This is the only race Tommie Crozier ever finished (15th). Bob Riley got
his career best in his last start (14th). Feel good story for Phil Good,
who finished 17th, tying a career best which he earned earlier at
Richmond in February.

Is this the race that the RCR team performed the "unheard-of feat of
replacing the camshaft in Earnhardt's engine", in order to get Dale back
on the track to gain some points?

No, that happened in this race in 1990.

Bill Elliott had 1 good season...THAT'S IT!!! A driver that comes to
mind is Jeremy Mayfield. Mayfield > Elliott.

Chris that is the dumbest statement I've ever heard on these boards and
it is very uneducated. Elliott had several years he was in points
contention not just 1985. Why a MOD would even approve a false statement
is beyond me.

Elliott was really only in serious contention for the title in '85, '88,
and '92... He blew two of them. He about blew all three. I guess you
could look at '84 as a season where he made some late strides and had an
outside chance.

Ryan, Elliott had a 6.6 average finish in 1988. That's a better
finishing average than 6 of 7 Earnhardt's Cup years. Get some
perspective and give Rusty Wallace credit for having a great 1988 season
as well.

These guys are complete idiots talking out of their arses and can't back
up anything they say. Walley don't waste your time on stating facts
because they are only interested in lies and BS. I can't stand people
that try to talk racing that lack knowledge of what they are talking about.

Mizlou broadcast this race. Mike Hogewood and Dick Brooks were in the
booth with Mark Garrow in the pits.

Harry Gant's second-place finish was the start of an incredible streak
that saw him finish second in the next four Winston Cup races (including
the inaugural Winston).

Ed Baugess and George Wiltshire were both driving Oldsmobiles.
