That's 9 for Awesome Bill if you are keeping count!! In race #20!! 4. kidd1023 posted: 12.16.2008 - 11:14 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) First of all michael waltrip is not the worst driver considering he's won 2 Daytona 500's. Second of all Wally Dallenbach never won a Winston Cup race. Lastly "That's 9 for Awesome Bill if you are keeping count!! In race #20!!"...how do you figure that when this was race #18? Race #20 was the Southern 500 and Bill won that one too 5. Bill posted: 04.03.2010 - 6:16 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Hey, who DNQ'd the #13 car this race? I've got a photo set from qualifying that shows a yellow and blue #13 car and I can't figure out who it is. According to NASCAR's number histories, no one ran the 13 at all in '85, and I can't find a list of DNQs to try and look it up driver-by-driver. Any help would be appreciated!!! 6.

Like he said in his post race interview no one could say he didn't earn this one. 7. Ryan W posted: 06.23.2013 - 8:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) First of all Waltrip is not a good driver. Just because he was practically given both of those races doesn't mean he was a good driver. He was in good cars that year. Secondly, how many non-restrictor plate wins does he have? Exactly. 8.

Earnhardt and Hillin were able to continue, while Allison was eliminated. Earnhardt would later be spun out within the final 10 laps by Dick Trickle, driving the DiGard R&D car #10. The Intimidator managed to save his badly damaged Chevrolet, avoiding a caution. Both Michael Waltrip and Kyle Petty blew their engines on the final lap but were able to keep their cars rolling. 14.

That wreck was initially expected to sideline him for the year but he made it back and claimed a top-20 on his return here; his 17th-place run was his best finish of the season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
