It seems like Darrell Waltrip ran out of gas in his cool down lap.

what i remember about this race is nascar possibly stealing another race
from bobby allison (in a buick decaled thunderbird like to see that
today.) bobby stretched fuel mileage all day and around lap 200 caught a
caution during green flag pitstops and had all but ricky rudd a lap
down. after everyone stops again during the caution nascar stops bobby
on the front stretch and MRN says nascar bobby passed the pace car to
get a lap ahead total BS. allisons crew argues for a moment to no avail.

Yeah, poor Bobby, everyone was always against poor defenseless Bobby
Allison, what a shame. :(

Phil Good scores a solid top-20 driving a Buddy Arrington-surplus
Chrysler. As noted before this was the last race where any NASCAR Cup
teams ran Chryslers and I highly doubt we'll ever see another one.

With this race being the last start for a Chrysler it also marked the
last time 6 different car makes started a Cup race.

KDA is correct. Bobby Allison was driving a Ford Thunderbird decaled as
a Buick.
Remember, this was shortly after Allison seperated from DiGard and had
to put a team together quickly, as he had obligations to both Miller
Brewing and Buick.The scoring problems KDA refers to are also correct. I
was there that day.
I do not know where Allison got the Ford. Anyone?

@12 could Allison's Ford have came from Petty Enterprises? They had a
Ford for a few races in '85, but were dormant for most of the year.

I think Bobby said in his autobiography that he ran a petty enterprises
ford for a few races

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