He received no points. 4. bigjohnson posted: 08.23.2009 - 3:23 am Rate this comment: (0) (1) Jim Bown usually raced on the West Coast. He ran in the Winston West Series in late '70's He was always out at Riverside when I would go there. My guess is that he was in another class (getting points there) and not running for Winston Cup points. 5.

His fourth place run in the Hardee's car was his first top-5 after switching from Harry Ranier's #28 Ford to his own #29 Oldsmobile at the start of the season. This was the penultimate top-5 run of his career. 8. nascar_vd / racing-reference.info posted: 11.29.2016 - 10:00 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Note: Joe Ruttman relieved Richard Petty in the #43. 9.

That's unbelievable. He was a master at Pocono. A true wheelman. 11.
