Except for the fact that Darrell Waltrip won the race at Martinsville the week before this one. 9. gary24fan posted: 12.20.2011 - 6:46 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I recently acquired a copy of the program from this race. Joe Dan Bailey was entered in the #36 National Motors Pontiac, Ronnie Adams in the #38 Adams Racing Chevy, and Kevin Evans in the #54 Gray Racing Chevy. Some, like J.D. McDuffie you can probably assume, but others like Glenn Moffat and Clark James will remain a mystery for now. 10.

He resigned from Hendrick in September. He was entered in the Southern 500 though and withdrew. 12.

He go on to win four times here at North Wilkesboro before it dropped off the schedule. 18.

The team treated the event as a de facto test session, bringing the #28 T-Bird behind the wall on purpose a few times to make major adjustments (like changing all the springs) before sending Davey back out to get more experience. This one and Richmond in the spring were the only short track races they ran all season. 20. zuel660 posted: 05.12.2020 - 5:37 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Bill Elliott's Coors/Melling team showed improvement with their short track program from 1985 by sweeping the poles for the 2 North Wilkesboro races in 1987, & then winning the spring Bristol race in 1988 en route to the '88 Winston Cup championship. 21.

Four races, all of which were in 1987, saw him have no top fives, no top tens, no wins and no pole awards. He had and average starting position of 29.2 and an average finish of 19.8, with a best finish of 13th at Richmond in September. He competed in The #12 for Roger Hamby in Chevrolet and Oldsmobile. 23. Rich posted: 08.06.2020 - 11:31 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The commentators were Bob Jenkins and Dr. Jerry Punch.

Caudill's only Cup appearance was with Roger Hamby, Hamby had Larry Pollard in his car for this race. Johnson was a regular driver in Filip's car, there doesn't seem to be any reason he wouldn't have qualified it. 26.
