That is, the final race that the 80s Monte Carlo was Chevrolet's
OFFICIAL Winston Cup car. Dave Marcis and others (mostly West Coast or
one-off entries) continued to use the Monte Carlo. Dave didn't have many
dollars, and wasn't about to waste them on new Lumina bodies when the
MCs worked just fine!

Third straight top-5 for Dick Trickle. Not bad for a 48 year-old rookie.

Dave Marcis did indeed switch to the Lumina in the 89 season.

There's a bit of a story with the final caution of this race. #29- Dale
Jarrett did a 360 off Turn 4, then #9- Bill Elliott came off the corner
and was blinded by the smoke and ran over the 29. The crash caused
Elliott to lead fluid on track, leading to everyone getting sideways off
Turn 4 and ultimately the Larry Pearson spin that brought out the yellow.
Why on earth was that rule implemented that recommended passbacks for
people who made passes on a bump and run? That doesn't make any sense.
If you pass them in any way, you've passed them.





Mods please check the records on this one. Geoff Bodine and Darrell
Waltrip ran side by side for several laps between laps 85-100 and I saw
Darrell lead at least one.

These are the official records Bob. You have to understand pre-digital
timing) and scoring (starting at Sears Point in 1993) they were human
beings calculating this and human beings occasionally make mistakes. I
imagine there are thousands of mistakes in the official records and
short of re-watching every race they will never be fixed.

I understand that there were alternate methods of scoring back in the
'80s and '90s, I think I actually saw a video of how they actually score
races (I believe it was the Atlanta race in this particular season), but
I simply wasn't sure whether this was an actual scoring miss (like the
TranSouth 500) or just something that was accidentally left out in the
database. Thanks for the clarification

Jeff Hammond showed on twitter today that the clock that DW won here
from this race is the one that DW gave to Hammond and is in his house.
It even has a plaque on it.
