That would've been three flips in three weeks,and the #83 would've been in each one. 2.

Also, Bill Elliott brushed Bill Ingram's spinning car and basically fell out of contention after that. The crash Start about 15th place back. 6. hyltonfan08 posted: 01.05.2009 - 4:31 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Final career cup start for Patty Moise. 7. jp posted: 02.21.2009 - 12:26 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) can someone upload the ruttman wreck and the Big one on youtube ? 8.

Mickey Gibbs had Dingmon Petroleum on his 1/4 panels (I was there and took several pics I've since uploaded to the Historical Stock Car message board) 9.

Davey Allison and Darrell Waltrip were exiting their respective pits, with Waltrip on the outside of Allison. Jimmy Spencer--who hadn't entered his pit yet--was coming from behind, and had just started to turn into his pit. Waltrip cut right into his path, and Spencer turned back to the right to avoid him--too late. Spencer collided with the right rear of Waltrip's car, lifting the left front of his own car up into the air. He spun off pit road and into the infield. Neither car was seriously damaged. 10.

The Great Dave posted: 02.25.2016 - 3:52 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) So I own a program fromt he race and it had the entry list for this race. According to the entry list there are two additional cars that DNQed for this race. #99 Norm Benning Wyatt Interiors Chevrolet (Jerry O'Neil) #06 Terry Byers South Limo Buick (Terry Byers) 13. The Great Dave posted: 08.04.2016 - 10:41 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Also One additional DNQ #49 James Hylton - Hylton Racing Buick (James Hylton) Also the starting lineup I have is slightly different then what is presented here. I think tis is due to the rules at the time stating if you went to the back of the field, you were credited with starting at the back. So here are four drivers who went to the rear of the field TO the Back - #8 Bobby Hillin #16 Larry Pearson #15 Brett Bodine #29 Dale Jarrett 14. nascar_vd / racing-reference.info posted: 09.13.2018 - 11:01 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Lineup now available. 15.

Just wondering because the day before this race he won the Busch series race in Dublin, Virginia. Would've been a busy weekend going back and forth for him. He is the only driver that competed in both races. 16. Jimnsimforever posted: 12.21.2018 - 1:30 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Also, to whoever updates the pages. The reason Bobby Hillin, Brett Bodine, Dale Jarrett and Larry Pearson went to the back of the field is because they all wrecked their primary cars in practice and all 4 had to go to their backup car. 17.
