Note: Not that she probably watched the race anyway... 5.

Fortunately, no one, including Woodland, was harmed. 8. Brock posted: 02.12.2007 - 6:22 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Correction: Woodland drove the #86 in that race. 9.

Are there pictures of this wild wreck somewhere? 10. Brock posted: 03.28.2007 - 10:48 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Here you go, Frogger49. I took this photo shortly after it happened during my second trip to Sonoma. I scanned it larger so you can see it better. Note the two tires scattered onto the track: http://usera.imagecave.com/powerpuff10/woodland.JPG It looks like I misspoke again, I'd written on the back that it was a practice session crash, not during qualifying. 11.

The car sailed up an embankment and tire barrier and went flying like the Dukes of Hazzard, but didn't land softy at all. 17.

This was Wally's only top-5 run in the Petty Blue special. 27.

Chase spun and got caught on the turn 1 tire barrier to bring out a yellow, after his car was freed he drove to pits with an extra tire from the barrier briefly stuck under his car although it eventually came off before he got back around. 28.

Andretti had to split this weekend between Indianapolis and Sonoma because of his commitments to Indy 500 time trials, ESPN announcer Bob Jenkins also had to cover both events so Andretti let Jenkins come with him to California aboard his chartered jet. 29.

Carelli and the team's efforts to run for rookie of the year were derailed earlier in the year after they failed to qualify for the first five races in a row so they dialed back to a part-time schedule and made the field in the first attempt doing so here. Unfortunately the #61 Lumina conked out at about the one-third mark of the race and the rest of the season would remain a struggle...but the team's decision later on to move into that newly-announced NASCAR pickup truck series mentioned earlier would pay dividends... 31.

While his big qualifying flip destroyed the car it has been preserved as part of the Woodland Auto Display collection at the Estrella Warbird Museum in California. 32. acerogers58 posted: 12.31.2019 - 7:39 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Charlie O'Brien's sponsor is Qantas as in the airline, not "Quantas". 33.

It was one of Robert Yates Racing's road racing chassis. It was later modeled into a Ford Taurus body for Dale Jarrett for road courses and it was used in the 1999 championship run and used up until 2001 where it was re-skinned to UPS colors. The chassis has been used for vintage racing and was later put on display at the Woodland Auto Display on the grounds of the Estrella Warbirds Museum.
