This would be Sterling's first win since the 1996 Pepsi 400 at Daytona, snapping a 5 year dry spell. For those of you who were not around or may have forgotten, this was not a super popular win, as many fans at the time still unfairly blamed Marlin for Earnhardt's fatal crash.
Ricky Craven had a notably strong race as well, qualifying the PPI Motorsports No. 32 Ford on the Pole and finishing 2nd, while Bill Elliott finished 3rd in the Evernham Motorsports No. 9 Dodge.
What more could you say?
Is this video, courtesy of Duke Video via YouTube, from way back in the day when, ahem, "Men were men and sheep were scared...", or a more gentle time from where we are now, lookin' through rose tinted racing goggles at classic races at the height of their prowess all those years ago? I wonder...........
One of my favorite pieces in my Mark Martin collection is this driver side panel from his 3rd place finish in the First Union 400 at North Wilkesboro, he finished behind Dale Sr. and Jeff Gordon. Killer piece to have in my collection.
I’m trying to find out which racing series the Camaro on the picture originates from, the year, and, if possible, the driver.
I could be mistaken, but it reminds me of the 90s NASCAR Southwest/Southeast Series or the races held at Saugus Speedway back then, also could be ASA.
I’d really appreciate it if anyone could pinpoint the event or provide any information about the car.
Apologies if it turns out not to be NASCAR-related!
Less than a week after this race Irvan, winner of the 1991 Daytona 500, suffered a head injury during practice in his Busch Series car at Michigan International Speedway and had to be airlifted. Two weeks after that he announced his retirement.
This is a screenshot from a video, which is why the image looks a bit off.
I spent a couple cups of coffee riki tiki tavi-ing this display.
This race would be Andy Graves first Cup win as a Crew Cheif, but was the 20th career win for Texas Terry.
