Mark started deep in the pack in 26th, finishing in 6th place. Just a year prior he had won at Sears Point in dominating fashion.

This is the only race I can find images with the same contingency sponsor orientation and even the riveting from the now missing splitter brace aligns perfectly from race imagery.

It's very likely that Labonte is in fact lapping Wallace as Rusty finished 32nd, 11 laps down.

Rick Mast (1), Ward Burton (22), Johnny Benson (30), Kyle Petty (42), Bobby Hamilton (43). Pontiac only won one race in 1996 with Bobby Hamilton at the Dura-Lube 500 at Phoenix in October.

The 427 Tunnel Port in this picture was running a dual quad setup. NASCAR allowed this in 1966 in an effort to offset the performance deficiency caused by the 426 Hemi's heads. In 1968, the Hemi was also allowed to run dual quads. In 1969, all engines were limited to a single 4 barrel.

Back in the day I used to watch Wind Tunnel religiously. It was how I ended my weekends, man I miss Speed.

Smoke is the only person to have ever won the Cup Series Championship under the Winston Cup, the Nextel Cup, and the Sprint Cup Series names. He is also the only person to have ever won both an IndyCar and Cup Series Championship.

Mark was in at least three incidents and couldn't seem to catch a break. It's a shame too, he drove from 34th all the way into the top 10 but a lug nut issue on pit road and late spin set him back, he'd later finish 16th

For 1984 and 1985 Petty was actually driving for Mike Curb rather than Petty Enterprises. While this was his 199th Cup win it was his 203rd NASCAR win over all as Petty had won a Convertible race in 1959 and 3 Winston West races.

Richard Petty had also won a USAC Stock Car race at Pocono in 1973.

The Roush team bringing a whole new meaning to Ford Fusion

Baker drove a total of 28 races for the Petty's, collecting 2 wins. 18 races in 1971 with a win at Darlington, and 10 in 1972 with the win at Charlotte. He ended the 1972 season in the famous K&K No 71 Dodge, winning the season ending race at Texas.

With his brother Donnie helping by relief driving, they finished 3rd. Richard Petty won the race.

I willfully admit mine is incredibly basic but I'm a proud huge Terry Labonte fan and this scheme never gets boring for me no matter how many times I see it...
