This was the myopia of then and later - everyone overlooked the crashes had been escalating in the years BEFORE the restrictor plate was brought back, and the non-plate tracks have tended to have more vicious wrecks (this 2017 Speedweeks there was a disastrous sprint car crash that badly injured three spectators at one of the Florida dirt tracks).

Back then there was no lucky dog bullshit you had to race to get your lap or laps in this case back, you'll see allot of that back in the day and I've seen drivers in fact Bill Elliott came back from 3 laps down at this very track and won, and he did it by passing cars on the track not by cartoons and lucky dogs did it the hard way, and not only him.

Could anyone help me identify a late 80s Nascar race...... Either '88 or '89, maybe even '90 (no later). I think it was a 1.5 mile track. Both Mark Martin and Alan Kulwicki had similar crashes (hit the wall, right side smashed in), Terry Labonte spun (driving the blue #44), and I think Ken Schrader crashed 3 times. I think everyone was chasing Bill Elliott that day. Bob Jenkins was the main announcer. This is all I remember.
@BSNFabricating 4 жыл бұрын
If Terry Labonte was in the 44 car, it would've been 1986 at the latest. If everybody was chasing Bill Elliott, it would've probably been '85. I know Alan Kulwicki made ran his first Cup race that year, but don't remember if Mark Martin was in it that year... after his first excursion into NASCAR (1981-83), he went back and ran ASA and other things, and ran a few Cup races until going full-time with Roush in '88. Ken Schrader was driving for Junie Donlavey in the #90 Red Baron T-bird at that time. Oh, and the races in Australia were in '88 and 89 if I remember right.

I noticed they were talking about the Rusty Wallace/Raymond Beadle conflict. What people didn't know then was Rusty was pissed because he was having to buy tires and other things out of his own pocket which was just wrong on Raymond's part. Also Raymond was nowhere around during that time and it had Rusty pissed. Rick Hendrick helped Rusty and the team buy tires etc. It was a really f'd up situation Raymond put Rusty and the team in because he was caught up in his drag racing and using funds for it. The only reason Rusty run 1990 with BlueMax is because of that contract but he got the Miller sponsor and was starting his own team with Penske and Don Miller but due to the contract he had to race 1990 with BlueMax. That 1988/89 team should've won two championships in a row and easily could've in 1990 but the 1989 issues spilled over into 1990 and some key members left.

O.K. So just WHY was this type of racing so much better than now? No pack racing, and 10 MPH less? I believe NASCAR needs to figure out how to go back to this type of racing (IMHO) Cars were hard to drive, and the price of failure was high... So much better
