Richard Petty finished 9th in this race. His only top 10 finish in 1990 & his 1st in nearly 2 years

This was my 1st ever Cup race I ever went to. I was a huge huge DW fan. But he got hurt at Daytona the week before. So he was too injured to run the race. So he only started the race so he got points. Jimmy Horton drove his car once DW got out of his car early. So so so sad. I was soooo excited for a year knowing I was going to my 1st race and going to see my hero at the time race. I was soooo depressed. Ugh I'll never forget that day. I have been to over 25 races at Pocono. I was 17 when at the time. I was a huge huge Darrell Waltrip fan. I'll never forget being so sad when I found out he got.hurt the week.before and was unable to race. However inwas rewarded In july of 1992 when DW won the race in fuel mileage. One of my favorite NASCAR moments. I have been a fan since 198i8 so there have been so so.many. 1990 and 1992 Pocono races will always mean soo much to me.

I was at this race and for some reason the thing I remember most about it is when Rob Moroso ripped the nose off of Mike Waltrip's car getting out of the pits.

2:50:44 If that isn't a good prediction of the future, as DW would be sponsored by Western Auto the next several seasons.

Thank you. This turned into a whale of a race first with the fight for the halfway bonus, then after a restart the fight for the lead got big.

Funny about Mark Martin using a transmission that would require gear changes rather than just keeping the car in top gear. From about 1994, again led by Martin with Roush Racing, that would become the norm at Pocono. Not that every driver liked it, Terry Labonte said changing gears there was a pain in the butt. They would keep the car in 3rd and only hit top towards the end of the front straight, then back to 3rd for the first turn and only get top again at the end of Long Pond, then back to 3rd again for the Tunnel Turn and the rest of the lap.

13:36 Fortunately some common sense prevails and DW sits home for a few weeks to let his leg heal. It also allows the team to get some semblance of rhythm intact.

I think Harry Gant is STILL the oldest Nascar winner in history at what age: 52 or 53......I'm not sure

@mattkowal90 7 жыл бұрын

Harry Gant indeed still holds the record as both the oldest driver to win a Cup race and to win a Pole for a Cup race. Martin won his 56th and final Pole for the 2013 Subway Fresh Fit 500K at Phoenix in March 2013 at the age of 54 years/1 month/and 20 days. Harry Gant won his 18th and final Cup win at Michigan in August 1992 at the age of 52 and 219 days. Gant scored his 17th and final career Pole at Bristol in August 1994 at the age of 54 years/7 months/17 days. Aside from Gant and Martin, the drivers I can think of that won after they turned 50 are Bobby Allison (1988 Daytona 500 at 50), and Morgan Shepherd at the age of 51 at Atlanta 1993. Looked it up, those are the only guys to win a race after they turned 50, Earnhardt is the 5th oldest.

Morgan Sheppard kept (sort of) racing on Sturdays into his 70s. Hershel McGriff raced NASCAR inhis 60s. Not sure how old Glotzbach was in 90’ but he ran Pepsi 400. Then there is Front row Joe...

@@MrChristopherHaas Shepherd ran a few Cup races in his 70s (I don't know why), and I'm sure only for a few laps, but set the record. His first start was in 1970, had he started a year earlier he'd have been the ONLY 6-decade driver.

Robert Anderson I miss seeing his ride out there this year. That car was qualifying top 10 and I continued to hope beyond hope that they would try to compete just one time lol..

@Chandler Braur As far as I'm concerned, as long as Harvick is in good equipment, he'll do it. In order for him to tie the record he would have 2029, and to break the record he would have to win in 2030. Born December 8th, 1975. Guy is healthy despite getting some gray in his hair. He may have a small frame, but ever since he moved to SHR in 2014 he went from having 23 NCS wins to 58! Kyle Busch and Harvick are now tied as the winningest active drivers right now. If it weren't for that dry spell of 117 races from 2007 to 2010, he would be up there with Earnhardt and Johnson by now.

Man those 500 milers at Pocono took forever. Much prefer the 400 milers. Fun racing here, though. Also a lot of obscure backmarkers in the field for this one.

@Holden308 6 жыл бұрын

Back then it was normal to run 500 miles at most races. Daytona, Talladega, Atlanta, Pocono, Rockingham, Darlington, Dover, Charlotte which made 14 x 500 mile races on the schedule (Daytona and Charlotte only ran one 500 mile race, but there was also the 400 at Daytona and 600 at Charlotte). The problem with Pocono and 500 miles is that a lap was almost a minute long. Even with no yellow's that's almost 3 and a half hours. Add in pit stops, yellows (which at Pocono took forever), the races rarely finished before 4 hours. One of those obscure backmarkers was the cause of the first caution, Australian driver Dick Johnson. As an Aussie I saw Dick's career in touring cars (road racing) where he was hugely successful, a 5 time Aussie champ and 3 time winner of the Bathurst 1000. He gave NASCAR a go when stock car racing came down under in the late 80s, but he never really came to grips with it. In 2018 he runs one of the leading V8 Supercar teams in Australia in partnership with Roger Penske (running Ford's as Johnson almost always has).

500 remains a better distance than 400. The extra 100 miles always saw the outcome change repeatedly.

@MrChristopherHaas 4 жыл бұрын

If they ran 400 miles Kulwicki would be a 6 time winner going into this race and Earnhardt would be a Daytona winner
