Davey Allison was driving her back to the pits after getting on his roof on the backstretch during the 500. Earnhardt wasn't the first guy to do that. He (Davey) had a little shoving match with Bodine after the incident in the garage.

Ignorant men marvel at extraordinary things. Intelligent men admire simple things.
A few minutes earlier some guy stole one of the Firebird pace cars and almost made a full lap before the "security" got him. This was a good time in NASCAR.
Ddint some fan die in some pre-race incident @ Talladega one time? Same incident?
Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
He's the master of going faster. -George Harrison
I recall earlier in it's life one of Richard Petty's crewman was killed in the pits when an air bottle exploded.......never heard of another (regular) air bottle exploding everOriginally Posted by KevMcNJ
That was his brother in law I beleive. That was back in the 70s. I wonder if the head got knocked off like on the Mythbusters.
I seem to recall some story about some bonehead getting a street car out onto the track and going at a very high rate of speed then getting killed.
Im positive it was @ Talladega.
NASCAR and Riverside always put on a pretty good event. Sr., Terry and Gant.
GREAT RACING too!!!NASCAR and Riverside always put on a pretty good event. Sr., Terry and Gant.
thats a great shot. You never got to see that angle from the Tv cameras. Earnhardts LF looks like its ready to get some air time.
His car would be in someones back yard now I imagine
Ok, try to guess the Daytona 500 driver. If Mopar doesn't get it he should be ashamed!

I'll say Buddy Baker.
The Ayn Rand of Indycar
No one had to badge the Offy.
Yep, that's Baker. He ran the big tracks for the Pettys in 71 and 72, like Pete Hamilton in 70. I don't think he lasted all year in 72.

Correct! Buddy Baker. You guys are good!
The bad thing about these threads is that you realize how long ago you took these shots...
What's worse is being 38, still tinkering with models from 1987 and suddenly without any warning realizing something that almost still seems "current" to you is in an "old school" thread.

the pace car incident and the street car incident were two different events. The pace car incident was famously covered live on ESPN. I remember watching that race. The street car incident I believe was years later.
The Unofficial, Self-Appointed Gloom & Doom Police...
Please keep the pics coming!
.
Ok, not a Cup race, right?Ok, try to guess the driver. If Mopar doesn't get it he should be ashamed!
Buddy Baker or Dave Marcis?
I'm sure that's what happened.
Had the scanner on Davey when that happened. He told Robert Yates, "It ain't hurt bad, I only turned it over once," then added, "Robert, you'd better keep me away from Geoff Bodine when this is over." Actually, he used a couple more adjectives to describe Bodine.Davey Allison was driving her back to the pits after getting on his roof on the backstretch during the 500. Earnhardt wasn't the first guy to do that. He (Davey) had a little shoving match with Bodine after the incident in the garage.
Several pics of Lennie Pond. Lennie was a damn good Mod driver before moving up to Cup.

The "kneeling next to the car" at the front stretch of Daytona is a cool shot. They should start that up again.
At what track was the bottom pic taken?
I think that's the old Nashville Farigrounds track.
Jandj thanks for the Lenny Pond photos he was one of my all time favs!
