I Believe If I Am Not Mistaken That Dale Earnhardt Got The Black Flag For Dropping Either Oil Or Debris On The Track.

What I Do Remember Is That He Came All The Way Back To Win The Race.


Someone needs to check the Complete Spin (or Crash) & Win List thread. If it isn't on there, it didn't happen.

This reminds me of a story my uncle once told me during the running of the 1992 Daytona ARCA 200. David Simko just passed by the camera and my uncle started to tell me why he doesn't use Simpson Garage Door and Repair anymore. There was a big storm back in 90 and his house lost power. During the surge I guess it fried his garage door motor or something. So he calls up Simpson Garage and I think it was Simpsons kid who picked up the phone. My uncle never liked Simpsons kid because I guess he was always hanging out by the gas station with some other punks. Simpsons kid takes a message and tells my uncle that he'll call back after lunch. It took three days to hear back from Simpson. My uncle had to park his car in the street that entire time because he can't open the door manually because of his back. Simpson calls him back and quotes him for like $700 or something which is outrageous. My uncle agrees to it anyways and it took Simpson another two days to come by and fix it. My uncle paid up and had to call him back to fix the door two more times because it was acting up. That door never did work right. One of the bulbs burnt out and he can't fix it because of his back. I think David Simko ended up finishing in the top ten. He had a really good car that day.

I Just Started Flying IFR In Flight Simulator X And I Hope That I Will Soon Recall Things As Vividly As This.

Did You And Your Uncle Consider The Effects This Would Have On Simko's Racing Career?

Honestly we both thought his career would take off. Take off just like Gary Balough's car on the backstretch did during practice for the 91 Goody's 300. Woodski was telling me about it because he taped every RPM2Night from 1986-1995

Антон has a copy of this on VHS. he will post it when he's unbanned

Why does it look to me like if he was permanently banned from this message board?

He is banned, he's not coming back and he doesn't have your video. On the off chance that your requests are serious, I think you've pretty much exhausted the capacity of both this board and the entire internet to help you. You may want to let it go and move on.

You know what's funny/sad? This thread regarding a 26-year old BGN race has more comments about it than a typical Xfinity race gets today.

What's an Xfinity race?


One of those weekend excursions that used to be popular but not many people enjoy it anymore. These days, people take the opportunity to attend chili cook-offs, college football games, fall festivals, pool parties, and circle jerks, or maybe just enjoy burning yard debris that has accumulated over a period of several months while they sip down an ice cold Budweiser. The tradition of the family gathering around the tube to enjoy some wholesome family-friendly Xfinity series competition has been replaced by more mentally stimulating affairs, such as washing the car, paying bills and attending youth sporting events.

A boring NASCAR race that takes too long. Even if it is 250-300 miles in length. Old BGN races were much more interesting.

I took on an interest in this race,because footage of the big pile up from this race was used in the movie Days Of Thunder starring Tom Cruise.
