On a particular August sunny Sunday my out dated late model stockcar sat on the starting grid for a Cup race that NO ONE picked me to win or even finish descent at. You see all the other teams had brand new shiny stockcars…current (at the time) models while my team was strapped for cash. Our car was several years old and wasn’t very fast….the car had never finished higher than 16th. The race began and I started gaining positions. Half way thru guess what….yep I am 16th. But in the final laps I made a desperate attempt to get the lead which panned out! I was leading! The little car that no one believed in including myself….took the checkered flag!!!! It was considered one of the biggest upsets in the history of NASCAR. The team I won for drifted back into obscurity the little car never finished higher than…you guessed it…16th again. And neither did I. I went on to be a journeyman in high demand…but the wins never came again. But I was popular in the 80′s covering the sport I loved in a different capacity.
So here is my question…..who is the driver I am speaking of?
What team or who were the owners of the little car? What mfg? What car #? What race and what year did this occur????
Good luck and have fun with it!
