7 DAY ARCHIVE
|
By Greg Engle,Editor, Cup Scene Daily, October 6
A day after a controversial finish at Talladega, NASCAR issued a statement defending their decision that gave Tony Stewart the victory Sunday.
On the final lap Stewart was leading the pack as they headed towards the finish line. Second place driver Regan Smith dove below the yellow line and crossed the finish line ahead of Stewart. It took several minutes after the race for NASCAR to declare Stewart the winner saying that Smith had gone ‘out of bounds’ to advance his position, a violation of the rules. Smith was eventually scored in 18th place, the last car on the lead lap.
This Day in NASCAR History By Bill Marx, The Sporting News,October 7
1989: Jack Sprague, 25, makes his NASCAR debut, finishing 41st in the All Pro 300 Nationwide Series race at Charlotte. Sprague completes eight laps before his engine fails. He doesn't finish last, though. That distinction goes to Ed Berrier, who completes two laps before his engine fails. In 1997, Sprague will win the first of three Craftsman Truck Series titles.
