Hut Stricklin
Hut Stricklin is correct. He drove a #51 Exxon Chevrolet(The Rowdy Burns car) in the 1990 Transouth 500. Perhaps a bonus ride for Stricklin after getting wrecked by Schrader in that years 125s. Hendrick also provided a car to Tri-Star Motorsports(with Stricklin as driver) following the wreck to allow them to run the 90 Daytona 500.
Alexamateo's court.
Atlanta was extended to 1.54 miles from 1.522 miles a few years ago, How many drivers have won on both configurations, and can you name them?
I just realized no one ever paid this off. The answer would be, fittingly enough, 3: Bobby Labonte, Jeff Gordon, and Dale Earnhardt, Sr.Quote:

You really had to dig deep to pull this thread out of the archives!
I found it by accident. I accidently clicked the the replys/views bar at the top of the front page and this popped up as one the most viewed threads in the NASCAR subforum. Glad I found it :D
This thread is blast from the past, now we just need a question served up to keep it back.
A soon as Alex sees it and tells me I'm right (which, I know I am, I'm always right :p ) then I'll be ready with the next question.
You might want to send him a PM just in case...
Done :up:Quote:

For clarification, of all time or in the "modern era"?

But why do I have the feeling its going to be someone older, like David Pearson?
I'll go with Newman, and see where that leads, lol.
I'll guess Bobby Isaac. I know there was one year before he won the title that he won a bunch, but lost the title. I want to say 68 or 69.
Wrong and wrong. Both try again.
Dick Hutcherson 1965.
Nope - try again. Hint, not only did he win the most races without winning the Championship, but, he came in 4th in the stndings....amazing.
Junior Johnson?.....another stab.
Nope.
Richard Petty with 18 wins in 1970 to Bobby Isaac's 11.
You are correct. Your go. Richard Petty had 18 wins and only finished in 4th place in Championship points.Quote:

Not sure if you are being tricky, but 1988 is right for their current use, but Nascar first used them ~1970-71 when they were transitioning from big blocks to small blocks. Small blocks were exempt and all had transitioned by 1974-75.
My answer was based on the current usage. I did recall Nascar using the plates in 70 & 71, but wasn't sure if they actually were used at Daytona & Talladega.
