muggle not's NASCAR TRIVIA thread

[Hoss Ghoul]

I haven't seen muggle not back on the boards since the changeover, but in recognition of the largest thread on the old MSF boards I thought I would start this thing back up.

I'm sure everyone remembers the premise and rules of the thread, but if not a refresher. Limit questions to NASCAR Cup based trivia, the person who answers the last question poses the next, etc.


To get things started again...

A question in light of Toyota's upcoming entry into NASCAR.

Dodge's return to Winston Cup racing in 2001 after a 15 year abscence netted them how many wins their first season back? What finishing position in the season standings was their top driver that year?

jayski.com tells that Ricky Rudd is returning to Robert Yates Racing for 2007.
It further states that the #28 will return with Rudd to replace the #88.

The trivia question is :
What is the highest in Cup points standings did Ricky Rudd ever finish ?

[Jonesi]

Second in '91 behind DE and only 4 points ahead of Davey Allison.

[RaceFanStan]

That is correct Jonesi !

It is your turn to post the next question.

[Lee Roy]

Second in '91 behind DE and only 4 points ahead of Davey Allison.

And as I recall, Rudd made an ass out of himself on stage at the awards banquet that year.

[RaceFanStan]

Was that when the "crying towel" episode occured ?
