WAYNE RESIDENT TAKES HOME THE 

GOLD FOR SECOND HYDROPLANE WIN 

He has had the thrill of vic[oty and the agony 

of defeat, but last Sunday, Wa,yae resident 

Mark Tate showed his friends and family 

members that he still has what it takes to win 

the gold . 

'letewon his second APBA Gold Cup hydroplane 

race drivingthe Smotin'Jce powerboat 

He plowed through the Detroit River like an 

eagle looking for its prey. 

"Its great to win again," Tate said . "We've 

always made the finals in the last few years . 

We wanted to be on the Inside during this 

race, and we had a smooth run all around .^ ' 

Tate won all four heats last weekend, and 

, he t5nished with $000 points in the standings . . 

The 1Yde finished second for the fifth consecutive 

year, and Miss Budweiser came in third . 

"I felt pretty good going into the race, but 

you never want to chirp before it's time to 

chirpb Tate said. 

Tli~ year the 19?8 John Glenn graduate 

said his strategy involved running a mistake- 

free race, and he wanted to show everyone his 

hand inthe Roostertail turns . The Smokin' Joe

been racing since he was a youngster. He said he 

enjoys the competitan aspect of the race.

"We thought the race would be won m me 

Roostertail," Tate said . "That's where we 

thought we had the advantage." 

On Saturdag Tatre wnn bNb baats .wd leala 

the fastest laps of its heats,149:G41 and 148:284. 

The majority of the powerboats couldn't keep 

up with him 

Miss Budweiser would have been Tate's 

greatest rival during the race, however, driver Chip Hanauer had to drop out Saturday due to 

acute lower back spasms when the boat's escapebatchonthebottomblewopenandwater 

- 

poured inside . 

. , The incident oecurred during the warm up 

time, only two minutes before the start of the 

first heat. Hanauer was traveling approximately 

80 to 90 mph at the time of the accident 

°I felt really bad about what happened to 

Chip because he's not only a top competitor, 

. but hek also a&iend," Tate said . "You don't 

want to see anyone involved in that type of 

sihtation ." 

Tate's love for powerboating began when he 

was only 13 years old. He previously informed 

the Asaocioted Newspapers that he use to watch 

boat races, and he Imew even as a youngster 

that he wanted to race professionally one da,y. 

"Most people when they go on vacation go 

up north or go somewhere to get away, but 

whenmy family g0cS onvacation, we choose to 

go tn a boat race," Tate said . °IC's ftmny, once it 

gets into your blood, it's hard to stay away ." 

Tate attributes a majority of his success to 

having spent most of his life with fciends and 

family members who race. He sees boating as 

a family activipc ' 

"I really enjoy the thrill of a boating competition 

and the comradery you have with the 

team members;' Tate said. "Boating is very 

family oriented. It can be relaxing and chal-

lenging. There is always something new to 

learn . 

Ì think like anything else in life, no matter 

whatyou do, you have tosmy very focused and 

dedicated . The only way to gain knowledge or 

to enhance your abilities is to talk to your peer 

and to surround yourself with-good people.^ 

Tate is considered one of the top hydroplane 

drivers in the world . In 19911 he broke 

three world records. 

While competing in Seattle, the Wayne resident 

averaged 147.8 mph in the two-mile competitive 

lap race aad averaged 144.7 mph 

during the 10-mile competitive lap raee 

. With more than 20 years of racing experience, 

Tate bas never had a serious accident, 

however, he has seen other drivers who 

weren't so lucky. 

He said he realizes there is no room in the 

racing world for someone who Is unxure of 

himself: 

"It's like a baseball player who gets hit in 

the head or the leg with a 100 mph pitch," Tate 

said . ' Phe next inning he has to get back up 

and hit again. That's just part of the game. You 

. accept it, and you don't worry about it If you 

worry, then you're timid . And, if youte timid, 

you can't perform to the best of your ability ." 

Tate informed the Associaied Newspxpns in 

1991 that he wanted to stay in the hydroplane 

racing sport for the next five to seven years. 

"I would like to show that I can be consistentwith 

the sport,"Tate said . "I need to prove 

to alyselfday in and day outtlut I canwin on a 

consistent basis." 

But, from his win last weekend, fans, 

friends and family members can tell that Tate 

has already proven he is a winner.

CONCORD, N.C. - Jeff Gordon is going to 

win a lot of races before his NASCAR 

Winston Cup caree.r comes to an end somo 

time in the 21st cennuy., 

But his first victory will always be the most 

precious- 

'"1Lis is amemory and feeling I'll never 

forget," said an elated Gordon after capturing 

Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Ivfotor 

Speedway. 

"Even if I never win another Winston Cup 

race, I'm going to be a bappy, happy persm," . 

he added "1Lis win makes sure of that" 

Gordon, who scored his first two Busch 

Series wins at Charlotte, admitted he "got 

choked up with 10 laps to go . I knew if I 

didn't stick it in the wall, it (the win) was 

going to be mine. But I told myself I had to 

get hold of myself and drive as hard as I 

could. 

"But I completely lost it on the white flag . 

The tears started mnning down my face. It

"I haven't heard a single word from Fdtd ;" 

Gordon had nuteA on the eve , of the Coca- 

Cola 60o .'They haven't offered me anything. 

"I told everybody why I called Michael 

Kranefuss back, and that was to fmd out why 

he was leaving messages for me," added 

Gordon, who was quite unhappy when 

infonned several newspapers had run stories 

about dw reported offu . "I never spoke one 

word to him. I spoke to his wife, but that was 

it. I never spoke to him . 

"Either Michael Kranefuss is blowing 

smoke or somebody is Dying to start sonw 

thing . It's not going to work . We'm not Ptayhtg 

the game . 

Continuing the Chevrolet driver sald, 

could care less about what they think I'm 

going to do next year. I know I'm going to be 

with Rick Hendrick and Chevrolet. Maybe 

some of these guys (the media who reported 

that Gordon had been offered the ride) slauld 

apply for a job with the labloids . I gave'am 

my number and told 'em to call if the+o's a 

question, but I haven't heard from 'em . 

Maybe theyjusl like to write fiction." 

Gne of the roam for the Gordon rumor Is 

Kranehtca, who ran the Pord Motor Company 

racing program for mom than a dozen years 

before retGing last fall, would love to steal 

Gordon back for the Ford camp . When 

Gordon announced two years ago he was 

going to leave Ford for Hendrick and 

Chcvrolet, Krutetuss was quite upset . 

However, as Gordon stated so emphatically, 

he doesn't "care" what Krsnefuss or Ford 

wants, he has NO plans to drive the 

KranefussJCar1 Haas car next year . 

As far as 1994 is cancerned, Ihe top thrce 

candidates for the Kranefuss/Haas ride are 

Winston Cup veterans Bobby HiBin and Rick 

Wilson and road racing star Geoff Brahham . 

All three am seheduled to test the car early in 

June at Michigan . 

Reportedly, Bnbham hcads this shonIlst as 

Kranefuss believes the fom-time Camel OT 

champlon has the ability to be s successful 

WinstanCupdriver . 

Evemham also noted during the post-race 

victory press conference, "the boss (Rick 

Hendrick) says he has signed DuPont 

through the year 2000 ." 

DuPont sponsors the Gordon-Evemham- 

Hendrick teant . 

Gordon's victory puts Chevrolet back in

Another happy Chevrolet driver was Dale 

farrea after fmisFdng fourth which equals his 

best finish of the year. 

"I'd have to say Gordon outfoxed everybody

really handling good. We got four fires on 

Ihat last Pit stop, and we got too tight . Idan't

all-important second session was scheduled 

for Thuesday attemoon . 

Because cooler temperatures mean faster 

spceds, only five drivers elected to requalify 

on Thursday, and only ane-rookie Loy Allen 

Jr.-was able to increase his speed enough to 

the make the top 40. 

Marcis was fighting a losing, battle in his 

bid to make the top 40 after getting caught up 

in the 12-car melee in the Winston Open at 

Charlotte on Saturday night, May 21 . 

As a result, he was forced to borrow the 

Richard Childress-owned Chevrolet that Dale 

Eamhardt had nut at Narth Willtesboro, N .C. 

on April 17. 

"Yesterday (Wednesday, May 25), I tried 

driving it with Dale's seat in it, and I just 

couldn't get myself squared away very 

good," said Marcis, who ran 173.544 miles 

per hour during the first time trial session . It 

was not among the top 40 speeds . 

"Today (Thutsday. May 26) I got my seat 

in it," added Marcis . "I got a better feel for 

the race car. But with basically one hour of 

practice today. I just ran out of time ." 

In addition to criticizing Charlotte's qualifying 

schedule, Marcis ripped the time the 

teamc have to spent at the track for the two 

weeks (11 days) of racing . 

"It's a damn circus," Marcis told the 

Charlotte (N .C.) Observer. "It's this damn 

Charlotte. Everybody hates this damn place . 

You gotta spend two weeks here, and it's a 

total waste of money . I'm not the only one

+Gold Cup, raced neck-and-neck 

around the 2 .5-mile course . Then 

Smokin' Joe's superior power took 

command. 

"They have the faster boat, what 

else can you do?" Brown said . "I 

just tried to push him hard for as 

long as I could. I feel very satisfied 

wilh What we did here ." 

The Tide has now finished seoond 

five straight years in the race . 

It was quite a change from the 

previous two years for Tate . In 

1992, Tate, driving the Winston 

Eagle, stalled while running neck 

and neck with perennial champ 

Chip Hanauer in Miss Budweiser . 

Last year, after setting a world 

speed record (170 .087 mph) during 

qualifying, Tate blew an engine at 

the start of the Detroit race 

. This year, there were no mistakes 

or mishaps . 

"It was a great rsce and I am 

glad to be a part of that," Tate said . 

1 think we gave the fans the most 

exciting race they've seen in a long 

time." 

Although Tate and Brown 

finished first and second, the best 

race was perhaps run by Miss 

Budweiser substitute driver Mike 

Hanson, a native of Washington 

now living in Madison 

. Hanson drove the U-6 Kellogg's 

Frosted Fhtkes Miss Madison to 

second place in the national points 

standings in 1993, before the community-owned 

hydroplane was forced 

to the sidelines this season after 

Kellogg's unexpectedly pulled its 

sponsorship in an 11th-hour 4ecision 

and no new funding could be 

arranged prior to the start of the 

season . 

Hanson, who took over as driver 

of the Miss Budweiser when 

Hanauer was injured Saturday, raI• 

Iied the team to a third-place finish 

(130 .110) despite the fact that Miss 

Budweiser started as the sixth-place 

qualifier, meaning it had to start 15 

seconds after the five others in the 

trailer-boal position . 

"It was tough to find good water, 

but we managed to make up a little 

time in each lap," Hanson said . 

Hanson, who had driven the Kellogg's 

Miss Madison to a third 

place finish in the Detroit Gold Cup 

last year, would have been working 

on the U-9 Miss Exide crew last 

weekend if Hanauer had not been 

injured when the emergency'escape 

hatch came loose on Miss Budweiser 

during warm up laps prior to 

Saturday's first heat of action . 

. 

Hanauer, the sport's winningest 

active driver with 50 career vic- 


apparently slipped off his face . 

While adjusting the mask, Han• 

son allowed the Miss Bud to swing 

dangerously close to the concrete 

seawall and grandstand area . He 

corrected the boat in time to avoid hitting the wall, but not before he 

had hit a course marker and 

splashed down the grandstand with 

Detroit River water . He was 

penalized one lap for hitting the 

buoy. 

Miss Budweiser owner Bernie 

Little signed Hanson to drive the 

defending national champion Miss . 

Bud when Hanauer was unable to 

compete . 

According to sources close to the 

unlimited racing circuit, Hanson 

will most likely drive the Miss I 

Budweiser in the second race of the i 

season at Lake Lewisville just , 

north of Dallas, Texas, next week- i

carne a sport on Feb . 15, 1948, following the 

formation of the National Association of 

Stock Car Auto Racing, is coming into its 

own as a mainstream sport that advertisers 

flock to in hopes of reaching a 

diverse audience. A Nasear spokesman 

says about 40% of its spectators are 

women - which may explain the interestfrom 

Tide . 

Automobile races that include speeds 

exceeding 200 miles per hour (or 145 mph 

more than the national speed limit on a 

majority of highways) may not, at first 

glance- seem to be the perfect marketing 

fit for, say, the Family Channel, a uoit of

marketing manager at the Family Channel. 

Its connection with Nascar's events . 

she says, "is beneficial with openingdoors

And hundreds of thousandsof people watch 

stock-car racing ." 

The Nascar spokesman says sponsors 

were beating down the door to be 

associated with the Brickyard 400, so 

named because the Speedway used to be 

surrounded by bricks. Nascar knew it 

woWd receive a favorable reception from 

advertisers because of the potential reach 

uf the race . When it held a test session two 

years ago with only nine cars at the 

Speedway 35,008 enthusiasts showed up . 

Last year, when it tested the track with 

35 cars,'88,000 individuals came to the 

track. 

About one million people have written 


in hoping for tickets to the Brickyard 400, 

but only about 400,008 are expected to 

receive tickets . ABC Sports, a unit of 

Capital Cities/ABC, will televise the event 

live . 

A spokesman for Pennzoil says the 

company wanted to sponsor the event 

because of its expected "high visibility and 

because we have been associated with the 

Indianapolis race for over . 50 years ." 

Pennzoil is planning a major marketing 

push connected with the race, inciuding a 

"scratch and win" sweepstakes with 10

Luring sponsors such as Country Time Lemonade and Maxwell House Cuffee is a 

far cry frortt the dubious way stock-car 

racing began. The sport has its roots in 

Prombition, the 14-year period that began 

in 1919 . when alcoholic beverages were

needing fast vehicles to transport the 

illegal liquid, souped up their tars so they

Making The Field No Longer Automatic For Some Teams 

By JEFF OWENS 

Busch Series Editor 

RIC'HMOND, Va. _ How competitive has 

Winston Cup and~ Grand National racing 

become7 

So canpeddve dut Dale Earnhardt failed to 

quaLfy far a we fa the fust time in 16 years 

at Richmond International Raceway last 

week . 

So competitive that Richard Petty, the 

urdisp.ned "King" of stock car racing, had to 

pack up his famous STP Pontiac and go 

harw 

So competitive that wealthy sponsors like 

STP and Haolas had no car to sponsor while 

Camel's gmoking Jce was out looking for a 

ridc 

So canpeLdve that rookie Ward ]3unop felt 

like jumping for joy aftu making his first 

race of the 1994 seasai . 

Eernhardt missed the cut for the Busch 

Grand National Hardee's Friaco 250 at 

Richmond IntemaGonal Raceway last week 

proving that NASCAR's top two divisions 

have become so competitive' that even 

NASCAR's best must be on top of his game 

each and every wee7r, 

"It's remarkable that Dale Earnhardt is 

loading up and going home, and he's ihe beat 

there is," said Busch star David Green, who 

started on me pole for last week's race . "It's 

not guing to get auy easta . It's jusl going to 

getworseandwolae," With nearly 50 ears allanpting to make the 

field for every Winston Cup race srtl nearly 

60 vying to make the Busch events, qual'dying 

has become a high stakes game of 

chance. No one is guarameed a starting spot 

anymore . Not even Esmhardl and Petty .

Jarren's poor qualifying mns have made for 

aume tense moments and sorne soul-searching 

on the normally close-knit Gibbs tesm . . 

"Cenainly, we're concerned when you go 

to two races ard you don't mxke either one 

of them by qualifying ;" Jarrett said. "It's 

made for a little more effort on everybody's

and thinking about what we need to be

Musgrave's Pole Run Puts Goodyear Back On Top 

By BOB MOORE 

Winston Cup Editor 

RICHMOND, Va . - Ted Musgrave and 

Goodyear stole the show on pole day at 

Richmond International Raceway as 

Musgrave captured the first pole position of 

his carcer and gave Goodyear ils first pole of 

1994 . 

Hoosier Iire president Bob Newton had 

promised his "best" tire of thc year for Ihe 

first shon track race of the seascn 

. If this was the case, the already long year 

for the Indiana firm is going to get a lot 

longer. 

Wnilc Hoosicr-clad drivers Loy Allen and 

Gcoff Bodine won the pole positions at the 

first Iwo races of the year, Goodyear 

destroyed their tire rival in each of the two 

cvents. 

And with Goodyear drivers posting the 10 

quickest times and 18 of the top 20, most 

people were predicting another Goodyear 

rout in the Pontiac Excilemcnt 400 at the 

ducc-quarlcrs of a mile facibty 

. And that's ezactty what happened as the 

Goodyear drivers once again dominated the 

race . 

While Goodycar's dominzdon of qualifying 

stole part of the headlines, Musgrave's run 

was deserving of a splash of its own . 

In beating Roush Racing teammste Mark 

Martin, Musgrave set a track record of 

123.474 miles per hour in becoming the 48ih 

di/terenl driver to win a pole position in the 

modem ers of NASCAR Winston Cup racing 

. 

And the quiet Musgrave was quick to get 

credit for his record nm to Martin and car 

owner lack Roush. 

Martin, who posted the second best time of 

123 .012 mph to make it an all-Roush front 

row, needled his teammate after Musgrave 

had bumped him off thepole . 

"Mark stuck his head in the window and 

said,'how is it to have second-best sluff", 

said Musgrave with a smilc . "Ard he ataned 

laughing, because I tell you ; Mark and I had 

identical stuff . I'm using his Ect-up . 

"Even at Rockingharn, we had identical actups 

;" added Musgrave . "He just got around 

beucrlhan I did . (At Rockingham, Martin 

was second fastesl, while Musgrave was 

fdth) He's got a new car (at Richmond), and 

he's working out the bugs . I expect him lo be 

really fast in the raca" 

"To tell you ft trmh, I Ihoughl I messed up 

in one and two, butlhe way thc car's been 

handling and coming off the comer, it's got e 

ton of torque," Musgrave pointed out . 

"Jack's gm a great motor in Ihae." 

Martin said he was surprised he ran as well 

as he did after scrapping the wall during 

practice . "After what I did in practice, I was 

afraid I wouldn't make the top 20," he noted . 

"I didn't hurt the car, but I boogercd it up, 

and it's an awful nice car." 

After Musgrave pushcd him back to the No . 

2 spot, Martin said, "if you're going to gm 

beat, I guess Otel's best . It's casicr to get beal 

by the tcam car than it is some of the oNCrs" 

Manin, who has predicted IhatMusgrave 

will win a race this year, said he lold the 

Musgrave crew aftcr Rackingham, "you guys 

dmi t know what you'rc in for ycl, do you?" 

Thcse guys are going lo be greal. They're 

going to have a great year. When they can go

For Musgrave, Manin, Bown and the rest

But for Ricky Rudd, Ward Burton, Greg 

Sacks, Derrike Cope, Bobby Hamilton and 

Bobby Hillin, the second day of dme trials 

was extremely difficult on their nerves . 

Yet they could smilc et the end of the day . 

That was not the case for Wally Dallenbach,

Winston Cup Qualifying 

Rudd, who decided to stand on his time, 

said, "I've sat and watched those guys at 

Indianapolis watch the bubble and bump process, 

and 'to me, this was every bit as important 

What was strange way that Wally decided 

to requalify-he was ahead of me (32 and 

33 after the first day of time trials) - and he 

went slower. That put us in the race." 

Rudd ended up 34th in qualifying to fill the 

last regular spot in the field . 

"I don't like this," admitted Rudd . "If it's 

gojng to be like this every week, this team is 

for sale . I can't take much of this . The thing 

is, this is a good race car, capable of winning . 

It's got an outside chance to win the race, but 

it just barely made the race ." 

Greg Sacks, driving for another new team, 

led the second day of qualifying as he ran 

122 .034 mph . 

,"We didn't have a provisional," noted 

Sacks . "Actually, the three-tire rule played 

into what we did today. We only used two 

sets yesterday and saved one for today, just 

for an emergency like this ." 

Burton, who failed to make the race in the 

first two races of the year, said, "it almost 

feels as good as winning that last race (Busch 

Grand National) at Atlanta considering what 

we've been through : " 

Burton, like Sacks, used a set of sticker 

Hoosier tires for his run . Burton improved his 

time by only five one-handredths of a sec- 

ond, but it was enough to go from 37th to 

25th. 

"That shows you just how close this field 

was," said Burton . 

Rudd's best lap was 22 .239 seconds . 

Musgrave's time was 21 .867 seconds . 

Between positions 17 and 34, only one tenth 

of a second separated this group . 


(contlnued from page 11) 

Bobby Hamilton and Bobby Hillin eam,^,d 

the two provisional positions as they edged 

out Dallenbach and Allen . 

For Hillin, who drives the locally-sponsored 

Heilig-Meyers Thunderbird owned by 

Richmond native Junie Donlavey, it was the 

narrowest of margins that got him in the 

field . 

In the 1993 car owner points, Donlavey was 

30th, Richard Petty, owner of Dallenbach's 

Pontiac, was 31st and TriStar Motorsports, 

owner of Allen's Thunderbird, was 32nd . 

"With this being Junie's home track and 

Heilig-Meyers' home track, this was really a 

nervous day," said Hillin. "This is a good car, 

but the fields are just so close that if you are 

just a tick off, you might miss the field" 

Terry Labonte, the' 1984 Winston Cup 

champion, will start last (37th) after using his 

Winston Cup provisional spot. 

Petty was quite upset with the turn of 

events. He tried to convince NASCAR into 

making it a 38 or 40-car field . But the goveming 

body said the entry blank stated the 

rules for the Richmond race and Petty was 

just one of the unlucky ones to not earn a 

spot in the field . . 

"This is like the NFL telling the 

Washington Redskins they can't play a game 

because they had a bad year," said a very 

upset Petty. "They need to take care of family 

. It's not like we have a bad car. This is a 

good car and a good team ." 

Marcis was another irate driver-owner. 

"Don't say this field is limited to 36 or 37 

because that's all the pit stalls there are," he 

noted . "I'll pit downtown or in the tunnel, if I 

have to . I just want to be in the race ." 

This same scenario is expected at the other 

short tracks as they, too, are limited to 34-car 

fields with two provisional spots - and the 

Winston Cup champion position if needed.

Allison, Bonnett Spirits With Irvan A t Richmond 

BY JACK F LOWERS 

Richmond, Ya . ; The spirits 

of Davey Allison and Neil 

Bennett ride on with Ernie 

Irvan and the No. 28 Yales/ 

Texaco Havoline Ford 

Thunderbird . 

They were ever present 

here hlarch 6 when frvan won 

the Pontiac Excitement 400 

NASCAR Winston Cup stock 

car race here over the 

0 .750-mile Richmond International 

Raceway . 

When Davey Allison of 

Hueytown, Ala ., won this 

same race here a year ago 

with the same team for which Irvan of Concord, N 

.C., was 

driving for, it was the last 

Winston Cup race Allison 

would win before he died Ju . 

ly 13 of injuries received in a 

July ]z helicopter crash at 

Talladega (Ala .) Superspeedw'ay 

. While this was not the 

same car in which Allison 

won in here in 1993, team crew 

chief I .vey McNeynolds said 

Ihat car was on the team's 

hauler as the "backup car for 

lhis race" 

'lpanl owner RnbCrt Yates 

concurred with McReynolds . 

"This is 10;'said Yales. "and 

we ran the 12 here last year, 

. but it's a lot like that car. The 

12 is on the truck as a bavkup . 

They're real close" 

"Somethblg that is ironic, 

though :" said Mcfieynolds, 

after Irvan had finished 1 .7 

seconds ahead of Rusty 

Wallace ofrC oncord, N C., in 

lhe Penske~Miller Genuine 

DraflThun erbird,"lhefirst 

person to turn the wheel on 

the car that Ernie drove when 

it was brand-new last year 

was Neil Bonnetl . When 

Davey got hurt at Charlotte 

(N.C, Motor Speedway, The 

Winston) and was too sore to 

practice the next day, Neil 

drove the car in practice for 

us, but he never qualified il ." 

Bonnelt, a close Allison 

friend, died in a practice 

crash last month at Daytona 

(Beach, Fla .) International 

Speedway, prior to the 

seasonapening Daytona 500 . 

As dominant as Wallace 

was in winning the GM Goodwrench 

500 just the previous 

week at the North Carolina 

Motor Speedway in Rock- . 

ingham N.C ., where Irvan 

had finished fifth, Irvan was 

just as strong in the season's 

third of 31 races, leading six 

times for 189 of the race's 400 

laps. 

"Our car was stout ell day ;" 

said Irvan, winning for the 

IOth time in his career, three 

of which have come in the 12 

races he's been wilh,lhe 

Robert Yates-owned, Charlotte-based 

team since replacing 

Allison . "Bul we sorl of 

won the race in the pits . Itusty's 

crew is great, but our 

guys stood up to the challenge 

today" 

Jeff Gordon uf Cornelius, 

N .C., finished third in the Hendrick

Snickers Chevrolet Lumina, 

followed by Dale Earnhardt 

of Doolie,N .C., seeking his 

seventh Winston Cup championship

total of 101aps . After that, it 

was the Irvan-Wallace show . 

Irvan knew he had the winning 

car for this race, even 

though he couldn't convince 

his wife. Kim, and even 

though he'd been told he 

couldn't drive this track . /i,s 

-JUEy Mamn Pnau 

best previous finish here was 

fourth In the September 1991 

Miller Genuine Draft 400 . 

"We had the winning car;" 

said Irvan . "Short-tracks 

have been my .downfall and 

I've been told I couldn't drive Richmond 

. Larry (McReynolds) 

said that today we 

were going to show 'em that 

wasn't truee and it worked out, 

We did. 

"Even m9 wife, Kim, didn't 

think I could win here I to1C 

her she was going to miss go 

ing to victory lane. But she 

stayed home tin Concordl ." 

With the spirits of Davey 

Allison and Neil Bonnett 

riding with him, there was 

hardly any way Ernie Irvan 

could lose the Pontiac Exeitement

afternoon.

History repeats as Spurlock is runner-up 

for second time in as many Gatornationals 

by Steve Waldron 

H istory sometimes has a funny way 

of repealing itself . In 1990, K.C . 

Spurlock won the season-opening 

Winternationals in his Funny Car debut, 

then runner-upped at the Gatornationals 

three races later . 

This year, Spurlock, who returned to 

competition In February after a mree-year 

layoff, again opened the season with a 

Winternationals win and three races later 

found himself in the final at the Mac Tools 

Galornalionals. Unlodunately for the 32year-oltl 

driver from Nashville, Tenn ., waiting 

1or him in the final was three-time Winston 

Champ John Force . 

Force, looking lor his third straight 

Getornalionals win, has a way of bringing 

out the best in an opponent, and Spurlock 

admittedly was pumped up tor their final- 

- round confrontation . Maybe a little too 

pumped up . 

Spurlock handed Force the victory with a 

heartbreaking .396 red-light, which relegated 

him to runner-up status for the second 

time in his only two Getornationals 

appearances . 

'I didn't go in deep ; I did my normal 

deal,' said Spurlock . 'I guess there's just 

no accounting for adrenaline flow . You 

can9 give John anything, and unfortunately 

lor us I gave It away at the staaing line . 

Nobody texls worse about It than I do, but 

Ihat's just the way it goes. We've got a 

last race car and a great crew, and we're 

capable of winning races and the Championship. 

We've just got to put It behind us 

and win the next one .' 

Though it was of little consolation, Spurlock's 

red-light probably didn't matter . The 

rear end in his Fruit of the Loom 

Activewear Daytona broke at about the 

1,000-lool mark, which slowed him to a 

6 .37 at only 149 mph . 

"Parts of Ihe rear end tore the parachutes 

olf the car, end thal made 8 pretty 

interesting when I was trying to slop,` sold 

Spurlock . 'Thenktully, we have a long 

shutdown area here, and I was able to get 

It stopped . But Ihat's just pad of It . I try to 

do my best for my guys, and they try to do 1, . 

their best tor me . Nobody can say we're " 

not trying hard ; itJust wasn't our day.' 

It was Force's day, however . Though he 

has yet to dominate a race in the way he 

did most of last year, winning a recordtying 

11 races, Force has shown that he's 

still the man to beat . 

With his victory, Force now has won two 

of this year's tour races, end it appears 

that crew chiefs Austin Coll and Bernie 

Fedderly are beginning to get Force's 

flaming Castrol GTX Lumina dialed In . 

After a first-round loss at the Winternationals, 

where he qualified 151h with a 

best of 5.33, Force has run quicker at 

every race. He qualified seventh and ran 

a 5.14 best en route to a win at the Ford 

Quality Care Nationals, then qualified third 

with a 5 .06 at the Slick 50 Nationals, 

where a questioneble second-round redlight 

ended his day. 

There were a lot of questions about that 

red-light,' said Force, whose loul start tour runs [in Houston] on Monday just to 

negated what would have been a winning get my head right .' 

5 .23 . 'You don't know what to believe; In Galnesvllle, Fume qualified second 

some6mes it just happens . The best thing (5.069) behind Kenji Okazaki (5.063), then 

Is to get right back In the seal. We made recorded a 5 .10 in round one to defeat

Spurlock's Ronme Swearingen-tunetl

The tinal figuretl to be a good one . 

'We ran the .06 [Saturday) night, and

and spun the tires . That's when she 

started spitting tire and sluff, then he 

dropped off ; I didn't know why . We lett a 

motor behind, but so what' 

Force nearly crossed the centerline in 

the last several hundred feet of the course 

but managed to keep the car in his lane . 

Had he crossed the centedine . he would 

have been disqualified and Spurlock, 

despite his foul start, would have been

luck Is a major player . It might have 

been a different ball game [in the linalJ It 

[Spurlock) hadn't red-lighted . He might 

have trucked down through there and 

beat me, but that's the way it goes . I 

count on one ot those, especially when 

she's on fire. When she noses over, how 

you gonna win?" 

With his 341h career NHRA nationalevent 

win, Force moved into the Winston 

points lead for the first time this year, but 

he's not ready to begin worrying about 

the poinis yet. 

'I've learned to let tt go,' said Force . 'I 

don't want to count points anymore . I 

just drive my race car and let her do what 

she does, 11 she dances, she dances ; It 

she doesn't, she doesn't . At the end of 

the deal is all that matters . I had a 

1,700-pointleatl in Sonoma three years 

ago, and out of nowhere comes the 

McDonald's kid and jusl whips on me, so 

I don't get that in my head . I ain't going 

to think about the points 'cause it'II make 

you nuts, and I'm already nuts .' 

Spurlock, on the other hantl, is second 

In the points . In 1990, he led the points 

after his Gatornationals runner-up ; Force 

was sixth . But we all know how that 

turned out. Spurlock hopes this year will 

be different . 

'My arms will be sore from steering,' 'I think we have much better organizesaid

Smokin Joe's Team Takes Advantage Of Valuable Practice Time 

WINSTON-SALEM, N .C. - The 

Smokin' Joe's Racing Team scheduled a 

p'"~~test sessions prior to the upcoming 

Food City 500 at Bristol International 

Raceway . 

Last week, the No. 23 Ford Thunderbird 

graced the track at Bristol, and this past 

week, the team was to have had a session 

at North Wilkesboro, N.C 

. Team owner Travis Carter said the 

sessions were necessary to get setups for 

both race tracks . 

"The fields are smaller at the shorter 

tracks, and that makes it imperative that we 

be at our bcst for qualifying," Carter said . 

The test sessions were the third and the . 

fourth of the season for the Smokin' Joe's 

team . Each team is allowed seven during 

the season . 

"This will leave us with three more test 

sessions . And obviously, one of those will 

be at Indianapolis," said Carter . The 

NASCAR Winston Cup Series Brickyard 

400 will be held at the indianapolis (Ind 

. 6 

.)Motor Speedway on Aug 

. Team driver Hut Stricklin drove the car 

to a 17th-place finish two weeks ago at 

Darlington in the TranSouth 400. It was 

the second race in a row where the Calera, 

Ala. driver has finished in 17th. The result 

has put him in 32nd position in the 

W inston Cup points standings . 

Stricklin also jumped iato the 29th 

position of the FasTrack Top 40 Winston 

Cup poll after a dismal showing in the 

initialpWl 

. The best news of the Darlington weekend 

came on Friday when Stricklin qualified 

the car 15th overall : He was one of 23 

drivers who eclipsed the old qualifying 

mark at the track. Prior to that, Stricklin 

had not scratched the top 20 qualifier list in 

three earlier reces . . . 

"We qualified a lot better this time," 

Caters said after Stricklin's Darlington 

qualifying effort. "We didn't have any 

problems at all with the handling: And we 

also had the tire pressure right, too . We 

needed that. You don't want to sweat out 

second-day qualifying very often if you 


can help it." , ~ ' 

. The handling problems waited until 

Sunday's race to crqpup. Right out of the 

blocks, Stricklin told Carler the car was too 

tight. 

Carter and crew chief Pete Wright called 

for a spring stiffener on one of the early pit 

stops and Stricklin lost a lot of track 

position because of!the length of the stop. 

The stiffener di6 not work, so thatt 

compounded the team's p_roblems. . . .

"It helped for a few laps, but it got the car 

off-balance a little bit,"Carter said. "7tte 

front tires began to wear out more quickly 

than the rear t'ves ." 

-Because of their experience with the car 

at Darlington . Carter and Wright both 

agree that the set-ryt needs changing. 

"We've got to run a little looser- than 

we've been doing," Carter said . "Our car is 

not gatiag k)se. Everybody else might be 

getting loose, but we're pushing off the 

11 

comets " 

In preparing for this weekend's race at 

Bristol, Carter said he expects qualifying 

records to fall at Bristol just as they did at 

Darlington . 

."It's going to be :fast . From what I 

understand, people that have tested are 

"tluee-tenths (of a second per lap) under the 

track record. It's so fast it's scary . It's like 

seeing how much you can stretch a rubber 

band ."

T Hiti POINT HAS BEEN 

raised before, but now, in 

the face of mounting 

evidence it has played a 

significant role in the 

drama that is the 1994 NASCAR 

Winston Cup season, it needs to 

be made again . 

Never in the course of recent 

Winston Cup history has the act 

of qualifying for a race taken on 

such importance. As you know, 

this is due to the increased 

number of teams which have 

committed to a full schedule in 

'94 . We expected to see time 

trials become more interesting 

and it took only three races for 

our expectations to be met . 

For example, at Richmond, 

Va ., for the March 6 Pontiac 

Excitement 400, qualifying was a 

nail•biting event unto itself. In 

fact, it is quite possible 

competitors never before paid so 

S T E V E W A I D' S C O M M E N T A R Y

provisionals, one for car owner 

points accrued In 1993 and one 

for being a defending Winston 

Cup champion . Smart . 

One team, concerned over the 

number of requalifying teams 

equipped wjth new tires, decided 

to make another run despite the 

fact It had posted a fust-round 

speed that would have 

comfortably put icin the field: Asa

4 WCS 0 March 1 7, 1994 


team falls to make a race on an 

R J . Reynolds Tobacco Co: 

sponsored circuit? That's heavy, i 

dude . 

The consensus is other 

prominent names are going to be 

involved in all of this in the future, 

at least until the number of teams 

participating on the full schedule 

drops as economics takes its toll . 

No doubt some competitors 

feel what qualifying has become is 

an aggravation and perhaps even a 

threat to economic survival . Some 

are campaigning for changes . 

But in fact what has transpired, - 

is an increased level of 

competitiveness in Winston Cup /~ 

racing, one that ttanscends a race :~ 

itself . 

It has made qualifying a real 

part of a racing weekend and not { 

some formality which needs ~ 

gimmickry and media hype to 

draw attendance . Teams now 

know the road to competitiveness ` 

starts with intense preparation foY 

time trials, because the once 

simple act of making a field is 

simple no more - at least for now, 

while we have an abundance of 

calls. 

Failure to be prepared will lead 

to another road - the one leaving ` 

the race track . 

Simply, put, Winston Cup 

racing's level of competition has 

reached a new high . Those who 

advocate expanding the sizes of 

fields may get their wish - 

hopefully not - but if so, it will be 

lost. And that win be very 

unfortunate,indeed .

mandatory new car half-pass down the track . 

By Wednesday, however, the car was still 

being assembled and he hadn't even sat in 

it, let alone tested . "But I work best under 

pressure," Bonin said, "and I did this same 

thing last yearwith Roland . Head has already 

tested his updated'93 car in Houston, so he's 

in much better shape than we are right now ." 

Once the new Smokin' Joe's's Funny 

Car arrived at the track it went to earlymorning 

tech . But it didn't pass ; the new 

Mustang body was a halfinch too wide in 

the front . "It's an interpretation of the NHRA 

rules ;'said Bonin, who once held an NHRA 

marketing position . "It was built to spec, 

but just didn't pass. They have to fix the 

chassis, and tuck in the body that halfinch 

." While Hughes, Todd Okahara and

other crewmembers swarmed over the 

chassis readying it for a warm-up in the 

pits, McKinney rapidly worked on the body 

with a torch and welder . Once narrowed, 

the car was teched in the pits, and Bonin 

finally received his credentials and run card . 

Friday was rain-delayed until well into the 

afternoon . After one fast warmup to check 

the new Steve Sanchez heads and other 

tridcsthat Hughes had on Bonin's Mustang, 

he and Head went out for their maiden runs . 

In hisfirst venture down the Pomona quartermile 

since 1989, Bonin's half-pass earned 

him first alternate ; Head was 16th in the 16car 

field . On Friday, going back to its '93 

baseline, Head's team missed an adjustment 

and ran 5 .04/279 mph, still 16th . With 

most of his competitors running in the fours, 

the pressure was on . 

Bonin did not fare well . While backing up 

after his burnout his motor lost oil pressure ; 

the gauge dropped to zero . A quick pit 

inspection indicated a faulty baffle in one of 

the oil tanks . 

Head's final Friday night run under portable 

lights was another test . "That's the first time 

I've run at Pomona at night and it sure was 

dark out there ; it definitely got my attentionl" 

Despite the cool dampness he ran 4 .93. On 

Saturday Head thundered to a 4 .88 on his 

final qualifying pass, putting him safely in 

the field at 13th . 

Bonin was not as lucky . Listed as second 

alternate with a respectable "new car" mark 

of 5.22/261 in his untested Ford Mustang, 

he sat out the weekend, the victim of an 

oversight . "We never really got a chance to 

compete," said Hughes . "We discovered 

that the fuel tank that was made for the car 

was too small ; it only held 15 gallons of fuel 

and we need 22 to complete a run . Gordie 

would step on the throttle and run out of fuel ; 

lucky it didn't blow the body off ." 

"We tried to slip the clutch and play all 

kinds of games just to make it in the show, 

but even if we did get in we wouldn't have 

been able to race . We had an extra tank 

here, but it was the smaller size too, so that 

did us no good. If we'd had a chance to make 

one squirt in testing before coming here we 

could have discovered the error, but even 

with all ourthrashing therejust wasn't enough 

time . We haven't even been able to establish 

a baseline on the car yet ." 

In Jim Head's camp, the picture was 

brighter . Sunday's race dawned clear and 

sunny. The fastest Top Fuel field in NHRA 

history-with atl 16 competitors qualified in 

the fours-was eager to campaign for the 

event title. During first-round eliminations 

Head beat #4 qualifier Scott Kalitta off the 

starting line (RTs 0 .480 to 0.495) and won 

the race when both cars ran 4 .892 . In round 

two he overpowered the track and bowed 

to eventual runner-up Rance McDaniel . 

Afterwards, Dave Leahy summed up the 

weekend : "We got off to a slow start here 

because we have a lot of new parts . We had 

gone to Houston to test, but coukint esteblish 

our baseline there because of the extreme 

cokj . Between rounds, we stepped the car 

up a little because McDaniel had run a 4 .81 

in the prior round ; apparently we went just 

a little too far . We've .been running on 

overcast days, and today the sun was out 

and the track wasn't quite as good ; that bit 

us a little. This unpredictable weather makes 

it tough on tuning . 

"But overall, we and Jim are pleased 

with the performance of the car . It was 

easy on all the pieces, and now we can 

work from Jim's book of last season, only 

with nicer parts." 

Plans were made to test at Bakersfield 

but that soon changeO. "Leonard corrected 

so many things that now we're going right 

to Phoenix (NHRA's second big race of the 

season)," said Bonin the following week . 

"Overall our big picture is really good," he 

added . "Despite never having been in it 

before, my car felt good . I'm just looking 

forward to the next race, because this 

Mustang is going to be spectacular once we 

get the bugs worked out. We expect to make 

some great progress at Phoenix ." 

Candies was also optimistic . "We worked 

out some of our gremlins here at Pomona 

so next race out we expect to qualify in the 

middle of the field . The more rounds we run, 

the better this team is going to be . I feel that, 

despite the delays, this team got off to a 

pretty solid start for being so new ." 

Turning out new teams on short notice is 

never an easy job, but with their optimism, 

the Smokin' Joe's team feels that they'll soon 

be smoking down the quarter-mile . ∎

Courbr 

Miss Budweiser wins 

Thunder on the Ohio Nanday D a,aaDr' 

ByBOBDEMAREE 

ceurkrserch FNror 

Chip Hanaua has achieved a 

lot of victories in his career . 

He, in fact, ranks as the second 

winningest driver in unlimited 

hydroplane history with 

51 victories. The only driver to 

. have achieved more wins wus 

the late Bill Murcey, who had 

62 victories. ' 

The wins always feel good to 

Hanauer but his win at yeataday's 

Thunder on the Ohio race 

at Evansville was meant a little 

more than the other victories . 

"Hds one was special," 

Hanauer said . 

He had fractured four lumbar 

vertebrae in his ]owa back at 

the Gold Cup in kktroit and 

missed that raa and the Texas 

Hydrofesl on Lake Lewisville 

nearl>allas. r 

Hanauer was very discouraged 

. "1 was so low," he 

said . "It's the lowest I've ever 

gotten." 

He even had thoughts of 

whether to continue racing because 

the injury did not seem to 

be getting better. "At one point I 

wondered if I wanted to race 

anymore ." he said . "I wondered 

if it was wonh i4" 

But Hanauer got a]ol of encouragement 

from the Miss 

Budweiser boat crew, crew chief 

Ron Brown and owner Bemie 

Little . "They kept calling me 

and encouraging me, and talking 

to me," and that helped him to 

get through it.'Por them to have 

that much confidence in me is 

what brought me back" 

The win couldn't have been 

any more perfect for Hanauer . 

He raced in four heats and won 

a8 four of them. 

"It's such a great piece of 

equipment. It was a total win," 

'Htruuer said . "1 wwas happy with 

what dsvas able to do as a driver 

and the crew gave me a great 

piece of equipmenl." 

Miss Budweiser owner Bernie 

Little was very pleased with 

Hanaua's performance. "Chip's 

back is back," he said . 

He had high praise for Miss 

Madison driver Mike Hanson, 

who BIkA in for Hanaua during 

the two races that he was unable 

to compete . Hanson piloted Miss 

Budweiser to victory at the 

Texas Hydrofest. "Chip was 

worried about taking the boat 

back after Mike had won four 

heats" at that race, but "he 

wasn't infringing on Mike. Mike 

had always ssid it was Chip's 

ride" and he'd give it up when- 

ever . Hanauer was ready m 

return. "fliem is not a bata 

sportsman than Mike," he said . 

Hanson will be driving Miss Madison in next Sunday's Indiana 

Governor's Cup. The community-owned 

hydroplane 

hasn't competed in any tacea yet 

this season but will be racing in 

the Madison RLgatts due to a 

fund-raising effort that provided 

the monks necessary to compete 

. The hydroplane will reportedly 

be rncing as Powerball 

Miss Madison due to a 520,000 

contribution to Miss Madison . 

There is expected to be an announcemenl 

later this week . 

The final heat was re-surted 

after The Tuie flipped tud landed 

upside down in the first turn 

of the 2•mile Ohio River oval 

course in the initial running of 

the final . Driver Nate Brown 

wasn't hurt and returned to the 

pits to talk to reporters about the 

incident. .

"Un formnately, Steve 

moved 

over into my lane and my boat 

got caught in the roosta tail 

(wake), then up she went and 

back over and down she came ; ' 

said Brown 

With The Tide and Miss T- 

Plus out of the mce, only 

Smokin' Joe's driven by Mark 

Tate remained among the five 

boats as a credible challenger to 

Miss Bud in the restarted race . 

Miss Budweiser and Smokin' 

Joe's ran next to each other for 

the first two laps but by the end 

of the third lap, Hanauer led 

Tate by nearly a full turn and 

was pulling away . 

"I just kept picking up a Btde 

more" said Hanauer, who won 

lhe race with an average speed 

~ of 143 .560 mph. Smokin' Joe's 

was second at 134.185 mph. 

Tate said he felt his boat was 

good enough to compete against 

Miss Budweiser but "we had a 

visibility problem in the final . 

There was water spraying in our 

cockpit. The moisture was forming 

water lines on the inside of 

the cockpit and I couldn't see 

very well ." 

He said the,wata got inm the 

boar when he caught the tail 

spray of the Miss Budweiser by 

the skid fin, something that 

Smokin' Joe's race team . "Thm 

didn't lose us the rece but when 

I couldn't see as well I backed 

off a little and he got away from 

Mark Evans dropped Miss 

Exide out of the restarted fide 

race in the first lap a propeller 

broke which caused the engine 

to catch fire. The only pistonengine 

boat in the field 

dominated by turbines, she 

Cooper's Express driven by 

Mitch Evans, finished nearly a 

lap behind Hanauer . 

The finish was the best-ever 

for Cooper's Express at 

Evansville . "That's gratifying 

but we should have been 

fourlh;" said Ed Cooper Jr ., 

owner of the boxt'"Ibe boat ran 

good a8 day and we were 

pleased with that ." 

Buehler's Buy-Low, driven by 

lack Barrie, was third with an 

average speed of 120.040 mph 

while Cooper's Express was 

founh at 111 .620 mph. 

e 

Heat 1-A : Smokin' 1ce's and 

Miss T-Plus Engine Treatment 

ran a close iap for three laps, but 

Tate nosed out David for the victory. 

Smokin' Joe's had an aver- 

T-Plus had a speed of 143 .181 

mph. The Tide was third and 

Cooper's Express was fourth 

Heat I-B : The race had four 

boats in it, but .pply two finished 

the heat. Mark Evans in Miss 

Exide didn't finish the heal and 

Dave Villock in Pico's American 

Dream wasn't able to stan, The race was dominated by Miss 

Budweiser, which coasted to a 

138 .825 mph, well ahead of second 

place Buehler's Buy-Low at 

124 .389 mph, 

Heat 2-A: Hanauer in Miss 

Budweiser again pulled away 

from the field and won in 

146 .451 mph although David in 

Miss T-Plus gave him a better 

challenge than he got in Heat 1- 

B- T-Plus had an average speed 

of 139.842 mph . Cooper's Express 

was third while Pico's 

American Dteum did not finish . 

Owner Fred I.aland withdrew 

American after that heat because 

a"gas pedal linkage broke" and 

needed to be welded together, 

something they didn't have time 

to do. 

Heat 2-B : Smokin' Jce's and 

The Tide ran a close race for 

most of the three laps, but Tete 

pulled away and ended up winning 

. 

146 .889 mph while Brown was 

second in The Tide in 144 .555 

mph . Miss Exide was third 

while Miss Buehler's Buy-Low 

was unable to start because of a 

battery that wandead 

Heat 3-A 

: Miss Budweiser and Miss T-Plus banled in a 

close race for two laps but 

Hanauer pullcd away to win . 

Hanauer had an average speed 

of .150.867 mph while David 

was sccond in 146.331 mph. 

Miss Budweiser was given a5300 fine for hitting a buoy after 

the heatwas completed. 

Buehler's Buy-Low was third, 

Heat 3-B: There was a dght 

race belween The Tide and Miss 

Exide for nearly the whole race 

but Brown pulled out the win at 

146.055 mph. Evans was second 

at 144 .132 while Tate in 

Smokin' Joe's wasn't far behtnd at 138 

.177. Cooper's was fourth 

at 117.435 mph . 

All of the boats are scheduled 

to come to Madison if repairs 

are able to be made on The Tide . 

The field for the Indiana Governer's 

Cup will includeal Ieast 

nine boats with the addition of 

Miss Madison . 

Qualifying for the Madison 

Regaoa will be Friday and Sa- 

. 

needs to be corrected by the age speed of 145 .875 mph while 

Smo 'rt' Jce's won the race in lurday with mcing Sunday. ~

F actory involvement in NASCAR's 

premier racing series began a 

quarter of a century ago with )he 

debut of the streamlined Ford Torino 

Talladega and the long-nosed and 

mega-winged Dodge Daytona. Raa 

ing hasn [ been the same since . 

The'69 Dodge Charger Daytona 

(and its sister, the similar 70 PIymouth 

Superbird) will always hold a 

special place in the hearts of race fans ; 

their outrageous noses and rear wings 

were the most vivid expressions of 

car-manufacturer involvement with . 

racing ever. The factory NASCAR 

wars had been going on through most 

of the'60s, with Ford and Chrysler 

shoveling in wheelbarrows of cash in a 

quest for corporate bragging rights in 

Detroit, and in new-car showrooms 

around the country. The result was 

engines like Chrysler s 426 Hemi and 

Ford's single overhead-cam 427 . By 

the late'60s 

. everyone was making plenty of power, and more speed lie in 

betteraerodvnamia . 

Ford'sTalladega (and the Mercury 

Cyclone Spoiler) used an extended 

nose to smooth airnow over the fast- . 

back Torino body . Dodge responded, 

at frnt, with the "Charger 300," which 

put a flush grille and flat rear window 

on the'69 Charger body. But with the 

Telladega"superduperspeedway"set 

to debut and even higher speeds, 

Dodge real ly upped the ante with the 

Charger Daytona . 


. , . . 

∎ REMEMBERING WINGS UsingthebasiesheHofther7harger 

500, the Daytona added a pointy nose 

to slice through the wind and that big 

wing to glue the car to the ground . . 

Chrysler only made enough street 

Daytonas (about 1000) to keep 

NASCAR happy, and the car was an 

amazingsuccess in racing . Bobby . 

Isaacin the #71 K&K Insurance Day- , 

tona won scads of races and easily 

took the 1970 Grand Nationalcharnpiotnhip 

in one . In 1970, Chrysler's 

Plymouth division followed Dodge's 

exampie and produced a long-nose, 

high-wing venion of its Road Runner 

called the Superbird . Like the Daytona; 

theSuperbird was an instant - 

winner, with Pete Hamilton driving 

the M4l1.Petty F,nterprisea Superbird 

to viaory in the 1970 Daytona 500 . 

The years 1969 and 1970 were the 

pinnacle of factory involvement with 

NASCAR, and when all factory sup- 

. pon (except Petty) was withdrawn in 

1971, the future looked grim . Howev. 

. er,1971 was also the year Winston came aboard, and with the factories gone NASCAR was firmly in control 

of racing. Under NASCAR's strict 

tutelage, Grand National became 

Winston Cup and Winston Cup bee 

eame one of the world's most effective 

marketing programs for consumer 

goods . Thc Daytona and 

Superbird were state-of-theart in 

1970 ; in 1994 state-oFlhe-art Is the

. Bemie Little, owner of Miss 

Budweiscr. was getting a little 

nervous as he watched the final 

' heat of Sunday's Indiana Governor'sCuprace 

. "We had Trde ready to gobble us 

. up on one side .and Smokin' Joe's 

. on the oNer side. Just one mistake 

and anything can happen :'" said Litde. 

' 

~ But in dte end it was Miss Bud 

I weiser that prevailed again . 

Th e win was the third in a row 

for Mis Budweiser this season. 

The win was also the third con- 

secutive e for Mivs Budweiser at the 

IndianaGovemor'sCup. - 

The win also made MissBud- 

weiser driver Chip Hanauer only 

the second driver in the history of 

unlimited hydroplane racing to win 

'the Indiana Govenra's Cup me 

j three con:ecufive years. Bill Muny 

t cey also achieved that feat in 1960, 

1, 1961 and 1962. 

llanauerseems to drive in Mad- 

n ison like he owns the city. 

"If I could own a town I'd like to 

own this one. This is a great place 

. and a nice place to compete," he 

said . 

i The excitement of winning 

remains the sam .e, no mattv how and Bud had gone 145 .058 .
