I remember being there with my father and Pete Harraka. I thought Richie was better then Waltrip but it was easy to see who had the experience in and out of the pits and in traffic on the banks. Richies Banjo car was so good. The 88 was probably one as well. Check out the SRO in the stands! Thanks for sharing.

The LMS 21 J W Hunt car won the 300 the year before.I think with D.A. At the wheel.
