Tony Roper sustained fatal injuries earlier in this race, but as I recall the announcers never commented on his condition. It was a shock the next day when we found out he passed away.
There was also a huge crash really early in this race. I want to say like 15 trucks? If anyone has that video please upload!
I think that this is why no one remembers this crash. Honestly, after Tony Roper's crash, I remember changing the channel, b/c I didn't want to watch the rest of the race.

Cope's in the Shootout and he picked 9th. Best of luck to him. Hope this doesn't happen in the race.

Back when racing was for men and not boys. There were no safer barriers back then too. Does anyone know where I can find this exact race?

i thought that was Mike Cope cause it says on Jayski that mike cope drove the 86 for a while then scott riggs replaced him late in the season

I believe there was a big one in this race also where a truck got t-boned. That was a rare crash also.
Too bad the whole race wasn't capped to see more views of this crash, but I understand though because it was horrible night due to Tony's crash.

Derrike is so lucky the wall was there because that wall saved him from flipping the truck.
Seen this before was looking for this wreck but thanks anyway for sharing! Rare clip indeed.
