David Dona-who?

[Orangetree547]

@xoxksa David is a great road course/sports car driver. His father was the legendary Mark Donahue.

[Nascarboy426]

Is David Donohue related to Mark?

[machiiniiima]

@Nascarboy426 yes its his son

[brookstheump]

Ah nice to see a Busch Series race where there aren't so many damn cup drivers and busch-only teams that at that time were very good and were always near the front.

Dan actually broke his back in this race. I ran into Dan during some work I was doing (he owns rental property in the Daytona Beach area) and he said it was the worst hit he ever took in a race car. Dan is such a nice guy off the track.

[bradk12fan]

I didn't know that David ran some races in NASCAR, man that was a rough hit

[JakeTV370]

Jimmie Johnson's first NASCAR Top Division Race was here in this race.

[Montoya42Fan]

@JakeTV370 No, his very first race was in 1998 at ORP. This race was his first and only Nationwide Series win though, which is probably what you meant to say.

[JakeTV370]

@Montoya42Fan That's exactly what I meant. lol

[Spannerhead29]

@JakeTV370 Didn't Jimmie race in 2000?

[Xx75racer75xX]

@Spannerhead29 yes, in Busch. At 0:11 look at the ticker and it says: 92- Johnson

[BMB5150]

Forgot that Donohue drove some races in the Busch series.
