I never realized before, but there was no single file start with less than 10 laps to go back then? I have been watching since '87 I just didn't remember the 10 lap or less single file rule not existing.
@erasetoimprove This race caused NASCAR to make that rule because Rusty's wreck caused everybody to think double-file restarts were dangerous at the end of the race. Then NASCAR in its infinite wisdom today effectively brought that back with shootout-style restarts.
I wish we had HDTV back in these days.

@arenasnow To be fair to NASCAR tho, at least they're not putting lapped cars in the front of the field now.

Benny spoke of an idea that is was eventually a rule, in the last few laps the lead lap cars to the front, lap down cars to the back.

I don't think that there has ever been a car as demolished as this. Besides Bodine's truck crash

Yeah, lets see Kyle Busch or Carl Edwards do this if they were in this situation.

bad driving by earnhardt there. he spun out rusty in the tri oval. imagine if that was kyle busch everyone would flip out.

Not necessarly Earnhardt's fault. Its the last lap, racing is hard, and he probably caught a good draft.
I'm even saying this as a Rusty Wallace fan. I think it was even proven that Earnhardt didn't try to wreck Rusty at all with the concern he shows.

This is scary, they even interviewed Rusty in a hospital gown on the local news after the race.
