1997 Interstate Batteries 500 - Benson/Nemechek Crash

[C0LL1N]

Johnny Benson drove the 30 car in 96 and 97 from what i can remember, possibly earlier, but he went to the 26 cheerios ford in 1998 I believe but this is just from my memory so I could be wrong

I'm glad they walked away good. that was a scary head on crash.

Wait, what happened to Chad? It didnt show, his car was all torn up.

[cwitt678]

I thought Chad Little was in it. Not Lake Speed.

@jrfan07 Actually in 1995 was the last year mikey drove the 30, he ran the 21 from 96-99, than in 2000 he moved to the 7 car.

Come on guys, Waltrip left the 30 after 1995 to go to the 21, and Benson took over for the 1996 season. Waltrip went to the 7 in 2000 then the 15 in 2001

[O5fan]

He went to the 7 in '99.

[gth804f]

Right. Good call.

[nascarstopmotionguy]

@jrfan07 no, he first drove the #7 car in 1999 replacing geoff bodine, before that he drove the wood brothers #21 citgo car

[FrodothePuppet]

Ridethelines, are you able to hang onto the car when it's loose? Loose can be very fast.

[JakeTV248]

Joe Nemechek = bad driver

[gadgefan48]

This was one ugly race

[iridethelines2nd]
