man! the cars back then looked so cool! alot better than the crap they use now.... these were definately nascar's golden years, it was never better than it was in the 90's
Bill Elliot's crew chief Tim Brewer miscalculated the laps. If Elliot had led one more lap he and Alan would have been tied on points but Elliot would have won the championship because he had more victories. Tim Brewer, you are a tard.
However it went, it was awesome. I've been a fan since '86 and this is by far the best and greatest race I have ever watched. There was just so much in this race and so much drama. So glad I was able to be alive that day.
Best race I've ever seen was the August 1987 race at MIS. Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, Bill Elliott, Alan Kulwicki, Davey Allison, Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace and Buddy Baker all fighting for the lead with 30 laps to go. Nice mix of three Fords, two Pontiacs, a Buick, a Chevy and a Olds.
All seasons should end at Atlanta. Screw Homestead, it's too far away from my house. lol.

This is probably one of the greatest championship battles in the history of NASCAR, if not THE best.

This truly was the last great chase for a championship! Alan was such a class act in so many ways!

This season proves why determining a season long champion is alot better than the farce that is the Chase.

We'll never have a race like this again. Just some guy doing good in the last few races.

It wasn't just this race. 10 more points ANYWHERE in the 29 race season (at the time) would have clinched it for Bill.

I'm sure Kulwicki lost 10 points somewhere during the year, too. Be objective

Even if he had, he would have to have lost another 10 or Bill pick up 10 for Bill to get the Cup, or Bill lead one more lap at Atlanta.

Yeah. Too bad I wasn't a NASCAR fan back then. (Didn't get into it until 1997)

Smart driving by Alan, looking at the big picture.

@TyVulpine: The first really smart driver, he drove half the time and made calculations the other half...

When I first started watching NASCAR, Kulwicki was my favorite. Thanks so much for posting this, it brings back incredible memories. :D
