and that was Davey's first win

@battalionfan888 all it did for Jimmy is make him go back to running Dirt Modifieds at Orange County Fair Speedway in NY where he won the track championship I think in 96.

Putting restrictor plates on nascar cars is like making bullfighters where full armor body suits. TAKES THE SPORT OUT OF IT!
-
I think it was lap 22 to be exact
-
@battalionfan888 Horton hit the top of the wall and rolled down the outside grass banking, it slowed the momentum of the car. Craven would have flown straight out and over without any slowing. I don't know if he would have been killed, but it would have been brutal.

The HANS device had been around before Dale's death, just few, if any NASCAR drivers wanted to use them
-
@C0LL1N Before the Restrictor Plates, cars would exceed over 210MPH. The speed is was sent Allison flying into the protective fence. The RP goes over the carburetor to restrict airflow, thus creating less HP and the result is slowing the car down. If the RP were around back in the 80's this wreck would not have been that massive.

@battalionfan888 I don't know how Horton's car landed in his crash, but if Craven had hit the flat bit on the other side of the wall, or if he had tumbled down the banking, he would have been OK.
What would (or maybe could?) have done damage would have him landing beyond the other side of the banking without hitting anything. That's what probably did the damage in the 1961 Daytona Petty-Beauchamp crash.

What some people tend to neglect about Bobby's crash vs. Carl's crash is this. Carl hit the fence in nearly the exact same spot where Neil Bonnett hit back in 1993. If I'm not mistaken, didn't Neil's car get hit when he flipped?
Also, if it wasn't for Jimmy Horton's crash during the same race in 1993. The catch fencing that kept Craven's car inside the track in 1996. If it wasn't for Jimmy Horton's wreck, the crash that Craven had would have killed him.

Craven and Horton had the exact same crash, except Craven had a catch fence to stop him from going out like Horton did. You say if it wasnt for the Catch Fence Craven would have been killed? how so? it didnt kill Horton
