Arrington had to get going....every dollar mattered to hus shoestring operation. I recall rumors that he was the designated spin car for the Petty operation....he would cause a late yellow if Richard needed one and be rewarded on Monday with parts, which kept him going. No idea if this was true...
I always pulled for Buddy to have a good finish. One of a handful of independents still driving at that time. He didn't exercise good judgment in this case. But that was back when everybody raced back to the start/ finish line during a caution. Close to the end of the race, all concerned were racing for a good finishing position.
I feel sorry for Harry Gant and Morgan Shepard. Talk about getting caught up in somebody else's stupidty. "Get's up on the race track" and stops. Like pulling out in front of someone and then changing your mind.

Have to wonder if Arrington scrambled his marbles in the first hit because he was totally careless when returning to the track.
