I can't believe how much bounce those cars had in them

[@davidl.miller8168]

I think Dale had some real restraint on that one, Bodine seemed to come down on him a few times, that is a good way to get dumped. I miss this era of Nascar, today's product is just not the same.

Those were the days. Glad I still have many old video tapes. Sundays, hearing that Speedworld theme and Ned, Bob, & Benny ...

First year Dale in the black car with new sponsorship. Those chromium number "3s" were very expensive. This is the Bristol track I remember growing up.

This must’ve been back when Dale and Geoff had their feud

[@sammylacks4937]

That first time was definitely just a racing incident, Dale's tires prob a little worn and he slipped up rubbing Geoff a little. Those other taps were Dale tooting that chrome horn trying to rattle Bodines cage a bit. Just short track love.

As a kid in 1988, boy do I remember this race. Harry Gant had THE car that day even with a broken shock mount but Dave Marcis had fresh tires as a lapped car and wiped him out. I was crushed. Love Dave now but he was on my list for a few years. Ha!
