Not Ranked
I too was a huge fan and have some great memories. In 1992 "The King" was retiring and every track was holding events for his last race. Hooters was my sponsor at the time for drag racing and sent me to Atlanta to see the race. Alan Kulwicki drove for Hooters and won the race/points at that event that was also Richards TRUE last race.
I was in the infield as Kyle petty was crashed but returned to run the final laps with his Dad. Kyle was black flagged for not being able to run the minimum speed but refused to leave the track. I heard the radio chatter going back n forth as the Officials asked, urged, threatened and then gave up getting Kyle off the track as his Dad ran his very last laps in NASCAR. Kyle did get to run laps as the King finished his. Alan K. won the race and then did his famous Polish Victory lap. What a memory and just one of many that week. Now I give any comp. tickets away as I do not agree with the imports in Nascar.
