Some old NASCAR trivia

[Frasson118]

My mistake. The Jarrett answer applies to question 4, not 3.

[Frasson118]

2) Ricky Rudd
3) Dale Jarrett
5) Piedmont Airlines. Ironically that was the same sponsor as Childress/Rudd

What is Bill Elliott's middle name?

William "Clyde" Elliott

[Frasson118]

As for the Sullivan deal..... No it wasn't the same year. The win came in, I believe 1985, while the inaugural Brickyard race was in 1994.

I've got two final trivia questions then I will call it a day.

What is Bill Elliott's middle name?

What was the late J.D. McDuffy's full name?

Answers to the last two questions

The crew chief that resigned halfway through the Bristol race was for Geoff Bodine.

The Indy driver that drove his first race at the first Brickyard 400 was Danny Sullivan. I believe that was his one and only Winston Cup race.If I remember right it was the same year that he did the 360 degree spin on the backstretch during the Indy 500 race and ended up winning. Not quite sure though.

Still waiting for the answer to the crew chief question...... I'll give you one a little bit easier.

What former Indianapolis 500 winner made his first Winston Cup start in the inaugural Brickyard 400?

[BVS40FL]

I remember that

Yes, that's what it was. And Cale would have won that race had he not lost a power steering line late in the race. I remember watching that race with my father. I was a HUGE Cale Yarborough fan!

Yes, and Cale was right in front of Bill when the line broke. I thought he blew the motor at the time . Didn't remember about the upside down number though.

Here's a question that's a little bit tougher.

Which driver's crew chief resigned midway through the 1997 Goody's 500 at Bristol?

[Jacque Debris]

That was Brett Bodine wasn't it?

Yes it was. I guess I'll have to make the questions a little harder.

[BigBlock98]

Yes, that's what it was. And Cale would have won that race had he not lost a power steering line late in the race. I remember watching that race with my father. I was a HUGE Cale Yarborough fan!

OK. Iv'e got one for you guys: In 1985, when Bill Elliott won the Winston Million in the Southern 500 at Darlington, NASCAR fined him for something. What did they fine him for? Anyone can Google an answer. Who really knows?

I believe he had the number 9 on his roof upside down didn't he?

That's an easy one and I'll leave it up to the rest of the folks on here to look it up...

Here's a bit more difficult question... Since 1911 only two drivers have stopped a perfectly good race car during the running of the Indianapolis 500, got out and assisted a driver involved in a crash... Who were they? Hint: one is still alive today, the other died in a late-1950s crash...
