Damn....I never knew about this flip by Rusty ! I know about the 1993 Daytona 500 flip and the bad one at Talladega in 1993. I then found out he flipped at Bristol and almost died by chocking and Dr Jerry Punch got to him and saved him. Rusty has had some bad flips in his career..
@freshgeek89 If I remember right he DID win the Bud Shootout in 1998...but he never won a points-counting race at a plate track. Anyway, this was a few years before the plates...
I think Rusty had four big flips in his career...this one, one at Bristol in 1988 in practice and the two in '93 at Daytona and Talladega...The Bristol crash is the only one that didn't happen in the infield.
@wwetnaecw - Well, not that this really counts, but he won a Bud Shootout at Daytona. Not a points race.... but that is the extent of his plate wins. Bummer.....
Well, Rusty did win the Bud Shootout in 1998, but it's a non-point race, so, unfortunately, it doesn't count. But he got better at Daytona and Talladega later in his years. If he had still drove for another couple of years, he may have won a restrictor plater race.
This was 1983 - pe-restrictor plate days. Cars were hitting well over 200 mph in those days; Elliott qualified on the pole at Daytona in '85 at over 210 and at Talladega at over 212 mph. Rusty was just never very good - or lucky - at Daytona and Talladega.
Look how unkept that infield was. Grateful it wasn’t any worse
loved that old big ass daytona leaderboard
Wow I don't remember seeing this one. Seems strange that USA network was covering this.
I just wish there was better video of the Michigan flip.
The 2nd time Elliot flipped it was in the tri-oval on the last lap and he actually finished 22nd.

My right ear really enjoyed this
Rusty & Daytona's backstretch were never friends. Wild rides in 1983, 1993, and either 2003 or 2004.
He's the only driver to finish the race upside down in the air.
Did that Rusty Wallace ever amount to anything?
(Before a bunch of hate is directed my way, I'm being sarcastic)
is there audio or is my pc messed up?
Wasnt Slcik Johnson killed at talledega a few years later?
There wasnt any restiter plates in 1983

Sad to say that slick is one of many to have been killed at daytona ....

Yeah, that was Bruce Jacobi.
