Tommy Kendall holds the distinction of being the first American driver to ever finish the Bathurst 1000 race in Australia. In 1996 he raced for Dick Johnson (who drove some Winston Cup races in a #38 Ford Thunderbird in 1989-90) and teaming with Dick's son Steven, they finished 8th. Dick Johnson Racing is currently co-owned by Roger Penske. The list of Americans who'd tried and failed at Bathurst previously includes Johnny Rutherford, Janet Guthrie, Sam Posey, Dick Barbour, Rodney Combs, Bob Tullius and John Andretti. Only Scott Pruett who finished 11th in 1997 has joined Kendall as an American finisher in the event.
I would've been so mad at Tommy Kendall if I was watching that live back in the day. Lol. Huge Mark Martin fan. He almost won it in his Martinsville backup car!
Damn I miss Benny Parsons, a hugely underrated Wheelman & for all the love shown too & for BP, both before & since his passing, he is still UNDERRATED for being an Awesome Human Being. RIP Benny Parsons, for you are LEGEND 🙏
I remember watching this on tv when I was 7, running to the garage to tell my dad what was happening. It’s great to be able to watch it again with the original commentary. Everybody knew what they saw live…it’s why the booth reacted like they did. The guy in second dive bombed it and took the leader out. I think what nascar did was more of a message to the guy in the black 3 than the guy who did it but…Dover had had a lot of bumper banging the week before this and I think the rooster just did this at the wrong time.
If you look real close you'll see 4 year old me as a wee-lad in turn 7. Still remember this race, got my shirt signed by Michael Waltrip and got to sit in that bright yellow Penzoil Machine. Davey and that Thunderchicken were my hero. That bein said, rubbins racing! Wish I got to see him tango with Gordon before his unfortunate helo crash. Great upload, crazy to see how much the track has changed.
In addition to the controversy over the finish and the vicious crash suffered by the King; there was also a bizarre postscript involving another member of the Alabama Gang; Hut Stricklin. Stricklin's mobile home was ransacked and vandalized during the race, including the theft of a camcorder that had inside of it a videotape of his son Taylor from the time he was born until 1991.
i miss the carousel...wish they put it back in the nascar races...motogp and other non-nascar sanctioned races use the older format...nascar stopped using the carousel in 1998
I'm a lifelong Petty Fan & had been yelling "Please get out of the car Richard" since the end of the 86 season! So you can imagine my reaction to The King's scary looking crash! 😳!!🤢 As for the end of the race, I didn't have a dog in that fight & had/have a ton of respect for both driver's, but Nascar's ruling on the incident was 💩🤮 nuff said.
Sorry I know this was YEARS AGO but Ricky Rudd should have won this race. It’s racing it happens, if that would have happened for a battle for like 7th it would not have made a difference
After seeing the spin at the end, I agree that the black flag shouldn't have been waved. Dave Marcis (the lap car behind Rudd & Allison) saw the spin & claimed it was just hard racing. I'd have to agree with Marcis's statement. Ricky Rudd should've won
I would be embarrassed to celebrate a win gave to me. Not that he can be now, but should be ashamed. That win shouldve went to Rudd. Bumpin is racing and in all my 52 years I have never seen this before or since. They basically gave the win away. Now, look at Nascar in 2019, Want be long they will be in the past, they are dying a slow deserved death. They took rascing away from the roots and made it all about coorperations and money, now all the TRUE fans are gone.. Bye Bye Nascar.
Just like what Kyle Petty said in an installment about this race, they shouldn’t have thrown the black flag, they should’ve thrown the BS flag on that. He shouldn’t have been black flagged...
Only time in the history of winston cup racing that I can remember them doing this. Give the win to the second place guy after the first place guy took the checkered flag. Ricky Rudd should have been rewarded the 1991 banquet frozen foods 300 and Davey Allison should have been credited with 2nd. In 2006, they didn't apply the same rule to Brian Vickers after he wrecked Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. They didn't black flag Vickers and gave it to 2nd place Kasey Kahne.
On June 10, 1991, GMA Radio-Television Arts witnessed the penalty that Ricky Rudd costed his 1991 Banquet Frozen Foods 300 victory at the Sonoma Raceway. This race was produced by SilverStar Communications, Inc. and aired via tape delay at 2:30 P.M. right after Goodyear NASCAR Today With Rico Hizon & Bobby Guanzon
@Caelroigh Watching the action is what's the most important. For those who never saw these races before, they want to see who wins and not know about it until then.
It's a joke. Remember there was no black flag when Dale Sr spun Terry Labonte years later on the last lap at Bristol. So NASCAR for years and years has always been so inconsistent. I think Rudd should have won this race. However since NASCAR decided to give him the black flag than they should have been more consistent in the future. That was my point.
Nope... Nope... No sir! I saw Davey on the brakes a bit harder than Ricky. Ricky should have NOT been black flagged for that. This will go on my BS finish list...
Stupidest black flag ever, worse than the Talladega race where Regan Smith got penalized after Stewart bopped Smith below the yellow line and got penalized for passing Stewart below the yellow line.
You & your two other commenters are clearly wrong! Rudd clearly meant to take Davy out for the win! Nascar made the right call! The other two clearly didn’t watch the race in 99 at Bristol & know nothing about us Earnhardt fans! When Terry made the pass on Dale, it was far from clean! Dale was just letting Terry know what he thought about that & Terry spun out! Us Earnhardt fans were not booing because we know what really happened! If you noticed, no driver or NASCAR said ANYTHING after watching the actual replay because they saw what Terry did first! Only Earnhardt haters continue to blame Dale without mentioning Terry’s move!
Are you crazy? The main focus of these race videos are to watch and not know who wins the race. Although, Ricky Rudd could have waited until getting out of turn 11 before making his move. That's racing for you.
How did Mark Martin not kick the shit out of Tommy Kendall? How did he not get blacked flag?? I remember this race. Its just an example how inconsistent and how exhausting NASCAR has been and is still is. I love this sport. Been a fan my whole life, however it's comical how this sport makes up the rules as it goes on. It's crazy.
Worst call ever. Rudd had fastest car. It's close enough for the win. absolute B.S!! Coming up on last lap, don't let guy get to you. And he barely touched him. You can't prove shit.
Hard to agree with the penalty unless you're committed to the Allisons. Unprecedented penalty; why wasn't Gordon penalised for spinning Kenseth (deliberately) at Chicago in 2006? Or Logano for wrecking (deliberately) Hamlin at California in 2013? And so on, and so on; unique officiating.
Rick Hendrick should of payed off Nascar instead of bribing Honda for more cars for his dealerships.They would of let Ricky keep the win.Love Davey but he came down on Ricky in the turn and got spun as he should of.
Lol lots of salty people on here. Ricky Rudd knew that a slight touch to Davey on the right turn would spin him. Davey Allison was the rightful winner!
The rightful winner is the one whom crosses the finish line first. Ricky did. Are you serious about your comment. I'm guessing your a millennial... probably under 30
@@headbrown5629 I watched it live and everybody knew Ricky was gonna get penalized. It wasn’t until years later when casuals took over who cared more about soap opera drama and wadded up cars than talent that stuff like this became normal.
HAHA! Take that Ricky. Although I have a ton of respect for his toughness and durability, he deserved that penaly and had a penchant for pulling cheap stunts like that, like he did in Wilkesboro in 1989. There is a reason he never won the Winston Cup, cause he wasn't good enough.

I remember this race at 6 years old and I remember him getting spun out. My Dad was madder than me because he would pull for any Ford driver to win.
Good ol Buffet Benny loved that segment!!!!

I can't find a single video of this interview by itself. I don't get why
@Reddaytonadog3 What I meant to say was: you shouldn't post the winner in the notes. It's more fun to watch the race without knowing the outcome.

nascar's little known "as long as the Chevy don't have a 3 on it, throw the Ford a bone" rule.
Great upload..

The only thing consistent about NASCAR, is that they are so inconsistent
I didnt know it was Mark Artin!!! lol
Nothing goes with a Banquet tv dinner like a fine wine from Sonoma 😂
2:36:09 controversial finish
@Caelroigh The idea is watch and then find out who wins.
Nascar wasn't letting Ricky make no title run such a shame and there shafting him in hall of fame too easily top 50 all time
Nope... Nope... No sir! I saw Davey on the brakes a bit harder than Ricky. Ricky should have NOT been black flagged for that. This will go on my BS finish list...

This is when they ran the carousel every year. Why it looks so much different.
Kyle Petty's voice after that crash lol
Bad call for the black flag penalty. Sure, that wouldn't have happened to Dale Sr though lol
Yep. I loved Sr., but he flat out dumped Terry Labonte in the 99 Bristol night race. A CLEAR BLACK FLAG. No call. Even the fans booed victory lane.
@@scottwolf497 Yep, even Dale Sr's fan's were booing & booing loudly! The only time I ever saw Senior cringe in Victory Circle 😖 LOL!

1:25:33 what the fuck was that
Used to love the old races at round tracks but the Rockingham/Dover/Michigan, tracks can be boring this one is cool and competitive. Love old nascar!
1:25:38
but dale sr and kyle busch have done worse this had to be the worst call in nascar history such bullshit
HA HA .. Must be a #3 fan, Earnhardt took himself out of that race lol
Ricky straight dumped him
This stuff confirms how f'n LAME stock car racing has become...like when I watch Deacon Jones and Lawrence Taylor videos...
your right...he sucked...and his 23 wins showed that...good drivers wouldve won more
Lol lots of salty people on here. Ricky Rudd knew that a slight touch to Davey on the right turn would spin him. Davey Allison was the rightful winner!
