    Last time the Daytona 500 wasn't the first race of the season and the last race for the Gen 2 cars, the Gen 3 cars would take over at Daytona.

    *WHAT HAPPENED IN 1980?*
    • Dale Earnhardt became the Cup series champion in his 2nd full season benefited by Richard Petty's injury in Pocono (front-right blew up), Darrell Waltrip's team troubles and Cale Yarborough's mechanical issues. Cale fell short by less than 30pts in the end.
    • Donnie Allison left the #1 Chevrolet during the Spring and David Pearson took over and got a single win in his new ride. Donnie moved to the #16 and found no success there.
    *WHAT IS NEW FOR 1981?*
    • The Ontario Motor Speedway died
    • The cars are now slightly shorter (6-7 inches) and way narrower (13 inches!)
    • Ricky Rudd is now driving the GM #88 (Waltrip's)
    • Waltrip is driving the GM #11 (Cale's)
    • Cale is driving the GM #27 (Parsons')
    • Parsons is driving the Ford #15 (Bobby's)
    • Bobby Allison is driving the GM #28 (Baker's)
    • Baker is driving the GM #1 (Pearson's)
    • Pearson is driving the GM #16 (Donnie's)
    • Donnie Allison is driving the GM #12

      Boomer here! It was fun to watch out there.... we'd sit in the dirt I think it was turn 5 top of the S turns just before the first hairpin.... lots of dirt spinouts...the dirt would cloud up the course then they'd gear down hit the hairpins then open up on the back long straightway.., screaming!
      They had all cars race out there the GTs were cool.....and 24 hour Grand Prix of endurance....the latter was really tuff on drivers and cars....✌️

    Given the engine note on Waltrip's car (and a couple others) is it running a V6 rather than a V8? I know Junior Johnson often ran V6s in his cars on road courses, gave up a little horsepower in a straight line but was presumably lighter for better handling? :)
