Nascar Nation----a trivia question! Can you name this driver?

May be...

I think I found it. I think it was Rick Mast in the #1 Skoal Classic Olds. The race was the Winston 500 at Talladega. This looks like the finish right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW73-peFk...

You have the answer...Rick Mast. But Thanks for the great history reminder for today. I had forgotten all about that race.

Dang! Beat me to it! Rick Mast is right, at the Winston 500 at Talladega.

Rick Mast was my Guess as well
From the looks of my NASCAR book I think it is Rick mast

In 1991 Harry Gant was running very VERY low on fuel. His crew chief was screaming at him over the radio either pit or slow down because they were not going to make it to the finish. You see Gant and his crew chief were gambling trying to steal a win so to speak. They were going to attempt what at the time was thought impossible run 149 miles on one tank of fuel. With 5 laps to go the #33 started to sputter...Gant sighed...he wasn't going to win. But then hope came in another car coming to the rescue! A driver who was a huge Gant fan before he made it to CUP (who by the way was a few laps down) started bumping the #33...Gant would knock it in neutral take a bump, coast awhile and fire it back up. NASCAR rules do not allow any car to assist another on the final lap of a race so with 1 and a half lap to go this driver backed way down and then gave the #33 a bump that nearly wrecked our HERO HARRY....the bump was just enough to get Gant 3 quarters around the track. In turn 4 Gant fired up and chugged and sputtered his way to the finish line. Gant was cleared of any cheating and was allowed to keep the win without being penalized. So can you name this driver who helped his old buddy win??? Can you name the race??? The other car # and sponsor??? Here's a hint he drove an Olds just like Harry! Good luck and have fun with it.2005 ford expedition problem
