Nascar Trivia! Can you tell me when this happened?

May be...

I'm pretty sure this happened in the 1989 Daytona 500. Davey Allison was the driver in the #28 Texaco/Havoline Thunderbird. He was part of the Alabama Gang, so the car was a star in the Motorsports Hall of Fame.

I believe FireStorm has it!!

If you miss Davey give this question a star!!

This driver was clipped by Geoff Bodine on the 23rd lap of the Daytona 500. The car skidded down the backstretch flipped over on it's roof and slammed into the retaining dirt wall. But here's the kicker the car was repaired and sent back out! With rolls upon rolls of duct tape this team got their car back onto the track and finished the race 25th!!!!!
The car was missing it's hood and scratched and dented on all 4 sides.
But this car was tough.....manufacturer tough! Can you name the driver? The car #? What year did this happen? This car was a real star when it was placed into the Motorsports Hall of Fame in Alabama.
Good luck and have fun with it!!!

I was there that year and yes it was Davey Allison. The car was for all practical purposes a total wreck but could still maintain the minimum speed to stay on the track. I believe this was pre-restrictor plates days so not a whole lot of pack racing going on at the time, maybe 2 or 3 cars lining up in a draft. By the way, the year was 1989 and it was a cool day at the track, THANK GOD FOR THE MALL ACROSS THE STREET THAT PROBABLY SOLD OUT OF COLD WEATHER GEAR ON SUNDAY MORNING.australian ford falcons
