Those are some toughies DeeDee.

I know a drunk guy ran on the track at Pocono once but can 't remember the year.

I thought Fireball Roberts used to drive with a monkey in the car. Or was it Tim Flock?

The '76 Daytona race - I think Petty's crew tried to push him across the finish line.

With no research whatsoever...

1. 1993 at Pocono, don't know if it was the 1st or 2nd race
2. don't know
3. Petty slid up in front of David Pearson coming out of the final corner, and the two cars tangled. Petty slid to a stop in the infield, and his engine died. While his crew came out and tried to push him across the line, Pearson, who had stood on the gas throughout the crash to keep the engine running, crawled across the finish line at about 20 mph to win. Petty ended up 2nd.
4. a monkey named Jocko Flocko
5. Richard Petty, on his dad Lee's car sometime in the 1950's
