The Greatest Talledega Race

[HardScrabble]

AT least in some folks opinion.

The 1984 Talladega 500 will be on Speed today at noon ET. A race that required long looks at the photo finish cameras to figure out the top 10 finishers. A race that saw 68 lead changes among 16 drivers. A race without restrictor plates.

See Cale in the Hardees Chevy, Terry Labonte in the Piedmont Airlines Chevy, DW in Juniors Bud Chevy, Bobby Allison in the Miller Buick, DE in the Wrangler Chvy, Buddy Baker in the Woods Bros Ford, Tim Richmond in the Blue Max car, Bill Elliott in his first Coors T-Bird and a host of others.

Classic 'Dega slingshot going into Turn 3 on the last lap. DE made the pass on the outside, passing Terry Labonte for the win.
