**POINTS STANDINGS and WINS before the 1984 WORLD 600 (12 of 30):** #11 Darrell Waltrip (1687 with 3 wins, GM) #44 Terry Labonte (-53, GM) #15 Ricky Rudd (-87 with 1 win, Ford) #9 Bill Elliott (-91, Ford) #3 Dale Earnhardt (-127, GM) #43 Richard Petty (-141 with 1 win, GM) #33 Harry Gant (-214, GM) #12 Neil Bonnet (-260, GM) 1983 champion Bobby Allison (GM #22) kept having on and off races and was 10th. Geoff Bodine (GM #5 with 1 win) was 11th after 2 crashes early in races. Tim Richmond (GM #27 with 1 win) was 14th after 2 crashes and 3 mechanical DNFs. Part-timer Cale Yarborough (GM #28) won the Daytona 500 and the Alabama 500. Benny Parsons (GM #55), another part-timer, won the Dixie 500. Despite being the best rookie of 1983, Sterling Marlin couldn’t secure a ride and didn’t have a good sophomore season. Drivers listed are the season's current top8, last season's top8 plus the rookie of the year before and whatever race winner that doesn't fit any of those 2 descriptions. Yes, I’m using the unsponsored names of the races. In Charlotte’s case, the Memorial Day race is the World 600 while the later one is the National 500.
