1992 Winston Last Lap 

My favorite driver. Davey would have been something for the record books had he not been taken from us too soon.

THANK YOU for uploading one of the best stock car race finishes of all time!!! Davey Allison had won the Talladega 500 a couple weeks earlier in May 1992. But this was a special format on a Saturday night where only the BEST drivers would compete in 3 race segments. Davey won the 1st one (30 laps), and then the entire field was INVERTED so Kyle won the 2nd segment (also 30 laps). The last part was a 10-lap shootout... and man oh man was it just that!Following the race, while Davey was asking 'what happened?' in the ambulance, Dale had Kyle in a headlock in the pit area. The races now-a-days just don't have the same charm as back then. And I promise you... none of it was scripted like on reality TV! If Dale was trailing Kyle going into that turn, he would have probably taken the air off his spoiler, too. They didn't call him The Intimidator for nothing.Somewhere right now Davey and Dale have their accelerators to the floor and aren't letting up. God speed to you brave men of horsepower. I really miss those days when (per Vince Lombardi) winning wasn't everything... it was the ONLY THING!

the glory days, long gone

Kyle “suspend Bubba for the same things I did” Petty

I was then and still am a huge Davey Allison fan. I watched him race as a 17 year old at BIR in Birmingham, Al. The complection of NASCAR's top series changed dramatically the moment he died for me. It was like losing a family member.

Davey was the man....i wish he was still with us so we could see his footprint in all the record books. he was a great talent that was taken far too soon. RIP Davey.

I hated my beloved Davey was wrecked, but this was a time when you could get excited about racing. I remember jumping up and down in our living room screaming at the tv screen. It's not the same anymore. We've lost too many of the greats. Miss you Davey and Dale!

Most hyped race I remember in my whole life. But it lived up to it. Think I was about 14. And it was ONE HOT NIGHT.

lol i'm a huge Davey Allison fan, even though i was born in '95 and never got to see him race, when i go to talladega i have a davey allsion flag, if i recall he was out a few weeks, but back in racing shape until his unfortinute accident in '93

I remember this moment, I was 9 years old and an allison fan (actually loved paint sceme). After a win like that he became a hero. 92 with elliott, allision, kulwiki was the best season ever. After allison its never been the same.

I can't believe THIS CLASSIC HASN'T BEEN UPLOADED!! No complete race at all :(

The Craziest Finish In NASCAR History.

davey allison came by and said hi to all the employee's at bunker hill meats in va. He was a really nice man who related to the working class and at ease with them.I always thought the world of him after he came by the plant and wanted to meet the workers and not just the bosses.

Davey Allison was awesome and if he hadnt passed, he probably wins at least 3 championships. RIP Davey.

Here after Austin Dillon

One of the greatest calls in all of sports was that right there.

kyle did exactly what dale woulda done if the roles were reversed. and Davey just had so much momentum it took him across kyles nose, funny how many people on here wanna blame Kyle for something that neither Dale nor Davey were mad about, because he didnt do anything wrong.

This was before I could watch Cup each week (no cable tv at my house until 1996), but watching videos here on YT, it seems like Davey had some vicious wrecks in his time. Especially '92! This race, Pocono... and then he gets wrecked at Atlanta to lose the title.... that sucks.

Great finish. Earneardt had a string of bad luck about that time. Blew Daytona with a flat tire in turn three on the last lap too. It's a pretty boy parade these days.

Best All-Star race, and quite frankly best NASCAR race ever!!

Wally Dallenbach Jr was a racing champion. 2 SCCA Trans Am championships, 4 wins in the 24 Hours of Daytona, 3 wins in the 12 Hours of Sebring, and a win at the Pikes Peak Hillclimb. One of the best American road racers ever.

I remember watching this race life when i was little, i was a huge kyle petty fan, i thought for sure he was gonna take the win after spinning earnhardt, then he took out davey, i dont think he even got to go to victory lane , he was shaken up pretty good after that hit with the wall.

@TheJawsFan24 You are right! Finally someone noticed! Earnhardt's car was likely loose already. Worn tires something of the like. The air changed when Petty came to pass on the low side and sent him around. Petty was going for a sidedraft and Earnhardt's car got sideways and that was all she wrote.

Victory celebrations went on even if the driver was not present, the whole 28 team spent the night in the hospital, I heard Davey's first words when he came to was "Did we win?, Did we win?" and Larry MacReynolds told him "Yes Davey, we won".

I miss Buddy Baker's commentary. Buddy knows everything about stock car racing. He was the best racing analyst.

I was at this race, hell of a finish. I was with some old guys who had been to nearly every race at CMS before this one and they said this was one of the best finishes ever at that race track. I was a huge Allison fan in those days and had money on Davey to win this race. I never bet but I did on that night and even when Earnhardt spun I still didn't think #28 had a chance. Man, it's hard to decide whats better when you win a bet: is it the money or the right to talk some serious shit lol?!

What everyone doesn't know about this crash, was that Davey's head broke through the window net and smashed against the concrete wall, Davey kept asking Larry Mcreynolds who won the race on the way to the Hospital.

Badass Finish! 28 car got lucky, when the Kyle Petty spun Earnhardt he lost alot of momentum allowing the 28 to pass him. He wrecked the car, but heck he won the race!!

So whats the difference between this and what Austin Dillon just did other than hamlin didnt make the line

Good god, Davey Allison smacked that wall hard. The color commentator was right, he won the race but sure paid the price for it.

awesome racing!!

@ArmadeusXxC If you know Kyle, you would have been better off (for his sake) saying he just made a mistake because there is NO way that he did not dump Allison. He wasn't even mid-door when he turned left in to Allison in the tri-oval. I am 100% for what he did to Earnhardt as senior blocked the hell out of him and Kyle did a MASTERFUL job at spinning Earnhardt without just running him over. A case of not respecting fellow driver safety with Allison.

Well it is NASCAR's version of the All-Star game, or the Pro Bowl after all, but even still, that last lap could've been a little cleaner. I mean, Kyle and Dale was probably gonna happen. Dale was trying to protect his lead, and Kyle just raced him. Kyle and Davey though, Davey passed Kyle cleanly, and Kyle just turns a dead left into Davey.

"Danica Patrick isn't a Race Car Driver"

The only place Petty could've gotten into Earnhardt was the entrance to the corner, but you can tell he didn't. He packed the air in, got Earnhardt loose, too loose to be able to hang onto it. Later, Petty held Allison down as far as he could go, and did bump him a time before the finish line. However, that was NOT what caused the wreck, after they came across the line, Allison drifted up and Petty kept his line. If anything, Petty should've been drifiting up as well, but didn't.

I once saw a Dale Earnhardt interview from about 1998 or 1999 and he said that if Allison was still alive he probably would not be a 7 time champion.

So Kyle Petty took out two legends who are now dead on the final turn of the 1992 Winston. He obviously intentionally turned Earnhardt in Turn 3, then he turned into Allison in the dogleg of the track. Damn, Allison took a hard lick in that wall

Holy cow, that was a hard impact! He hit that wall at the worst possible spot!

Same way with Earnhardt Sr., he recked other racers and knocked them out of the way for a win. When Kyle did that to Dale Sr. I though he got what he diserved after all those years of his rough driving style.

it also sounded like somethin was wrong with mike. he was so excited about the finish but, he wasnt worried about davey like the other announcers.

yea i agree its just there has to be a line where certain things have to be serious and not taken as a joke all the time.

And to add on to what I had previously stated, Davey should've won the championship in 1992. Usually I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ernie Irvan; The replacement driver who was hired by Yates. At Atlanta, whenever Ernie sustained a flat tire, and spun out on the front-straightaway just ahead of Davey, it seemed like he got screwed over and was unfortunately involved in the incident. However you really couldn't blame either of them because Ernie just checked up right in front of Davey.

@flubber342 Of the current races, Bristol was the first to run at night. They ran night races at Nashville and other places years ago, but I think Bristol first ran under the lights in 1981 or 82. Richmond first did in 1990, and since '98 both Cup races have been at night. Wilkesboro never ran at night.

Mike Joy, Buddy Baker & I belive the late Neil Bonnett called this race

One Hot, and Wild Night

Petty's always owned the Allison's

Who else heard the cat when Dale spun

Who called the race. I think it's Myers, but when I heard "They crash past the finish line!", it sounded like the current Craftsman Truck Series on SPEED lead announcer.

@berad0367 If I remember right Geoff Bodine won it in '94. In any case, I remember this race, the first one at Charlotte under the lights...and there is no way it could be '94, because Davey passed in July of 1993.

Man those were the times.

I know that Davey would've beat Dale out a couple of times for the Championship. Dale even said it himself in an interview he did in 1997. I'm an Earnhardt, and an Allison fan. Once Jeff Gordon came into the sport I believe it would have been a fantastic rivalry between the three of them (Allison, Earnhardt, and Gordon) for the rest of the 90's. The early 1990's was the peak of professional stock car racing (NASCAR), and now Sprint has completely altered the sport. R.I.P. Davey, and Dale.

Who's here after watching the wild Xfinity series finish at Bristol?

you do crazy things for a win

Everybody does crazy stuff in that situation. I know Kyle was agressive, but so was Davey.

He made contact before they went off into the corner, but Kyle didn't directly wreck Earnhardt. The push got Dale loose, and he lost it on his own.

@Brandon01ford1 I guarantee you that Davey would've been a multiple champion throughout the remainder of his promising career. It's a real shame, because he possessed the potential to become one of the greatest stock car drivers of all time. His team owner Robert Yates said after observing Davey compete all those years that he was more talented than his father, you know Bobby Allison. And that's a quite a statement considering Bobby is still currently 3rd overall on the all time victory list.

Kyle talks about this in the Podcast with Yates on NBC

you dont see too many race finishes like that anymore!! btw petty finished 3rd in tonights coca cola 600 which was his best finish in like 10yrs.

you could say he was a bit "Petty" in trying to spin out both Earnhardt and Allison

Petty pulled down on Davey. Don't get me wrong i like Kyle but there was no need to wreck Davey

Anyone have an extended version of this?

I heard Davey's first response after it was "did we win?, did we win?" and Larry McReynolds said "yes we won". Weird victory lane celebration with no driver though just a mangled 28 car.

Thats what happens when you pull a move like what Allison pulled. Hard racing is what caused Allison to crash, and you know what, I would of pulled the same move too.

The crew and car did NOT go to victory lane without the driver!!! Read Larry Mac's book "The Big Picture" he said Robert Yates wouldn't let the team celebrate without the driver.

Doesn't look like they're flippin, just raisin they're fists.

I think they made some contact though prior to Dale getting loose. Not saying that was Kyle's fault, Dale practically was cutting Kyle off the track, but yeah, at least you understand.

If Davey didn't left us. I believe Dale wouldn't be 7x.

i was 10 watching this. After Dale wrecked, i thought " Aww Shit, Allison and Petty are gonna make a show" i was RIGHT. Bad Ass Finish !!!!!

On TBK? Because that seems to be the place where you find your videos.

I know this is going to be hard to answer, but there was a piece of music played, it was a guitar solo, would anyone by chance happen to know who did that piece of music.

@NASCARFAN328 He didn't, he spent that night in a hospital.

best.finish.ever

@ShotgunDolphin Yeah, I think you might be right. It looks like he might have just taken the air off of the back of his car.

@berad0367 Your probably thinking of 1994 when Ernie Irvan who was also racing in the 28 had a very similar crash to Davey's battling Geoff Bodine for the win on the last lap

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I'm going to say that I don't see contact between Earnhardt and Petty. I think Kyle got so close to him that Earnhardt just lost.

wish Allison was still with us, damn...

lol i remember watching this live thinking Kyle Petty went insane.

Talk about an up and down lap! One moment its "Yes! Earnhardt wnning." Next moment, it's "Sh and it. Davey's going to win." Then, "Darn, he did." Then..."Yes! Kyle wrecked him!". It sure stopped being funny as the years have gone by. RIP Davey and Dale.

What do you mean Yates wasn't at the top then? Davey was leading the points at the time of this race! How much closer to the top can you be?

lmao, Earnhardt got dealt some much-needed payback. Atta-boy, Kyle! But he didn't need to spin Davey out at the end :(.

@timekeeperstudios maybe NASCAR should give out 5 bonus points to the first driver every race to take out Kyle Busch. It would make it (possibly) easier for somebody else to win a championship, Kyle would end up taking everyone elses ass out, more people decide to watch races because everyones out to kill each other. The cars are safer than back in the day, so let them do what the did back then.

oh wow, i am WAY out of the loop

@berad0367 Yeah, I was at the race. 1992. Memories.

@berad0367 your tape is wrong.

Kyle Petty.....what have you done

man that could of been fatal davey hit that concreate wall driver side first extremely hard.

Back when you could wreck a person and not have any delays... If this happened today you know a yellow would fly after petty taps Earnhardt

@macaddict3032 I know Kyle personally. It was an accident. He thought he had the clearance and did not.

That's how kyle petty races if you pass him he wrecks you. Watch closely. As he's getting passed and turns the car left before the start/finish line.

Yeah, all the good, real drivers are gone now. Davey and Dale were two of the best

Davey! Davey! for the ages

He was actually knocked out, so he couldn't have gone to Victory Lane even if he had wanted to!

@macaddict3032 You should watch petty's line and then watch the part of the video a second time and watch allison's line, allison came up his line into kyle, so no, that wreck was allison's fault, not kyle's

I was there

Kyle didn't spin Dale out. Dale got loose. But still I know what you mean.

@macaddict3032 No, I think Davey went up, not Kyle going down.

that was one hell of a race and kyle wouldn't wreck anybody on purpose maybe kyle got loose and hit allison and allison spun

I heard that Allison was injured just a little bit in this accident ALL BECAUSE OF PETTY

how did he go to victory lane if he was injured

What does he have to do with this race?
