After a few years as a crew member, this was my the start of my second year as an official. Oh the stories . . . Still have my uniform. Actually still have all my officials uniforms, except for the last year because of sponsor changes. Gave those back since they could still be used. Shane got boned, the camera crew had to do something to the in-car. Either they didn't snap the fasteners on the window, or due to the wreck everything was a little off and they didn't fasten it right. Frank Kimmel turned the car he was driving over to Rick Sheppard, because the car was Rick's. Kimmel wrecked his car earlier in the week. He was going to run the whole season, but Rick wasn't, so they put 02 on the car. Kimmel got the points, Sheppard got the guaranteed starting spot, due to owner points from '95.
In this race you have two of the NASCAR craftsman trucks series driver's Mike skinner and Ron barfield jr. And one going to be at Talladega this year and that's going to be Jack Sprague.
There are websites out there who have all that documented and for NASCAR there’s even a book with the statistics for every race since the beginning under the NASCAR name.
That's the way I always remembered her. BTW, the little girl Tim's holding . . . she's put in her laps at Berlin Speedway, where Tim, and Johnny Benson, Sr. and Jr. a bunch other got their start.
