Description:
1984. Wrangler Jeans sponsors two completely different Nascar race teams. Why?
Dale Earnhardt drove Bud Moore's #15 Ford in '82-'83, and took his Wrangler sponsorship to that team. Bud Moore also entered into a contract with Wrangler. When Dale left to join Richard Childress's team, he 'took' the Wrangler sponsorship with him... but Moore still had a contract with Wrangler too.... |

Rudd also had a harrowing wreck in the same car at the 84' BUSCH Clash at Daytona, put the car through about 4-5 cartwheels on the trioval grass, have it on tape if anyone wants to watch :D

#3, Actualy, they checked him over at the infield hospital and released him within the hour, you must be thinking of a different crash. It was one of those that looked worse on film than it really was.

#5, It was in the bad old days before roof flaps, car spun around, back end lifted up, went 90 degrees vertical, came down and started that bad barrel-rolling

#5, Turns out you were right, he was in pretty bad shape after the wreck, his seat broke partialy lose and he got beat up pretty badly, I always assumed he was okay because the announcers updated his condition as the race went on and said that he had "only been shaken up" so I guess they didn't know the whole story either

You can blame the "bump" in turn 4 for that accident, same one that put Cale Yarborough into the catch fencing during qualifiying the year before.
Rudd was running either 5th or 6th at the time, and exiting the turn, his car just kept on turning, went into a skid and took off
Ironcialy, had the car been equipped with roof flaps, it would have backed into that retaining wall at 180 mph, the fuel tank certainly would have been ruptured, there would have been a fire, and almost certainly, Rudd would have been either killed or suffered major and probably career-ending trauma.
As it was, he flew OVER it clearing it by inches
