FRONTSTRETCH TRIVIA:

Q: In the 1983 Warner W. Hodgdon 500 at Rockingham, Joe Ruttman had a good run early on in the Mike Curb-owned No. 98 Levi Garrett Buick.  However, his day ended against the wall.  What happened?

Check back tomorrow for the answer, here in the Frontstretch Newsletter!

Thursday's Answer:

Q: In 1996, Bobby Hamilton was in position to claim his first career win in the Goodwrench 400 at Rockingham.  However, it was not meant to be.  What happened that began a free fall to a 24th-place finish?

A: Hamilton had had a nice back-and-forth battle for the lead with Dale Earnhardt after a late restart.  The two raced each other clean, but Earnhardt just seemed to want it more.  Exiting turn 4 on lap 345, Earnhardt nipped Hamilton in the left rear, causing Hamilton to slide out of the groove and into the wall.  Earnhardt took the lead and eventually won the race.  The battle can be seen here.

Later, Hamilton spun exiting turn 2 and nosed into the outside wall, damaging the STP Pontiac significantly.  He was forced to drive the remaining 25 laps at reduced pace after repairs and eventually finished ten laps down.
