In 1988, during an early-season off week, NASCAR drivers such as Neil Bonnett, Richard Petty and son Kyle, Allison, Michael Waltrip and Dave Marcis would go for a little road trip—just a mere 10,000 miles away.
Driving the No. 75 Valvoline Pontiac 2+2, Bonnett would compete in a close back-and-forth duel with Allison before taking the checkered flag by just under one second, with Marcis finishing third.on February 14, NASCAR records have Neil Bonnett winning the next two Winston Cup races, February 21 at Richmond and then, following an off-weekend, two weeks later on March 6 at Rockingham, N.C.
