In Progress

I have decided that these will be the projects that I will focus on for the time being.

Stay tuned!

1967

I have not touched any of my other 1967 replays since October 2016, about 4 months before I turned 50.

I think it’s time I changed that, so this week I’ll either continue my 1967 Broncos season replay, or attempt to start either a 1967-68 basketball or 1966-67/1967-68 hockey season replay.

Stay tuned!

1979: Nashville

July 14, 1979: Busch Nashville 420

Race results and current standings:

Richard Petty and Bobby Allison tangled early and often during the race, eventually causing a yellow flag during the waning laps, and taking Wayne Watercutter with them.  The result was Darrell Waltrip regaining the points lead.

Your race winner, Dale Earnhardt!

Next up: the Coca-Cola 500 @ Pocono Raceway.

Stay tuned!
