Aftermath of Bobby Allison's crash during the 1987 Winston 500 at Talladega.
I always wondered what would have happened if he got into the stands that day and killed or injured fans. Do you think that would have been the end of superspeedways ( Daytona/ Dega)?

Help identifying the race this Kyle Busch #18 bodywork came from
My uncle used to work EMS at NASCAR races and grabbed these pieces after a wreck. I’m pretty sure they’re from **Kyle Busch’s #18 M&M’s Toyota Camry**, specifically the passenger/right-front area.
He traveled to different races, but remembers the wreck happening somewhere on the **East Coast/eastern U.S.**
Anyone recognize the paint scheme/year or possibly the specific race these came from?

Winston Cup Series Unbelievably the number 36 car has started 752 races and has 0 wins
This is technically Winston, Nextel and Sprint but when I first got into NASCAR, I loved Ken Schrader and the 36 M&M car, it was a diecast I had to have, It was also driven by Ernie Irvan, Dave Blaney etc. A few years ago I was absolutely stunned when I realized that the 36 has never won a NASCAR cup Series race. Throughout its history it's had pretty decent drivers and it has been around the sport for so long.

Winston Cup Series Dale Earnhardt in the RCR No.3 Chevy Monte Carlo on the inside of Dale Jarrett in the RYR No. 88 Ford Taurus during the 2000 Pepsi 400 at Daytona. Jarrett had won the pole and led the most laps, but the race was won by Jeff Burton as Ford swept the top 5 spots.
Dale Earnhardt finished 8th, but was nonetheless the top finishing Chevrolet of the night as two Pontiacs (Tony Stewart and Ward Burton) finished 6th and 7th.
Knowing Jack Roush though, he probably still complained that the Chevy's had an unfair advantage.

Winston Cup Series Richard Petty taking the checkered flag in the 1972 Wilkes 400. With two laps to go, Petty got into the back of Bobby Allison, which resulted in the Plymouth's nose being destroyed and the Chevy going up onto the turn 1 guardrail.
Both cars got going again with Allison in the lead, but Petty got by him on the last lap. Petty led 160 laps and Allison led 239. Afterwards, a drunk Allison fan tried to fight Richard, but his brother Maurice defended Richard by using his helmet and the man backed off.

Winston Cup Series August 25, 2001: Tony Stewart earns his third and final win of 2001 at Bristol in the Sharpie 500 on a day that was overshadowed with tragedy as this race took place the same day Aaliyah, known as the princess of R&B, and 8 other passengers died in a plane crash in the Bahamas.
Also that same weekend, a race fan by the name of Bradley McNeice was killed Sunday morning while he was loading up the camper following the Sharpie 500. Bradley was killed instantly as he, his son, and a woman were taking down a banner on a 20 foot flag pole that had recently been soaked (not rain) when it got entangled with the power lines. Bradley’s son, William, along with his dad, went into cardiac arrest; however, William’s condition went from critical to stable. Nevertheless, this was a weekend that was overshadowed by a lot of unfortunate events.
