i liked when he pulled up at the end, right in front of the Ford sign
They both ran fast all race, and had pulled away multiple times during the race. Not like they both suddenly got extra fast at the end.

This book also went into detail about Darrell Waltrip hollowing out the K-member in his cars to use them as Nitrous containers, Teams welding up trap doors in the frames of the cars and filling them with lead shot, so the car would weigh in correctly then once of the track they would dump the load
