Motor car race

The1994 Brickyard 400 was held on Saturday, August 6, 1994, at theIndianapolis Motor Speedway. The race marked the nineteenth race of the1994 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the eighth race of the1994 NASCAR Winston Transcontinental Series. It was the firstNASCARstock car race at the famous Speedway and the first race of any kind held at the track beside theIndianapolis 500 since theHarvest Classic in 1916. The race featured the largest crowd in NASCAR history, and a then NASCAR record purse of $3.2 million.

Second-year driver, 23-year-oldJeff Gordon, who once lived in nearbyPittsboro, was cheered on by the hometown crowd to a popular win.[2][3][4] It was his second career NASCAR Winston Cup win and thrust the young Gordon, the futurehall of famer, into superstardom.[5] Gordon led the most laps (93) and took the lead for the final time on lap 156 (of 160) afterErnie Irvan suffered ablown tire. The race was a turning point in the 1994 NASCAR season. After smacking the wall on the opening lap,Dale Earnhardt charged through the field to a 5th-place finish. Earnhardt took the points lead, and would never relinquish it, en route to his record-tying seventh championship. Irvan's misfortune in the race was followed two weeks later by aserious crash atMichigan where he suffered a near-fatal head injury.

The race was a culmination of decades of speculation and over two years of preparation. While the event was looked on with enormous anticipation and significant media attention, thetraditional nature of the Indianapolis 500 and the Speedway was a concern to ownership, some from theIndycar community, and some fans.[6][7] Despite some mild complaints, the event was considered a huge success and a financialcash cow—it ultimately bankrolled the formation of theIndy Racing League.[8] The race featured two former Indy 500 winners (A. J. Foyt andDanny Sullivan). Foyt came out of retirement to participate, which would be his finalWinston Cup start, although he would attempt to enter three more races after, notably the1995 Brickyard 400 and1996 Brickyard 400, all of which he failed to qualify.[9]

Background

[edit]

TheIndianapolis Motor Speedway opened in 1909, and the firstIndianapolis 500 was held in1911. It became a tradition that the Indianapolis 500 was the only race held at the track annually. With the exception of a Septemberrace meet in 1916, no other races were held at the track through 1993. As theNASCARWinston Cup Series began to grow in stature and popularity, speculation began to grow in the 1980s and early 1990s about the possibility of holding a race at Indy.[10][11][12][13]

On September 24, 1991,A. J. Foyt filmed a commercial forCraftsman tools at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. While filming in the garage area, Foyt, and Speedway presidentTony George decided to take Foyt's NASCAR Winston Cup Series stock car for a few laps around the track.[14] Foyt was the first driver to do so, and later on, George himself took a few laps. The event was not planned, and had no implications, but was an unusual sight, and stirred up some mild interest and speculation for the future.

In December 1991, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway board of directors voted to pursue a second race at the Speedway, preferably a NASCAR Winston Cup event. In March 1992,IROC was invited to test cars at the Speedway. On June 22–23, 1992, nine top NASCAR Winston Cup series teams were invited to test at Indy. Although no official announcements were made, it was in fact an unofficial compatibility test to see if stock cars would be competitive at the circuit. An estimated 10,000 spectators watched two days of history in the making.

On April 14, 1993, Speedway President Tony George and president of NASCARBill France Jr. jointly announced the inauguralBrickyard 400 would be held Saturday, August 6, 1994.[15][16] A new race logo was also unveiled. Immediately, anticipation for the event grew, as many drivers contemplated one-off entries, and comparisons were already being made to NASCAR's biggest event, theDaytona 500.ABC signed on to broadcast the race live, andESPN would cover practice and qualifying.

1994 season

[edit]

Jimmy Spencer won theDieHard 500 atTalladega, immediately preceding the 1994 Brickyard 400. Going into the race, the top five in championship points were as follows:[17]

  1. Ernie Irvan, 2,739 points
  2. Dale Earnhardt, −16
  3. Mark Martin, −258
  4. Rusty Wallace, −289
  5. Ken Schrader, −357

NASCAR "tire war" was notable during the 1994 season. BothGoodyear andHoosier tires were used by entrants. Most of the entries and many of the front-runners utilized Goodyear. A total of twelve Hoosier-shod cars would qualify for the race, led byGeoff Bodine.[18]

In order to attract more entries, the initial Brickyard 400 was concurrently included in the thenNASCAR Winston Transcontinental Series schedule. One provisional starting position would be available to the top driver in Winston Transcontinental (a temporary rebrand of Winston West) points that did not qualify on speed. The points leader in Winston Transcontinental standings entering the race wasMike Chase.

Going into the race, conjecture amongst fans and media contemplated the possibility of an expanded field, a special qualifying format, a three-abreast starting grid, a celebrity pace car driver, or other changes for the race. However, NASCAR officials planned on treating the Brickyard 400 as any other points-paying race, with standard rules and regulations.

Tire tests

1992 test

[edit]

On June 22–23, 1992, nine top NASCAR Winston Cup series teams were invited to Indy to participate in aGoodyear tire test.[19][20][21] Over the weekend, the teams had raced in theMiller Genuine Draft 400 atMichigan International Speedway. Although no official announcements were made, it was in fact an unofficial feasibility test to see if stock cars would be competitive at the circuit. An estimated 20,000-25,000 spectators watched a rather exciting two days of history in the making.A. J. Foyt took a few laps around the track inDale Earnhardt's car on the second day.[22][23][24]ESPN covered the test.

1993 open test

[edit]

On August 16–17, 1993, thirty-five NASCAR teams took part in an official open test at Indy. It was held as the teams returned from the second race atMichigan, theChampion Spark Plug 400. The top 35 teams in NASCAR points received invitations. Hosting the test in August mimicked the weather conditions expected for the race in 1994. Several thousand spectators attended, and many announcements were made.

Bobby Labonte (165.624 miles per hour (266.546 km/h)) set the fastest lap on Monday, whileBill Elliott (167.467 miles per hour (269.512 km/h)) turned the fastest lap overall on Tuesday morning. On Monday,Kenny Wallace spun out and hit the inside wall. He was taken to Methodist Hospital for minor injuries.[25] At noon on Tuesday, recently retired NASCAR legendRichard Petty took four fast laps by himself and then donated his car to theSpeedway museum.[26] Later on Tuesday, during a session of "drafting practice," a full complement of over 30 cars took to the track, to simulate race condition.John Andretti spun in turn 1, and several cars crashed. No injuries were reported, but the incident drew the ire of some of the veterans who thought some drivers were pushing too hard. ESPN covered the test, airing highlights of both days onSpeedWeek.

Some of the participants compared the Indianapolis Motor Speedway toOntario Motor Speedway, which was built to closely mimic Indy's layout. Only a handful of drivers in the field had actuallydriven at Ontario before it closed (1980), and none of them felt they held any sort of measurable experience advantage.

1994 testing

[edit]

During the summer of 1994, private testing sessions conducted by the manufacturers were held.[27][28] Ford teams tested in late June,[29] withSterling Marlin leading the first week with a lap at 170 miles per hour (270 km/h). During the second week,Ernie Irvan turned the fastest unofficial lap at the Speedway at over 171 miles per hour (275 km/h).Rusty Wallace was close behind at 170 miles per hour (270 km/h).A. J. Foyt came out of retirement, shaking down and testing the #50 Ford.[30][31]

In early July,Davy Jones turned a lap at 168.659 miles per hour (271.430 km/h),[32] but would later wreck his primary car.[33][34] Chevrolet and Pontiac's teams took to the track in mid-July.[35]Danny Sullivan blew an engine.[36]

Pole qualifying

[edit]

Pole qualifying for the Inaugural Brickyard 400 was held on Thursday, August 4, 1994. A NASCAR record 86 cars entered, for 43 starting positions. A blind draw was conducted to determine the qualifying order. A total of 85 cars took part in the draw andH. B. Bailey drew the #1 qualifying attempt. Per the NASCAR rules in 1994, a one-lap qualifying attempt was utilized. The top twenty cars in pole qualifying were locked into the starting field. The remainder of the cars could stand on their time, or make a new attempt in second-round qualifying. The qualifying session was expected to be lengthy, and NASCAR officials planned to run into the evening if necessary to finish. Car ownerRichard Petty was perturbed when his car picked one of the last spots in the qualifying order, quipping "That's sometime tomorrow, right?"

The first practice was held Thursday morning. Four incidents occurred, crashes byJoe Nemechek,Robert Pressley,Tim Steele, andDale Jarrett brushed the wall. Nemechek, Pressley, and Steele would switch to back-up cars, while Jarrett's car was not seriously damaged. The practice session was followed by a heavy thunderstorm that pelted the Speedway. The rain stopped and the track dried, allowing qualifying to start on time at 3 p.m.

The entire qualifying line of 70 attempts was completed without a single incident.H. B. Bailey went into the record books as the first stock car competitor to make a qualifying attempt. His average speed of 152.669 mph was an official stock car track record for only a minute or two, and his speed proved to be the slowest of the day other than those that experienced mechanical problems. Only two drivers experienced trouble, one wasKen Schrader, who blew an engine during his attempt.Dale Earnhardt took the provisional pole with a lap of 171.726 miles per hour (276.366 km/h), but his tenure at the top was short-lived. The very next car out to qualify wasRick Mast. Mast established a new stock car lap record of 172.414 miles per hour (277.473 km/h) to secure the pole position.Jeff Gordon was one of the last cars to make an attempt, and he qualified third.Geoff Bodine andBobby Labonte round out the top five. Sixteen cars, many of them Winston Transcontinental competitors, did not make a qualifying attempt during the pole round.

Indy car andIMSA regularGeoff Brabham, attempting his first NASCAR race, surprised many by qualifying 18th. Former Indy 500 winnersA. J. Foyt andDanny Sullivan, however, did not make the top twenty.Wally Dallenbach Jr. driving forPetty Enterprises, who drew 84th out of the 85 cars in line, pulled in when he felt something was wrong with the engine and ended the day with no speed. RookieJoe Nemechek, who wrecked his primary car in the morning practice session, bounced back with the 21st-fastest qualifying speed; a speed strong enough that he would stand on his time and ultimately qualify for the race.

Second round qualifying

[edit]
The car ofBrad Teague in the garage area during practice.

Second-round qualifying was held Friday August 5, 1994. The drivers that had qualified 1st–20th on Thursday were locked-in to those positions and did not have to re-qualify. The drivers that placed 21st and beyond from the previous round were allowed to stand on their time from Thursday, or erase it and make a new attempt. Due to the expected length of the session, and the sensitive nature of how the track is known to react to changing weather conditions,[33][34] for fairness, the qualifying draw order from the previous round was inverted for round two. NASCAR subsequently adopted this policy for all races from that day forth until two-round qualifying was abolished at the end of the 2000 season.

Five drivers stood on their times from Thursday, and all five hung on to qualify for the race.Terry Labonte, who had placed 26th Thursday, was among those who elected to re-qualify, and he wound up the fastest qualifier of the day. The decision was wise as Labonte's Thursday speed would not have qualified after Friday.A. J. Foyt managed to qualify in 40th, the last car to make the field on speed. After a miserable run on Thursday,Kyle Petty found much-needed speed and placed 36th. The two drivers who suffered mechanical problems on Thursday -Wally Dallenbach Jr. andKen Schrader - ranked 2nd and 3rd for the day, respectively.

Lake Speed (168.429 mph) andHarry Gant (168.003 mph) both failed to crack the top 40, but made the field as the provisional starters – the two highest-placed entries in NASCAR points standing not already in the race.[37] NoWinston Transcontinental Series competitors made the field on speed, butMike Chase (166.312 mph) was awarded a special provisional for the highest entry in Winston Transcontinental points standings (Chase was the Winston Transcontinental points leader going into the race).

Very few of the one-off entries by Indy car regulars made the field.Danny Sullivan surprised himself by placing 26th for his first (and only) career Winston Cup start.[38] Popular Indy car ownerDick Simon who was noted for never failing to qualify one of his rookie drivers at the Indy 500 fell short as his driver, NASCAR veteranJim Sauter, ranked only 47th. After no major incidents during qualifying attempts on Thursday, Friday's qualifying saw wrecks or spins by four cars, includingDaytona 500 polesitterLoy Allen Jr.Dick Trickle had a fast lap going until lightly brushing the wall coming off of turn four. He would miss the field by 0.037 seconds.

Among the drivers who chose not to make a qualifying attempt in the second round session was Ben Hess, who had been injured in an accident during a practice session earlier in the day.[37] 56-year oldCharlie Glotzbach, who had entered the Indianapolis 500 in 1969–1970 (but failed to qualify in both years), also did not make an attempt.H. B. Bailey, who had drawn the first spot in the qualifying order Thursday was, per the inverted order, the final car to make a qualifying attempt on Friday. Bailey closed out time trials, gaining over 8 mph from his previous speed, but still fell far short of making the starting lineup.

Qualifying notes

[edit]

A trio of brothers -Geoff,Brett, andTodd Bodine made the field, a feat that had only been accomplished once in the history of the Indy 500. In1982,Don,Bill, andDale Whittington all qualified for the 500. Another trio of brothers nearly did the same asRusty andKenny Wallace qualified, butMike Wallace ranked only 55th.P. J. Jones, son of1963 Indianapolis 500 winnerParnelli Jones, and the only driver entered who was a son of a former Indy 500 winner, did not complete a qualifying attempt.

FutureHall of Fame driversDavey Allison,Alan Kulwicki, and future Hall of Fame nomineeNeil Bonnett had all been notably killed in the time between the initial tire tests in 1992–1993 and the running of the race. Allison was the only one of the three that had participated in one of the early tire tests, taking part in June 1992.Neil Bonnett, who entered but did not qualify for the1979 Indianapolis 500, announced plans to enter the 1994 Brickyard 400.[39] However, he was fatally injured in a crash atDaytona on February 11, 1994, five months before the Brickyard 400 was held.[40] Kulwicki and Allison both died in aviation accidents in 1993.Geoff Bodine bought Kulwicki's team, Allison was eventually replaced byErnie Irvan, and Bonnett was replaced byJeff Purvis. All three of those entries qualified for the race.

Race summary

Pre-race

[edit]
Pre-race ceremonies

Popular Indianapolis 500 fixtureJim Nabors was invited to sing the national anthem, accompanied by theIndiana State University Marching Sycamores.Mary F. Hulman gave the traditional starting command.Elmo Langley drove theChevrolet Monte Carlo pace car, and Doyle Ford served as flagman. Theflyover was performed by the181st Fighter Group, featuring fourF-16 fighter jets.

All living former NASCARWinston Cup Champions were invited to participate in a pre-race parade around the track. Besides the former champions who qualified for the race (Earnhardt, Wallace, Elliott, Waltrip, and Labonte), those in attendance includedRichard Petty,Rex White,Buck Baker,Ned Jarrett, andBenny Parsons. FormerDaytona 500 winnerBuddy Baker was also in attendance.

After the final practice session Friday evening, polesitterRick Mast, as well asErnie Irvan andBrett Bodine, were among the teams that changed the engines in their cars.[41]

Start

[edit]

At the start, polesitterRick Mast ledDale Earnhardt into turn one. Down the backstretch, most of the field started to settle in single file. As they headed into turn three,Jeff Gordon looked inside of Earnhardt for second place, andGeoff Bodine attempted to draft behind him. Earnhardt held off the challenge, but lost some momentum to Mast. In turn four, Earnhardt drifted high and brushed the outside wall, which allowed Mast to stay ahead and lead the first lap. Earnhardt quickly began to slip in the standings.Jeff Gordon took over second position, them passed Mast for the lead one lap later. On lap 3,Danny Sullivan lost a side window in turn one andHarry Gant ran over it, shattering it. The caution flag came out for debris. Earnhardt pitted to change tires and check the damage and dropped to the rear of the field.

The green flag came back out on lap 6. On lap 10,Jimmy Spencer lost control and crashed hard in turn 3. He would become the first driver to drop out.

First half

[edit]
Jeff Gordon leads the field for a restart.

The first half settled into a comfortable pace, withJeff Gordon leading for several segments. The top five were battled among drivers including Gordon,Geoff Bodine,Bill Elliott,Darrell Waltrip, andBrett Bodine.Dale Earnhardt attempted to charge through the field and managed to lead laps during a sequence of green-flag pit stops.

A. J. Foyt ran out of fuel on lap 46. He attempted to stay out and lead a lap during green-flag pit stops, but had to coast around a full lap, and lost several laps in the process. He made it back to the pits and re-joined the race.

Second half

[edit]
Ricky Rudd

On lap 95,Mike Chase andDave Marcis crashed in turn 2, bringing out the caution. Under the yellow,Brett Bodine took on only two tires, which allowed him to re-enter the track with the lead.[42] The field lined up for the restart with brothers Brett andGeoff Bodine first and second, respectively. Brett got the jump and led down the backstretch on lap 100. In turn three, Geoff nudged Brett's rear bumper, which caused Brett to becomeloose, and Geoff took the lead.[42] In turn 4, however, Brett bumped Geoff in the rear bumper and spun him out in front of the entire field.[42] Geoff hit the outside wall and collectedDale Jarrett. Other cars scrambled to avoid the crash, most of which emerged with only minor damage. After the crash, Geoff suggested Brett spun him out on purpose, attributing the move to "family problems" between the brothers.[42] Brett later admitted he spun Geoff out on purpose, and the brothers feuded for nearly two years afterward.[42]

WithGeoff Bodine out, the race came down to a battle betweenJeff Gordon andErnie Irvan, withBrett Bodine holding on to a strong top-five position.

On lap 130,Geoff Brabham got high in turn 1 and hit the outside wall.Jimmy Hensley swerved to avoid him, but Brabham spun and smacked into the side of Hensley's car. Brabham was out of the race, but Hensley limped back to the pits with damaged fenders and flat tires. During the caution, the leaders made their final scheduled pit stops.Rusty Wallace'sPenske Racing South pit crew led byBuddy Parrott, executed a 15.9-second pit stop (considered lightning-fast at the time), and he came out of the pits with the lead.Jeff Gordon andErnie Irvan came out second and third, respectively. The top five was rounded out byBrett Bodine andBill Elliott. By that point in the race,Dale Earnhardt had worked all the way up to seventh place.

The green flag came back out with 26 laps to go.Rusty Wallace's lead was short-lived. He held the lead going into turn one, butJeff Gordon passed him going down the backstretch. The two ran side by side in turn four, down the main stretch, and into turn one again. Gordon finally got by, with Irvan now up to second. Wallace's chances for victory were dashed, and he slipped all the way back to 7th.

Finish

[edit]
Ernie Irvan (#28) leadingGeoff Brabham (#07).

With twenty laps to go,Ernie Irvan ledJeff Gordon andBrett Bodine. Gordon was battling a loose condition and decided to tuck in behind Irvan to improve his handling. As the laps dwindled down, Irvan and Gordon raced nose-to-tail and began to pull away from the rest of the field. Gordon slipped by to re-take the lead on lap 145, but Irvan stayed within reach. On lap 149, Irvan attempted to pass Gordon for the lead on the backstretch. Gordon stayed high in turn three, and the two went side-by-side into the turn. Exiting turn four, Gordon held off the challenge. One lap later, exiting turn two, Irvan tried the same move. This time the pass stuck, and Irvan was back in front.

With ten laps to go, Gordon tucked into second place and allowed Irvan to lead. Gordon's crew was instructing him to wait until the final 2–3 laps to make another pass attempt for the win.

With five laps to go, Ernie Irvan apparently ran over a piece of debris down the main stretch. He slid high going into turn one, and Jeff Gordon immediately dove underneath to take the lead. Coming out of turn two, and down the backstretch, Irvan's car looked unsettled. The right front tire blew, and he was forced to the pits. Gordon pulled away withBrett Bodine now in second. In the final four laps, Gordon was cheered on by the hometown crowd, but Bodine was beginning to close the gap. Gordon held off challenge and won the Inaugural Brickyard 400, his second career NASCAR Winston Cup victory. ABC Sports announcers Bob Jenkins and Benny Parsons described the finish thus:

Jenkins: Years from today when 79(the number of Indianapolis 500s run prior to this event) stock car races have been run here, we'll remember the name Jeff Gordon, winner of the inaugural Brickyard 400!
Parsons: Man, oh man, oh MAN!
Jenkins: Jeff is screaming on his radio back to the pit crew, "Oh my God, I did it! I did it!"

After dropping to the last place early on,Dale Earnhardt charged all the way to a fifth-place finish.Rusty Wallace, who briefly led after the final round of pit stops, came home fourth. A dejectedErnie Irvan wound up a lap down in 17th place. Two weeks later, Irvan was involved in aserious crash atMichigan where he suffered a near-fatal head injury. Irvan would eventually recover, returning to racing in late-1995. He would win back-to-poles at the Brickyard 400 in19971998 and notched a second place in the1996 race.

Brett Bodine's second place withKing Racing would be the final top-five finish of his career. It was also the best finish for car ownerKenny Bernstein at the Speedway. Bodine's second place came six days afterScott Goodyear had delivered King Racing their first Indy car victory atMichigan.
