Racing Replay: 1984 Busch Clash

By

Here's a look back at Ricky Rudd's violent crash in the Busch Clash of '84 all-star event at Daytona Int'l Speedway. He was running fifth and coming off of turn 4 when he was tapped by Jody Ridley, sending his Ford Thunderbird flying towards that dangerous inside wall (which has since been removed).

Rudd picked up some injuries in this crash but went on to compete in the Daytona 500 the following week and finished a remarkable 7th place. He had to tape his eyelids open since the swelling was blocking his vision. He then went on to win the race at Richmond the week after that.
