1989 NASCAR Winston Cup Series - The Budweiser at The Glen

The Budweiser At The Glen

The Budweiser at the Glen was held August 13 at Watkins Glen International Raceway. Morgan Shepherd won the pole. This race is notable for a big wreck on lap 89 involving the #5 of Geoff Bodine. Bodine lost a tire at the end of the backstraight, spun around and went through the barrier and hitting a fence behind the barrier (more or less marking off the property line of Watkins Glen International's land). Bodine was uninjured. Also on that day, Tim Richmond who had a long battle with AIDS, died earlier in the day.
