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.
