Post-Racing Life and Previous Restorations

a Bill Elliot win. After the cup was won, the car was pressed right back into service. Allen didn't have the resources to send a car that good to a museum. But the car did eventually retire and here it is. This is the car Allen clinched the Winston Cup with in the fall of 1992. >> What happened to it after Atlanta 92 to right now being in the basement of the Hall of Fame. >> It's a pretty crazy story. That's for sure. You know, it it uh it was wrecked uh you know, Jeff Line drove it uh in uh we were actually just talking about that. I can't remember if it was 93.
