Tl results THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER Monday July 20 1992 3B Gutekunst added to Wake staff This beating could be the one that sidelines Allison CAROLiriAS Best decision: Darrell Waltrip and Harry Gant both pitting a second time during the final caution period to top off their fuel supplies The strategy cost track position for the restart on Lap 161 of the race's 200 laps but It enabled the two to go the distance while rivals in front of them had to stop Waltrip won and Gant finished second Turning point The crash on Lap 150 that eliminated the Ford of Davey Allison who had led 1 15 laps Worth mentioning: Waltrip became only the third driver to win four Winston Cup races at Pocono joining Bill Elliott and Tim Richmond Quote of the race: "I don't know how those guys went 41 laps on a tank of fuel I thought you only got that kind of mileage with a Toyota or one of those other foreign cars" Ricky Rudd who had to stop for enough fuel to finish on Lap 181 and wound up In fourth place By TOM HIGGINS Staff Writer LONG POND Pa For the fourth time this season team owner Robert Yates crew chief Larry McReynolds and members of their Charlotte-based racing operation watched Sunday as driver Davey Allison rode through a savage crash This one In the Miller 500 occurred as Allison attempted to drive back to the front in a NASCAR Winston Cup race dominated It was the worst of all It exceeded even the violent wreck Allison experienced May 16 at Charlotte Motor Speedway just after taking the checkered flag in The Winston all-star race After being tapped by winner Darrell Chevrolet Ford slid sideways and then sailed into the air rolling 1 1 times and slamming down a shattered hulk just off the 25-mile Tunnel Turn rated by many drivers as trickiest "NASCAR needs to take 100 horsepower out of these cars" said Yates who later learned Allison broke his right collarbone both bones in the right forearm and his right wrist and bruised his right eye socket "One of these days a car is going to get airborne go in a grandstand and all of us are going to be out of Allison who'd set track speed records in leading 115 of the 150 laps before the accident was in surgery for the broken wrist for hours Sunday night at Lehigh Valley Hospital in nearby Allentown He was listed in stable condition lie faces more surgery on the wrist but doctors were noncommittal about when or about how long he will be hospitalized It was too early to determine his status for the DieHard 500 next Sunday at his home track Talladega (Ala) Superspeedway where he won tne Winston 500 In May The Allentown hospital Is where dad NASCAR legend Bobby Allison fought for his life and spent weeks recovering from injuries suffered in a crash entering the Tunnel Turn in June 1988 Said McReynolds: "Before the helicopter took Davey to the hospital he was very alert and thankful for that He knew where he was knew he had been racing and knew what was going on "I know how many licks like this our little driver can take I hope this is all of them for the rest of the year" Allison also crashed in April in the Food City 500 at Bristol (Tenn) Raceway and the Hanes 500 at Martinsville (Va) Speedway Even so he missed a race and had led the point standings since taking the season-opening Daytona 500 rolling to four victories along the way After starting Sunday from the pole he appeared headed for a fifth win and speculation was increasing that he would become the first driver in NASCAR history to lead the standings through an entire season wreck ended that possibility as Bill Elliott took the top spot in the standings toward the $1 million Winston Cup title defending the national title it won last year Motorsports Veteran late model sportsman driver Freddie Query of Kannapolis won the 60-lap feature race
