 Nashville's Fairgrounds race track had seen numerous controversies over the years, but 1984's controversy may have topped all of them.On lap 418 three cars crashed on the backstretch; Darrell Waltrip led laps 418 and 419 but Junior Johnson teammate Neil Bonnett passed him on the final lap under yellow; Dick Beaty of NASCAR initially ruled Bonnett the race winner; the following Monday, however, NASCAR reversed the decision since the yellow had flown before the last-lap pass.Richard Petty had not won at Dover Downs International Speedway since 1979 and had not won the track's spring/early summer race since 1969.
