Was it Earnhardt for dumpin Geoff Bodine in the 88 World 600?? I think he got held 5 laps.

Sick, change them around, It was Geoff who went to the box. Dale did dump Geoff, but Nascar would never at that time put Dale in the box. Geoff came back and dumped Dale and Nascar said enough and put Geoff in the pit's. I was watching the movie 3 preview on speed and Geoff was on and said the penalty box was first opened for him after the spin with Dale. Good Job.

It was Dale. I have the race on tape. The Busch race the day before the two of them got together twice, and they were warned by NASCAR to stay away from each other for the Cup race. In the Cup race, Dale spun Geoff, collecting 4 or 5 other cars, too (including my man Cale). They held Dale for 5 laps. Childress was PO'ed. "No comment!!! Talk to NASCAR!!!" was his reply to what happened. The announcers (Ken Squier and Johnny Hayes) were surprised that Dale got penalized. Back then it was virtually unthinkable. Looks like Geoff's memory is gettin a little hazy.

Sick, I'm sure Geoff's memory is about used up after all the wrecks he's been in, thank's for the info. Richie.
