Not a bad day for our guys! Buckshot didn't last long. He wrecked a lot of good cars.

Yes, sadly Buckshot stood a 00% chance of winning whenever he hit the track in Cup. Probably equal parts bad car and his not being ready for Cup.

I liked the guy though. Met him a couple of times here in Nashville in his Busch days. Was nice to me both times. It was right in the middle of his "feud" with Randy LaJoie who always insisted on calling him Roy.
