Tim Welborn has resurrected the #71 Daytona from it's resting place at the International museum of speed in Talladega, dusted it off and brought it up to it's last run spec's. He took it to Bonneville and ran it to 180 MPH. They are going back this year to try to match, and perhaps break the...

All the paving equipment used on the track was teatherd to a huge bulldozer that ran around the top rim.

This was before his time.... LOL. I was an employee at Talladega Superspeedway during the time the movie was filmed. Now THAT was fun, and free lunches for the weeks they were there. I also worked there during the repaving of the track and have over 200 digital pictures of that procedure, taken...
