Flashback: Celebrity Race 1993

On Oct. 8, 1993, the celebrity race was held at Charlotte Motor Speedway. 10 Busch and 10 Winston cup drivers and 2 ladies are competing for the race. Jeff Burton won the pole for the draw, not the qualifying run. Glenn Jarrett interviewed two ladies Shelly Walther and Marla Medders and Tracy Leslie before the race. Maverine Michael also interviewed Joe Bessey and Jeff before the race.

Marla was driving for #71 for Keith Fahnhorst, not Dave Marcis, and the owner is Bobby Labonte, and Shelly picked #20 because Dale Jarrett already has #18. Marla has a sponsor of Vern Gosdin, and Shelly has a sponsor of Joe Diffie.

Five drivers involved in an accident on lap 14, Morgan Shepherd had the engine problem before birthday boy Bill Elliott had spun out, and bumps into Shelly and Tom Peck. Glenn interviewed both Shelly and Tom. Darrell Waltrip also had the engine problem. Rodney Combs also had an accident. Marla beats Tracy in the celebrity race, and Marla picks Elton Sawyer to drive for next year.
