No Credentials Classic NASCAR Crash of the Week

            For those of you that thought Jeff Gordon’s little tumble in the Bud Shootout was bad, I’d like to offer a cold dose of reality. Here’s Ricky Rudd’s terrifying crash in the same event back in 1984 (back then it was called the Busch Clash).

            A couple of fun notes about that tumble to show how bonkers Ricky Rudd was back in the day. In addition to cracked ribs, both of Rudd’s eyes were so swollen after the crash that he used scotch tape to keep his eye lids open during the Daytona 500. He finished seventh. Even more impressive, Rudd won the very next week at Richmond.
