Yeah, you usually need to at least distinguish yourself in a lesser series before they try to stick you in a cup car.

I dont think the 28 is cursed. Just a little coincidence but cursed is probably pushing it...8*) I hope anyway!!

It goes back farther than this--Fred Lorenzen, probably the guy who first made the number famous, had a horrific crash in the car that ultimately led to his premature retirement. Offhand, the only longterm driver of the car I can think of to suffer no serious damage is Cale Yarbrough.

It seems as though every driver that has been behind the wheel of the #28 car has suffered some form of trajedy. Davey Allison, Neil Bonnett, Ernie Ervin (still alive, but by rights should have died in that testing crash years ago) and now Kenny Irwin. Ricky Rudd better start carrying a rabbits foot in his pocket at all times, keep looking over his shoulder and sit with his back to the wall. It doesn't look good for him...

Don't know about cursed (although this is a terrible list of disasters) but superstition can certainly be seen elsewhere in this sport. In Formula 1 for many years now, the #13 has not been allocated to any car or team because it was deemed to be unlucky.

Fred Lorenzen Buddy Baker Cale Yaroborough All had very good years with #28 Irwin was brought into WC too early (in my opinion). And sufferd from this. Allison bought a much too powerfull helicopter and had few hours of instruction on how to handle it. buzard "DTP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MrF95.46228$[email hidden]... > It seems as though every driver that has been behind the wheel of the #28car has suffered some form of trajedy.

Not '64 for sure--but I'm pretty sure it was at Daytona. Car went airborne and fliprolled several times. I still think it was '68 or '69, maybe '67. I've always thought the crash was responsible for Lorenzen's retirement, although I don't think he's ever said so.

The engine fell out of it, but he brought the car back in one piece. I do agree he probably needed several more years in Busch. It is pretty amazing how many times they had to pour the car back in the trailer rather than drive it on. I would have liked to seen him run the trucks a few more times as well (he did that two or three times).

Neil Bonnet never drove for Yates. car has suffered some form of trajedy. Davey died in that testing crash years ago) and now at all times, keep looking over his shoulder much and will miss him even more. I know I long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

In 64 he flipped and cut an artery in his hand. Missed the 400. In 71? He was filling in for Donnie Allison in the Woods Bros #21 Mercury and really hit hard (forget the track) Several broken bones, out for a long time. buzard "chainbreaker" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:#zDzFYa6$GA.283@cpmsnbbsa07... > Not '64 for sure--but I'm pretty sure it was at Daytona.
