🎥VIDEO: 20 years ago, an incredible battle for the win at Darlington ended in the closest finish in NASCAR Cup Series history. Kick off ThrowbackWeekend at the track TooToughToTame by taking a look back on Ricky Craven vs. Kurt Busch:
Today begins 'throwback weekend' for NASCAR where the sport reflects on its past while tackling one of its most iconic and historic circuits — Darlington Raceway.Darlington is known as the track too tough to tame, and it's almost considered an insult to not hit the wall at some point during the race weekend. Mostly because if you don't hit it at least once, then you probably aren't trying hard enough.
So in the spirit of throwback weekend, let's take a look back one one of the most iconic finishes in NASCAR history. With 30 laps to go, Kurt Busch was running third and Ricky Craven fourth, but the order was getting ready to rapidly change. Busch was 24 years old and in his third full-time year of competition. He was no stranger to Victory Lane, with four wins in the previous season. Craven was 36, and had just one win in 220 Cup starts.
After diamonding Turns 3 and 4, Craven pulled alongside Busch as the flagman gave the two-to-go signal. This time, he was committed to the move. Both were sliding all over the track, even down the straightaways. The tires had nothing left in them, but both drivers willed their cars forward, dreaming of the chance to win at Darlington.Craven got another strong run through Turns 3 and 4, this time running right up against the wall. But he hesitated, not wanting to make the same move into Turn 1 again. Nose-to-bumper at the white flag, no one was sure who would come out on top.
