Ladies and gentlemen, the Iceman has left the building. Harry Gant was one of the most popular drivers ever to have raced Winston Cup, both with the fans and with others in the garage area. For the most part Gant had a well deserved reputation as a Southern Gentleman, and a friendly soul. Handsome Harry wanted to have a chat with Kulwicki about it. Harry didn't like Alan's answer or attitude, so after looking around to make sure there were no TV cameras in the area, he punched Kulwicki in the face.
Drivers can get a little irritated, and irritating over the radio at the races.
Lake Speed has always been known to get along well with his crews, and is in general a soft spoken man. A voice came back over the radio with words to the effect, the car was not junk, and a lot of hard working men had spent a lot of hours to build it. Lake they said they would sort it out during the next pit stop. Ken Schrader is another of those drivers who rarely has a harsh word for anyone, but he is also a fierce competitor with countless short track wins both on asphalt and dirt surfaces, in addition to four Winston Cup wins. Schrader was on the move during the 1990 Southern 500, until he tried to get around Morgan Shepherd.
