1988 Piston Cup Season!

The 1988 Piston Cup Season was possibly the saddest ever in history. 4 fatal crashes happened this season. All with sponsors no longer in the Piston Cup. James Speed for Kit Kat, Robby Carrows for Oily Oil Drinks, Johnathan Waterroads for Snickers, and Nathan Cargers for Roadybumps. These crashes took place of Nightdona, Richmond, Smasherville, and MSOTS. Safety improvements were made after these crashes. Gerald Lugspin who was set out to be the legend of the 90s debuted for Carbon Cyber. Slider Petrolski replaced Lane Powers his other uncle. This was Billy Ford's last year. Dale and The King tied at wins but Dale had more better finishes by just one top 10.
