1987 Virginia 500

The 1987 Virginia 500, race 30, is best known for Taylor Bendy winning his only career win beating The King. Unfortunately, a big one on lap 142 took out eight racers including most popular driver MURRAY CLUTCHBURN!!!!!! Murray also took the most damage.

Darrell Cartrip had a hyper crash in qualifying in which he flipped seventeen times and lands on his wheels. Darrell missed this race and the LA 500

Murray's crash made many girls sad and cry like his wife Patricia and several fangirls and Murray misses one race with the replacement of an unnamed backup by the nickname "Windshield". Also, Cole Speedland returns here after his crash in the Easy Idle 400 at Nightdona.

It's one of the races of part-time racers Brush Curber, Rusty Cornfuel, Kevin Racingtire, and Billy Oilchanger, but not Haul Inngas.

Taylor Bendy wins with The King 2nd and Kraig Shiftright 3rd.

This was Ronald Oaks' final race alive. Ronald died in race 31 the Los Angeles 500 and was replaced by Joe Carbureski for the rest of 1987 before Ruby Oaks debuted. This was Bill Shields' final Virginia 500.

James Cleanair had a terrible engine and DNF due to him being a magnet face from 1985 to 1990.
