1988 Daniel 500 (Cars 95 universe)

The 1988 Daniel 500, nicknamed "The **Death of Don Chapcar",**was a race held and a very tragic occurrence at Daniel Raceway. It took place on Sunday, August 21st, 1988. The crash ended Alex Quint's career and ended Don Chapcar's life. The event occurred in the speedway's turn 3 when Mike Seasons lost control of his car and hit Alex while drafting with Don. Don then accidentally turned right and hit the metal fence, causing Don and Alex to crash outside the speedway. After both cars flew off the track, Alloy Wilson takes the lead and Seasons finishes 12th. It's one of the races of all part-time racers. Thomas Tanrev was not able to compete, due to himself being hurt from a helicopter accident.

Alloy Wilson won with Dale Earnhardt second and Davey Carllison third.

### The Death of Don Chapcar

Pinkie: TROUBLE! ALEX QUINT MAKES CONTACT WITH THE KING! HE HITS DON CHAPCAR! CHAPCAR FLIES AND COLLECTS COLE SPEEDLAND! SPEEDLAND'S AIRBORNE! OH MY GOD! ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I'M SEEING?!

Spike: I DON'T BELIEVE THIS! CHAPCAR AND QUINT FELL OUT THE SPEEDWAY!

Pinkie: Oh god they better not die, four races ago we just lost- OH NO! I'M GONNA VOMIT! BLEHHHHHHH!

Spike: Don't mention him Pinkie! Twilight told you that you might be possibly suffering from PTSD after that crash. Take it easy and don't mention him, you seem to vomit if you do.

Pinkie: But!

Spike: ***I DON'T CARE***! Even the Landis family said it, you were traumatized by this. You are undergoing treatment during breaks between races.

Pinkie: But I'm still worried for those two! What if they die! Will I get worse?!

(Pinkie starts to cry)

Spike: Well, never mind at all. It's Alloy Wilson for the win and the crowd is so silent here at Daniel Raceway. Here goes nothing here at the Tank Coat team radio.

(Chapcar radio)

Wells: Guys, what the (Popeye toot) is Chapcar doing here?!

(No radio, just racers and teams talking)

Quint (weakly): I'm fine.

Wells: Chapcar! Chapcar!

(Wells Roundabout cries hard)

Spike: Let's cheak in the replay.

(Replay)

Spike: You see the 31 car of Alex Quint as he makes contact with The King.

Pinke: That's because Alex was trying to fallow Dale Earnhardt, and he didn't know The King was there. The contact causes The King to fall back positions. Alex then spins and collects Don Chapcar, causing Alex to flip over. Also, Don hits Cole Speedland before he goes airborn. That seens Alex and Don out of the track.

### Alex Quint Quits

Alex: Is Ms. Lazuli there?

Lapis: Yes I'm here. What is it?

Alex (cries): I'm done with racing. I've just lost my best friend Don and Tom Landis died 4 races ago. Also, I got involved in the crash.

Lapis: You don't mean it, do you?

Alex: I mean it. I just can't go on. My best friend just DIED! Just tell Mr Armstrong he can replace me for the 1988 Michigan 400.

Lapis (sad): Ok. I will tell Dale Carrett the news.

Dale: Ok, I'm going to...

Lapis: Excuse me, you have to replace Taylor Bendy starting in the 1988 Michigan 400.

Dale: Ok, I will my friend. Your name?

Lapis: Lapis Lazuli.

Dale: Ok. Lapis.

Lapis: Ok, back to you Pinkie and Spike! Spike is telling news at Pinkie about that.

Spike: The news on Chapcar's death is he just died.

Pinkie (crying): I'M STILL CRYING BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT CHAPCAR! THIS IS THE WORST RACE EVER! I QUIT!

(Pinkie leaves and Twilight arrives)

Twilight: Hey Spike. What's the matter?

Spike: Pinkie has quit so please help me with the rest.
