1984 Pocono 400

The 1984 Pocono 400, race 14 out of 36 in the 1984 Piston Cup season, is best known for Bill Brady's extremely lucky win. Considered perhaps the luckiest ever. On the 185th lap a piece of paper had hit leader Johnathan Melter on the eye, it caused him to lose control and he spun into Claude Scruggs and Ron Pitcar. Bill Brady then won the race and celebrated his luckiest win.

Melter had a huge out burst where he fought with the Mood Springs pit and injured Wide Mood Springs Pitty. Part-time racers Brush Curber, Larry Smith, Rusty Cornfuel, and Haul Inngas all enter, but not Crusty Rotor.

Don't forget the big one that happened on lap 122 involving racers Tom Landis, Eugene Carbureski, Alex Quint, Dale Earnhardt Sr, James Cleanair, Larry Smith, Harold Axel and backup racer Ryan Shields (he was the View Zeen backup from 1982 to 1985 and also in 1987). None of those racers were replaced.

Scruggs and Pitcar didn't miss any races. It's also known for Sammy Smelter making one of his rare finishes!

Ryan replaced Bill because he missed one race after crashing in The King 400.

Both Brady and Melter now hate each other after this incident.

Ned: Oh my god. That was painful for Ryan and Larry.

(No team radio, just racers talking)

Ryan (weakly): What happened?

View Zeen Crew Chief: You crashed.

Ryan (weakly): Ugh I feel bad. Larry? Eugene? Tom? Alex? James? Dale? What happened here? I'm so lonely? I have no clue where I am? (His voice loses weakness) Am I in Pocono?

View Zeen Pitty: Yes.

Ryan: Hello?

James (weakly): Hey Ryan.

Ryan: Who called me Ryan?

James (weakly): You're Ryan Shields and I called you Ryan due to the name. I'm Cleanair myself, remember?

Ryan: Oh, I forgot quickly.

The King: Hi, Ryan.

Ryan: Hey, King. I'm sure you must be winner of this race. Oh, I forgot the race isn't over yet!

The King: Nevermind.

### Paper

Ken: OH NO! TROUBLE TURN 1! JONATHAN MELTER GETS HIT BY PAPER ON HIS EYE! JONATHAN CRASHES INTO CLAUDE SCRUGGS AND RON PITCAR! Bill Brady takes the lead, Alloy Wilson is 2nd, The King Strip Weathers 3rd and Don Chapcar 4th. Chick Hicks is 5th.

Ned: I have never seen anything like that in my LIFE!

Ken: Let's watch that again.

(Replay in slow motion)

Ken: A sheet of paper which belonged to a fan was blown by the wind, whose a green Chevrolet Camaro, which is a 1983 model, hits Jonathan in the eye. Then he spun and took out Scruggs and Pitcar. Suddenly, Scruggs flipped once and lands on his wheels. No fire, but a bit of smoke. Scruggs is calling for Misti as of now I believe.

(Back live)

Ned: OMG! STACY AND EARL ARE GONNA CRY!
