BackWhat ever happened to ... DNQs of the '94 Brickyard? (cont'd)

Bob Brevak
Another Wisconsonite, Brevak won the 1990 ARCA championship and competed full time in the first two seasons of the Truck Series, finishing 15th in the 1996 season standings at age 49. After retiring from driving, Brevak continued to enter trucks up through the 2008 season. Kevin Cywinski scored half of the team's career 14 top-10 finishes in the 1999 season, running fourth at Martinsville and third at Bristol.

Gary Bettenhausen
Bettenhausen came within 24 laps of winning the 1972 Indianapolis 500 -- and fulfilling his father's dreams -- before an ignition failure knocked his car out of the race while he was leading. The two-time USAC sprint car and Silver Crown dirt track champion made a total of 21 Indy 500 starts, with a best finish of third in the 1980 race, after starting in the 11th and last row. He made a total of eight Cup starts, three in 1967 and five more for Roger Penske in 1974, finishing fourth at Michigan in his final race. He retired as a driver after participating in CART's 1996 U.S. 500 at Michigan.

Brad Teague
Teague's last Cup start came in 1994 but he has continued to race at the Nationwide Series level ever since. His lone victory came at Martinsville in 1987, the season he finished seventh in the points. After celebrating his 60th birthday, Teague ran 15 races for Jimmy Means in 2008, with a best finish of 22nd at Darlington.

Mike Wallace
Middle brother of the three racing Wallaces from Missouri, Mike made his Cup debut in 1991 and was in the middle of his first full-time season in 1994. He would go on to finish fifth in that season's finale at Atlanta. He had a spirited side-by-side battle with eventual winner Jeff Burton at Phoenix in 2001 and a surprising fourth-place finish in the 2007 Daytona 500. A four-time winner in the Nationwide Series, Wallace was eighth in the 2008 point standings but found himself without a full-time ride at the beginning of 2009. Daughter Chrissy ran six races in the Truck Series in 2008, with a best finish of 18th at Martinsville.

Robert Pressley

Robert Pressley
Pressley had won nine Busch Series races over a three-year period before getting the call to the Cup Series in 1994. He scored five top-five finishes in 205 career starts, with his last coming in the 2002 Daytona 500. He won a pair of Truck Series races in 2002, and retired from driving after the 2005 season. As of 2008, Pressley was working as a driver development coach for JTG Racing, with son Coleman in the cockpit.

Jeff Davis
Davis, of Anaheim Hills, Calif., was a rookie on the Winston West circuit although he already had two Cup starts. On the strength of five top-five finishes, he finished fourth in the 1994 point standings and was still running full time as recently as 2003. Davis' final Cup start -- at Sonoma in 1997 -- was somewhat odd. Financially strapped Melling Racing couldn't afford to make the cross-country trip to California, so they allowed Davis to use their No. 9 in order to earn owners' points. He wound up crashing after 60 laps and was credited with 37th.

Bob Schacht
Schacht made only 23 Cup starts over a seven-year span, but he is remembered more for his ARCA career, winning a total of 18 races, including six times at Pocono, one of which came when he beat a young Davey Allison to the checkered flag in 1983. In addition, Schacht is responsible for a suit cooler used by several top-level series and was part of the design and construction team of the cars used in the movie "Days of Thunder." He currently owns and operates Bob Schacht Motorsports.

Ron Hornaday
Hornaday was coming into his own in 1994, winning four Winston West races and finishing second in the standings. That earned him a shot in the fledgling Truck Series the following year, and he made the most of the opportunity, running third that season, then winning the 1996 series championship. Hornaday added titles in 1998 and 2007, and is currently leading the Camping World Truck points. In between, he made full-time forays into the Busch Series in 2003 and 2004, and ran a full Cup schedule in 2001, finishing 34th at Indianapolis.

Jerry O'Neil
The Upstate New Yorker ventured out of the ARCA ranks on occasion to run Cup races for owner Alan Aroneck. Between 1989 and 1993, he competed in 16 races, mainly at Pocono and Charlotte, with a career-best finish of 21st.

Scott Gaylord
Colorado's Gaylord was another Winston West regular who made the pilgrimage to Indy. He recorded 37 top-five finishes, including four seconds, but never was able to visit Victory Lane. In four Cup starts, his best finish was a 29th at Watkins Glen in 1993, driving for Jimmy Means. Gaylord, now 50, continues to race sporadically on the Nationwide Series circuit. He finished 32nd at Fontana with engine problems and blew a tire at Las Vegas, winding up 36th. Sons Ryan and Tripp are following in the family tradition.

Ken Bouchard
Bouchard, of Fitchburg, Mass., followed his older brother Ron into NASCAR's premier series and had similar success, winning rookie of the year honors in 1988. But four races into the 1989 season, Bouchard was replaced by Derrike Cope, and he made only four more Cup starts, the last one coming in the 1994 season-finale at Atlanta. He ran a handful of Truck races between 1996 and 1998 before retiring from the national spotlight. He currently operates a driving school at Thompson International Speedway in Connecticut.
