1985 Valleydale 500
Fans couldn’t ask for a better duo than Dale Earnhardt and Ricky Rudd to battle it out for a win at Bristol Motor Speedway, as the two combined to lead 377 out of the 500 laps in the 1985 Valleydale 500.
Somehow, someway, Earnhardt pulled through for the victory despite running the last 400 laps without power steering. Rudd ended up second after a late-race battle.
