IROC VII

The final points standings were as follows:[1] Darrell Waltrip started on the pole position, with Bobby Allison on the outside of the front row.

As the field came across the start/finish line to complete lap 2, fourth place Mario Andretti triggered a huge pileup.

Andretti clipped the back of Waltrip's car, who then collected Neil Bonnett into the outside wall.

Andretti crashed to the inside wall, and a chain reaction wiped out almost the entire field.

Johncock was the only other car running, but 8 laps down due to damage sustained in the big crash.
