Rockingham - Bobby Hamilton, Earnhardt moved him with bump and run and went
on to win the race. Bobby didn't wreck and finished 2nd I believe.
Loudon BGN - Nemechek, Earnhardt moved him, but got him a little more out of
shape than he intended. Earnhardt slowed down, waited for Joe to get
control of the car, let Joe get back in the lead before racing to the line.
Joe won.
Bristol - Rusty Wallace, Jeff Gordon moved him, and went on to win the race,
Rusty was 2nd I believe.

You also forgot to add races like the Bristol night event won by Terry
Labonte....where Dale was penalized and held on pit row for rough driving,
and then he proceeded to smash through the field bumping almost every driver
outta da way before a last lap kamikaze move that sent Labonte sliding from
the exit of turn 4 into the wall at turn 1.
