Some extras in the bump...

In 1993, Rick Hendrick and Jeff Gordon got together to form a long, successful career. In 1971, another Hendrick and Gordon came together for a less than successful afternoon. - Spartanburg Herald
Notes report from Spartanburg Herald
Ray Hendrick, pictured crashing above, was a Richmond modified standout brought in by Rockingham promoter and Ellerbe, NC peach trucking magnate, L.G. DeWitt to draw more Virginia fans to the race. DeWitt owned the Benny Parsons #72 and put Hendrick in an old Benny Parsons car from a previous season and numbered it #42 with sponsorship from Sonny Mallory's Mallorys Speed Shop in Richmond.
