With the series returning to Pocono this weekend and some new photos recently hitting my inbox, I decided to write a blog entry about the 1980 Coca-Cola 500. Its hard for me to recall a ton of memorable Pocono races or moments. Tim Richmond's return to victory lane, the nutcase running across the track in front of Kyle Petty, Davey's wild wreck, Jeremy's bump and run of Earnhardt, annnnnd well ... that's just about it.

But in looking back, the 1980 race had many story lines to it. Hope you enjoy.

King's daughter Rebecca even sported the same shirt that same spring at Wilkesboro.
