1979 at Martinsville. Still in dispute with STP over sponsorship dollars. Ran a primarily blue car at Marty until terms were settled and the traditional scheme returned.

DOH! You are right. I sat right here and typed Marty knowing full well it was Richmond. Saw your comment & felt like an idiot (spoken in best Napoleon Dynamite voice). Makes perfect sense too because Richmond was generally 2nd or 3rd race of the season back then - when STP and PE were still tangling. Marty was/is in late April & both sides had kissed & made up by then. Thanks for setting me straight.
