Rookie of the Year edit
Kenny Wallace won the first Busch Series Rookie of the Year Award ever given, posting sixteen top-ten finishes and winning three poles. Bobby Hamilton and Jeff Burton, both of whom would later go on to win the award in Winston Cup, finished second and third in the standings, respectively. Dave Rezendes, Robert Pressley, and Brandon Baker were the only other full-time contenders, as Dave Simpson, Ed Ferree, and Tom Harrington only ran a limited schedule
Additional Information edit
On September 30, 1990, less than 1 year after becoming champion, Rob Moroso was killed in an automobile crash near Mooresville, North Carolina, only hours after finishing 21st in the NASCAR Winston Cup Holly Farms 400 at North Wilkesboro Speedway.[1] Traveling at estimated 75 mph (121 km/h),[2] Moroso lost control of his vehicle on a curve with a 35 mph (56 km/h) posted speed limit. The resulting collision killed both Moroso and Tammy Williams, the driver of the vehicle in the opposite lane.[1] The curve in which Moroso was killed is now called Dead Mans Curve, by the townspeople of Mooresville, NC.
Investigations revealed that he had been driving under the influence of alcohol.[2] His blood alcohol level was 0.22, over twice the then legal level of 0.10.[3] He also had been convicted of speeding four times.[2] Judges could have revoked his license at least twice but the charges were reduced.[2]
Moroso earned enough points after completing just 25 of 29 NASCAR Winston Cup races that he was posthumously awarded the Raybestos NASCAR Rookie of the Year Award in 1990.
