1985 ASA Series Detroit News 200 at Michigan Speedway

Starting line up and first 10 laps of the ASA series when they ran the big 2 mile track of Michigan Speedway back in 1985. Dick Trickle, Mark Martin, Mike Eddy and Gary Balough are just some of the names you might know. Got the full race on DVD if anyone is interested. Shoot me an E-mail at [e-mail]

Used to go see ASA back in the day can't believe these cars ran superspeedways its a wonder no one get killed

[@suprchickn7745]

I remember a lot of these racers, met most of them at Columbus Motor Speedway back in the 80s. It's amazing that Mark Martin was so young then.

Peter Gibbons who is in this race use to run in the Canadian Cascar Super Series for quite a few years driving the #1 Canadian Tire Chevy.

No Bluebird? In his home state? Almost sacrilegious

[@jazzbo1974]

Does anyone have the full race I was at this race they had the indy car race before ASA ...

[@ronfox5519]

I think I was at this race also. We always took our camper into the infield

[@jazzbo1974]

They had a rain delay toward the middle of the race ....

The commentators said they were going faster than a Cup car! Was this true?

[@loveracing1988]

Lorenzo Haskins no, the grand national is the old Busch series.

[@badad0166]

Yes. They had better power to weight and higher top speed. Cup cars be heavy...

[@jefballard3]

Yes... they qualified faster than the Cup cars. Lot of power... no weight.
