1990 Knoxville Nationals A-Main

[@mpatter4207]

My Grandfather, Dad and I were sitting in the backstretch grandstands that year. We lived 1 1/2 hrs from track and had been to see all of the Nationals from '78 to 2001. The 1990 show will have to be the most exciting for me. I was only 12yrs old that year. Wolfgang was a favorite of mine and to see him work the field the way he did all Saturday night is incredible. I learned then that through perseverance, determination and the refusal to give up will give plenty for people to talk about.

Thanks for putting this on here. I heard about this race decades ago and wanted to see it ever since. I just watched all 4 races and loved all of it.

[@swampnutz]

I was there. An amazing, but heartbreaking loss for a Slammin' Sammy fan.

Back in the glory days, awesome mustaches, mullets, cheap trucker hats great racing

[@SpeedBuggy92]

There was no one better than the American Sports Cavalcade crew. Best Knoxville ever.

[@alucard72]

Best Nationals ever !!! I taped this back in 1990.

[@tainaplagmann5569]

My first Knoxville Nationals. Sat in back stretch. Popular win by Bobby. He had an open trailer. I believe the last time the Nationals winner didn't have a enclosed hauler.

It's cool to see Bobby's team win Wed/Thurs night of the 2022 Nationals. Fingers crossed for Sat night.

[@mooker9999]

Thank you so much for posting this. Greatest nationals ever imo.

Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.

Great to see this. Its the only Nationals I've missed since I was 12 years old in 1982. Scruffy was always one of my favorites.

[@thevmanvj]

A great win by Bobby Allen jr.....only to be over-shadowed by "Wolfie's" improbable run through "the Alphabet Soup" ..... all the way from the D-Main to finish 5th in the A-Main. What a Knoxville Nationals!!

[@Mistertbones]

Very popular win for Bobby Allen and a great showing by Doug Wolfgang.

[@edarmm6265]

Thank you for sharing, great race.

[@justcallmejoeable]

i was at this race. wasnt even a year old but I was there.

[@RobTheNotary]

I remember watching Bobby Allen Drive modified at Reading

[@michaelbailey1578]

This was great. Thanks for posting. I wholly agree with Mr. Forrester, These announcers were also great. Watching more recent Vids of WoO races is no fun at all for me with that screeching, snotty-nosed kid they use now. Sprint car racing is wxciting in it's own right, it doesn't need a screemy mimi to tell us.

[@Slinger43]

Had a great friend named Dave West that worked for Ed Pink & later Keith Black. Kinser was my guy from like 79 & Diamond Dave would always shake his head then say "Naw, Bubby Allen was the best" Don't know why, but he always called him "Bubby" 🤷🏻‍♂️ LOL! Well, on this night in Knoxville, Ol' Diamond Dave was right! 💪😎

[@Davewilliamson5w]

A hero!! My Hero!

[@rustyangel3631]

Great race. Bobby Allen owned that inside corner.

[@Holden308]

Ironically Steve Kinser would win the next 5 nationals (91-95) and Mark Kinser would win the 1996 Race.

[@giff427dg]

Wow no way
