� �After actively covering NASCAR for more than 40 years, I finally have to conceded that the fog of time has caused many of the race I saw to blend into the mist.
� �Several, of course, haven't.
� �The 1958 Southern 500 at Darlington...The 1979 Daytona 500...The 1980 World 600 at Charlotte...The 1988 Winston 500 at Talladega.� �And the Holly Farms 400 of Oct. 16, 1988 at North Wilkesboro.
� �The latter produced fireworks of a finish between Rusty Wallace, Phil Parsons and Geoff� Bodine, and a fire-breathing� feud between the late Dale Earnhardt and rival Ricky Rudd.
� �The action 20 autumns ago was rather typical for the .625-mile North Wilkesboro Speedway, and it's a main reason why so many fans continue to lament its closing in 1996.

� �That seasons's final Winston Cup Series event on a short track wound up as a throwback to the sport's rowdy old days on the smaller layouts, with a riled Rudd vowing vengeance against Earnhardt after a tangle that spoiled strong victory bids by both.
� �The two slapped sheet metal in turn one and again in turn three as they battled for the lead on the 361st of 400 laps.� They alternately had dominated to that point, with Rudd leading 154 laps and Earnhardt 107.
� � Rudd was on the inside, Earnhardt the outside when they first made contact.� Both temporarily lost control, but continued, with Rudd holding the lead.� Earnhardt, driving a� Chevrolet, popped Rudd's Buick in turn one on Lap 362, causing him to spin and bringing out the caution flag.
� �For the restart, NASCAR officials ordered both Rudd and Earnhardt to line up behind the other drivers on the lead lap--eventual winner Wallace, Bodine, Bill Elliott and Phil Parsons.� The penalties essentially ended the victory chances of both Rudd and Earnhard with so few laps remaining.� Never mind they had the two fastest cars, a fact Wallace conceded.
� �Bodine bumped Wallace's Pontiac� out of the way to take the lead in turn one on the final lap, but Wallace returned the shot to Bodine's Chevy in turn three and spurted ahead.� The Olds-drivng Parsons edged Bodine by inches for second place.
� �However, all eyes were on the garage area, not Victory Lane, at the conclusion.� What WOULD Earnhardt and Rudd do after finishing sixth and seventh respectively?� Get physical?
� �No, somewhat surprisingly, it turned out to be all-verbal.� But torridly.
� �Rudd accused Earnhardt of "a dirty move" and of "taking cheap shots.� He threatened to get even.
� �Earnhardt said, "Rudd hit me intentionally and wrecked my car."
� �Rudd continued: "Earnhardt went into the corner looking into his mirror and overdrove and I got around him clean.� My car was working good down ow, and that's where I was running.� He turned to the bottom of the track like he didn't even know I was there.� He wrecked himself.
� �"Then, he comes back and spins me in turn two, knocking my front end out of line.� Clearly, that was a dirty move.� Clearly, that was a dirty move.� NASCAR put us both at the rear and cost us a chance to win.� We got beat by a cheap shot.� If he wants to play this game, then he can forget the championship.� We have nothing to lose.� Next year, too, if he wants it.� I'm not going to be like some other drivers.� I'm not going to take this crap."
� �Added Earnhardt:� "Rudd turned me sideways in turn three.� Then I got into him.� I didn't mean to.� Even if I had, I didn't hit him any harder than he hit me.� I backed off so he could straighten out, but he spun anyway.
� �"Did they penalize Ricky when he spun me out the last time with four laps to go?� No.� He's the one that got rough.� I wasn't worried about the points race, I just wanted to win this race."
� �Rudd later was fined $6,000 by NASCAR for "over-aggressive driving."
� �The race's outcome left Earnhardt 188 points behind leader Bill Elliott in the chase for the Winston Cup Series championship with three races remaining.� Elliott, who finished fifth at North Wilkesboro that day, eventually won the title by� 1988 title by 24 points over Wallace.� � Earnhardt wound up third, 232 points behind.� However, Earnhardt reached seven championships, tying the record of Richard Petty, before losing his life in a 2001 Daytona 500 crash.
� �Rudd indeed later got a measure of revenge on Earnhardt.
� �During one of NASCAR's annual awards banquet in December at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, the top drivers were introduced and brought onstage.� All looked dandy in their tuxedoes.
� �Asked to comment, Rudd wittily said, "All of us had nice shiny shoes until we got backstage, then Earnhardt came in and walked all over us."
� �Earnhardt now was introduced and he came out with face glowing red in embarrassment.� He had no comeback.
� �Ricky Rudd had, in a humorous way, intimidated The Intimidator.
