The ''1986 Goodwrench 500'' was a NASCAR Winston Cup Series racing event that took place on March 2, 1986, at North Carolina Motor Speedway in the American community of Rockingham, North Carolina. A souvenir magazine of this race was handed out to the spectators at a cost of $5 USD per copy ($ when adjusted for inflation). A companion race known as the ''ProTecta Truck Bed Liner 200'' was done the previous day while a pit crew challenge was done the morning before the companion race. Pit crew members had to put tires and fuel on the vehicle in the fastest time possible in order to win a championship. ==Summary== It took four hours and nine minutes to resolve 492 laps of racing on a paved track spanning .〔 The race started at noon and ended approximately at 4:09 P.M..

Darrell Waltrip would also take the points lead away from Geoff Bodine after this race.〔 The increased fuel efficiency of the Oldsmobile vehicle driven by Labonte allowed him to spend less time on pit road due to the lighter weight of the materials needed to make the FWD vehicle as opposed to the rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles driven by most of his competitors. Only manual transmission vehicles were allowed to participate in this race; a policy that NASCAR has retained to the present day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1986 Goodwrench 500」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
