Dale Earnhardt did drive a 85 Yellow IROC

I just got a Hot Rod mag for 1985 and it had an article on IROC Racing cars in it.

Well for all of you Dale Earnhardt fans ( #3 ) and Yellow 85 IROC owners like me, Dale drove an 85 Yellow IROC ( IROC car #6 ) in one of the IROC Races that year.

Long LIVE #3

All the cars were irocs and every race the drivers change colors, so he not only drove yellow, he drove 3 other colors as well that year.

You have to like the yellow color. Always look nice on a thirdgen.

My favorite IROC would have to be a yellow '85 305 TPI with every option. Good to know Dale drove one, at least once As you can see by my sig, I was sorta a fan...
