Swervin’ Irvan.
It became a nickname borne out of tire smoke, zigzag sheet steel and further ruffled feathers than anybody shall be in a position to ever count. Thanks mainly to on the least high-profile incidents — Darlington in 1990, then Talladega and Pocono the next year — the mark caught. It didn’t benefit matters in the least that two of those incidents left two fellow rivals injured and missing important time on the notice.
Neil Bonnett sustained head injuries at Darlington and didn’t power but again for 3 years, while Kyle Petty severely broke his left at Talladega.
Issues got right here to a head on the weekend of the 2nd Talladega tournament in 1991, when Irvan and crew owner Larry McClure were called to NASCAR’s mobile arena of job for an impromptu chewing out. It culminated in what many regarded as to be Irvan’s unprecedented apology at some level of the pre-speed drivers’ meeting.
That is Larry McClure’s narrative.
