This 1980 Olds 442 was raced only on super speedways in 1980, the year Dale Won his first of seven stock car series championships. Dale piloted this Rod Osterlund car (sponsored by Mike Curb/Hodgdon) in the firecrackers 400 in 1979 (race 20 at Talladega), his rookie season, finishing third. Mike Curb is questionably well known (at least) for the song "Burning Bridges", the title theme for the film Kelly's Heroes, recorded under the label Mike Curb Congregation. This yellow and blue paint scheme is similar to the 80 Monte Carlo with the difference in the Wrangler sponsorship not showing and the blue hood work being straight and not angled. The spoiler is apparent as is the chrome front bumper. This was the only Oldsmobile that Dale drove in his Winston Cup Career. The sole difference between this and the 1979-80 un sponsored incarnation is the spoiler color and the presence of the Mike Curb sponsorship.
