This was the last year of the Wrangler sponsorship that had been with Dale since 1980. In this final year of the Wrangler primary sponsorship, Dale pulled his amazing "pass in the grass" maneuver at the annual All Star race at Charlotte in this car after 'wrestling' with Bill Elliot for several laps.This is also the car in which Dale captured his 3rd of 7 eventual championship titles. You can see that during these years, the car bodies were much closer to the street versions, with identifiable grills and headlight areas, although glass headlights had been removed by this time. This was the fastback version of the Monte Carlo. GM Goodwrench had increased its sponsorship, as can be seen by the decal on the deck lid. The window and angle frames had no sponsorship. Dale would dominate this Championship, winning by 489 points over contender Bill Elliot. This is the greatest point spread in the modern era.
