How about Ricky Rudd and Bill Elliott

If it was a ford, it was a t-bird. Even after the fateful decision to discontinue the Bird, teams were given one year to make the change over and some busch teams continued usung them into 1999...........I was in SC in 2001, and whatched a regional race, and they were still using the T-birds from Nascar. I will get comprehensive list tonight.

Davey Allison drove a t-bird the year before he was killed as was Alan Kulwicki

Davey was one of the reasons I bought my black t-bird.

I was thinking about adding a Texaco logo to the hood when he was killed.

I bought my bird because of Rusty Wallace. Poor baby used to be covered in Rusty stickers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kulwicki drove the famous "UNDERBIRD". The front valance was always torn off of his cars. I met him in Talledega, the year before his death. The death of both he and Davey left a huge hole. Alan was the last of the true Underdogs................
Alan Kulwicki. Dec. 14, 1954 - Apr. 1, 1993

Davey Allison. February 25, 1961 - July 13, 1993

Alan Kulwicki

I always rooted for him.....It was cool to watch him in his white T-bird, in the lead, with the owl on the hood.....Hooters......Yea right.....Gota love it.... :D

One of the last successful owner / drivers.....

I liked his polish victory lap, which alot of the drivers still do....

I meet him here at Charlotte Motor Speedway....sorry.....Lowe's Motor Speedway......I'll never get used to corporate sponsorship of this race track. :D
 
If memory serves Jeff Gordon was in a T Bird for his first NASCAR race in 92 at the Hooter's 500. It was Richard Petty's last race and the one that won Kulwicki the Cup Championship. Jeff did run a T Bird in Busch for 2 years too. Also did not see the 96/97 provision...sorry but hard to imagine Gordon in a Ford.
