In 1994, Mark Martin lead most of the race and should have won the Nationwide race at Bristol. However, he pulled into the pits on the white flag lap, thinking the race was over. This gave the win to the second-place driver, David Green. Always a MM fan, but that was silly.

That mistake was and is still a classic. Also been a fan of Mark,since the early 90s when Eurosport was showing some NASCAR sometimes. Ernie Irvan was another driver i cheered for.
