The 1983 Buick Regal and Bobby Allison
Buick’s first season didn’t come until 1981, and it was a rocket launch. Darrell Waltrip won the championship in a Buick with 12 wins and 21 top-five finishes.
The runner-up, Bobby Allison, drove a Regal as well. And that wasn’t all: more Buicks filled out the top 10. Harry Gant secured 3rd place, Terry Labonte took fourth, Ricky Rudd sixth, and Richard Petty (who drove a Buick only in that one season) finished 8th in the overall standings. What a start!
During that racing season Buick scored 25 individual race wins, followed “closely” by Chevrolet with a whopping three wins.
In 1983 the other manufacturers closed the gap a little, but still couldn’t match Buick’s success. That season’s champion once again drove a Buick Regal: Bobby Allison.
Darrell Waltrip had switched to Chevrolet and finished second in the championship, and Harry Gant took seventh place.
In the following season, Bobby Allison also scored two individual wins for himself and Buick.
