MISS BUSWEISER, driven by Dean Chenoweth, had won the prestigious trophy in 1980 & 1981. Chenoweth was killed later in the 1982 season while attempting to set a new speed record. ATLAS VAN LINES was driven by Chip Hanauer, who had taken over the seat after Bill Muncey was killed in the final event of the 1981 racing season. Chip Hanauer went on to win 10 more Gold Cups, holding the record to this day. Photo by Bob Greenhow.
