1988 NASCAR Winston Cup Series (Start Your Engines!)

The 1988 NASCAR Winston Cup Season was the 40th season of professional stock car racing in the United States and the 17th modern-era Cup series. The season began on February 7 at Daytona International Speedway and ended on November 20 at the Atlanta International Speedway.

The 1988 season was notable for hosting the first of two tire wars between Goodyear and Hoosier. It also saw the return of Chrysler to NASCAR. Chrysler had left the sport in 1984 after Pacific Coast Racing’s disastrous campaign that year.
