Foundational Bricks—The 1994 Brickyard 400: Pole Position, Rick Mast




Join me as I take a look back every Monday at the starting lineup for one of the biggest races in NASCAR history, the inaugural Brickyard 400.

Starting 1st: Rick Mast #1 Skoal Precision Products Racing Ford


Finished: 22nd

Career Highlights: This pole position, a handful of top-fives in middling equipment, nearly took over for Dale Earnhardt, made only known reference to underwear in a post-crash interview.


Total Brickyard 400 Starts: 7


Best Brickyard 400 Finish: 8th (1995)


1994 Fun Fact: Rick’s race team was one of many to start on Hoosier tires in 1994, only to switch to Goodyear by season’s end.  The switch not only provided what was thought to be a more-durable racing tire via Goodyear, but prevented Mast from having to wear that weird purple neckband thing Hoosier always handed out.
