Race #14 - Yount 200

The NASCAR Busch Grand National Series made their 14th stop of the 1984 season in Hickory, North Carolina, the site of the Hickory Motor Speedway for the Yount 200.

Jack Ingram led the field to the Green Flag but it would be Ronnie Silver who would lead the first lap before Jack Ingram would retake it a lap later. Ingram's stay up front would be short lived as well before Brad Teague would take command. Much of the race was a good battle all over as Teague lapped drivers and kept a five second lead on everyone, losing the lead only during a round of pit stops and appeared well on his way to scoring his first ever NASCAR Busch Grand National Series win.

However a lone caution with less then fifty laps to go would set up a dash to the finish as Tommy Houston, who led briefly during the pit stops, would take the lead and would go on to score his second win in a row at Hickory.

Other Noticeables:
Tommy Houston scored his 3rd win of the year,
Houston led 2 times for 34 laps, including the final 32 laps,
It was the 9th win of his career in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series and his first since Darlington; 9 races ago,
