Race #16 - Roses Stores 200
The NASCAR Busch Grand National Series made their 16th stop of the 1984 season in South Boston, Virginia, the site of the South Boston Speedway for the Roses Stores 200.
Points leader Sam Ard led the field to the Green Flag for the second race in a row at South Boston but unlike the previous South Boston event, Ard would be challenged. Championship rival Tommy Houston was on Ard's back bumper nearly every lap as the two would swap the lead several times over the event's first two hundred laps. Ard would lose the lead briefly while pitting to both Houston and Jimmy Hensley, but once the last caution came out, Ard was on cruise control, lapping all but himself, Geoffrey Bodine and Jimmy Hensley to score yet another win at South Boston.
Other Noticeables: Sam Ard scored his 5th win of the year, Ard led 5 times for 251 laps, including the final 125 laps, It was the 18th win of his career in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series and his first since the last South Boston event; 4 races ago, Sam Ard, who finished 1st, kept his points lead, leading Tommy Houston by 128 points

Race #17 - Miller 200
The NASCAR Busch Grand National Series made their 17th stop of the 1984 season in Rougemont, North Carolina, the site of the Orange County Speedway for the Miller 200.
Championship contender Tommy Houston led the field to the Green Flag for the second race in a row at Orange County but unlike the previous Orange County event, Houston was untouchable as he quickly began to pull away from the field and by lap thirty he began to lap drivers. Due to the lack of cautions drivers had only one chance to try and tune their cars to catch Houston but no one had anything for him as Houston would lead every single lap to score his fourth win of the season.
Other Noticeables: Tommy Houston scored his 4th win of the year, Houston led 1 time for 200 laps, including all 200 laps, It was the 10th win of his career in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series and his first since Hickory; 4 races ago, Sam Ard, who finished 3rd, kept his points lead, leading Tommy Houston by 113 points

Race #18 - Goody's 200
The NASCAR Busch Grand National Series made their 18th stop of the 1984 season in Hickory, North Carolina, the site of the Hickory Motor Speedway for the Goody's 200.
Championship contender Tommy Houston led the field to the Green Flag for the second race in a row as he was looking to win back-to-back races after leading every single lap two weeks earlier at Orange County. However unlike at Orange County, Houston's lead would last only one lap before Brad Teague would power his way into the lead and he began to pull away just like Houston had done at Orange County. Just like at Orange County drivers would have only one chance to tune their cars and it was Jack Ingram who would make a gamble.
With Ingram win less so far in 1984, his team decided to make a risky gamble, deciding to make only a two tire stop while others took four. With Tommy Houston's team struggling and losing a lap late, Ingram rode around the track at half speed, saving his tires as a late caution with less then thirty to go set up a shootout. Ingram got a great jump on the restart and was able to pull away while the other drivers were stuck in lap traffic and Ingram drove to his first win of 1984.
Other Noticeables: Jack Ingram scored his 1st win of the year, Ingram led 1 time for 80 laps, including the final 80 laps, It was the 8th win of his career in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series and his first since 1983 also at Hickory; 20 races ago, Sam Ard, who finished 2nd, kept his points lead, leading Tommy Houston by 174 points
1.11-Jack Ingram (80 laps led) 2.00-Sam Ard 3.38-Brad Teague (119 laps led) 4.07-Dickie Boswell 5.14-Ronnie Silver-1 lap 6.04-Eddie Falk-1 lap 7.21-Larry Pearson-1 lap 8.62-John Linville-1 lap 9.2-Jeff Hensley-1 lap 10.9-Bob Shreeves-1 lap 11.43-Dickie Linville-1 lap 12.51-Robert Ingram-1 lap 13.99-Rick Mast-2 laps 14.32-Dale Jarrett-2 laps 15.96-Ronnie Davidson-2 laps 16.10-L.D. Ottinger-2 laps 17.41-Jack Bland-3 laps 18.6-Tommy Houston-3 laps (1 lap led) 19.24-Glenn Jarrett-3 laps 20.53-Tim McGuire-4 laps 21.45-Charlie Luck-5 laps 22.4-Joe Thurman-6 laps 23.85-Lowe Smith-6 laps 24.16-Jimmy Lawson-24 laps (Piston)
