1988 Piston Cup Season

View source

The King, now the 1971, 1975, 1980, 1987, and 1988 Piston Cup champion

The 1988 Piston Cup Season was a Piston Cup season where The King won his fifth Piston Cup after he won his previous Piston Cup a year before. The 1988 season was widely considered to be the worst, saddest and most tragic season of all time mainly due to the deaths of two popular racers. Don Chapcar, champion in 1982 and 1985, and Tom Landis, who placed 3rd in the 1983 championship, who both died in the 1988 Daniel 500 and Pocono 400.
