Ricky Rudd had a hard crash at the 1984 Busch Clasch which caused his eyes to swell shut. A few days later he ran the Daytona 500 with his eyes taped open with duct tape.


He suffered a concussion and some broken ribs, and numerous bruises and cuts. His eyes were so swollen he couldn't keep them open. He ran the entire 84 Daytona 500 with them taped open and finished 7th in the race.

The following week he won at Richmond. Ricky Rudd was/is a tough SOB.
