NASCAR career

In 1987 and 1988, he also made 5 Winston Cup starts. He debuted in 1987, driving for Curb Racing at Talladega. Starting a year-long best 30th, Pimm led one lap and settled for a 27th-place effort after an engine issue. His run earned him two more races for the team, finishing 34th after an engine issue at Daytona and then crashed to 42nd in the season finale at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Pimm returned to the team in early 1988, running two races. He made the prestigious Daytona 500, starting 40th but ending with a career-best 24th place showing. It was also his only race in Cup competition that he was running at the end. Two weeks later, at Rockingham, Pimm started a career-best 29th before crashing to 34th.

Pimm never returned to NASCAR after that race.

gollark: Your definition of software is a wrong, surface-level view.
gollark: I say "programs" because there are a few background daemons running for various random tasks.
gollark: This is software. It's programs running within an (emulated) CC computer.
