The longest lived car in Hylton Motorsports history would begin life in 1985 at Laughlin Racing Products in Gray Court SC.   The car was designed especially for NASCAR legend Bobby Allison and his Stavola Brothers team for usage in the 1986 season.  The chassis' main roll cage loop was moved back 1 1/2" farther than normal so that Allison could place the seat depper into the car.  The movement of the seat was done for both driver comfort and weight distribution.  The car was built with a three link hookup/short truck arm setup as well as provisions for a normal long truck arm setup.  Allison also added additional bracing to the front clip in order to reduce chassis twist in the corners.

The car was ran by Bobby Allison at 16 NASCAR Winston Cup Series races during the 1986 and 1987 season.  In January 1988, the car was purchased by Hylton Motorsports for driver Tony Spanos to use during the 1988 season.  The car would be named Shelia in honor of crew chief Terry Strange's wife.  In the cars first appearance, Spanos finished 25th in the first Daytona 125, a position that would not qualify for the Daytona 500.  The misfortune continued as Spanos (pictured at left with pit assistance from his girlfriend Sandy) and the team did not qualify for any of Winston Cup Series races entered during the 1988 season.  However, the team sat on the pole for the May 21st Kragen Auto Parts 200 at Mesa Marin Speedway with driver Ron Esau.  Esau led nearly half the Winston West Series race until a rear-end problem sidelined the Buick.

The 1989 NASCAR Winston Cup season began with Spanos running 24th in the second Daytona 125, a position that would not qualify him for the Daytona 500.  The cars next appearance would be the 96 Rock 500 at Talladega and it would prove to be successful.  Trevor Boys piloted the car to a second place finish and crew chief Terry Strange won the Permatex Crew Chief of the Race Award.  The Buick LeSabre soldiered on for 11 races during the 1989, 1990 and 1991 seasons until it was rebodied as a Pontiac Grand Prix in 1992.  The chassis would continue to run both NASCAR and ARCA events until it was wrecked beyond repair in  1998.
