In addition to his many short-track wins, Balough also won the 1981 Miller High Life 300 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Dale Earnhardt came in a close second. Bob Rahilly of RahMoc Racing built the engines for both of these races.[2] He started an average of 21st place and finished an average of 25th while bringing home a career grand total of $90,900 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|90900|1992|r=2}}}} when adjusted for inflation).[1] Balough's only DNQ was at the 1991 Daytona 500.[1][6] He served a sentence of 45½ months in jail for drug trafficking; which basically ended his career along with his marriage.[1][3] A ride with Harry Ranier's team was in the works along with a sponsorship from Domino's Pizza that would have paid him $750,000 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|750000|1986|r=2}}}} when adjusted for inflation) for having their name appear on his car for 25 races.[3] Robert Yates created the motors that helped Balough become "on top of his game.[3]" After his jail sentence expired, Balough still had access to his children and could still practice his hobby of fishing.[3] His first racing event after the end of his jail sentence was a 200-lap "All-Pro" race in Summerville, South Carolina where he earned the pole position and won the race.[3] Gary Balough has won more than 1000 races throughout his career and has accumulated more than 20 wins in the All-Pro division.
