Also the last Busch North start for regular Busch series vet Tommy Houston

most interesting stat to me: 18 cautions for 126 laps. That is insane in
a race scheduled to only be run 250 circuits.

Preliminary notes

Kelly Moore and Mike Barry actually tied for the fastest time, but Moore
was awarded the pole award.

There were 46 cars entered for 44 spots. Two cars went home.

There were three heat races plus a non-qualifiers race. The first heat
race consisted of only the top 10 drivers through pole qualifying. The
drivers were inverted from time trials for a 20-lap race. These drivers
would start 1-10 in the 250.
Finish: 1. Bobby Dragon, 2. Stanton Barrett, 3. Chuck Bown, 4. Mike
Weeden, 5. Kelly Moore, 6. Dick McCabe, 7. Billy Clark, 8. Mike Barry,
9. Ricky Craven, 10. Stub Fadden.

The second and third heat races were different from the first in that
the winners of each race started 11th and 12th, respectfully.
Second-place finishers were 13th and 14th and so on through positions 11-36.

The second 20-lap heat race had the top 13 finishers transfer to the 250.
There were three cautions.
First caution: Tony Hirschman and Babe Branscombe spun on the backstretch.
Second caution: Branscombe spun again.
Third caution: Jeff Spraker and Mike Olsen get together in turn three,
Morgan Shepherd piled into Spraker�??s nose.

Finish: 1. Bruce Haley, 2. Curtis Markham, 3. Mike Rowe, 4. Greg Sacks,
5. Tony Hirschman, 6. Jimmy Spencer, 7. Mike McLaughlin, 8. Tommy
Houston, 9. Babe Branscombe, 10. Ray Lee, 11. Barney McRae, 12. Mike
Olsen, 13. Scott Bachand

The third 20-lap heat race had the top 13 finishers transfer to the 250.
There were four cautions.
First caution: Lloyd Gillie spun in turn four.
Second caution: Rain
Third caution: Rain (red flag). Pete Silva was black flagged for some
reason.
Fourth caution: Martin Truex spun in turn two.

Joe Bessey was the class of the field with Dale Shaw not far behind. Two
cars trying to stay on the lead lap caused Bessey to slow down. Shaw
took advantage with two laps to go, grabbed the lead and went on to win
by just over half a car length over Bessey.

Finish: 1. Dale Shaw, 2. Joe Bessey, 3. Jamie Aube, 4. Ricky Harrison,
5. Dave Dion, 6. Kenny Wallace, 7. Terry Labonte, 8. Pete Silva, 9.
Glenn Sullivan, 10. Dean Ferri, 11. Lloyd Gillie, 12. Martin Truex, 13.
Mike Hovis

The �??Last Chance Race�?� had only six cars. Only the winner was
guaranteed a spot in the 250.
There was one caution:
First caution: Ernie Irvan blows up in the turn three.
Finish: 1. Bobby Gada, 2. Ron Lamell, 3. Chad Little, 4. Jeff Barry, 5.
Darren Bernier

DNQ:
Richard Messier No. 44 Pontiac
*Ernie Irvan No. 38 Buick

Irvan would take over Darren Bernier�??s No. 26 Pontiac for the 250.
Bernier qualified for the race, but Irvan didn�??t because of a blown motor.

It several years but this was the first true victory in Busch North for
a Ford driver.

The only two prior visits to victory lane in Busch North races by the
Blue Oval Boys were a pair of victories by Mark Martin in companion
races, he was running for Busch series points and not Busch North.

Stanton Barrett's car had both #33 (his regular number) and #83, which
it had been renumbered to 83 due to Ray Lee running the #33. The doors
had some pretty nice makeshift 8's, but the roof number wasn't changed
and remained 33.

In response to comment #4, caution laps didn't count in this race.
Therefore there were 250 green flag laps and 126 caution laps for a
total of 376 laps.

I remember this race as a young 18 year old. I was excited because we
were having Terry Labonte driving the car I was working on (Dave Lind #10).
