8th caution - power outage
10th caution - 7 spun turn 4

Jeff Purvis joined the likes of Roberto Guerrero, Mark Martin & Aleks
Gregory in the "pace laps hall of shame" here when the polesitter had a
gear break on his car when shifting from first gear into second gear
upon getting going. Surprisingly, Purvis was quickly joined in the
garage by three more drivers with mechanical failures before the race
even hit the double-digit lap count mark.

This was right in line with the rest of Purvis' 1992 season. In 14
appearances, he started on the pole 6 times and lined up outside the top
ten just once. He had 5 wins, and 8th, a 13th and 7 DNFs - 6 being
mechanical.

Just after a lap 153 restart, the lights went out at the speedway. The
cars were able to come to a stop without incident and the race resumed
15 minutes later when all of the lights came back on...so make that two
bizarre occurrences on the evening for this race.

Bobby Gill won his first NASCAR All Pro race at Five Flags in 1991 and
wins here again in 1992 to get career win #2, a nice recover after his
last-place finish here in the Snowball Derby back in December. This was
the first of five wins for the short track ace in 1992 and his first All
Pro win in the #71 Italiano's Subs and Pizza Chevy.
