Rob Moroso's third consecutive win at Charlotte. His Busch Series
finishes here are 28th (crash), 7th, 4th, 1st, 1st, and 1st. He made his
Cup debut here in 1988, finishing 14th in a Hendrick car, and a year and
a half later he finished 26th, due to an engine failure.

The only other driver to match Moroso's feat is Mark Martin.

Jeff Purvis debuts in this race as well, naturally in a car fielded by

Rob Moroso scores his 6th and final Busch series victory before his
untimely death.

Half his career wins came at Charlotte

R.I.P. Rob Moroso, we miss you

Some (if not all) DNQs plus cars:
Dave Rezendes- #79 K.R. Rezendes, Inc. Oldsmobile (owned by Dave Rezendes)
Don Jenkins- Oldsmobile
Ronnie Silver- Pontiac
Larry Pollard- #95 Kirby Racing Oldsmobile
Eric Wilson- Oldsmobile
Brian Ross (NY)- Chevrolet
Jimmy Hensley- #70 Huffman Racing Buick (owned by Dwight Huffman)
Mike Porter- #35 Oldsmobile
Ed Ferree- #49 Pontiac (owned by Ed Ferree)
Wayne Patterson- #14 W.O. Grubb, Inc. Pontiac
Jamie Aube- #41 Buick (owned by Allen Avery)
John Linville- Chevrolet
Randy MacDonald- Pontiac

All of these drivers failed to qualify after Charlotte's infamous
"Hooligan" Last Chance Race. Phil Parsons won with Jimmy Spencer, Donny
Ling Jr., and Jeff McClure also claiming the top positions to make it
into the big race.

Tommy Houston started this race from the back after missing the drivers
meeting. Early in the race he ran over debris from another car leading
to the engine problems that took him out of the race.

He points to this race, rather than the finale at Martinsville, as the
one that really cost him the title that year.
