Park started 2nd, led 2 laps, and finished 3rd at Richmond one month
before.

Only time a major NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway didn't have a
field of 43 cars. Only 42 were in this race.

Mark Martin was having a great weekend. After winning this Busch race
he'd take the lead in the Cup race the next day only to grenade his
motor while leading on lap 143

Obviously with field size shrinkage and changes to the number of cars in
a race #7s fact from 12 years ago is no longer accurate.

This was the first-ever NASCAR race at the brand-new Texas Motor
Speedway, kicking off the track's first weekend of professional action.
Series regular Mike McLaughlin led the most laps but this one came down
to a three-way fight between Cup Series racers Mark Martin, Jimmy
Spencer, and Jeff Burton. Martin didn't lead until 13 laps to go when he
passed Spencer with a move on the backstretch that Burton almost took
three-wide. Once he got out in front Martin's Winn-Dixie #60 Ford
wouldn't be caught en route to the historic win.

Ken Squier, Ned Jarrett and Darrell Waltrip were the commentators. Dr.
Dick Berggren, Mike Joy and Ralph Sheheen were the pit road reporters.
