The last of three IROC races for 2-time World Champion Graham Hill. He
was killed along with several other people in a plane crash later in the
year. He was the father of 1996 F1 Champion Damon Hill.

Bobby Allison won this race after breaking his back in the previous
day's race. He left the hospital on his own, without the doctor's
permission.

Part of the reason Allison was so determined to be in this race he drove
it with a broken back was the car he was scheduled to drive. IROC cars
were supposed to be equal but the black #7 Camaro was thought by some to
have an edge since it had won the first two races, including the prior
day's race with Emerson Fittipaldi at the wheel, prompting him to decide
he wouldn't miss his chance to drive it. His doctor told him that he
could race if he wanted but advised against it noting the serious risk
of further injury or death. Allison went for it and brought the #7 home
as the #1 finisher.
