My first IROC race ever. I remember how disappointed I was when
Earnhardt went out early in the race.

This was Little Al's first IROC race since the opener at Daytona and he
wins it.

Trans-Am racer Tommy Kendall scores his best IROC finish in 2nd

Hurley Haywood makes his final IROC start, it was also Ken Schraders
last as a regular but he returned for a one-off fill-in run in 2002.
Ricky Rudd would have to wait until 2001 to be invited back (although he
did a one-race fill in during 1996).

Also the final race for the IROC Dodge Avengers. The Mopars were put out
to pasture for 1996 and beyond as the series made the switch to Pontiac
Firebirds, the Pontiacs would hang around until the series ceased to be
following the 2006 season.

This race marked the end of the six-season relationship between IROC and
Dodge, a brand that otherwise had little to do with stock car racing
during the early-to-mid 1990s. Dodge first joined the series with the
Daytona as its racer in 1990 and ran them through 1993 before switching
to the then-new Avenger model for its last two seasons. Dodge departed
IROC in favor of Pontiac for 1996 but at the same time it did step up
its racing involvement in other areas, after a few Dodge Ram pickups
competed in 1995 during the inaugural season of NASCAR's new Truck
series the company stepped up that effort with factory support for 1996
and beyond while also starting a factory race team in the new North
American Touring Car Championship series.

This wasn't the last stock car race for the Avenger either. While no one
in NASCAR was running them in this era, Mopar wouldn't return there
until 2001, there were legal in several other series with a few of them
even running in ARCA. They were more common in lower ranks though
including CASCAR, ACT, and late models.
