Dale Earnhardt commented over his radio that it was "The first time I've ever run a night race at Daytona." If Dale only knew what would happen 7 years later... 4.

The #69 of Phil Parsons (Los Gatos Ferrari) was owned by Brent Kaeding (or whoever owned the cars he normally drove). Kaeding was a Winston West driver of the time. Not sure of the back-story behind this failed attempt with Parsons, but I'm pretty confident in saying that the car was owned by whomever owned Brent's cars. (sorry for being vague, but my phone won't let me search for drivers on this site so I can't look it up myself) 5.

I do remember that that once happened with Tom Cherry at the old Daytona Beach and Road Course in I think 1953, where he had both 38 and 120 on the car (38 was what he used in the NASCAR race, 120 was used for the Carrera Panamericana, as it was the same car used in both) but I doubt it could have happened as late as 1991. 11.

Too bad a seagull with a death wish would hurt his chances of victory come Sunday. 17.

This race marked his final shot at the 500, having last qualified in 1981, with he and his white #39 Ford Thunderbird being flagged off the track after just six laps; although still finishing in front of Cup series regular Morgan Shepherd after he blew a motor just after the start. Wangerin would run an ARCA race later in the season and attempt another before finally hanging up his helmet for good. His T-Bird from this race ended up spending 26 years in a barn before reemerging in 2017. 18.
