Ricky Rudd suffered torn ligaments in his left knee in a hard crash
during the second segment. Mike Alexander relief drove for Rudd during
the Coca-Cola 600 the next weekend.

Tim Richmond elected not to run due to the ongoing dispute and pending
lawsuit he had with NASCAR after testing positive for a banned substance
earlier that year at Daytona, hence the 19 car field.

Lake Speed had a strong showing in the race but hit the wall in the
final segment and fell out of the race.

Terry Labonte wins the first of his two all-star races...

This race came in the middle of a Goodyear/Hoosier tire war with Texas
Terry and the Junior Johnson crew siding with Goodyear. The Goodyears
brought to this race had a tendency to start coming apart after about 10
laps, a blown one bit Dale Earnhardt, but #11 was able to take advantage
of this as the last segment of the race is only 10 laps long. Labonte
charged past Bill Elliott early in the last segment, making the move
just as Lake Speed crashed, and drove on to win.

@8
That's a cool museum. Judging by the picks online they have a lot of
race cars along with just cool cars in general including a DeLorean, a
Buick GSX, and an Amphicar.
