I believe Berrier was in the # 63 that Trickle drove in the 500

I believe that Bown was in the 95 car and that Jay Sauter was driving
the 40 car as that was the second team for Sabco.

Lake Speed's lone career pole in a NASCAR sanctioned race.

Top 5 all transfered into the Winston Select.

Michael Waltrip would become the first driver to come out of the Open to
win the All-Star race later in the night.

Steve Seligman was probably in the #57, he attempted a few of the bigger
races including the Pepsi 400 later in the year with that team.

Robby Faggert was in car #02, Greg Sacks was in car #35

Verify
Bown was in #95, Barrier was in #63 (and it was Trickle's Daytona team),
Jay Sauter had #40, Seligman was in the #57

Robbie Faggert, at the time just a driver in the now defunct Sportman
series, stunned everyone with a 7th place qualifing run. A blown motor
would end his brief flitation. This was his only Cup series event.

Robert Pressley was injured in a practice crash so Andy Hillenburg took
over the #33 Skoal Chevy for this race. He made it just five laps before
putting it backward into the wall and triggering a multicar crash that
also eliminated Greg Sacks.

A small typo, Spencer drove the #23 not the #25. ;)

Jay Sauter's #40 was a Chevrolet, not a Pontiac. I have a 1:64th scale
diecast model of it. It was a First Union Bank promo car that came in a
small plastic bag like you would find a McDonald's Happy Meal toy come in.

How do you DNQ for an OPEN race? My mind is blown...

Dion: Both Compton and Bradberry are listed as "DNF" on the official
qualifying sheet. I presume that since they didn't set a time, they
didn't make the field.

Trickle did not crash; the gas pedal fell off(!) and after running a lap
down for a time he simply parked it. Musgrave retired due to handling
difficulties resulting from the lap 5 accident.

Laps led: Speed 30, Spencer 20

Only incident of the day happened early when Andy Hillenburg was
underneath Wally Dallenbach when the air off Dallenbach caused his car
to break loose and back it into the wall. He came back down the track
and Sacks and Musgrave got into each other trying to dodge Hillenburgs
crashed car.

Hillenburg was subbing for the injured Pressley who I believe cracked a
couple ribs the day before in preparation for this race.

Robbie Faggart had a brief moment in the sun in this race and even got a
call out from the announcers, starting in the top 10 and was even
creeping towards the transfer spot when his engine failed.

Johnny Benson was using the car he totaled in practice at Atlanta after
winning the pole. He was fast in this race but faded and dropped out of
the transfer spot.

Lake Speed dominated the first half of the race but after Spencer jumped
in front past halfway, they all settled in and comfortably made the All
Star race with the top 5 transferring.

Jimmy Spencer's only career Open win comes a year after making the All
Star race for the first time without having to go through the Open.

Bradberry crashed in qualifying. That was the cause for his DNQ.

Poor Johnny Benson. Comes up one spot short, then one of the cars that
beat him (Burton) doesnt even take the green flag.

@24
Jeff Burton actually did take the green flag in the Winston Select but
his motor blew before he got there and he pulled off right away at Turn
1. Burton and the #99 team knew the motor was going to blow after it
apparently got damaged in this race but they were qualified for the main
event and thought they would give it a go. If he hadn't made the call I
doubt they would have promoted Benson up to replace him but still a
bummer for the rookie. Johnny had to wait until 2001 to finally make his
Winston debut and that year he had to win the Open to do it.
