Roy "Buckshot" Jones crashed hard in Turn 1 with veteran Dave Marcis and
rookie Jason Leffler.

While battling in the Top 10, Mike Skinner (on the inside) and Sterling
Marlin (outside) touched in Turns 1 & 2. Skinner spent a few seconds
sideways, managing a great save, but Marlin had a flat left rear.

Great night for Bobby Hamilton Jr, substituting for the injured Joe
Nemechek. Joe was injured while testing his Busch car at Dover. He got
to be his dad's teammate for a while!

Kmart's Wins to 1-2 Finish. Last Winston cup win for Todd Bodine, in no
points race.

Rudd and Craven were robbed. They finished 2nd and 3rd in the Open, but
started this race 21st and 22nd. From Jayski via the Wayback Machine:

"Starting fourth, Craven jockeyed between fourth and fifth for most of
the caution-filled 30-lap run and stood in third when the race's third
caution flag flew on Lap 28. With only three laps to go, it was clear
the first segment would end under yellow - sending then-leader Johnny
Benson to The Winston. This also put Craven in second position behind
Ricky Rudd for the start of the 16-lap No Bull Sprint, the last race for
a wildcard Winston starting position. As the field passed the entrance
to pit lane on Lap 29, both Rudd and Craven understood pit lane to be
closed and stayed on track. However, a late green flag was displayed at
the entrance to pit lane - after Rudd and Craven had already passed it -
that allowed the rest of the field to pit on Lap 29. To confuse matters
even more, rules for the Winston Open (distributed earlier that evening
at the drivers' meeting) explicitly stated that pit lane would be closed
on Lap 29 - causing even more frustration for the Tide team and Rudd's
crew. In spite of valiant efforts by both teams, NASCAR officials would
not rectify the situation -- forcing both Craven and Rudd to pit out of
sequence and forfeit their race-leading positions and any reasonable
shot at winning the No Bull Sprint."
