This was ESPN's first broadcast at the North Wilkesboro Speedway. Bob
Jenkins and Ned Jarrett called the race with Ron Kendrick as pit
reporter. They would broadcast every North Wilkesboro race afterward
until the final race there in the fall of 1996.

Also, the reason for the final caution that the race finished under was
for second place driver Terry Labonte spinning Bobby Allison, damaging
Terry's right-front fender in the closing laps as he tried to catch
Darrel Waltrip, the leader. After, Terry was passed by several cars
under caution, including 3rd place Dale Earnhardt and 4th place Benny
Parsons. Originally, they were credited with 2nd and 3rd, respectively,
and Terry fourth, but Terry was later given second place back.

According to the photo I've seen with Mark Martin lined up with Terry
Labonte, Mark is in the Apache Stove Buick, not the Pontiac.

Apparently a fan had a heart attack during the race, a caution was
thrown so the ambulance could cross the track. Darrell Waltrip said in
victory lane he hoped the guy was OK.

dropping the g in drilling
