I finally got a chance to see this race.

Davey Allison was leading going into the last 100 laps and looked
dominant, pulling away from Petty in the winding laps. Dale Earnhardt
had gotten up to about 3rd or 4th and started drifting backwards because
the handling went away. Then, in a matter of three or four laps,
Allison, while leading, blew a right front out of two, went another lap,
came down to try and pit, and got Kulwicki with his left rear causing a
caution. He would go a lap down and end up a disappointing 8th.

There were only about eight or nine cars on the lead lap. Everyone came
down to pit with less than 70 or so to go. Petty beats out Earnhardt
just barely to restart first, while Rusty Wallace, who was running in
the top six on the lead lap, blew a transmission and went behind the
wall. As the restart happens, Petty gets heat from Earnhardt who
eventually drives away for the win. Shelmerdine took an ill-handling car
and made it damn near perfect when he needed to.

And just to note, Ricky Rudd was on the lead lap battling for a top 10
late when his brakes started overheating. He ran into the back of
Ruttman once in the corners because his brakes were shot. He got into to
pits, managed to fix it for the remaining laps, and finished just shy of
a top-ten.

Harry Gant spun out while running 2nd. Mark Martin went high to avoid it
but spun out on his own and took Ken Schrader with him. Gant lost a lap
and never made it back up, despite having a really good car.

Charlie Glotzbach relieved Sterling Marlin in the #22 Ford during this
race, and spun out during his time in the car.

Rookie of the Year Bobby Hamilton failed to qualify for this race.
Another Bobby (Hillin) spun 2 or 3 times and even damaged the nose of
the car and still finished 17th.

Bill Sedgwick and Wayne Spears' Spears Manufacturing team cross over
from their championship Winston West season to make their second and
final East Coast NASCAR appearance, both coming in the Martinsville
spring race. The West Coast racers were rewarded for their long haul
efforts with a top-20 run, albeit almost 40 laps down.

2nd Round qualifying got rained out in what was a very wet first half of
the season for NASCAR as numerous event had been rained out or had rain
threatening. The rain out of 2nd round qualifying knocked out a couple
drivers you wouldnt expect to DNQ like Cope and Hamilton. During the
broadcast, Ned Jarrett mentioned that Jimmy Means had a really fast car
that weekend too and unfortunately was also victimized by the
cancellation of 2nd round qualifying
