Wasn't this the first time that RIR ran a race under the lights?

Gant won despite spinning with Ernie Irvan and Alan Kulwicki at one point.

They were running 1-2-3, Kulwicki got loose on the botton of Irvan in
turn one, and all three spun but were undamaged.

Of King Richard's 5000 some-odd laps led at Richmond, this was the only
one he led on the new configuration.

Just after the 300 lap mark, Irvan, Kulwicki and Gant stage an epic duel
for the lead. You'll be hard pressed to find this good of racing anywhere.

The #47 car owned by Derick Close and driven by Greg Sacks had a one
race deal with Ukrop's Stores, and the car had a slightly different
paint scheme from the typical white and blue that had run in 1990 and
thus far in 1991. There was a thick red stripe around the bottom of the
car and the numerals were also red.

Mark Martin's car actually caught fire under the hood during the fifth
caution.

Dale Earnhardt dropped a cylinder in the middle stages and struggled
home two laps down because of it.

Davey Allison probably had the best car, but got caught on pit road
under caution two different times. The first time a hung lug nut put
Davey back in 10th on the restart, from which he charged back up inside
the Top 3. The second time Davey was caught speeding. Despite these
events, Davey still found himself leading in the late going before
developing a loose condition out of turns 2 and 4, allowing Gant to pounce.

What makes the Gant run of 4 wins in a row in Winston Cup even more
spectacular (at 51 years old) is he started a streak of 3 consecutive
Busch Series wins in a row the night before this race. That Busch race
was the first Nascar race run at night at Richmond.

Ken Squier, Neil Bonnett and Kenny The Snake Stabler were the
commentators. Dr. Dick Berggren and Chris Economaki were the pit road
reporters. Mike Joy was in the STP pit communication center. Merry
Christmas, everyone.
