Evernham's call paid off and Gordon outlasted Wallace in the closing laps. First race I ever attended. 5.

Until his only Top 10 finish a year later at Talladega, this was rookie Loy Allen Jr's best career finish. 7. myself posted: 02.16.2007 - 7:21 pm Rate this comment: (4) (1) Historic race. Gordon, before he's done, will be 3rd in all-time wins & championships (he's already 3rd in championships). 8.

Only after it was apparent that Gordon was actually outrunning Rusty did they even pay attention to the #24. 9.

On a NASCAR game for computer(NASCAR Racing 2) it list 1 win for him under career wins. Does anybody have a notion for this. 13.

Grissom was unbuckling at the time. If Petty had hit Grissom, Grissom would almost certainly have been killed. 17.

He couldn't get to the bottom and was tapped by an unaware Earnhardt. 18.

Of course, you could just have an inaccurate copy. 19.

Willy on Wheels posted: 08.23.2008 - 1:55 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) About Loy Allen winning in a video game, the game's artificial intelligence chooses a random driver to win if you don't. Todd Bodine won 5 or 6 times and Mark Martin got a championship in an old NASCAR Thunder game I have 21.

Matthew Sullivan posted: 11.09.2013 - 9:08 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The big wreck was a product of cars trying to get by Martin who was slow and trying to get to the inside to get to the pits. Earnhardt just happened to be the guy who was there at that time and unfortunately several good cars got tore up. 34.

His career only went upwards from here. 38. Josh posted: 06.21.2018 - 2:55 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) From Nobody to Upstart. From Upstart to Contender. From Contender to Winner! Jeff Gordon also won the Winston Open the week before when he missed the yuge crash at the front of the field that wiped out essentially half of it. 39. jp posted: 12.07.2018 - 10:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Sponsor Update: #14-John Andretti: Bryant Heating & Cooling/Big A Auto Parts/Jonathan Byrd's Source: http://i.imgur.com/cScaj22l.jpg 40.

Earlier in the day Al Unser, Jr. won the Indy 500 for the Captain thanks in part to a secret weapon pushrod Mercedes engine. Here in Charlotte Rusty Wallace leads the most laps en route to a second-place finish, coming up just short of giving Penske a sweep. 43. RaceFanX posted: 10.03.2019 - 10:12 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Someone, maybe Humpy Wheeler, decided to engage in some topic humor and put up a sign alongside the track this one stating "Attention All Drivers! Spinning thru the grass will result in caning." The sign was joking about 18-year-old American Michael P. Fay who infamously got caned in Singapore earlier in the year after being convicted of vandalizing cars, causing an international incident. Fay's case was big news at the time, he didn't return to the USA until the month after this race, but is probably forgotten now unless you're a fan of th "Weird Al" Yankovic song "Headline News" or the Simpsons episode "Bart vs. Australia" which both joked about it. 44.

He still managed over 800 racing miles on the day. 46.

Always due to the last pit stop too. 47. Anonymous posted: 06.27.2020 - 4:53 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @ 2 Jake - Ha ha ha. Yep a crybaby with 93 Cup wins and 4 cup championships. He was crying all the way to the bank. Gave Dale about all he could handle. 48. SweetRich posted: 07.02.2020 - 1:42 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The day and the race that began a new era in NASCAR as Jeff Gordon wins for the first time in The Winston Cup Series. After many solid runs from 1993 onward, it was only a matter of time when the boy wonder went to victory lane and it took place on this night by having one of the best cars, along with Mast, Geoff Bodine, Rudd, Irvan and Rusty. A very underrated 600 with a long awaited first time winner. Things would only get better for Jeff going forward: four-time Cup champion, three-time winner of the 600, three-time winner of The Daytona 500, one of the all time greats, and this race started it all. 49.
