- Controversy occurred after Kenny Wallace, who was making his first start in the series crashed in turn one and brought the caution. During the caution, the pace car picked up Dale Earnhardt instead of Bodine who had fresh tires. This led to several confusions on whether who led the race (NASCAR did not have time and electrical scoring until 1993) and took 17 caution laps to sort it out the scoring error. In the end, Bodine was declared as the race leader. After the race, Darrell Waltrip who finished second protested the victory however it was turned down.
