  • 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.

Famous quotes containing the word union:

    “My Christian friends, in bonds of love, whose hearts in sweetest union join,
    Your friendship’s like a drawing band, yet we must take the parting hand.
    Your company’s sweet, your union dear; Your words delightful to my ear,
    Yet when I see that we must part, You draw like cords around my heart.”
    —John Blain (18th century)
