- During a caution, Dale Earnhardt, who was not running well, lost all four tires at the end of pit road after a pit stop(communication mix-up, lug nuts). His crew ran down pit lane with jacks and got him back on all fours but he lost a few laps. Mark Martin had a chance to capitalize on the misfortune but ended up losing a cylinder and finished 14th, 3 laps down.
