  • This was the first live flag-to-flag Winston Cup Series race televised on TNN. Both races at Rockingham, along with Dover, Pocono, and Phoenix, switched from ESPN to TNN starting in 1991 after ESPN moved several races in 1990 to tape delay at the last minute. ESPN likewise decided to drop some of the longer, less-prestigious events, in favor of freeing up their schedules in favor of other sports (which they were rapidly gaining rights to at the time).
