[3] Second-place Kulwicki would need to win the race, lead the most laps, and for Allison to finish outside the top five to clinch the championship.

[4][5] In the driver's championship for the 1992 NASCAR Winston West Series, Spears Motorsports driver Bill Sedgwick, assisted by a poor finish by competitor Bill Schmitt, would manage to win the Winston West title by six points over Schmitt.

For this specific race, positions 21-40 would be decided on time,[7] and depending on who needed it, a select amount of positions were given to cars who had not otherwise qualified but were high enough in owner's points; which was one for cars in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series and two extra provisionals for the NASCAR Winston West Series.

Rusty Wallace, driving for Penske Racing South, would win the pole, setting a time of 28.094 and an average speed of 128.141 miles per hour (206.223 km/h) in the first round.
