The 1993 GM Goodwrench 500 was the second stock car race of the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the 29th iteration of the event.

North Carolina Speedway was opened as a flat, one-mile oval on October 31, 1965.

In 1969, the track was extensively reconfigured to a high-banked, D-shaped oval just over one mile in length.

The first round was scheduled to be held on Friday, February 26, at 2:30 PM EST.

Mark Martin, driving for Roush Racing, would win the pole, setting a time of 24.482 and an average speed of 149.547 miles per hour (240.673 km/h) in the first round.
