1993 The Winston

Alan Kulwicki, who was the defending 1992 NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion, was killed in a plane crash in Blountville, Tennessee on April 1, 1993.

Sterling Marlin, Ken Schrader, Brett Bodine, Michael Waltrip, and Rick Mast transferred from The Winston Open to make the field.

Kyle Petty, who was supposed to lead the field after finishing last on Segment 1, retired before the restart due to catastrophic valve issues; as a result, Morgan Shepherd assumed the point.

On lap 31, Michael Waltrip spun and hit the turn 2 outside wall after contact with Harry Gant; in the midst of the chaos, Jimmy Hensley scraped the No.

For the final 10-lap shootout, Mast lost momentum at the drop of the green flag while Martin rushed from the inside line to lead for eight laps while Earnhardt and Irvan closed in on Martin before Terry Labonte lost his engine and spun towards the turn 4 outside wall before colliding with Bill Elliott to trigger the caution on lap 69.
