, putting a Petty on the Daytona 500
pole for the first time since 1966
, and only the second time ever. Kyle
was also the first North Carolina
driver to win the 500 pole since Benny Parsons
in 1982
. His father Richard
waved the green flag in the first Winston Cup race held since his retirement.
, who was the youngest winner of a Gatorade 125-mile qualifier on Thursday. Shortly after this, CBS
reporter
Chris Economaki
said that Rookie of the Year
is an award he would be almost assured of. Engine failures for Dick Trickle
and Jimmy Hensley
(the latter would crash in Turn 1 in his substitution for the injured Jimmy Means
) brought out the first two caution flags in the first 15 laps.
, Ken Schrader
, and Kyle Petty
would lead the majority of the laps, with Jeff Gordon
and Bobby Hillin Jr. leading a handful of laps as legitimate leaders. 1990 winner
Derrike Cope
and Harry Gant
also led several of these laps, but they had pitted under the early yellows to stretch their fuel runs.
Meanwhile, two-time winner Bill Elliott
dropped out of the race on lap 99, the victim of overheating in his #11 Budweiser
Ford Thunderbird
.
The Climax
Dale Earnhardt
was the leader on Lap 130 when Wally Dallenbach, Jr.
brushed the Turn 4 wall. Sterling Marlin
and Michael Waltrip
were lined up behind him, and when Marlin
backed off, Waltrip
tagged him and sent him into a spin. Marlin
caught air as he spun by Joe Ruttman
, who was coming to the pitlane to retire with engine failure. 5 laps after the restart, Rick Wilson and Bobby Hamilton
collided on the backstretch. Approaching 50 laps to go, 1991 Daytona 500
winner Ernie Irvan
was turned into the wall exiting Turn 2, eliminating a possible winner. The first major wreck happened when Dale Earnhardt
touched 1992 Indianapolis 500
winner Al Unser Jr. (competing in his only Winston Cup race). His #46
Valvoline Chevrolet
crashed into the #90
of Bobby Hillin Jr., who spun into the path of polesitter Kyle Petty
. Both had a heated verbal exchange, Hillin reportedly was telling Petty he had no brakes, but both were victims of circumstances. With 31 laps to go, Derrike Cope
and Michael Waltrip
touched in Turn 2. Waltrip
spun down into 1989 Winston Cup Champion Rusty Wallace
and sent him into a horrific series of barrel rolls in the grass. A little more than minute later, Ken Squier
reported that Rusty
came on the radio to crew chief
Buddy Parrott and said, "I'm okay."
and Sterling Marlin
presented themselves as contenders. Earnhardt
led from the restart, only to be passed briefly by Dale Jarrett
. The #3
was soon in the lead again, as he was pursued by the Chevrolets
of Jarrett
and Jeff Gordon
, and the Fords
of 1986 Daytona 500
winner Geoff Bodine
, Hut Stricklin
, Mark Martin, and Morgan Shepherd
. The "Dale
and Dale
Show" commenced as Jarrett
passed Earnhardt
in the tri-oval as they took the white flag. As the leaders exited Turn 2, the CBS Sports
producers came on the headsets of Ken Squier
, Neil Bonnett
, and Ned Jarrett
, telling Ned
to "call his son
home".
Quote: "Come on, Dale
! Go, buddy, go! Allright, come on! I know he
's got it

can't do anymore! Come on! Take 'er to the inside! Don't let 'em get on the inside of you comin' around this turn! Here he comes, Earnhardt

The next weekend at Rockingham, Ned reportedly apologized to Earnhardt for his obvious show of bias, to which an understanding Earnhardt replied, "I'm a daddy too."
