1992 NASCAR Winston Cup Motorcraft 500 at Atlanta

A race that featured the winner somehow coming from midpack to winning in the luckiest circumstances possible. 1992 NASCAR Winston Cup Motorcraft Quality Parts 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Hampton, Georgia, March 15, 1992.

This was the race that brought the competition caution to NASCAR, at least in modern times. Because this was the first race run at Atlanta on radial tires, and because there was a problem with blistered tires, one of which resulted in Ken Schrader's crash, NASCAR decided to throw cautions about every 50 laps or so after the Ken Schrader crash until about two-thirds of the way through the race.

I think this was ABC's last race until 1994. By then, their broadcasts had the same personnel as ESPN's races.

ABC reran this same race in 1993 as the spring 1993 race at Atlanta was postponed by a blizzard. TNN aired the rescheduled 1993 race at Atlanta instead of ABC.

25 years after Bobby Unser made the comments from 1:34:39-1:34:55 about Bud Moore and the Wood Brothers being "some of the oldest names in NASCAR racing", the Wood Brothers are STILL winning races. They would also win this race the following year (1993).

Bob Jenkins wasn't there commentating just Paul page

[@LCM2248]

Actually, Jenkins did all of the Indy Car stuff from 1980-1988. Paul Page called Cup, Sportsman, etc, for NBC from 1978-1985. So both were acclimated to both series that they are commonly not "known" for
