Darrell Waltrip would clinch his first Winston Cup series championship at this race over Bobby Allison; becoming the first champion not from the Carolinas since Virginia's Joe Weatherly in 1963. Dave Marcis finishes the 1981 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season at Riverside in a Pontiac, after racing in a Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile, Dodge, and Chrysler throughout the rest of the year. SummaryThis race and two others at Riverside during the 1981 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season were used to make up for the loss of the season-ending race at Ontario Motor Speedway. In previous years Riverside had the opening date in January and a race in June. Then they changed it leaving the June Riverside race and putting the second race as the finale from 1982 to 1986 before Atlanta got the finale until 2000. Riverside kept its two races until its last race in June 1988 and the later date went to Phoenix. Then they added a second Pocono race in 1982 but then lost Texas World Speedway. It took three hours and sixteen seconds for Bobby Allison to defeat Joe Ruttman by a time of 0.24 seconds in front of 46000 live spectators while driving Harry Ranier’s No. 28 Hardee’s Buick. There was a great battle for the win between Allison and Ruttman for the last 20 laps. Bobby passed Joe with nine laps to go and Ruttman got back alongside Allison several times but was never able to complete the pass. While Ruttman managed to get his first of three 2nd place finishes, this was considered to be his best chance to get a NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory.[2][3] Richard Childress would make his final racing appearance here before devoting his career to running Richard Childress Racing.[2] Former Formula One racer Bob Bondurant would retire from the NASCAR Cup Series after this race with his best career finish of 18th place.[2] Seven cautions slowed the race for 33 laps on this road course that spanned {{convert|2.620|mi|km}} per lap; for a grand total of {{convert|311.8|mi|km}}.[2] Darrell Waltrip qualified for the pole position with a speed of {{convert|114.981|mph|km/h}} while the average race speed was {{convert|95.288|mph|km/h}}. Unfortunately, this would be the first time in 14 races that Waltrip failed to finish in the top three.[2] Out of the entire 40-driver grid, 38 drivers were American while Roy Smith and Gary Kershaw were Canadians.[2][4]Ricky Rudd would finish last with an engine problem on the second lap in his Buick; earning $6,150 in prize winnings (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|6150|1981|r=2}}}} when inflation is taken into effect).[2][5][6] J.D. McDuffie would finish in 11th place;[2] a rarity for a driver with the most last-place finishes in NASCAR history. Joe Millikan would make his final "top five" finish in this race.[2]Notable crew chiefs in attendance for the race included Junie Donlavey, Joey Arrington, Elmo Langley, Jake Elder, Travis Carter, Waddell Wilson, Bud Moore, Tim Brewer, Kirk Shelmerdine, and Dale Inman.[7] Qualifying
