This was the first Cup race after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Five of the most dominant drivers of the 1989 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season were Dale Earnhardt (average finish 10th place), Rusty Wallace (average finish 10th place), Mark Martin (average finish 11th place), Darrell Waltrip (average finish 12th place), and Bill Elliott (average finish of 13th place). BackgroundAtlanta International Raceway (now Atlanta Motor Speedway) is one of ten current intermediate track to hold NASCAR races; the others are Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Homestead Miami Speedway, Kansas Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and Texas Motor Speedway.[2] However, at the time, only Charlotte and Darlington were built with New Hampshire just under construction. The layout at Atlanta International Speedway at the time was a four-turn traditional oval track that is {{convert|1.54|mi|km}} long.[3] The track's turns are banked at twenty-four degrees, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, and the back stretch are banked at five.[3] SummaryIt took three hours and thirty-six minutes to complete this 328-lap event in front of 78,000 people.[4] Dale Earnhardt managed to defeat Geoffrey Bodine by nearly 26 seconds. Eight drivers failed to qualify for this race.[4] There were four accidents and two debris-related incidents; causing 11% of the race to be run under a caution flag.[4] The average duration of laps under the green flag was almost 42 laps.[4] Grant Adcox crashed heavily on lap 198 of the event and died of major chest and head injuries, also suffering a heart attack as result of the crash.[4] Upon investigation, it was determined that the severe impact had torn his improperly mounted racing seat away from its mount entirely, and this led to Adcox's death. It also led to new safety regulations on the way seats were mounted for the 1990 season. Earnhardt was the winner of $81,700 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|87100|1989|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation) while last-place finisher Phil Parsons walked away with (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|4525|1989|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation).[5] Coming into this race, Mark Martin didn't yet have the stuff yet to win the Cup. He had won his first race two weeks before Atlanta. Dale Earnhardt was the odds-on favorite to win the Winston Cup by October. After a series of three bad finishes in his home state of North Carolina, he was second in the running for the championship. Rusty Wallace didn't start off strong and went three laps down even though he led all but 89 laps of this race.[4] Rusty Wallace would clinch the championship in this race; despite overcoming multiple pit road issues. He settled for a 15th-place finish.[6] Last race for Hollywood director Hal Needham's race team, the blown motor on lap 213 put the #66 Chevy of Rick Mast, and the team, into retirement early.[4] Drivers who failed to qualify for the race were Bill Meacham, Eddie Bierschwale, Tracy Leslie, J.D. McDuffie, Jerry O'Neil, Patty Moise, Norm Benning and Jimmy Means.[7] Top ten finishers
