Background

In 1953, Richmond International Raceway began hosting the Grand National Series with Lee Petty winning that first race in Richmond.[3] The original track was paved in 1968.[4] In 1988, the track was re-designed into its present D-shaped configuration

The name for the raceway complex was "Strawberry Hill" until the Virginia State Fairgrounds site was bought out in 1999 and renamed the "Richmond International Raceway".

Summary

There was a starting grid of 36 American-born drivers; J.D. McDuffie, Jack Pennington, and Kerry Teague failed to qualify for this race.[2] Harry Gant was credited as the last-place finisher after acquiring an engine failure at lap 12 of this 400-lap racing event. Jimmy Spencer was the last driver to actually finish the race; being 82 laps shy of the lead lap. Dale Earnhardt would defeat Mark Martin by nearly 0.90 seconds in this three-hour legendary race. Earnhardt's victory in this race made him the first driver to win at Richmond on both the traditional layout and the contemporary layout.[2]

Mark Martin was the fastest car toward the end of the race, after pitting for a splash and go to ensure he'd finish the race with enough fuel. He was tearing through the field up until the final restart. Earnhardt restarted first and Martin second, in the running order. NASCAR officials gave the one-to-go with 5 laps to go, and cars were three-wide trying to figure out where to restart, including the lapped cars. NASCAR did not wave off the restart; instead, they waved the green with four to go, and Earnhardt not only obviously jumped the start but the lapped and damaged #12 car being driven by Harry Gant in relief of Hut Stricklin was between the 3 and 6 in the outside lane. The only action that was taken because of this was the #12 was moved to the bottom car one lap down, instead of the first car one lap down.[2]

Several accidents and debris caused nine caution flags while Rusty Wallace and Dale Earnhardt were competing for the lead during the climax of the race. Ernie Irvan, Alan Kulwicki, Mark Martin, and Ken Schrader would duke it out for supremacy during the first 101 laps of this event.[2]

Ron Esau would retire from the NASCAR Cup Series after this race.[5] Earnhardt would walk away from this race taking home a then-impressive amount of $59,225 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|59225|1990|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation) while Harry Gant had to take home a modest $8,855 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|8855|1990|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation).[6]
