Franklin, Tennessee-based driver led 400 laps enroute to a
one-lap victory over second place finisher Terry Labonte.

Wright had no previous NASCAR experience but yet qualified for
the race. Sage's sponsor paid Marlin $3,700 for the car.

at 321. Parsons and Car owner Harry Ranier parted ways the
previous week. right after the Gabrial 400 at Michigan.
