1992 The Winston
The 1992 edition of The Winston was held on May 16, 1992, at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. It was also better known as One Hot Night because it was the first ever all-star race that was held at night.
Summary
Temperatures hovered around the 74 °F (23 °C) mark throughout the event while winds were gusting in at up to 8 miles per hour (13 km/h).
At the very end of the race, Kyle Petty and Dale Earnhardt were battling for the lead, and heading into turn three, Petty spun Earnhardt and Davey Allison stalked Petty at the final corner. They were side-by-side and Allison beat him at the line, and then was spun out and crashed into the wall hard and slid all the way into turn one. Allison was taken to the hospital and did not celebrate in victory lane. It was considered one of the most memorable moments in all-star race history. That was also Allison's second straight victory in the event. In the Winston Open, Michael Waltrip won the race. It was also the first time that past champions were eligible, even though they did not win (Richard Petty and Terry Labonte). The race was broadcast on TNN with Mike Joy, Neil Bonnett, and Buddy Baker.
