Jeff Gordon became the first repeat winner, holding off Mark Martin for the win. Dale Jarrett dominated the second of the race but lost his chance near the halfway point when he ran out of fuel, and coasted back to the pits; he lost four laps but made them up due to numerous cautions. Gordon's victory was the first in the Winston No Bull 5 program. ==Results==
