McDuffie, 74-Mike Potter, 82-Mark Stahl, 01-Mickey Gibbs, 04-Bill Meacham, 48-Robin Best Rusty Wallace emerged from early season mediocrity to announce his return to dominance with a shootout win over Bill Elliott. Wallace led 306 of the 400 laps for his first win of the season, resuming his final lead on lap 310 when Geoff Bodine made a green-flag pit stop. A two-lap caution beginning on lap 297 set up the duel between Wallace and Elliott, who had regained a lap he lost early in the race. This was Rusty Wallace's only career win in a crown jewel event (other crown jewel events are the Daytona 500, Winston 500, and Southern 500). Budweiser 500 The Budweiser 500 was held at Dover Downs International Speedway on June 3, 1990. Dick Trickle won the pole. Top Ten Results 10-Derrike Cope 25-Ken Schrader 66-Dick Trickle 6-Mark Martin 94-Sterling Marlin 15-Morgan Shepherd 4-Ernie Irvan 9-Bill Elliott 42-Kyle Petty 27-Rusty Wallace Footage from this race was used in the ESPN Home Video Racing Tough, hosted by Benny Parsons and Brett Bodine. Dale Earnhardt had blown the engine early in the race. Earnhardt's crew performed the unheard-of feat of actually fixing a blown engine and getting the car back on the track. Unfortunately, he blew his engine again later in the race. This was Derrike Cope's 2nd and last Winston Cup win. As a result of both his consistency (with 11 Top 10 finishes) and Earnhardt's engine problems, Morgan Shepherd would briefly assume the points lead for the only time in his career.
