D. McDuffie The traditional Labor Day event saw Dale Earnhardt capture the Richard Childress Racing's fourth pole of the season before winning the race. Even with an ill-handling racecar, Earnhardt recovered, made up a lost lap and then having to battle a vibrating tire to outrun Ernie Irvan to the checkered flag. With the $200,000 payday ($100,000 of this was a bonus from Winston for winning 2 out of 4 crown jewel races in a season), Dale became the first race car driver in history to pass the $11,000,000 mark in career winnings. This was the final time Dale Earnhardt won from the pole. During the race, Morgan Shepherd and Ken Schrader made contact, sending Schrader into the wall. An angry Schrader returned to the race and rammed Shepherd into the wall, knocking both drivers out of the race.
