After all the leaders had pitted, Skinner had a 25-second lead over Jeff Gordon. Skinner had to conserve fuel in order to make the finish, so he drove much slower than he would have. Gordon, along with Mark Martin and Rusty Wallace ran Skinner down with 3 laps to go. Gordon and Martin were able to pass Skinner, but Wallace was not able to. This race was the 4th consecutive race that Mark Martin finished 2nd, and 3rd straight 2nd-place finish to winner Jeff Gordon, losing 30 points to him in the standings over the 3 races.

This race was held the day after Mark Martin's father, stepmother and half-sister were killed in a plane crash in Nevada.
