1993 The Bud at The Glen
19th race of the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Series / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1993 The Bud at The Glen was the 19th stock car race of the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the eighth iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, August 8, 1993, before an audience of 150,000 in Watkins Glen, New York, at the shortened layout of Watkins Glen International, a 2.45-mile (3.94 km) permanent road course layout. The race took the scheduled 90 laps to complete. On the final restart with three to go, Roush Racing driver Mark Martin would manage to climb to the front of the field, climbing back from earlier bad luck in the race to take his eighth career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his first victory of the season.[1][2] To fill out the top three, Roush Racing driver Wally Dallenbach Jr. and Bobby Allison Motorsports driver Jimmy Spencer would finish second and third, respectively.
