Sunday 9th June 1991

A wild finish at the Banquet Frozen Foods 300 NASCAR race ended in controversy. Road course ringer Tommy Kendall (substituting for the injured Kyle Petty) led Mark Martin with 4 laps to go. Going into the circuit’s Turn 7 keyhole, Martin slid by on the outside, but the cars make contact, and Martin spun out. Kendall suffered a cut tyre, and limped back to the pits. Davey Allison who had been running third, took the lead. Allison led Ricky Rudd into the Turn 11 hairpin as the cars were anticipating seeing the white flag. Rudd’s nose got inside, touched Allison’s rear bumper, and Allison spun out with the white flag waving. The next time by, Rudd was displayed the black flag and was penalized 5 seconds for dirty driving. Allison, the second car in line, was declared the winner.
