Tim Steele won this race despite being in a whole lot of pain from
kidney stones

This race saw the debut of the new Chevrolet SB2 racing engine, Andy
Hillenburg had it under the hood of his Ken Schrader-owned AC-Delco #52.
The new engine had Hillenburg running great earlier but issues with it
eventually put him on the trailer early.

The much cleaner of the 2 ARCA races at Atlanta in 1996. That race in
the fall was a complete disaster.

Steele was in such pain I think the team had Winston Cup driver Hut
Stricklin standing by as a possible relief driver but Tim toughed it out
and didn't need him.

Kelly Denton, driving a castoff Ford Thunderbird from Kenny Bernstein's
recently closed Cup team, had a great run in this race and drove up into
the top-5. He eventually faded back and a late crash doomed his hopes
for a good finish.

Shane Doles was heavily featured in ESPN's broadcast of all the ARCA
action related to the opener at Daytona. All that exposure paid off for
the #97 team as it picked up a sponsorship for this race and several
others later in the season from the Cellular One cell phone service.
Doles' #97 Pontiac had a sharp new red paint scheme to match its new
sponsor for this one but his hopes of a good finish went out the window
when the Grand Prix broke an axle in the opening laps. Cellular One
would later sponsor Joe Nemechek in the Busch Series.

That's more than the winner of this race makes now
