Randy Porter records his only NASCAR All Pro race victory. The inaugural
season in 1991 was the only one where he was a regular in the series.

David Bonnett, making his third and final start of the year, finishes
seventh to claim his best finish in this series.

Darrell Brown was involved in a "spectacular crash" in this race.
Apparently, Brown "hit the dirt embankment on the inside of the front
straightaway and flipped end over end, but escaped unhurt."

That would be the 88 in the 7th caution, not the 24...please excuse my
inability to properly read numbers and driver names

Jeff Purvis had the fastest car of the latter half of the race, but
after colliding with Brown, the car was never the same. He dropped out
with ignition problems with 30 to go.

Brown himself was a few laps off and was making his first start in two
years, as he was a regular back when it was the All Pro Super Series. He
had retired from full time racing in 1989 to focus on his trucking
company, but decided to pick up the steering wheel on a limited basis.
The 1984 All Pro champion's Chevrolet Camaro was pitched into the inside
earth wall on the front chute after colliding with Purvis, sending Brown
rolling a few times. He emerged okay. Brown would eventually get back
into racing in the Hooters Late Model Series, now widely remembered as
being Mike Garvey, Marty Lindley and Wayne Anderson's old stomping
grounds and the first major step for recent late model grad Matt
Kenseth, who next moved to the ASA.
