Patty Moise actually led the first lap, but blew up before completing
another lap.

This race would make for a good trivia question -

"When did Dale Earnhardt, Sr. drive at Road Atlanta?"

Larry Pollard spun on the last lap but still claimed a top-10.

This race wasn't televised, what a shame.

The Busch Series' first road course race was something of an experiment
for NASCAR. With the bulldozers sitting outside Riverside licking their
chops the stock car sanctioning body was looking to develop new smaller
and lighter L-R (Left-Right) cars for the Cup series that could take its
top level tour to more road course and even street courses, especially
out west, to help the sport expand more into new markets. Bringing the
Busch Series to Braselton was deliberately done as a way to test out
Road Atlanta as a possible site for a future Winston Cup race using the
L-R cars, somewhat explaining the presence of four Winston Cup champions
in the field, but alas it never came to pass after development of the
L-R cars failed.
