AI notes: The last race of the 1992 NASCAR Winston Cup Series, held on November 15, 1992, was the Hooters 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It was one of the most dramatic and historic races in NASCAR history. Alan Kulwicki won the championship by just 10 points, the closest margin in NASCAR at the time, by strategically leading one more lap than his closest rival, Bill Elliott, who won the race but fell short in points. The race also marked the final career start for legend Richard Petty, who crashed early but returned to complete the final laps. Additionally, it was the first career start for Jeff Gordon, signaling the dawn of a new era.
