 Numerous crashes erupted; a multicar melee on a restart eliminated Geoffrey Bodine and Tim Richmond.The most spectacular crash came when Jerry Bowman flipped over and slid on his roof down the backstretch.Bill Elliott and Harry Gant combined to lead 299 laps; in the final 55 laps Gant ran down Elliott and took the lead with two to go, but Elliott dove back under Gant and the two raced abreast the final two miles; they hit the stripe abreast and Elliott won by less than a wheel.
