FROM THE ARCHIVES
It’s been 10 years since one of the most bizarre finishes in NASCAR Busch Series history. On April 9, 1994, Mark Martin was leading at
what was then known as Bristol International Raceway under caution when he pulled off the track in Turn 4 and headed to Victory Lane.
Only one small problem … there was still another lap to go. A surprised David Green, running second at the time, maintained his course and went around the .533-mile layout one more time to collect the win. It would be the only win of the year for Green, who went on
to capture the 1994 NASCAR Busch Series championship.
