El miembro de la tripulación Robert Callicutt sufrió quemaduras de segundo grado en más del 40% de su cuerpo y fue hospitalizado. Petty se vio obligado a abandonar la carrera. El incidente dio lugar a nuevas reglas con respecto a la protección contra incendios de los miembros de la tripulación y boquillas de latas de gas de nuevo diseño para evitar fugas.

- Esta carrera estaba programada para el fin de semana posterior a las 500 Millas de Daytona (26 de febrero), pero la nieve cayó en Richmond y cubrió el Speedway. La carrera se pospuso un mes, y en temporadas posteriores, la carrera de primavera de Richmond se trasladó cada vez más tarde a la temporada. Es una de las raras ocasiones en que se ha celebrado una carrera de NASCAR el Domingo de Pascua , un fin de semana que no ha tenido una carrera de la Copa NASCAR programada originalmente en la era moderna.
- Después de calificar para 513 carreras consecutivas, Richard Petty no pudo ingresar a esta carrera por primera vez desde las 500 Georgia 500 de 1971 . Chocó su auto principal durante la práctica y no pudo acelerar el auto de respaldo. Su récord de aperturas consecutivas se mantendría hasta el First Union 400 de 1996 cuando Terry Labonte rompió el récord. Sin embargo, el hecho de que Petty no se clasifique no sería esta carrera aislada, ya que no se clasificaría para tres carreras adicionales más adelante en la temporada. Esto eventualmente llevaría a que se agreguen los campeones anteriores provisionales para los campeones anteriores que no califiquen en velocidad o provisionales normales.

Later a big wreck erupted in Turn One involving Greg Sacks in the Tom Winkle No. 48 and the No. 83 of Lake Speed. The two cars got together going into Turn One and smashed into the boilerplate wall head-on. The hit punched open the wall and sent Sacks flipping. The yellow remained out for the duration of time needed to repair the wall. Speed broke his shoulder in the crash and had to sit out for a couple weeks.
- Elliott cut a tire on the opening lap but rallied to take the lead from Wallace in the final ten laps. The win tied Elliott with Tim Richmond for most wins at Pocono.

- This race was notable for the race for the win between Earnhardt and Ricky Rudd. On the last lap, Earnhardt and Rudd touched in turn 1, spinning both cars out. This allowed Geoff Bodine to slip by and win the race, and allowed Rusty Wallace to gain points on Earnhardt for the championship hunt.

This was also Geoff Bodine's final win in a Chevrolet and with Hendrick Motorsports. Geoff would leave the #5 Levi Garrett Chevrolet Lumina to go drive the #11 Budweiser Ford Thunderbird for the next 2 years (1990-1991) with Junior Johnson & Associates.

- Three drivers entered the race mathematically eligible for the Winston Cup championship. Rusty Wallace had a 78-point lead over Mark Martin, and a 79-point lead over third-place Dale Earnhardt. Wallace had to finish 18th or better to clinch the title, but went into the race proclaiming he was going to 'run as hard as he could.' The statement was seen as a thinly veiled criticism of Bill Elliott whom Wallace lost the championship to a year earlier, in a similar situation. In that year, Elliott elected to drive a very conservative race, easily clinching the title, much to the ire of the hard-charging Wallace. Dale Earnhardt qualified 3rd, Wallace qualified 4th, but Martin would start back in 20th.[9]
- Despite his plan to race all-out, Wallace encountered problems that complicated his day. On the first round of pit stops, he pitted under green but lost a lap when the caution came out shortly thereafter. Later, he suffered a flat tire and fell all the way back to the 33rd position. Wallace slowly and steadily worked his way back up the standings. Dale Earnhardt, meanwhile, dominated the race leading 294 of the 328 laps en route to victory. Mark Martin, the other driver in the mix for the championship did not end up being a factor. He dropped out on lap 224 with a blown engine that resulted in a fire. In the closing laps, Wallace was three laps down in 15th place, just barely holding on to the hypothetical points lead. Wallace managed to finish the race in 15th, and won the Winston Cup championship by a mere 12 points over Earnhardt.[10] It was Wallace's first and only Winston Cup championship, and the first championship in the modern era for Pontiac.
- On lap 203, Grant Adcox struck the wall and suffered a heart attack and severe head injuries. Adcox died shortly after the accident.
- Final career top 10 for Neil Bonnett.
