== Background == |

The '''1992 Champion Spark Plug 400''' was a [[NASCAR]] [[Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series|Winston Cup Series]] racing event that was held on August 16, 1992, at [[Michigan International Speedway]] in the American community of [[Brooklyn, Michigan]]. |
|||
[[File:Michigan_International_Speedway_track_map.png|thumb|The layout of [[Michigan International Speedway]], the venue where the race was held.]] |
|||
The race was held at Michigan International Speedway, a two-mile (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped [[Oval track racing|speedway]] located in [[Brooklyn, Michigan]]. The track is used primarily for [[NASCAR]] events. It is known as a "sister track" to [[Texas World Speedway]] as MIS's oval design was a direct basis of TWS, with moderate modifications to the banking in the corners, and was used as the basis of [[Auto Club Speedway]]. The track is owned by [[International Speedway Corporation]]. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards). |
|||
=== Entry list === |
|||
Harry Gant would set a record for being the oldest winner of a NASCAR Cup Series racing at 52 years and 219 days. [[Oldsmobile]] would get their final victory as an active manufacturer and would be sidelined in favor of [[Pontiac]] (who left NASCAR after [[2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Series|2003]]) and [[Dodge]] (who left NASCAR after [[2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series|2012]]). [[Davey Allison]] would die within months of this race while his younger brother and [[Clifford Allison|Clifford]] would eventually be killed in a racing accident in 1992. |
|||
* '''(R)''' denotes rookie driver. |
|||
Then-current [[IndyCar]] driver [[Lyn St. James]] was the grand marshal of the race who shouted "Gentlemen, start your engines!" |

== Qualifying == |

Qualifying was split into two rounds. The first round was held on Thursday, August 14, at 3:30 PM [[Eastern Time Zone|EST]]. Each driver would have one lap to set a time. During the first round, the top 20 drivers in the round would be guaranteed a starting spot in the race. If a driver was not able to guarantee a spot in the first round, they had the option to scrub their time from the first round and try and run a faster lap time in a second round qualifying run, held on Saturday, August 15, at 10:30 AM [[Eastern Time Zone|EST]]. As with the first round, each driver would have one lap to set a time. For this specific race, positions 21-40 would be decided on time,<ref>{{Cite news |date=August 13, 1992 |title=NASCAR today |pages=27 |work=[[The Charlotte Observer]] |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/117869220/nascar-today/ |access-date=February 3, 2023 |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}} {{Open access}}</ref> and depending on who needed it, a select amount of positions were given to cars who had not otherwise qualified but were high enough in owner's points; up to two were given. If needed, a past champion who did not qualify on either time or provisionals could use a champion's provisional, adding one more spot to the field. |
|||
Approximately 13% of this 200-lap race was run under a caution flag; each green flag lasted for an average of 30 laps. There were four accidents in this event; a total of nine different cars were involved in the wreckage. [[Greg Sacks]] was credited as the last-place finisher on the fourth lap due to three-car pileup that also took [[Jimmy Means]] out of the race and severely affected [[Bobby Hamilton]]. It took nearly two hours and fifty minutes to decide the race; [[Harry Gant]] would defeat an aging [[Darrell Waltrip]] by a distance of nearly five seconds. Dale Earnhardt started 41st after failing post-qualifying inspection after second round qualifying.<ref name="rr">[http://www.racing-reference.info/race/1992_Champion_Spark_Plug_400/W Racing information for the ''1992 Champion Spark Plug 400''] at Racing Reference</ref> |
|||
[[Alan Kulwicki]], driving for his own [[AK Racing]] team, would win the pole, setting a time of 40.405 and an average speed of {{Convert|178.196|mph|km/h}} in the first round.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Higgins |first=Tom |date=August 15, 1992 |title=Kulwicki earns pole with record-setting lap |pages=11 |work=[[The Charlotte Observer]] |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/117869463/kulwicki-earns-pole-with-record-setting/ |access-date=February 3, 2023 |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}} {{Open access}}</ref> |
|||
Gant would never win a NASCAR Cup Series racing event again after this one.<ref>[http://www.race-database.com/results/results.php?year=1992&race=19&series_id=2 Racing information for the ''1992 Champion Spark Plug 400''] at Race Database</ref> The win turned out to be entirely based on fuel mileage; as Gant was barely running in the middle of the racing pack before somehow picking up speed and acquiring the first-place position. [[Alan Kulwicki]] earned the [[pole position]] for this race by driving up to {{convert|178.156|mph|km/h|disp=or}} during qualifying while the average race traffic speed would be a meager {{convert|145.056|mph|km/h|disp=or}} during the actual event. Seven drivers failed to qualify for the race; including [[Delma Cowart]]. All of the drivers in this event were born in the [[United States|United States of America]].<ref name="rr"/> |
|||
No drivers would fail to qualify. |
|||
Michigan International Speedway has been a Ford dominated track starting in 1984, and a Mercury track before that from 1969-78. It was also a track that suited a smooth driver or a driver that could change his driving tactics for Michigan International Speedway. |
|||
=== Full qualifying results === |
|||
At the end of the event, only twelve drivers remained on the lead lap. [[Jeff McClure]] was the lowest finishing driver to complete the race; even though he was 33 laps behind the people on the lead lap.<ref name="rr"/> Individual prize winnings for the driver varied from the winner's share of $71,545 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|71545|1992|r=2}}}} when considering inflation) to the last-place finishers' share of $7,140 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|7140|1992|r=2}}}} when considering inflation). The combined prize purse for this racing event was $641,610 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|641610|1992|r=2}}}} when considering inflation).<ref>[http://fantasyracingcheatsheet.com/nascar/races/results/1992/michigan-international-speedway/champion-spark-plug-400/1872 Race information for the ''1992 Champion Spark Plug 400''] at Fantasy Racing Cheat Sheet</ref> |

The 1992 Champion Spark Plug 400 was the 19th stock car race of the 1992 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the 23rd iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, August 16, 1992, before an audience of 95,000 in Brooklyn, Michigan, at Michigan International Speedway, a two-mile (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway. The race took the scheduled 200 laps to complete. Depending on fuel mileage, Leo Jackson Motorsports driver Harry Gant would manage to run the final 51 laps on one tank of fuel to take his 18th and final NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his second and final victory of the season.[1][2] To fill out the top three, owner-driver Darrell Waltrip and Junior Johnson & Associates driver Bill Elliott would finish second and third, respectively.
Background
[edit]
The race was held at Michigan International Speedway, a two-mile (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located in Brooklyn, Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is known as a "sister track" to Texas World Speedway as MIS's oval design was a direct basis of TWS, with moderate modifications to the banking in the corners, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by International Speedway Corporation. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards).
Entry list
[edit]- (R) denotes rookie driver.
Qualifying
[edit]Qualifying was split into two rounds. The first round was held on Thursday, August 14, at 3:30 PM EST. Each driver would have one lap to set a time. During the first round, the top 20 drivers in the round would be guaranteed a starting spot in the race. If a driver was not able to guarantee a spot in the first round, they had the option to scrub their time from the first round and try and run a faster lap time in a second round qualifying run, held on Saturday, August 15, at 10:30 AM EST. As with the first round, each driver would have one lap to set a time. For this specific race, positions 21-40 would be decided on time,[3] and depending on who needed it, a select amount of positions were given to cars who had not otherwise qualified but were high enough in owner's points; up to two were given. If needed, a past champion who did not qualify on either time or provisionals could use a champion's provisional, adding one more spot to the field.
Alan Kulwicki, driving for his own AK Racing team, would win the pole, setting a time of 40.405 and an average speed of 178.196 miles per hour (286.779 km/h) in the first round.[4]
No drivers would fail to qualify.
