The 1994 Winston Select 500 was held on May 1, 1994 at the Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama. It was the ninth race of the 1994 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season, the race is better known by a very scary crash occurred after halfway when Mark Martin's #6 car, without brakes, hit the inside retaining wall and crashed through two guardrails, through a catchfence and into a third guardrail. He was only slightly injured. Dale Earnhardt would head on to win the race and paid tribute to Formula One driver Ayrton Senna, who died earlier in the day (European Time) at the San Marino Grand Prix while leading. Ernie Irvan won the pole.
