October 1, 1967
Mark Donohue wins the Trans Am Series race at Stardust International Raceway in Las Vegas for Team Penske.
Donohue wins the pole and starts on the front row next to Parnelli Jones, who posted the same qualifying time as the Team Penske racer. Jones establishes a fast pace early on, taking the lead and building a 10-car-length gap to Donohue. For most of the race, Donohue battles with Ronnie Bucknum and Jerry Titus for second place. Late in the race, Jones suffers a shredded tire and heads to pit lane for repairs as Donohue takes the lead and holds on for his second win of the season.
October 3, 1993

Driving the No. 2 Miller Genuine Draft Pontiac, Wallace makes his way around Dale Earnhardt on Lap 299 to capture the race lead. Pacing the field for the final 102 laps of the 400-lap race, Wallace earns his eighth victory of the 1993 season.
