Josef Newgarden produces his first Team Penske win as he races the No. 2 Fitzgerald Glider Kits Chevrolet to victory in the Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park.
After starting seventh, Newgarden moves into the top five early on thanks to a savvy tire strategy executed by the No. 2 Chevy team. Newgarden claims the race lead on lap 77 when his teammate Will Power is forced to pit lane to repair a cut tire. Newgarden leads the remainder of the race as he holds off Scott Dixon to secure his first career victory for Team Penske.
April 25, 1993
After leading 409 laps of the 500-lap NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway, Rusty Wallace captures his third consecutive win of the 1993 season.
While Wallace dominates the race, a late caution flag sets up a sprint to the finish between Wallace and Davey Allison. Wallace beats Allison to the checkered flag by just half a car length to claim his fourth victory in the first eight races of the season.
