NOTABLE RACES

1953: Herb Thomas was originally declared the winner, but a recheck showed that he had been credited with an extra lap.

1971: Controversy dogged Richard Petty’s win as he lost his gas cap (dry-break fuel couplers were not mandated until 1974) during the race but was not black-flagged; there had been incidents of drivers flagged to get gas caps under green. 1979: Richard Petty posted his first win in a Chevrolet and first short track win since 1975. 1984: Geoff Bodine edged Ron Bouchard for the win, the first for Bodine and the first for Hendrick Motorsports; it was also the first for crew chief Harry Hyde since 1977.

1986: Ricky Rudd won a race where wrecks and blown engines put the entire field behind him at least one lap down.

1997: Jeff Gordon edged Bobby Hamilton for the win, ending a four-race win streak in the Virginia 500 by Rusty Wallace.

2002: Bobby Labonte posted his first career short-track win.

2004: Rusty Wallace posted his final Cup win. 2010: Denny Hamlin stormed four-abreast through traffic on a late restart to steal the win. 2012: Ryan Newman stormed to the checkered flag because of the wreck that happened before. Clint Bowyer hit both Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon during the first attempt. Newman held off A. J. Allmendinger on the second attempt to win the Goody’s Fast Relief 500.

2014: Kurt Busch posted his first win with Stewart-haas Racing after passing Jimmie Johnson with eleven laps to go.

2018: The race was postponed to Monday due to snow. Clint Bowyer won the race, breaking a 190race winless streak dating back to 2012. 2019: Brad Keselowski dominated by leading 446 laps and winning the race.
