There have been 102 Sprint Cup races held at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but peradventure the most memorable was the 1992 Hooters 500, which is a man of the forerunners to the Emory Healthcare 500. Three very significant events in NASCAR history took place on that day. For one thing, it was the model Cup race for the mythical Richard Petty, who unruffled holds the record for career victories with 200. It was also famously the Cup debut for Jeff Gordon, who went on to become an all-time great in his own right, winning the overall championship four times, and still accepted strong 18 years later, as he is priced at +1000 in the NASCAR betting odds to win on Sunday.
Another significant anyway in the reality was that Alan Kulwicki culminated song of the marvellous rags-to-riches stories in NASCAR annals in general winning the title in what was known then as the Winston Cup. Kulwicki, well-known as a do-it-yourselfer, had started the season before without a sponsor, and rode a car that was sponsored by Hooters to a second-place finish, which gave him enough points to clinch the title, the last for an owner-driver. He died the next April.
The driver who won that race is not only even competing today, but will be entered in this weekend’s Cup race in Atlanta. Bill Elliott, who has won 44 Cup races and the championship in 1988, is 54 years old and has seen it all. The Georgia tribal has raced for 35 consecutive years on the outline, and though although he hasn’t finished higher than 39th since 2003, he will likely go over the $38 million mark in earning this weekend. He is part of the "field" wager in the NASCAR betting odds, at +4000. He’s won five Cup races in Atlanta, with the last one being back that Hooters 500 in ’92.
