Background thumb|Charlotte Motor Speedway, the track where the race was held. The Winston was open to race winners from last season through the 1990 Winston 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. The winner of The Winston Open advanced to complete the starting grid. Because the field did not meet the minimum requirement of 19 cars, the remaining spots were awarded to the most recent winning drivers prior to the 1989 season. Neil Bonnett was eligible for this race, but had to bow out due to an injury he sustained at Darlington on April 1. As a result, his eligibility was given to Morgan Shepherd. 1990 The Winston drivers and eligibility Race winners in 1989 and 1990 1-Terry Labonte (2 wins in 1989) 3-Dale Earnhardt (8 wins from 1989 and 1990) 5-Ricky Rudd (1 win in 1989) 6-Mark Martin (2 wins from 1989 and 1990) 9-Bill Elliott (3 wins in 1989) 10-Derrike Cope (2 wins in 1990, including the 1990 Daytona 500) 11-Geoff Bodine (2 wins from 1989 and 1990) 17-Darrell Waltrip (6 wins in 1989, including the 1989 Daytona 500) 25-Ken Schrader (1 win in 1989) 26-Brett Bodine (1 win in 1990) 27-Rusty Wallace (6 wins in 1989) 28-Davey Allison (3 wins from 1989 and 1990) 33-Harry Gant (1 win in 1989) 42-Kyle Petty (1 win in 1990) Race winners from previous years, not eligible by the above criteria 7-Alan Kulwicki (1 win in 1988) 8-Bobby Hillin Jr. (1 win in 1986) 15-Morgan Shepherd (1 win in 1986) 73-Phil Parsons (1 win in 1988) 83-Lake Speed (1 win in 1988) Winner of The Winston Open 66-Dick Trickle Race summary Segment 1 (50 laps) Dale Earnhardt won the pole while Davey Allison took the outside pole.
