The race was held on Sunday, August 9, 1992, in Watkins Glen, New York, at the shortened layout of Watkins Glen International, a 2.45 mi km on permanent road course layout. The race was shortened from the scheduled 90 laps to 51 laps due to rain. With the help of a fast final pit stop, SABCO Racing driver Kyle Petty would manage to lead at the halfway point at lap 45 when the caution flag for rain would come out the next lap. When the race was eventually stopped on lap 51, the race had already hit the halfway point, with NASCAR officials deciding to call the race official, handing Petty the victory. The victory was Petty's fifth career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his first victory of the season.Higgins Tom August 10, 1992 Kyle Petty reigns in abbreviated Glen race 11 The Anniston Star https://www.newspapers.com/clip/117843832/kyle-petty-reigns-in-abbreviated-glen/ February 3, 2023 Newspapers.com Hawke George August 10, 1992 This Bud's in the mud 11 Star-Gazette https://www.newspapers.com/clip/117844491/this-buds-in-the-mud/ February 3, 2023 Newspapers.com To fill out the top three, Wood Brothers Racing driver Morgan Shepherd and Morgan–McClure Motorsports driver Ernie Irvan would finish second and third, respectively.

Watkins Glen International (nicknamed "The Glen") is an automobile race track located in Watkins Glen, New York at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. It was long known around the world as the home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix, which it hosted for twenty consecutive years (1961–1980), but the site has been home to road racing of nearly every class, including the World Sportscar Championship, Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the International Motor Sports Association and the IndyCar Series. Initially, public roads in the village were used for the race course. In 1956 a permanent circuit for the race was built. In 1968 the race was extended to six hours, becoming the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. The circuit's current layout has more or less been the same since 1971, although a chicane was installed at the uphill Esses in 1975 to slow cars through these corners, where there was a fatality during practice at the 1973 United States Grand Prix. The chicane was removed in 1985, but another chicane called the "Inner Loop" was installed in 1992 after J. D. McDuffie's fatal accident during the previous year's NASCAR Winston Cup event. The circuit is known as the Mecca of North American road racing and is a very popular venue among fans and drivers. The facility is currently owned by NASCAR. Entry list (R) denotes rookie driver.
