The 1993 The Bud at The Glen was the 19th stock car race of the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the eighth iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, August 8, 1993, before an audience of 150,000 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 took the scheduled 90 laps to complete. On the final restart with three to go, Roush Racing driver Mark Martin would manage to climb to the front of the field, climbing back from earlier bad luck in the race to take his eighth career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his first victory of the season.Hawke George August 9, 1993 Martin lugs home Bud trophy 11 Star-Gazette https://www.newspapers.com/clip/116299554/martin-lugs-home-bud-trophy/ January 12, 2023 Newspapers.com Read Dennis August 9, 1993 Martin roars back to capture the Bud 11 The Ithaca Journal https://www.newspapers.com/clip/116299741/martin-roars-back-to-capture-the-bud/ January 12, 2023 Newspapers.com To fill out the top three, Roush Racing driver Wally Dallenbach Jr. and Bobby Allison Motorsports driver Jimmy Spencer would finish second and third, respectively.
Background
thumb|The layout of Watkins Glen International NASCAR uses.
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.

Qualifying
Qualifying was split into two rounds. The first round was held on Friday, August 6, at 3:00 PM EST. Each driver would have one lap to set a time. During the first round, the top 20 drivers in the round would be guaranteed a starting spot in the race. If a driver was not able to guarantee a spot in the first round, they had the option to scrub their time from the first round and try and run a faster lap time in a second round qualifying run, held on Saturday, August 7, at 11:00 AM EST. As with the first round, each driver would have one lap to set a time. For this specific race, positions 21-38 would be decided on time,August 6, 1993 NASCAR today 13 The Charlotte Observer https://www.newspapers.com/clip/116300053/nascar-today/ January 12, 2023 Newspapers.com and depending on who needed it, a select amount of positions were given to cars who had not otherwise qualified but were high enough in owner's points; up to two provisionals were given.
