The race was held on Saturday, August 26, 1995, in Bristol, Tennessee at Bristol Motor Speedway, a 0.533 miles (0.858 km) permanent oval-shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 500 laps to complete. On the final lap of the race, Hendrick Motorsports driver Terry Labonte and Richard Childress Racing driver Dale Earnhardt were battling for the lead. On the final turn of the race, Earnhardt would bump Labonte, sending him into a slide. Labonte would try to get the car straightened up, but would turn the other direction straight into the wall, crossing the finish line while hitting the wall. Earnhardt was not able to pass Labonte while Labonte was wrecking his car. The win therefore went to Labonte; although he had a wrecked car as he crossed the finish line first.Harris Mike August 28, 1995 Labonte wins fender bender 21 The Times https://www.newspapers.com/clip/112790217/labonte-wins-fender-bender/ November 9, 2022 Newspapers.com August 27, 1995 Labonte edges Earnhardt, captures wild Goody's 500 46 The Orlando Sentinel https://www.newspapers.com/clip/112790343/labonte-edges-earnhardt-captures-wild/ November 9, 2022 Newspapers.com The win was Labonte's 17th career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his third and final victory of the season.
