The race was held on Sunday, September 5, 1993, in Darlington, South Carolina, at Darlington Raceway, a 1.366 mi km on off permanent egg-shaped oval racetrack. The race was shortened from its scheduled 367 laps to 351 laps due to rain delays, which caused the race to be cut short due to darkness. When the final ten-lap warning was given out, Roush Racing driver Mark Martin would manage to pull away from the field to take his 11th career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory, his fourth victory of the season, and his fourth consecutive victory.Harris Mike September 6, 1993 Mark Martin wins Southern 500 18 The Morning Call https://www.newspapers.com/clip/116524311/mark-martin-wins-southern-500/ January 15, 2023 Newspapers.com Higgins Tom September 6, 1993 Martin dashes to 4th straight victory 11 The Daily Item https://www.newspapers.com/clip/116524496/martin-dashes-to-4th-straight-victory/ January 15, 2023 Newspapers.com To fill out the top three, King Racing driver Brett Bodine and Penske Racing South driver Rusty Wallace would finish second and third, respectively. Background thumb|The layout of Darlington Raceway, the venue where the race was held. Darlington Raceway is a race track built for NASCAR racing located near Darlington, South Carolina. It is nicknamed "The Lady in Black" and "The Track Too Tough to Tame" by many NASCAR fans and drivers and advertised as "A NASCAR Tradition." It is of a unique, somewhat egg-shaped design, an oval with the ends of very different configurations, a condition which supposedly arose from the proximity of one end of the track to a minnow pond the owner refused to relocate. This situation makes it very challenging for the crews to set up their cars' handling in a way that is effective at both ends.
