1992 Sputter Stop 400

The 1992 Sputter Stop 400 is a race held at Dover International Speedway. It's the 28th race of the 1992 season. This race is best known for backup racer Banks winning. The only backups that did this were Guy Wheelson and Joe Carbureski. They won as backup racers before him. Banks won after he took the lead on lap 160 and held the lead ever since and won. Part-time racers Ryan Shields, Ponchy Wipeout, Dirkson D'agostino, Manny Flywheel, and Darren Leadfoot all entered here but not Slider Petrolski, because he had engine problems during a practice session. Kraig Shiftright crashes with part-time racer Flywheel and Billy Ford on lap 130.

The race was Cole Speedland and Devon Bradford Rutherford’s last Sputter Stop 400.
