The 1990 Budweiser at The Glen was the 18th stock car race of the 1990 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the fifth iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, August 12, 1990, before an audience of 120,000 in Watkins Glen, New York, at the shortened layout of Watkins Glen International, a 2.428-mile (3.907 km) permanent road course layout. On the final restart with three laps to go in the race, Hendrick Motorsports driver Ricky Rudd would manage to defend the field and pull away for the victory, coming back from an early spin in the race and two flat tires. The victory was Rudd's 11th career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his only victory of the season.[1][2][3][4] To fill out the top three, Junior Johnson & Associates driver Geoff Bodine and King Racing driver Brett Bodine would finish second and third, respectively.
