The 1990 Pepsi 400 was the 15th stock car race of the 1990 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the 32nd iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, July 7, 1990, in Daytona Beach, Florida at Daytona International Speedway, a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) permanent triangular-shaped superspeedway. The race took the scheduled 160 laps to complete. In a three-lap shootout to the finish, Richard Childress Racing driver Dale Earnhardt would manage to defend the field to complete a dominant performance throughout the race, leading 127 laps. The victory was Earnhardt's 44th career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his fifth victory of the season.[1][2][3][4] To fill out the top three, owner-driver Alan Kulwicki and Hendrick Motorsports driver Ken Schrader would finish second and third, respectively.
Heading into lap two of the race, a 23-car crash would occur on the track's front-stretch after Derrike Cope's car would accidentally scuff into the right side of Greg Sacks's car, sending Sacks loose into Richard Petty's car, sending Petty's car directly crashing in front of the oncoming field, triggering a major pileup, commonly referred to in NASCAR as a big one.[5]
