The 1992 Budweiser at The Glen was the 18th stock car race of the 1992 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the seventh iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, August 9, 1992, in Watkins Glen, New York, at the shortened layout of Watkins Glen International, a 2.45-mile (3.94 km) permanent road course layout. The race was shortened from the scheduled 90 laps to 51 laps due to rain. With the help of a fast final pit stop, SABCO Racing driver Kyle Petty would manage to lead at the halfway point at lap 45 when the caution flag for rain would come out the next lap. When the race was eventually stopped on lap 51, the race had already hit the halfway point, with NASCAR officials deciding to call the race official, handing Petty the victory. The victory was Petty's fifth career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his first victory of the season.[1][2] To fill out the top three, Wood Brothers Racing driver Morgan Shepherd and Morgan–McClure Motorsports driver Ernie Irvan would finish second and third, respectively.
With a poor finish from Davey Allison's relief driver, Dorsey Schroeder, driver's championship contender Bill Elliott would manage to retake the points lead, leading Allison by 17 points.[3]
