The 1993 Hooters 500 was the 30th and final stock car race of the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the 34th iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, November 14, 1993, in Hampton, Georgia, at Atlanta Motor Speedway, a 1.522 miles (2.449 km) permanent asphalt quad-oval intermediate speedway. The race took the scheduled 328 laps to complete. In the final laps of the race, Penske Racing South driver Rusty Wallace would make a late-race charge to take the lead with four laps to go, securing his 31st career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his 10th and final victory of the season.[1][2] To fill out the top three, Hendrick Motorsports driver Ricky Rudd and owner-driver Darrell Waltrip would finish second and third, respectively.
Meanwhile, 10th-place finisher Dale Earnhardt would manage to win his sixth career NASCAR Winston Cup Series championship, only needing a 34th-place finish or better to do so. With the championship, he was one championship away from tying Richard Petty's record of seven championships.[3]
