Bill Elliott of Dawsonville Ga won the Miller 400 at Michigan International Speedway after a late surge, finishing 1.99 seconds ahead of Rusty Wallace. Wallace led early before tire troubles and a broken jack sunk his bid, while Darrell Waltrip and Elliott traded the lead late as Elliott passed Wallace with 20 laps left. Waltrip settled third after choosing not to pit on the final caution.
