The Winston's top moments include 1987 when Earnhardt dodged Elliott and Bodine and stayed ahead after a grass detour to win. The event sparked controversy, fines, and fan reactions as the traffic of memorable finishes spans decades from 1987 to 2001 and beyond.
The standings show Matt Kenseth leading with 1,679 points followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr at 1,599 and Kurt Busch at 1,452. A wide field list includes Jeff Gordon 1,441, Bobby Labonte 1,376, Jimmie Johnson 1,372, and Michael Waltrip 1,361, with many others logging scores into the hundreds.

Penske driver Ryan Newman, 25, says winning, not money, motivates him as he prepares for Winston Cup's all star race. He won last year in a surprise upset and aims to repeat in a weekend emphasizing short track style and high stakes.

The Winston is a 90 lap 195 mile race in three segments 40 20 20. Teams must make a mandatory green flag four tire pit stop during the first segment.

A 10 minute break follows segment two for tire changes and adjustments. The final segment field is inverted by fan vote. Restarts are double file and only green flag laps count in the final segment.
Active drivers with prior Winston Cup titles and current year race victors are listed along with the winner of The Winston Open and the qualifying event held before The Winston. The update highlights title holders from the five-year window and recent race champions.
