Burton Wins Inaugural Texas Motor Speedway Race At Fort Worth
Jeff Burton survived a crash filled inaugural Texas 500 on the new 1 5 mile oval to claim his first Winston Cup victory at 29 from South Boston Virginia. He led after lap 282 and finished 0.467 seconds ahead of Dale Jarrett as Bobby Labonte and Terry Labonte followed in third and fourth amid 73 caution laps and a crowd near 185000. Burton earned 354350 of the purse on the 34 million event and the Roush team celebrated its first win since 1995.
