1990 NASCAR Winston Cup Results
During the 1990 NASCAR Winston Cup season, several youthful, energetic, motivated drivers came to challenge an aging lineup of veteran NASCAR warriors. Dale Earnhardt and Mark Martin battled down to the wire for the 1990 NASCAR Winston Cup championship, but the unflinching Earnhardt prevailed, taking his title in the last two races of the season. In the chart below, you will find the results for all of the 29 races that comprised the 1990 NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National Series Season.
![]() Number 17 Darrell Waltrip was injured in a July
practice accident at Daytona, abbreviating his 1990 campaign. Waltrip logged 12 top-10 finishes in 1990, but for the first time since 1974, failed to score a NASCAR Winston Cup victory. See more pictures of NASCAR. |
