The race was broadcast live and flag-to-flag on TBS. Significant focus was given to the tire shortages that plagued many teams, such as the cars of Morgan Shepherd and Bill Elliott.
Due to 8 caution flags, the race ran long, and signed off around 5:10 PM instead of the planned 5:00 PM. This slightly pre-empted an airing of Sanford and Son.
