The race was broadcast live and flag-to-flag on ABC, billed as the "Atlanta 500". The broadcast was billed as an "ABC Sports Exclusive". Two in-car cameras were used, in the cars of Neil Bonnett and Alan Kulwicki.
A computer error occured around lap 73. Under caution for Phil Parsons' accident, they were going to commercial and would've showed a graphic of the leaderboard, showing the top five. However the graphic did not show.
