Pepsi 400 Presented by Meijer - Michigan International Speedway

Marlin "Rains" at Michigan
Sterling Marlin gave Dodge its first Winston Cup win in more than two decades, winning the rain-shortened Pepsi 400 presented by Meijer at Michigan International Speedway. Marlin used the assist from Mother Nature to break a 170-race winless streak and score his seventh career win, his first since Daytona 1996. Marlin took the lead from Bill Elliott on lap 145 and led the remainder of the shortened race at the two-mile track. Pole-winner Ricky Craven finished a strong second, while the Dodge of Elliott came home third. Matt Kenseth and Johnny Benson rounded out the top five in the race that completed 162 of the scheduled 200 laps.
