The 1993 Mountain Dew Southern 500 was the 22nd stock car race of the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the 44th iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, September 5, 1993, in Darlington, South Carolina, at Darlington Raceway, a 1.366 miles (2.198 km) permanent egg-shaped oval racetrack. The race was shortened from its scheduled 367 laps to 351 laps due to rain delays, which caused the race to be cut short due to darkness. When the final ten-lap warning was given out, Roush Racing driver Mark Martin would manage to pull away from the field to take his 11th career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory, his fourth victory of the season, and his fourth consecutive victory.[1][2] To fill out the top three, King Racing driver Brett Bodine and Penske Racing South driver Rusty Wallace would finish second and third, respectively.
