NASCAR season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1990 NASCAR Winston Cup Series was the 42nd season of professional stock car racing in the United States and the 19th modern-era Cup Series. It began on Sunday, February 11, and ended on Sunday, November 18. Because of a highly controversial penalty to Mark Martin early in the season, Dale Earnhardt with Richard Childress Racing was crowned the Winston Cup champion for the fourth time, edging out Martin by 26 points.

The 32nd annual Daytona 500 was held on February 18 at Daytona International Speedway. Ken Schrader won the pole position. However, Schrader crashed his pole-winning car during the first of Thursday's Twin 125 qualifying races. Schrader moved to a backup car, and by rule, was moved to the rear of the field. Geoff Bodine (winner of the first Twin 125) slid up into the pole spot to start the race. It was announced that Schrader would still be eligible for the Unocal 76 Challenge, which at that point, had rolled over to $212,800.

The 1990 season was a slim season for Rookie of the Year contenders. 1989 Busch Series champion Rob Moroso had a top-ten finish and qualified for every race, but he was killed in a car crash before the end of the year and was awarded the top rookie award posthumously. His top runner-up was Jack Pennington, a late-model dirt racing champion, who had 14 starts and no top-tens in an unsponsored car. The only other declarees were Jerry O'Neil and Jeff Purvis, who did not run enough races to be completely eligible for the honor.
