Wallace Ends Winless Streak at Richmond

Rusty Wallace broke a winless drought of nearly 14 months by cruising to victory in the Miller Genuine Draft 400 on Saturday night at Richmond, Va.

Wallace, who took the lead to stay on the 262nd of 400 laps at Richmond International Raceway, finished 3.52 seconds ahead of Mark Martin.

Wallace, who started third in his Pontiac Grand Prix, led 231 laps on the way to winning for the first time since the July 1991 event at Long Pond, Pa., a span of 34 races.

Wallace, who previously had only two top-five finishes this season, won $47,115.

Darrell Waltrip, seeking his third consecutive Winston Cup victory, was a distant third.
