This was my first offline season.

-Mark won the Coca-Cola 600 and Southern 500.
-Roush Racing teammate Jeff Burton won the Winston Select 500, Mark finished 7th.
-Jeff Gordon won the Daytona 500, Mark finished 12th.
This season produced 10 different winners, including two first-time winners.
-Jeff Burton at Talladega I
-Michael Waltrip at Watkins Glen
-Terry Labonte had the most wins with 10.
-Jeff Gordon had the 2nd most with 7.
-Dale Earnhardt had the 3rd most with 4.
The 1996 Season had a whopping 15 different Pole Winners.
-Dale Earnhardt had the most poles with 8.
-Mark Martin had the 2nd most with 4.
-Terry Labonte had the 3rd most with 3.
-Rusty Wallace, Jimmy Spencer, Bobby Labonte, and Jeff Gordon all tied for 4th most with 2 poles each.
-And as a standout Pole Winner: Craftsman Truck Series driver Ron Hornaday Jr. won the pole for the 2nd Martinsville race (92.969 mph), securing himself a spot in the 1997 Busch Clash
-Ron ended up finishing 7th in that race.
27 of the 60 drivers recorded a Top-5 finish.
-Terry Labonte, Dale Earnhardt, and Jeff Gordon all had 20 Top-5's each
-Mark Martin had 17.
-Dale Jarrett had 16.
42 of the 60 drivers recorded a Top-10 finish.
-Dale Earnhardt had the most with 26.
-Jeff Gordon had the 2nd most with 23.

-Champion Dale Earnhardt only had one, coming at the spring Bristol race, finishing 36th after winning the pole.
Dale Earnhardt had the best Starting and Finishing Position average with 5.16 and 6.61 respectively.
Terry Labonte won the most Bonus Points with 39.
-Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon both had 34.
Terry Labonte ran the most laps at 4,578 (98.6%) and led the most laps with 1,208 (26.02%)
1. Terry Labonte holds off teammate Jeff Gordon to win his 10th race of my 1996 Season in the Dura Lube 500 in Phoenix.
2. However, Dale Earnhardt clinches a record 8th Winston Cup Championship with a 4th place finish, leaving with a 46-point lead over Terry Labonte. Like Labonte in the real '96 season, consistency pays off.
Finally, the Season Standings.
