The 1996 The Winston was a Winston Cup (now Nextel Cup) All-Star event held at Lowe's Motor Speedway on May 20, 1996. Michael Waltrip pulled out a shocker, barely transferring from the Open, and then making a daring three-wide move to claim his first Cup win (despite the fact it was a non-points event). Eventual season champ Terry Labonte was 5th.
