The 1995 Miller Genuine Draft 500 was the 12th stock car race of the 1995 NASCAR Winston Cup Series and the 27th iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, June 4, 1995, in Dover, Delaware at Dover International Speedway, a 1-mile (1.6 km) permanent oval-shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 500 laps to complete. Ending a two-year long winless drought, Team SABCO driver Kyle Petty would manage to dominate a majority of the race to take his eighth and final career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his only victory of the season.[1][2] To fill out the top three, Joe Gibbs Racing driver Bobby Labonte and Roush Racing driver Ted Musgrave would finish second and third, respectively.
