The late Davey Allison was tragically taken from us in 1993. What track was the site of his last Cup series win?

The late great Davey Allison's final career win came at Richmond Int'l Raceway on March 7, 1993 in the #28 Havoline Ford Thunderbird for Robert Yates.  I had the honor of seeing Davey race Pocono in 1992 and NHIS in 1993 in person.  Unfortunately, the inaugural Loudon event holds the distinction of being the final race of his distinguished career as he was killed in a helicopter crash in Talladega, AL. I don't believe he was wearing a helmet.  The passenger was the ageless wonder Red Farmer (still racing!).  Sadly, the next race (which I also attended) was the race where we mourned the loss of a future Nextel Cup champion in the making.  Earnhardt won that day and Rusty Wallace finished 2nd.  They went around the track backwards after the race one carrying a #7 flag for the reigning champ Alan Kulwicki and a #28 flag for Davey.  Hard to believe that was 13 years ago....seems like yesterday!
