The race took the scheduled 200 laps to complete. In the final laps of the race, Hendrick Motorsports driver Ricky Rudd would manage to take advantage of a fuel-stricken Mark Martin, coasting his car to the finish on fuel to take his 14th career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his only victory of the season.{{Cite news |last=Harris |first=Mike |date=June 21, 1993 |title=It's Miller time for Rudd |pages=17 |work=The Times |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/116089534/its-miller-time-for-rudd/ |access-date=January 9, 2023 |via=Newspapers.com}} {{Open access}}{{Cite news |last=Higgins |first=Tom |date=June 21, 1993 |title=Rudd gives it the gas to take Miller 400 race |pages=17 |work=Journal Tribune |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/116089709/rudd-gives-it-the-gas-to-take-miller/ |access-date=January 9, 2023 |via=Newspapers.com}} {{Open access}} To fill out the top three, Hendrick Motorsports driver Jeff Gordon and Morgan–McClure Motorsports driver Ernie Irvan would finish second and third, respectively.

The race was held at Michigan International Speedway, a two-mile (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located in Brooklyn, Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is known as a "sister track" to Texas World Speedway as MIS's oval design was a direct basis of TWS, with moderate modifications to the banking in the corners, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by International Speedway Corporation. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards).
