The 1995 Hanes 500 was the eighth stock car race of the 1995 NASCAR Winston Cup Series and the 39th iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, April 23, 1995, in Martinsville, Virginia at Martinsville Speedway, a 0.526 miles (0.847 km) permanent oval-shaped short track. The race was shortened from its scheduled 500 laps to 356 laps due to impending darkness. At race's end, Penske Racing South driver Rusty Wallace was able to dominate the majority of the race when the race was called for darkness with delays of the race coming from a rain delay. The win was Wallace's 40th career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victory and his first victory of the season. To fill out the top three, Roush Racing driver Ted Musgrave and Hendrick Motorsports driver Jeff Gordon would finish second and third,
