- Geoff Bodine failed to qualify car #07 at Sonoma, but his Craftsman Truck driver Dave Rezendes timed in 23rd. Team owner Geoff Bodine drove the qualified entry, but considering that the 7 car had a provisional available, it is unclear why Bodine entered both cars.
- Bobby Hillin, Jr. failed to qualify his regular ride at Bristol, but filled in for Bill Elliott who was still feeling effects from his nasty crash at Talladega.

Rookie of the Year
Johnny Benson was the only rookie to make a full-time run in the 1996 season, making him the 1996 Rookie of the Year. Benson ended the year with one top-5, six top 10's, and one pole. Gary Bradberry, Randy MacDonald, and Stacy Compton all made attempts at the award as well, but did not run enough times to catch Benson.
