From DifferentHistory Wiki

The 1996 NASCAR Winston Cup Series was the 48th season of professional stock car racing in the United States and the 25th modern era NASCAR Cup series.

1996 marked the final year the Chrysler brand would be seen in NASCAR. Starting in 1997, Chrysler exclusively used the Dodge name. It was also the final year the car design introduced in 1981 (now known as the "Legacy Car") was used, being replaced by the SAFER Car in 1997.
