  • Missing the intro. This one was action packed from start to finish. Possibly due to the constant threat of rain cutting the event short, which it did. There was a 2.5 hour rain delay just before halfway. NASCAR pulled the plug just before 1 am eastern time, completing 333 laps or roughly 500 of the 600 miles. Dale Earnhardt's 4 wide pass down the backstretch at 3:14:05 was one of the best moves I've seen in years. Classic Intimidator.

      If nascar pulled the bullshit they pulled this race the last minute curfew. Nobody knew about this curfew until they told the teams 15 minutes before and robbed everyone of the full race they guaranteed everyone by restarting the race after the rain delay instead of finishing it on Monday the more logical call. It was totally obvious the fix was in for Gordon here. Imagine the outrage if this happened today in nascar.

    @BigBob8824 If i am correct, Nascar only reserved that 43rd position for a past champion's provisional at the time, so if a PC didn't use it, there were only 42 starters. In 1998 they changed it so that the entire field would be 43 cars and the PC provisional would be used if needed. Another interesting fact is at the Phoenix and Sonoma races, there would be 44 starters because Nascar would reserve a spot for one of the Winston West drivers b/c they shared the weekend with Cup

      I don't think it was. I remember I toted my 4 year old and a 12pk cooler for "The 1996 Winston" in from the dragstrip," no predestination bridge" back then. Entered the main gate past the tunnel, around turn 4&3. past the east paddock down to turn two to only have Dale & Terry get tangled up for the lead and Mikey Waltrip back into victory lane for the Woods..by the time I returned to my car I looked like Popeye!!!

    1:06:00 the Mentee vs the Mentor!! Dale recognized the potential in Jeff Gordon and used it to mentor him and take advantage of the rivalry!! I respected the hell out of Jeff, being a Earnhardt fan because he had the same type of grit and determination even though he didn’t work for it like the likes of say Earnhardt did but he had the nads to jump in with the big boys that says a lot about his character!!

    Because they didn't had the full season where they had 43 cars every race. It didn't start until 1998 & continue so on. However there was 42 cars in the New Hampshire race in 2001 & Jeff Gordon was a huge performer after winning the championship. But another Gordon (Robby) a guy we don't hear from anymore same with Steve Wallace. But Robby won the race & it was an upset compare to Jamie's in 2002 when he won Charlotte.

    "Fireball" Roberts Was A Pitcher For The Zellwood Mud Hens, An American Legion Baseball Team, Where He Earned The Nickname, "Fireball" Because of His Fastball. Having Nothing To Do With His NickName, “Fireball Roberts” and His Fiery Crash on May 24, 1964, Resulting In His Death On July 2, 1964, Led To Improvements In Fire-Resistant Suits.
    "Fireball" Roberts' Death, As Well As The Deaths Of Eddie Sachs And Dave MacDonald At The Indianapolis 500, Six Days After Roberts’ Crash, LED To An Increase In Research On Fire-retardant Uniforms. It Also LED To The Development Of The Firestone Racesafe Fuel Cell. Modern Race Cars Use A Foam-filled Fuel Cell To Prevent Fuel Spillage Of The Magnitude Of Roberts Car. Also, Fully Fire-Retardant Coveralls Would Be Phased In, Leading To Mandatory Nomex Racing Suits.
