I was there! It was the 2nd track i attended being from Western NY we went to the Glen every year but mom had recently moved us to NC. She took my brother and i! 😢❤
@@badbooking3221 Mike Joy was and is way better Eli Gold. I was so glad that FOX decided go with Mike, especially after his time with CBS, TBS, & TNN.
This racing is so much better than what they have today. High power and lots of letting off to get through the corners. The cars today are just glued to the track like slot cars and are way underpowered.
Stewart & Sadler was the only ones lasted the full season. The rest of the candidates didn't last. Buckshot did part time and went back to the Busch Series taking over Larry Pearson mid-season

Crazy that a race at Rockingham went that long without a caution
Where was Eli Gold? A bit of a throwback day seeing Mike Joy on TNN.
I think Eli had a basketball obligation, could be wrong.
as a radio broadcaster for University of Alabama and still active today, BTW.

Jeff Gordon finished 39th which snapped a streak of 21 straight top 10 finishes (still a NASCAR record)

Wow, Mike Joy looks no different.
7 ROY candidates? Stewart, Sadler and Buckshot for sure. Barrett, Pardus, Harmon, and...?

It’s a god damn shame Nascar took this place off the schedule 20 years ago. If they brought wilkesboro back they darn well can bring the Rock back!!!
They’re trying. They just got money to renovate the place last year so we are close I believe
Rockingham is back (kinda). The Xfinity Series & Truck Series is set to race here in 2025. No Cup race tho

Not much you can do about mechanical failure. Jeff had as many engine failures as he did wins in 1999 and that killed any chance of a championship.
