I watched this with my grandma Audrey Potter. She didn't no nothing about racing and she was off her seat when Kenseth won. She grew up in Marshall Wisconsin. I miss u grandma u really do
Wow I almost forgot about just how far Matt Kenseth came from his career beginnings. I mean that firesuit with nothing on it/ unsponsored car in his first win then going on to have a HOF career with 2 of the best organizations of the time is pretty damn impressive 👏🏼
Watching the Robbie Reiser interview with Jr on Dirty Mo that just came out. Apparently they put Lycos on the car for this race but Lycos was only a 1 race deal for Daytona. Lycos did not pay to be on the car for this race in Rockingham but they put them on the car hoping they would notice.

A star is born
I'm here because I watch the DJ podcast with Robbie. Great to actually see what they were talking about.
Who came here after watching the Dale Jr interview with Robbie Riser?
Can confirm
YT recommended it. Thank you YT
Me
100% I wanted to see the finish.
Of course, Lycos and later DeWalt Power Tools joins up with Kenseth and Reiser and the rest is history.

Best driver in NASCAR in my opinion! Been a fan of Matt "The Brat" since he started subbing for Bill Elliot way back when!
The yellow 17 on the car would later stay when Kenseth went to Dewalt.
Although he stayed a Chevy despite of making a cup debut as a blue oval of Ford driver
I love how Rockingham allowed you to roll through the corners the way it did
Cool times, miss these days.
This was exciting to watch as Darrell put it.... No major sponser. the look on their faces with two laps to go, lollll.

Kenseth is cool
like if u agree
Kenseth was a way better driver before he got hair plugs
That lap traffic actually helped Kenseth, making his back straight longer letting him get a nice 34 run
I was at that race. Remember it like yesterday.
Worst decision matt Kenneth made was driving for jack roush
