This was my first ever in person nascar race. I was 8 years old. I was in turn 2. Ill never forget Joe wrecking and catching fire in the grass between 1 and 2. First wreck I ever saw in person.
I'm sure it helped the case, but looking at Jayski, it says Dover didn't get SAFER barriers until the 2004/2005 seasons, one of the last tracks to get them. Surprising since some of the hardest crashes happen in Dover.
I was there with my mom up between turns 1&2 the June race in 04 and as soon as Jeff got wrecked in that multi car pileup, Both of us were pulling for Smoke who finished 2nd to Mark Martin.
Matt Kenseth left this race with a 436 point lead in the standings, the largest since Dale Earnhardt had a 444 point lead at the end of the 1994 season
I was fine with the elimination of racing back to the caution because it was too risky and dangerous. However, I thought and still think the lucky dog/free pass wasn't necessary. I hold the belief that if you want your lap(s) back you need to earn it passing the leader under the green flag. Compared to many of NASCAR's later gimmicky, unnecessary rule changes the lucky dog looks mild today but I still don't like it.
Jeremy had one of the best runs of the season at the end of the year. Newman was the thorn in his side the last 12 races
Little did they know, Brian France would single-handedly destroy NASCAR as well as getting arrested for DUI

Dover definitely didn't have one of the biggest operating budgets back then or now.

Bill France Sr and Jr Did everything they could to build the sport of NASCAR Racing. Brian France did everything to destroy it.
Great racing there ty
Jeremy should’ve tried to pass him up top
Was pulling hard for Mayfield here
The first of Dale jr's concussions
Nah. 2002 Fontana crash with Harvick was earlier than this.
@@adblueranger6098 That flip at Daytona in 1998 in the Busch series was one of the first acknowledged concussions Junior received in his career.
@tartass342 I used to, but I had to tape it over, so I don't have it.
