Most laps that Tony Stewart ever led in a race (333). Surprisingly, it was during his rookie season! Even the most races he won in a season came in 2000 (6). You just knew with a hot start like that, he was gonna be one of the tough guys, & he showed it 💪🏻

I like the mini recap of the previos races. I think they should do this again

This race was also Dale Jr.'s 1st career Top 10, in just his 4th start.

Wow, how many people went to see a race with no stages 🤯

Y'all should do this a lotmore because I love re-watching these races that I had to play with the bunny ears in order to watch crystal clear

Great archive footage. Thanks NASCAR for upload.

Was really cool seeing Dale Earnhardt come to congratulate Tony. Could see them in the background when they were interviewing Joe Gibbs. I was still a big Earnhardt fan then but when we lost him, I jumped to Stewart.

I counted 5 drivers in this race that are no longer with us. Earnhardt, Irwin, Andretti, Hamilton and Trickle. RIP

My NASCAR days. I miss these days so much. I stopped watching sometime around 2010.

Around 4:50 they mention the old pit road disadvantage at Darlington. That got me thinking, why don't we bring that back where possible? It adds extra meaning to qualifying and race strategy for those stuck there.
