Track name was Music City Motorplex

Also, the race was scheduled for April 18 and was postponed by rain

Looks like Scott Hansen and Mike Miller had a heck of a battle for the
lead between laps 124 and 151!

An unknown driver named Jimmie Johnson nearly scored his first career
ASA win in this race, but lost the lead with 22 laps to go and finished
2nd. He would have to wait until the following year before he finally
won in ASA. Yet just 3 years after that, he would be a Winston Cup winner.

Johnson wasn't really a total unknown in 1998 but he was still basically
"that off-road truck racer" people were surprised was taking a serious
stab at stock cars and not seen as much just yet. You're right though
that his great run here was a sign that he was fast figuring out the
whole car racing thing and would be a real threat in the years to come.
