Steve Carlson takes his Phillips 66 #66 to victory lane after fittingly
leading the final 66 laps of the race on the way to the win. It was a
strong start to the 2000 NASCAR Re/Max Challenge season for Carlson and
he'd go on to have seven wins this year en route to the series championship.

Paul Menard makes his debut in a major NASCAR touring series but lasts
less than four miles before a suspension failure put his #18 on the
sidelines. It was an inauspicious start to his career but Menard would
go on to run three full seasons on the Midwest tour before he started
working his way up toward the Cup series.

Scott Wimmer came into this race hot off winning his first ASA race four
days earlier. His first NASCAR Midwest start in a year and a half sees
him finish 10th to claim his only top-10 finish in this series.

Tim Schendel may have gone on to win the ROTY in 2000, but his season
started out about as rough as possible. Schendel had to make the show by
finishing 3rd in the 13-car last chance qualifying race that saw just
four drivers transfer in that way (though the next four finishers were
added via the promoter's option) and promptly became involved in the
day's first caution. Five cars wrecked in turns 1 and 2 and Schendel had
the most spectacular exit of that group, tearing the front bodywork
completely off his car and sending his hood fluttering away from the track.
