Stanley Smith comes back from being one of the only human beings to ever
survive a basal skull fracture and claims his only SES win.

Stanley Smith left the higher ranks of NASCAR after his near-fatal crash
at Talladega in 1993 but what a comeback he made afterward in the lower
levels. He started running All Pro again in 2001 and while he typically
only made a few starts a year he ran pretty well when he did as shown
here with this superspeedway victory while running a part-time campaign.

Then-late model racer Leilani Munter's only attempt to run a Southeast
race ends before it begins with a DNS.

Smith's late-career comeback was extremely remarkable.

More info:

Munter was actually in a Pontiac. She had drivetrain issues in
qualifying and they opted to save the motor in what was her lone super
late model at the time. To date this is Munter's only "race" in NASCAR,
though she had previously signed a contract to go Busch racing in 2003
and 2004 but it never panned out.

Munter once hosted a segment on the NASCAR.com website called "Leilani
Reports" which did promote that she was a driver. I'm surprised she
hasn't got a start in any series to date.

Attendance - 26,590 (The Southeast Series, ASA, and the Dash series all
ran events at Kentucky on the same day, back to back to back)

54 DNF reason - radiator

Like the ASA race, this was marred by several big accidents.

Wayne Bowen nearly tore the entire front end of his car off during the
second big crash. Greg Pope had most of his driver's side door peeled
back after he and Erik Darnell made contact during the melee.

A lead weight fell off of some car onto the track, causing the third of
the big wrecks. JR Norris just glanced it before Jeff Fultz had it come
through and bounce right off of his radiator, laying down some fluid and
taking several cars out of contention when they wrecked behind him. The
lead block basically caused Fultz's radiator to bend in half. Ouch. Just
12 cars finished the race.
