Last start for Chuck Bown. He was released by the team he once won a
championship with after this race.

This was the late Tony Roper's best Busch Series finish (8th).

This race had an odd pit stop setup. A competition caution would be
waved at laps 100 and 200. Those would be the only times that teams
could change tires on the car. If you had a flat you had special
permission to change that one tire only. The reason for this is cause of
South Boston's narrow and tight pit row. It wasn't suited for high speed
green flag stops.

and to add to the last comment, each "competition caution" would be 5
laps long, however it wouldn't count toward the lap counter. So laps
would freeze at 100 and 200.

halftime in the truck races, yuk!

An intriguing coincidence, how the Busch careers of two champions (Bown
and Pearson) came to an end in this one mid-season race.

In an odd move, Dave Blaney skips this race and runs the cup race. He
was 8th in Busch Points at the time and he finished 33rd in the Cup race.

This race was not good to be leading.

Both Dick Trickle and Todd Bodine were spun out while leading in this
race. Trickle was caught up when the lapped car of Lyndon Amick spun on
the inside after a restart. Bodine and Jeff Green got together later in
the race, resulting in the 66 spinning out, but not bringing out the
caution.

Green had the best car at the end of the race, but Junior held onto the
lead due to the slim racing groove at the tiny bullring.

Hank Parker Jr. made a surge at the end, but didn't have enough talent
to get around the two up front.

philip morris was the last car to get in the field on speed. he edged
greg marlowe by .007 seconds for the final go-or-go-home spot, then
charged to a seventh place finish.

Only 33 cars. Wow, was the pit road that much of an issue?

Watching the replay of the race now, Bown was overcome with heat
exhaustion late in the race and had to be taken out in an ambulance. I
imagine that may have been a factor in his decision to retire?

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. wins both his second race in a row and his second
race of 1999. This Busch Series win marked the first time "Little E" won
from the pole in this series and the only time he would do so during his
two-year tenure as a series regular.
