His grandmother (my aunt) asked how I was doing, and I said not so good. The guys I wanted to win the Daytona Busch race had crashed out: Hut Stricklin, Casey Atwood, Adam Petty, and Kenny Irwin. 4. michael posted: 07.17.2006 - 3:31 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) mike skinners sponsor was ameco not pameco 5.

You would have up to 38 Chevys a race in some of them. 8. SK posted: 09.04.2007 - 12:16 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Kevin Harvick finishes in the top-5 in only his second BGN start. 9.

There just wasn't any interest at the time I think. 10. Patrick posted: 08.09.2008 - 12:59 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) P.J. Jones' nationwide/busch debut. 11.

Evan posted: 07.13.2009 - 9:28 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Matt Kenseth wins in a Chevy? Wish Robby Reiser just moved his team up to Cup so Matt could drive a Chevy. I'd like him better if he did that. This race was remembered for the wild flip Michael Waltrip took. Also Jimmie Johnson can't DNQ a race anymore, he is the Cup Champion. The Cup Champion does not fail to make a race because of the past champ's provisional. 13. Dale Jr. posted: 01.28.2010 - 8:02 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Jeff Green's first flip at lap 13.

RaceFanX posted: 03.21.2017 - 6:45 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Always great to get a win in the first race with a new sponsor... Matt Kenseth moved up to Winston Cup in 2000 but he still continued to run a majority of the Busch series schedule in the #17 Chevrolet owned by Robbie Reiser, who was now also his Cup crew chief. Kenseth and Reiser's new Busch series deal saw them pair team up with new NASCAR sponsor Visine eye drops for a full-season effort; Kenseth would run the majority of the schedule with NASCAR Midwest Tour standout Jason Schuler stepping in to pinch hit when he wasn't available. Interestingly Kenseth drove for Ford for Jack Roush in Cup but he keep racing a Chevrolet for Reiser in Busch and that situation would stay that way for a few years before Reiser's squad would eventually switch to Ford. 28. most1305 posted: 03.26.2017 - 12:26 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Was looking up Dave Steele's career, 5 of the drivers who made this race and 9 total who attempted it are now deceased, very high number. 29.

He didn't walk normally at all but his eyes look more glazed than a Krispy Kreme donut. 32.

Nemechek was also fastest in second-day qualifying, so started 26th. 33.

RaceFanX posted: 02.14.2021 - 1:31 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The #7 Chevrolet Michael Waltrip flipped here was so demolished afterward it was unsurprisingly sent to the crusher following its destruction...though oddly someone kept the cubed remains of the car afterward and they are now in a race car museum. Apparently the cube was saved, among other things, to continue the joke that Waltrip took such a bruising wild ride in a car backed by Band-Aid. This was Waltrip's first Busch race after changing the number of his self-owned undercard series entry. He previously ran #21 from 1997 to 1999 to match his 1997-1998 Winston Cup number and changed to #7 to start this season for the same reason. He would start running the #99 in some races later in the year as part of his new "Aaron's Dream Machine" sponsor but continued running the #7 for Band-Aid in some races before a full-time move to the Aaron's #99 in 2001. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
