Ron Fellows, Butch Letizinger, and Kevin Harvick had a great battle for the lead in the closing laps. Some other notes: Mike McLaughlin had one of his better finishes of a dismal 2000 year. Dick Trickle was replaced very early in the going by Dale Quarterly, who failed to qualify. Tom Hubert had a strong run going but was soon plagued by mechanical issues. This is from my memory bank: Jamie Aube's car had one of the weirdest sounding engines you'd ever hear. It sounded off the pace, almost like an IndyCar engine, and sounded like it was about to blow any second. 2.

He realized it as he entered the turn and tried to drive off the track. He slammed head on into the styroform barriers. When he exited his car, he stood on his roof to celebrate that he was still alive. If those barriers hadn't been there, who knows what would have happened. It was that bad. 3.

Anyone remember why Curtis Markham was in the 4 this weekend? 4.

Getting back to the rookie battle I think it is pretty safe to say Johnson has emerged as the better driver. Also, it really looked like he struggled a lot in the Busch Series like most stars of NASCAR Nextel Cup. Mainly because of the team or the reduced wheelbase and lighter cars underneath the hood. 6.

RaceFanX posted: 10.07.2012 - 7:07 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) This was back in the era when this was a combination race with Busch North and it wasn't unheard of for races at the Glen, NHIS or Nazerath to have larger fields of up to 44 cars because of that. 12.

Boom! Confetti." Already I've realized how immature I was when I started posting here. In all seriousness, it's kind of a miracle that he survived the crash. He literally went from 100 to 0 in less than a second, and this was before the HANS device. Thankfully he was all right, 2000 and 2001 were some dark years for safety. 20. Braindead Zombie posted: 05.03.2016 - 8:29 pm Rate this comment: (0) (2) No problem man. I had so many immature and cringeworthy comments when I first became a regular poster here. One of my first ever comments (as 88&4Fan, not counting the Anonymous/ other names I posted as from late 2014 to early 2015 before becoming a regular poster) was this: "I'm really wondering whose idiot decision it was to hire Rick Allen as the lead announcer. Obviously they never listened to him in the truck series. He is godawful." 21. stricklinfan82 posted: 07.24.2016 - 11:43 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) To the rear: #5 Trickle and #18 Leffler (backup cars) 22.

This was Sawyer's first Busch series top-10 finish on a road course. 23. RaceFanX posted: 08.04.2019 - 7:39 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Surprisingly the Herzog Motorsports team didn't scrap Jimmie Johnson's demolished #92 Alltel Chevrolet Monte Carlo after his famous wreck here. Instead the chassis was saved and ended up sitting at the shop. When the team shut down in 2003 Johnson found out that they still had his Watkins Glen car and purchased it then restored it back to perfect condition. Today it's still in his personal car collection. 24. rtc1485 posted: 12.17.2019 - 10:32 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Is this one of the only times there were cars with an "N" in a national series? That alone with 44 positions. I don't really remember how all this came about 25.

In any event, as Z noted, this was a combination Busch/Busch North event, the "N" cars scored Busch North points. To my recollection, NASCAR only ran the joint events for a couple of years - they were not all that popular with the North teams. 28.
