this was a great race. i missed the first 20-30 laps in traffic coming
over after the iroc race. even though i love iroc, i was glad they moved
the race from the brickyard because it made the commute from the
speedway to irp that much tougher. plus, the iroc race at indy just
wasn't very exciting.

the weird thing about this race was... i remember thinking to myself
"ron is going to win the BGN championship next year" after the win. he
had great equipment and had a good run in 2000. if he stayed with DEI i
thought it was his title to lose.

sadly, even after this win DEI had pretty much planned on releasing
hornaday at the season's end. i can't remember the reasoning, but i do
recall reading in a forum somewhere that dale & ron had some bad blood
of some sort, and that ron was on his way out with the organization. too
bad because i really liked ron and thought the two were a great fit for
the busch series.

I actually thought that the plan was to move the 3 NAPA team up to cup
for Waltrip. I believe that DEI ended up selling the cars and equipment
off to AJ Foyt.

A full year after Anonymous' post Hillin unexpectedly came back for a
race at Kansas in 2008. Still for many years this looked like Hillin's
last race

Jeff Purvis finishes second for the second race in a row and the third
time over the course of five races...but despite that success he
wouldn't win a race in 2000. All three of these strong runs came in
standalone events and he finished runner-up behind Busch regulars each
time.

How come Ned was in the booth for this race instead of the Brickyard 400
the following day

@11 Best guess is that the Brickyard was shown on ABC and Ned had a
contract with CBS. His CBS contract didn't affect his ability to work
for ESPN however, which I'm going to assume that was covering the Busch
race.
