Was this the race that Terry Labonte took off his IROC uniform and threw
it in the garbage?? What happened between him and Earnhardt?

Johnny Benson Jr becomes the first driver to represent the NASCAR Busch
Series in IROC with this event.

Steve Kinser crashed his car and was forced into the IROC backup car,
the spare car with no name on the side, for this event.

Labonte was so mad because five drivers (Earnhardt, Marlin, Kendall,
Jeff Gordon, and Robby Gordon) pitted for tires under the caution.
Apparently it was a new rule that you could pit for tires under caution
without penalty. Terry felt the rule was unfair because everything about
the series was supposed to be equal and pit strategy ruined the idea of
the series. I don't think that rule lasted very long.

Terry's post race interview was classic.

It would be nice to watch Labonte's interview.
