Did anyone watch this race? I can't believe there are no comments on it
so far. I mean, it wasn't that good of a race, but still.

This race was on the Daytona Road Course in the infield, not a suprise
Tony Stewart wins who will prolly win this year's IROC championship.

Tony Stewart showed his versatility during this weekend.

Part One: Starting on the back row of the IROC grid, he nearly led the
3rd lap of the race, but after "Mad" Max Papis led the first three laps,
Stewart never looked back, and even built up a lead of over 10 seconds
before the competition caution.

Part Two: For Saturday night's Pepsi 400, Stewart started on the outside
pole and led the opening laps. He had the dominant car and ran in the
Top 5 most of the night, except during green flag pit stops. Before a
late restart, he was able to determine that the leader Boris Said was
nervous, just by watching the way Boris was weaving his car to clean the
tires! Stewart passed him on the outside with a few laps to go to win
the race. Two wins on two totally different race courses at the same
facility on the same weekend.

Steve Kinser's first road race ever, he did decent for a guy who never
turned right on a racetrack before

this race was cool, nascar should add more road races for sure. watkins
glen and sonoma are two of the best races year in year out. i get so
sick of ovals. if iroc ever comes back, they should run 2 road races,
and 2 oval races.

Final road course race for IROC.

Final IROC race at Daytona and the second on the road course. This event
forms a nice bookend, the only other Daytona road course IROC race was
the first IROC race ever at Daytona in 1974.

Ted Musgrave gains the "honor" of being the last driver to ever drop out
of an IROC race.

Max Angelelli's final IROC start, he shared his ride with road race
teammate Wayne Taylor and didn't run the finale

Since this race was run on the Daytona road course at night the IROC
stock cars were equipped with working headlights for this event, an
extremely rare occurance for stock cars. The lights were not in the
standard position for a Pontiac Firebird, they were lower to the ground
on either side of the nose.

This race saw an unusual crash. On a restart from a caution on lap 11
the field came off the oval and into the road course section when Scott
Sharp was forced off the track by Max Angelelli. Sharp recovered but was
promptly spun by Sam Hornish Jr. Sharp's car spun backward down the
track at the same time that the field sped down to the infield course's
first right hand turn and as the field rounded the turn Sharp's out of
control car inadvertedly ended up crashing backward into Hornish's car.
It was one of the most bizarre forms of racing karma you will ever see.

Max Papis' second here was his best finish in IROC.

Mike Joy, Larry McReynolds and Jeff Hammond were the commentators. Matt
Yocum was the sole pit road reporter.

Since the Bud Shootout/The Clash is running the road course this year
and both that race and IROC always have small field sizes I thought it
made sense to watch this to get ready for the race.
