Like Gordon or not, this was a dominating win. And jr finished 11th
despite 2 spins.

Michael Waltrip had an engine failure in quailifing, and came from 40th
to 4th place.

I dont like Robby Gordon, but I felt bad for him. His tire comes out and
he crashes, he cuts down 3 tires, during a pit stop a thrown tire cut
the air hose! What a nightmare.

JG dominated the entire Cup weekend. Won the pole, led all 3 practices,
led the most laps and won the race.

That was the most pointless entry ever. Couldn't you have said Jeff
Gordon dominated the weekend, instead of taking up about 5 miles of the
page?

After the race Tony Stewart and Brian Vickers were involved in a small
argument on pit road. The bad thing is Tony was angry at Vickers but
Vickers was taken out by Tony in turn 11. One of the many odd moments
for the 20 car.

Very boring race.

Nice 3rd by Scott Pruett.

Finally saw this race for the first time and, actually, it wasn't
anywhere near as boring of a race as I expected.

Gordon dominated, certainly, but it was an excellent day for Chip
Ganassi (except for Sterling Marlin's struggles) with McMurray, Pruett,
and later, even Casey Mears working their way into the top 5. Pruett was
running near-identical lap times to Gordon, McMurray was steady
throughout the race, and Mears even slammed doors with Rusty Wallace
racing for 3rd late in the race.

Also very surprising top-20 runs for west coast driver Jim Inglebright
and German road racer Klaus Graf in their Cup Series debuts.

Jeff Burton (in an unsponsored car) and Elliott Sadler spun in the
middle stages of the race, but came back for a pair of great finishes
while Dale Jr. pulled a 180, hit the inside wall in the Chute, was spun
again some laps later, and still finished 11th. Tony Stewart was also
involved in a very early incident with Ward Burton and came back to
finish 15th.

There were some unfortunate struggles that ended promising runs as well.
Besides the terrible luck for Robby Gordon and Rusty Wallace, Kurt Busch
led the opening lap, but lost a ton of laps when he had on oil leak.
Kasey Kahne used pit strategy to get up to 2nd, but spun after running
off course in turn 2. Brian Vickers was easily a top 15 car all day
until he spun late in turn 11. Jeremy Mayfield was in the top 10 in the
final 10 laps, but he spun in turn four on his old tires. When Mayfield
returned to the track, he nearly wrecked Ricky Craven and blocked Ken
Schrader, forcing Schrader to lose several spots himself.

And, after being involved in a couple early incidents himself,
then-rookie Scott Riggs hit the tire barrier A TON in turn 10, but
somehow got his heavily-damaged Chevy back to pit road.

Actually, I correct myself, it was Inglebright's second Cup Series
start. Still impressive, nonetheless.

blaneyfan66, Austin Cameron's first start was in the 2002 Infineon race,
not this race. Also, to date this is Austin Cameron's last career start
in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Rumor was Michael Waltrip actually had Ron Fellows run up in a NAPA
driver suit as the National Anthem was complete, climb in the car posing
as M Waltrip and drove whole race while Mikey stayed hidden in the garage.

This was the race where Jamie McMurray first proved himself as a
formidable road course driver. Also I wouldn't be at all surprised if
Mikey did that, he has always struck me as kind of (to put it bluntly)
dishonest. And thats even without that whole Spingate fiasco.

A Trans-Am race was run immediately following this race. After finishing
sixth in Cup, Boris Said won the TransAm event.

West Coast racer Jim Inglebright makes his second and final Cup start,
bringing home a career-best top-20 effort in a one-of for RCR.
Inglebright knows the Sonoma track well so RCR drafted him in to take
over the #30 America Online Chevrolet for this one to serve as something
as a road course ringer in place of its new normal driver Dave Blaney.

Jeff Burton comes home ninth in a plain white, unsponsored Roush Racing
#99 Ford. His finished ninth in both his first and last Sonoma outings
for the Cat in the Hat.

If the loop data was first used in 2004, this race would've given Jeff
Gordon a 150 driver rating.

Fifteen years later, only four drivers that were in this race are still
in the series: Harvick, Newman, Kurt Busch, and Johnson, and Johnson is
the only one still with the same team. It's also interesting to note
that Busch has been teammates with Newman and Harvick, and Harvick and
Newman essentially switched teams at one time.

Four drivers pulled double-duty with the Southwest Tour race the day
before the Cup show, with Jim Inglebright being the only one to actually
finish the race. Boris Said dominated the race but crashed out when the
race went into a GWC finish, with Kevin Harvick suffering the same fate.
Tom Hubert exited early on with a transmission failure.

Said mostly made up for the crash here, tying his career-best Cup finish
at the time by finishing 6th. RCR teammates Kevin Harvick and Jim
Inglebright came home 12th and 19th, respectively, while Tom Hubert was
parked after turning 5 laps in Kirk Shelmerdine's badly underpowered Ford.

Sonoma moved some tire barriers around in an effort to improve driver
safety and increase the amount of green-flag racing, moving the tires
100 feet further back in some places. Naturally, the drivers made sure
to either still hit the tires or hit the jersey barriers/concrete walls
instead. NASCAR also said they were going to make the effort to not call
full-course cautions if they really didn't need to, but the 6 cautions
in this race matched the 2003 race's number anyway.

Austin Cameron smacked the wall just past the start-finish line on the
very first lap and spent some time behind the wall to make repairs. When
he came back on the track, the right side door number was now duct tape
instead. He had a very bad day, to say the least.

Among the drivers who spun/crashed but didn't bring out a caution:
Austin Cameron (three times), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (twice), Scott Riggs
(twice), Brendan Gaughan (twice), Brandon Ash, Rusty Wallace, Kurt
Busch, Sterling Marlin (twice), Robby Gordon (twice), Matt Kenseth,
Bobby Labonte, Larry Gunselman, Jeff Burton, Brian Vickers, and Jeremy
Mayfield.

while Kirk Shelmerdine practiced the 72 car.

In addition to testing the #16 and racing the #72, Hubert also PITTED
the #22 as a rear tire changer, which was his regular NASCAR job.

Brock Beard's Rise of the Field Fillers is just as superb as I thought
it would be.

Scott Pruett had a good chance of winning this race. Unfortunately, he
got boxed in and lost a couple of spots on his final pit stop and ran
out of time to catch Jeff Gordon at the end. But all race long, Pruett
was better than Gordon on the long run, and had Pruett come out of the
pits right behind Gordon (which is how they entered), Pruett may well
have won this race. The stats may show that Gordon dominated, but Pruett
stayed right with him all race long.
