Tuhia he tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I te mutunga o ngā tūnga o te haki matomato, ko te tauhou a Scott Wimmer o Bill Davis Racing i mua. I hurihia e te kaihautū anake ngā taera taha matau, nāna ia i eke mai i te whitu, i te waru rānei o ngā tūnga ki te whai wāhi ki te wikitōria. Heoi, kaore he hoa tuhi, a ka hopukina e te tere tere atu a Stewart me Earnhardt, Jr. me te 25 huringa ki te mutunga. I pahemo a Earnhardt, Jr. i a Stewart i te porowhita 181 ka pupuri ia ia i nga porowhita e toe ana ki te wikitoria i tana Daytona 500 tuatahi. I wikitoria a Earnhardt, Jr. i te whakataetae e toru tau tonu i muri i te hinganga o tona papa i te huringa whakamutunga o te whakataetae 2001
, i toa ai a Waltrip i tana whakataetae tuatahi e toru tau i muri i te wikitoria a Earnhardt i te whakataetae 1998.
