A then rookie ( :? holy crap i'm old) Bobby Labonte was second and hard charging Ted Musgrave third.


I was at that race... oh and Bobby Labonte was a rookie in '93

Oops, you're right.. He was actually just coming off of his first win. I forgot he was in Gordon's rookie class. My memory is slipping in my old age!c :thumbsup:

I'm not a fan of having too many night races on the schedule, but I think a night race here at Dover would be awesome.

I love this track. It's an oddball. It's concrete, a high-banked one-mile oval, really treacherous, always seems like crazy fun things happen here.

Mike Skinner just looped it off of 2 in the 52 car.

Didn't know Mike Skinner still raced.

Not expecting much from the Truck race expect Harvick leading all but the laps when he pits, will be a snoooze fest.

Dover is a fun track to watch a race from because it is possible to run side-by-side for multiple laps in a row. Also the track narrows up about 10 feet off the corners makes for some dicey moments.

Nah, it looks similar to last year, if I recall.. there were a lot of comments about how tough it was on the restarts, due to the way the rubber was.

This little girl did a better job with the anthem than a lot of people a lot older and more experienced than her.

Looks like the snoozer prediction is coming true thus far.
