Daytona 500

[edit]
Main article:1999 Daytona 500

The 1999 Daytona 500 was held February 14 at Daytona International Speedway. Jeff Gordon won the pole. In winning the race as well, he became the first Daytona 500 pole sitter to win the race since Bill Elliott in 1987. This race is known for Gordon's daring three-wide pass on Rusty Wallace and Mike Skinner. Gordon passed Wallace after ducking to the apron, nearly plowing into the damaged car of Ricky Rudd. Skinner jumped to the outside and they raced three-wide for three laps until Dale Earnhardt gave Gordon the needed push. The race was also known for a determined Dale Earnhardt repeatedly trying to pass Jeff Gordon for the lead on the final lap, but Gordon beat Earnhardt to the finish. The race was also marked by a large crash on lap 135 in turn 3 that collected 13 cars and sawDale Jarrett flip over twice.

His 16-season winning streak of at least one race came to a total of 20 wins. His best finish in the 1999 season was 3rd place twice (Goody's Headache Powder 500 and Winston 500). 16 straight seasons with at least 1 win was a NASCAR Modern Era record, a record that was tied withRusty Wallace in 2001, and future championJimmie Johnson in 2017. In 2021, another future champion,Kyle Busch, became the Modern Era record holder after winning in Kansas, marking his 17th consecutive year of winning at least 1 race. Not only is he the Modern Era Record leader with 17 straight seasons, Busch is currently tied for 2nd All-Time withDavid Pearson (1964–1980). 18 straight seasons is the All-Time Record, which is held byRichard Petty. Petty went on to win 185 races from 1960 to 1977.
  • This was the first race without Dale Earnhardt Jr and Matt Kenseth until 2012 Bank Of America 500 and 2015 AAA Texas 500.

Rookie of the Year

[edit]

The 1999 Rookie of the Year battle was expected to be one of the most competitive in years. However, it ended up proving to be a runaway asTony Stewart won three races and finished fourth in points.Elliott Sadler, who was considered the top favorite for the award during the pre-season, only had one top-ten finish and was the only rookie besides Stewart to complete the full schedule.Buckshot Jones was another favorite, but a long string of DNQs and DNFs forced him to cut back his schedule and abandon his run for the award.Stanton Barrett began the year with his own team, then left forJunie Donlavey, only making two races.Dan Pardus hoped to run a part-time schedule withMidwest Transit Racing, but he did not qualify for any of his attempts, and was released after theCoca-Cola 600. Finally,Mike Harmon was scheduled to drive the No. 90, but did not even attempt a race after a sponsorship fallout with Big Daddy's BBQ Sauce.
