Answer by Rowdy’s #1 Fan
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series held its first race. I didn’t see it because although i’d watch a couple races a year maybe, I didn’t “catch the fever” until 2002/2003. But I’m sure glad they started the series as most weeks it has the best racing of the three major series. It’s also a great melting pot of drivers on their way up, some on their way down, some regulars, some cup guys, some Nationwide guys, some rookies to NASCAR’s major series–it’s a great mix and great racing ensues.

Sterling Marlin won the Daytona 500…it was the first one I watched. In fact it was the first race I ever watched.

My most memorable moment was when my Driver won The Championship !!!!
dale earnhardt winning the 2nd annual brickyard 400.
I was gonna mention Marlin/500, Gordon’s champ, and Earnhardt wins Brickyard. But they beat me to it
the winston select silver goodwrench Dale drove instead of the black chevy in May—I had just given up my black (Camaro) chevy for another car and regretted it for a long time till I got another fun great car.
Jeff gordon won his first championship then, barely beating the Intimidator. The craftsman truck series began, and Mike Skinner was the most effective truck race driver the first year and quite often since.
Dale won the (2nd) Brickyard!!!!!!! I grew up wanting to go the Indy 500 and seeing the racing I came to prefer compete at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway was a dream come true.
Wow.
When Jeff Gordon won the Championship…
