The last real middle class/upper middle class people got their jobs at least 20 years ago and are going to retire and die out.. It’s very sad that the children still generation will be much poorer than their parents, when usually the opposite was the case in the past, because of new great inventions and technologies in the free western world! Now that we gave all our technologies to China and the few rich sold them our big companies there’s not much left for us and the free western world will sadly die out if we don’t do anything against it..

Don't forget that just 5 weeks prior to this race Dale Earnhardt broke a bone in his neck in a wreck at Atlanta and raced the rest of the 1999 season injured with the right side of his body usually going numb in the race. He could have chosen not to race the rest of this series schedule and protect himself for his Cup sponsors he raced the rest of this series and kicked ass.
@nohbody85

Actually his neck injury, I believe, was a series of his crashes from 1996 to 1999. There was a video that one his crew or DEI employees said he raced for multiple seasons, until the 2000 season, with one hand because his one arm would go numb. He had neck surgery either between the 98 and 99 or 99 and 2000 season.

But none the less that was a major boost to Jamie’s Nascar career & confidence.

That Dodge Intrepid still is a sharp-looking car, 19 years later. My town even used them as police cruisers instead of Crown Vics, but they're all retired now. My favorite paint schemes to ever grace the Intrepid were: Dave Blaney's BP car from Martinsville 2001 Bill Elliott's Swedish Chef car from Chicago 2002 Bill Elliott's Viper car from 2002 Jeremy Mayfield's Mountain Dew cars from 2003 Casey Mears' Microsoft car from Charlotte 2003 (Busch) and Jamie McMurray's Davey Allison tribute car from Talladega 2003 For Christmas in 2007, my uncle gave me an autographed 1:64 2002 Bill Elliott Intrepid. I also have a checkered flag from Atlanta Motor Speedway signed by him. Jamie Mac's first Cup win was not the Coke 600, but the UAW-GM Quality 500 held in the fall of 2002.
