Revisit the final 10 laps of the Dura Lube 400 at Rockingham as Bobby Labonte inches closer and closer to leader Steve Park, setting up a tremendous battle for the win.
This finish, Atlanta, and the Pepsi 400 were all highly emotional wins for DEI and RCR. And they were all exciting races, too.

Plus Hamilton's team owner was once Dale's crew chief that won 2 championships. His last 2 championships in fact, Andy Petree plus 2001 was the only year he won as a owner with Joe Nemecheck winning the fall Rockingham race.

Park just outclassed Labonte in this one. A race like this is a rare commodity these days. Glad the Rock reopens in April. When Bobby made his last ditch effort, he used his breaks in turn 3 and Steve didn't, he backed out of the gas some and he bet everything that car had that it would stick through the corner and he would keep the lead. He said that is what he did in victory lane.

X-Cup. It is a new race series that fields former NASCAR cars and trucks. The rule for the cars/trucks is pretty straight forward. If the shell of the vehical does not look like it did when you bought it from the NASCAR team, you are disqualified. If we can't tell by looking at it that you are cheating, you're not cheating as far as we are concerned. xcupseries.com/ It will host the last race for the Super Cup Stock Car series every year. The SCSCS requires Monte Carlo's from 1999-2006. 1999-2005 Ford Taurus, 2006-2012 Fusion. 1999-06 Pontiac Grand prix.1999-2004 Dodge Intrepid, 2005-2012 Charger and 2014 Ford/ Chevrolet.

If this was in 2012 Nascar would have thrown a phantom yellow with 5 laps to go. I don't know why Nascar thinks it is more entertaining to see a faster car blow by a slower car with two laps to go on a restart with 2 to go and have a 1 second lead and win then see a finish like this. We will never see a finish anywhere like this again sadly... Bill France has definitely rolled over in his grave after seeing how great the sport once was to how much BS is in it today.

1. NASCAR (citing contract regulations at the time) would not allow FOX to air the postponed race on it's affiliates. It would be aired the following day on FX instead as many of you may know. 2. When we had cable in our area, We did not have FX at the time this race aired. However, that issue would be resolved three months later.

It will be called Southern 500 (look on the official website) and they can't and won't move it back to Labour Day weekend. I can't remember why but there was an article on Nascar(dot)com about it. It was apparantly considered but proved to not be a fesible option. They announced the return of the Southern 500 a few months back, before the end of the last season.
