The one Chase will win. My number 1 memory would be watching Dale Earnhardt Sr winning in 1998. Both of Jr’s wins.

My favorite 500 will always be 1998 just because I watched in agony as Sr lost 500 after 500 leading up to that…

2005 UAW GM Quality 500. Someone many years ago (can’t remember the video) said they ran like 10 pace laps, and remember a clip of Chad Knaus on SPEED Channel saying “TV director is going to give NASCAR a countdown”. There was a USC vs Notre Dame game running long that night and the coverage switched right as the pace car pulled off track.
