Description

Tony Stewart started on pole for heat 1 and led for the entire 12-minute session, which consisted of 23 laps. Michael Waltrip and Willy T. Ribbs started up front for the second heat. Hélio Castroneves passed for the lead early and led until three minutes left, getting passed by Scott Bloomquist on a restart. The heat was extended due to a green-white-checker finish after Paul Tracy spun and hit the wall with 40 seconds left; Bloomquist went on to win. Stewart started on the pole for the 50-lap feature, based on average finishing positions from the two heats. Paul Tracy fell out early after overheating, and several cautions flew for spins during the first quarter of the race. Waltrip passed Stewart for the lead on lap 14; Stewart regained the lead on lap 21. Bloomquist was spun by Castroneves on lap 33, bringing out another caution; Bill Elliott stalled on track during the caution and was pushed to pit road, falling eleven laps behind. Stewart held off Hailie Deegan and Ernie Francis Jr. to win.
