Dura Lube 400
The Dura Lube 400 started on February 25 but finished on February 26 due to a rain delay, making it a two-day race at the North Carolina Speedway. Jeff Gordon won the pole. This race was won by DEI driver Steve Park in an emotional victory just one week after the death of Earnhardt. Richard Childress placed Busch Grand National driver Kevin Harvick into the car formerly driven by Earnhardt, changed the car's number from #3 to #29, and changed the paint scheme from primarily black to primarily white.
