1.   The Italians set the pace for the first eight laps.

2.   At Richmond, Wallace led the most laps again and finished fifth.

3.   Even though he finished second, Gordon received five extra points for leading the most laps.

4.   He also won three poles and led the most laps.

5.   He also has completed the most laps and led the most laps.

6.   If Gordon had won and led the most laps, Labonte would have had to finish eighth or better to prevent Gordon from winning a second straight title.

7.   If rain had stopped the two laps earlier, he might have had the victory.

8.   It was also relatively free of excitement until the last five laps.

9.   Jeff Gordon was involved, and so was Ward Burton, who led the most laps in the race Sunday.

10.   Jeff started closing about two laps later, though, and the brothers raced side by side for the next four laps until Jeff finally took the lead.
