9. 2000 Pocono Raceway: Intimidator gets intimidated

This probably wasn’t a good day for fans of Dale Earnhardt SR, but it was exciting to watch nonetheless. Dale Earnhardt was leading the race with only three laps to go, but Jeremy Mayfield was still desperately trying to catch up and play spoiler to Earnhardt’s day.
