The Track: Dover International Raceway
The Race: Miller Genuine Draft 500
The Conditions: First race on concrete

Usually, "the big one" is reserved for superspeedways. But in 1995, John Andretti--who, let's face it, doesn't share the same set of skill genes as some of his relatives--turned the speedway at Dover Downs into a parking lot. On the second lap of the race:
My favorite part comes next, when a heated Mark Martin calls "somebody"--Rusty Wallace--a dummy.
"There's no safe place on the racetrack because somebody from behind 'll run over ya runnin' wide open."
His spotter knew it was Wallace. Did Martin really not know, or was he trying to be a gentleman and not name names?

Oh ... and who won the race? That would Mr. Kyle Petty--his last trip to victory lane.
