EPISODE 3 -- GATHERING STORM

Fatal accidents involving Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin in the first half of the 2000 NASCAR season created an at-times heated conversation about safety in NASCAR. The controversy pitted New School drivers like Jeff Burton and Brett Bodine, who wanted to change the status quo, against Old School competitors such as Dale Earnhardt, who called out those he felt were afraid to race.
