EPISODE 6 -- 2001 DAYTONA 500

The 2001 Daytona 500 was a thrilling event right up to the final turn of the final lap. A late-race multi-car crash left Tony Stewart barrel rolling down the backstretch and Ward Burton fuming. Then, as Dale Earnhardt Incorporated teammates Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. raced toward the checkered flag, their team owner impacted the fourth-turn wall in an accident that would change the course of NASCAR history.
