It's time to take off our hats and raise the champagne and give a much deserving toast to all of the winners of the 2000 NASCAR Winston Cup Season. A season with some great races and finishes. A down-to-the-wire points battle and some first time winners. I really enjoyed last season for it's closest racing in years. So, scroll down the page where you will find the season champions as well as the winner of each race including the finishing position of our 2000 "Winston Cup Champion" Bobby Labonte.

As we close the curtain on another NASCAR WINSTON CUP season, a very good one I might add, we are left to wonder how the 2001 season will be, now that Dale Earnhardt is no longer with us. It will be a very difficult season for us Intimidator fans to say the least. But on the bright side, young Kevin Harvick is certainly making a fan out of me!! It just remains to be seen if he can continue the way he has started under what must be tremendous pressure! Way to go Kevin, keep it up!........So.....Who do YOU think will be gracing the head table at the Waldorf-Astoria this season!!??....check out the line-up for 2001, including the re-emergence of DODGE, on the next page.......
