Inaugural Brickyard 400 - 1994
Gordon and Ernie Irvan traded the lead four times in the last 21 laps. But Irvan's day would end in heartbreak wh! en his car suffered a cut tire on Lap 156, forcing him to the pits and a 17th-place finish. Gordon, who had just turned 23 on Aug. 4, would beat second-place Brett Bodine to the checkered flag, winning by .53 of a second to collect $613,000 of the NASCAR-record $3,213,849 purse. The race average speed was 131.932 mph. "Without tears coming up, I tell you, this is the greatest thing in the world," Gordon said. "It's far past our expectations. I never thought it would happen. I'm a kid in a candy store. I don't know what to say. "As bad as my memory is, I still remember Ray Harroun's name (the inaugural Indianapolis 500 winner). Everyone wanted to win this race. There wasn't anyone who wanted it any more than us."

1995 Brickyard 400
Jeff Gordon returned from his 1994 victory to take the pole at 172.536. Elliott lead the most laps, with 47, but Earnhardt led only once for 28 laps, and it was the ones that counted at the end. Rusty Wallace had a commanding lead over second-place Earnhardt when he pitted on Lap 129, but he got caught behind a pit-lane accident involving Joe Nemechek and Rich Bickle, allowing Earnhardt, who had already pitted, to take the lead. Earnhardt would outrun Wallace to the finish, winning the race by .37 of a second with a blistering 155.218 race average speed.

1996 Brickyard 400
Earnhardt suffered a broken collarbone and cracked sternum in a serious accident at Talladega Superspeedway only six days before the 1995 Brickyard 400 yet he managed to qualify 13th at Indy's challenging 2.5-mile oval on Thursday (four days after the accident) and complete six laps of the race before Mike Skinner took over the No. 3 Goodwrench Chevrolet. Jarrett made contact with the wall in qualifying and started 24th, yet had a dominating car on race day and took the lead for the first time on Lap 135. Irvan lead the race from Lap 139-153, when Jarrett passed him on the inside of Turn 2. Robert Pressley hit the Turn 4 wall with two laps to go, and Jarrett won his first Brickyard 400 under caution. The average speed of the race was 139.508. Jarrett also won the Daytona 500 and Coca-Cola 600 that year, making him the only driver to win those three major events in the same year.

1997 Brickyard 400
Ernie Irvan won the pole in the No. 28 Robert Yates Racing Ford at 177.736. Irvan, his teammate, Dale Jarrett, and Jeff Gordon collectively dominated the race, together leading 95 of the 160 laps. Rudd pitted for fuel and tires on Lap 114, and when the leaders made their final stop on Lap 147, Rudd stayed out. While Jarrett, Irvan and Gordon had horsepower, Rudd had fuel mileage, and thanks to a final caution on Lap 155, he made it to the end, beating Bobby Labonte to the finish line by .138 of a second, the closest finish in Brickyard 400 history. The Tide Ford ran out of the gas as Rudd entered Victory Lane, appropriately enough. |

1998 Brickyard 400
Ernie Irvan took the race pole for the second-consecutive year, setting a track record in the No. 36 Skittles Pontiac at 179.394 mph. With a clearly dominant car in the race, Jarrett was leading by several seconds when he ran out of gas on the backstretch on Lap 80, the halfway point of the race. The car coasted around to the pit entrance where members of his pit crew and that of his Robert Yates Racing teammate, Kenny Irwin Jr., hurriedly pushed the car to his pit stall. Jarrett was away on Lap 84, but four laps down. Jeff Gordon arguably had the second-fastest car of the day, and he would lead a total of 97 laps. He took the lead from Dale Earnhardt between Turns 1 and 2 on Lap 127 and never relinquished it, winning his second B! rickyard 400 under caution and earning a $1 million No Bull Five bonus from Winston. He also became the first two-time winner of the event. The race also saw an event-record number of caution flags: nine cautions for 34 laps. Further demonstrating the dominance of his car that day, Jarrett came back to finish on the lead lap, in 16th place. |
