The 2000 Daytona 500, the 42nd running of the event, was held February 20 at Daytona International Speedway. It was the first race both of the 2000 NASCAR Winson Cup season and the 2000s decade. Dale Jarrett, the polesitter, led the most laps and won his third Daytona 500 victory, after winning in 1993 and 1996. This was (to date) the last Daytona 500 to be televised by CBS and thus the last 500 broadcast for Buddy Baker and Ned Jarrett. Dave Marcis failed to qualify for the first time since 1968. The average green flag run for the race was confirmed by NASCAR officials as 29 laps. 12% of the event was held under a caution flag, mostly for oil, debris, and accidents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Race information about the ''2000 Daytona 500'' )〕 ==Qualifying and Gatorade 125s== Dale Jarrett won the pole for the race with a speed of just over 191 mph, and would start alongside his new teammate Ricky Rudd in an all-Robert Yates front row. A total of 57 drivers would make an attempt to qualify for the 42nd Daytona 500. Bill Elliott won the first Gatorade 125 qualifying race after taking the lead from Jarrett on lap 1 and leading all 50 laps. Rudd won the second Gatorade duel after leading all 50 laps also. Both Gatorade 125 races were caution-free. Tony Stewart & Robby Gordon stole headlines during qualifying when Stewart spun Gordon. Robby Gordon, who was trying to qualify his new #13 self-owned team in the race, confronted Stewart in the garages and asked Stewart about the spin. Stewart shoved Gordon as he turned away to walk off, leading to a fist-fight. Security broke them up. Stewart was fined $15,000 by NASCAR for the shove. Drivers qualified for the Daytona 500 either by finishing in the Top 16 in their qualifying race, through a two-lap qualifying run, or a provisional starting spot based on owner points from the 1999 season. They had three chances to make a two-lap time trial run that would be fast enough to make the Daytona 500. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2000 Daytona 500」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
