In the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, only three weeks after the death of Dale Earnhardt, Kevin Harvick wins his first career Winston Cup race by narrowly edging Jeff Gordon.
He won the race by only six one-thousandths of a second (.006).
After the win he paid tribute to Earnhardt, driving on the track backward with three fingers held outside the driver's window as a show of honor and respect.
