Michael's first win was in the tragic event that Nascar and the world lost Dale Earnhardt. In 2003, the race was called official after only 109 laps due to rain. Michael drove the #15 Napa Chevrolet.

10. Which driver in 2002, got out of his car during a red-flag stop on the track, and pulled a fender off his right front tire?

Answer: Sterling Marlin

Sterling was in contention to win the race, but violated the Nascar rule by 'performing maintenance' during the red-flag stop. As Sterling was quoted to say, "I didn't have anything to lose". He was penalized for it, thus throwing his chance away to win the 2002 Daytona 500. Ward Burton went on to win the race.
