2003 Aaron's 499 : ウィキペディア英語版 | 2003 Aaron's 499
The 2003 Aaron's 499 was held on April 6, 2003, at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama. It was the 8th race of 36 in the 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season. Jeremy Mayfield was the polesitter. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. won the race, his first win of the season and fourth consecutive at Talladega, while Kevin Harvick finished second and Elliott Sadler finished third. This was also the fifth consecutive restrictor plate race win for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. stretching back to the previous year's spring Talladega race. There were six cautions, 16 different leaders and 43 lead changes. The Big One did not take long, collecting 27 cars on the fourth lap — the largest crash in a Cup race in the modern era. ==The Big One== On lap 4, as the field entered turn 1, Ryan Newman (who already had a violent blowover at the rain shortened Daytona 500 in February) blew a tire, smashed hard into the turn 1 wall, and almost turned on his side. Mayhem ensued as cars behind him checked up trying to avoid Newman, who spun across the middle of the track and collected an additional 26 cars. One of Newman's tires came off, got struck by Ricky Rudd's hood, and bounced right over the catch fence, landing in a restricted access area. A total of 27 cars were involved, making it the largest recorded crash in the history of the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. It was also the second largest-crash overall in modern NASCAR, behind a 30 car crash on the back straightaway in Talladega's Busch race the year before. Damage to the cars involved ranged from no damage to severe damage: Hermie Sadler, Casey Mears, Johnny Benson and some others were out immediately. Rusty Wallace and Jerry Nadeau returned but retired after making a limited number of laps following repairs. Matt Kenseth and race winner Dale Earnhardt, Jr. also had damage – Kenseth finished inside the top 10 on the lead lap. After the wreck, there were only 16 cars that had no damage. The previous day, the "Big One" occurred during the Busch race in turn four on lap 10, when Johnny Sauter blew a tire in the middle of the pack, collecting 22 cars.
