RACE 1 - ATLANTA 100 - 65 LAPS - ATLANTA, GA
Coming into the first race of the series, adrenaline was pumping, drivers wanting to be the first of everything this season; first pole winner, first lap leader, first winner... first champion... Billy Wade got to be the one to be the first pole winner with a time of 31.390, and he lead them to the green, but his lead didn't even last a lap as he was passed by John Rostek in turn 1. On lap 49, a big crash caused by Jack Smith having a mechanical problem, Jim McElreath went up on his roof in this crash. After it was all said and done, they took the white right after catching the lapped car of Jim McElreath, McElreath got hit by the #09 of Sal Tovella and went around, more than 10 cars involved, and 2 cars, Gene Hobby and Sal Tovella flipped over. At the checkered and caution flags, LeeRoy Yarborough was leading, and he wins the series' first ever race. 
Pole Winner: #5 Billy Wade
Caution Flags: 2
Caution Laps: 4
Lead Changes:
Lap Leaders: 8
Most Laps Lead: #54 Jimmy Pardue (27 Laps)
Race Winner: #03 LeeRoy Yarborough

On lap 100, AJ Foyt got the lead for the first time, making the 12th lead change of the race, he never lost the lead and wins the Bowman Gray 100 by a margin of 2 laps over Jim Pardue. Note: only 9 cars finished.  Pole Winner: #19 Cale Yarborough

Is disqualification by retaliation REALLY a thing in NR2003? Yes, player and AI cars can both get disqualified. |
