Race #6 - Pep Boys 400K
The Pep Boys Indy Racing League made their 6th stop of 1998 at the Dover Downs International Speedway, in Dover, Delaware, for the Pep Boys 400K.
Sam Schmidt led the field to the green but it was Scott Sharp who would lead the first ever lap at the track in series history before Schmidt would take the lead back on Lap 2 before losing it to Marco Greco who would lead briefly before Davey Hamilton took over the top spot. Once in the lead, Hamilton showed the skills that many knew he had as he would dominate much of the race, leading 170 of the 248 laps as he would build up a lead of nearly ten seconds but a late race caution closed up the field to him.
With the green back out, Hamilton tried to pull away again but Greco was right behind him, passing Hamilton with 46 laps to go as he would be the one to build up a ten second lead, and going on to score the win.
Other Noticeables:
Marco Greco scored his 1st win of the year,
Greco led 3 times for 76 laps, including the final 46 laps,
It was the 2nd win of his career in the Pep Boys Indy Racing League and his first since 1997 at Phoenix; 12 races ago,
