Race #5 - Radisson 200
The Pep Boys Indy Racing League made their 5th stop of 1999 at the Pikes Peak International Raceway, in Fountain, Colorado, for the Radisson 200.
Greg Ray led the field to the green as for only the third time in series history drivers raced at the mile track, the 18,000 fans in attendance got their money's worth as battles for position and cautions would play a major factor in who would win. Grey Ray would dominate for most of the race, leading 80 of 200 laps, but during pit stops in the middle of the race, Ray was trapped a lap down and was unable to get back into contention. That opened the door for Kenny Brack to take over and led for awhile before second in points Jeff Ward took over. Ward appeared on his was to victory until Davey Hamilton caught him with thirty laps to go and when a caution came out with five laps to go when Ward was spun out, Hamilton had to hold off Sam Schmidt and Buddy Lazier for the final two laps to score his first career win.
Other Noticeables:
Davey Hamilton scored his 3rd win of the year,
Hamilton led 1 time for 30 laps, which were the final 30 laps,
