Jarrett then took back-to-back triumphs at Texas (April 1) and Martinsville (April 8) for Robert Yates Racing.

Burton’s last victory at the one-mile track in 2000 also marked the last time a driver has led every lap. Burton started on the outside of pole-winner Bobby Labonte, but got the lead on the first of 300 laps and never gave it up.
