2-18-Daytona 500-Casey ran well in this tragic race. Not the top finishing rookie, but give him some time!
2-25-Kmart/Duralube 400-Good run for a Rookie! Stayed out of trouble and finished the race. Leads in rookie points right now. Looks like Kevin Harvick will be Casey's major opponent in the run for Rookie of the Year. Kevin is driving Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s car for the remainder of the season. The number and paint scheme have been changed, from #3 black, to #29 white.
3-4-UAW/DaimlerCrysler 400-Casey just ran well and stayed out of trouble. As I suspected, Kevin Harvick is creeping up on him.
3-11-Cracker Barrel 500-DNQ - Did not qualify! This is not good! Since this is a new team and Casey is a Rookie, there are no provisional starting positions for him. He must not let this happen again, or his run for Rookie of the Year will be lost! Might as well through it in the recycle bin! Kevin Harvick wins the race. Jumps into the Rookie Points lead.
3-18-Carolina Dodge Dealers 400-Come on Casey! Get with the program! I know you can do better! Don't let Kevin Harvick out shine you!
3-25-Food City 500-Good clean run. Finished on the lead lap. Now let's get that car up front!
4-1-Harrah's 500-Had a good run going and hit the wall on lap 270! You have got to keep it on the track Casey!
4-8-Virginia 500-The top qualifying Dodge and Rookie! Caught up in an accident. At least he finished the race!
4-22-Talladega 500-Was looking good for awhile. Worked his way into 2nd place. Needs to stay up front once he gets there! Your slipping Casey!
4-29-NAPA 500-I don't know what happen in this race! Hang in there, you'll catch on!
5-5-Pontiac Excitement 400-Good job Casey! Started 42nd, finished 12th! Keep it up!
5-19-The Winston*-Did not qualify for this non-point event.
5-27-Coca Cola 600-Not a good day! Involved in accident early in the race. Hang in there Casey!
6-3-MBNA Platinum 400-Casey just can't seem to get a break. Caught up in an early accident. Not his fault!
6-10-Kmart 400-Keep trying! At least he finished the race this week. Moved up in the point standings to 33rd.
6-17-Pocono 500-Was running real well. Managed to stay in the top 10 until he blew an engine. What ever can happen seems to be happening to Casey!
6-24-Dodge/SaveMart 350K-Another bad day! I think it is now safe to say "Wait until next year"!!
7-7-Pepsi 400-Best start of the year (4th)! 4 Dodges start up front, but faded to the rear quickly. Must not be able to find the right set up on these cars. Casey had an average finish of 28th.
7-15-Tropicana 400-Not a great day for Casey, but another average finish.
7-22-New England 300-Best run of the year! Led a few laps for the first time! Finished 12th! Keep it up Casey!
7-29-Pocono 500-Another good run for Casey! Started 5th, finshed 15th. Better than his average finish! Maybe things are starting to look up a little bit!
8-5-Brickyard 400-Another bad day! Best start of the year (3rd). Ran well until an over heating problem took him out on the 38th lap. Finished 41st.
8-12-Global Crossing@ the Glen-A good finish for Casey on a road coarse! Finished on the lead lap. Good job Casey!
8-19-Pepsi 400-Best run so far this year! 10th place finish. I wonder where Casey might have finished if the race hadn't been shortened by rain! Way to go Casey!
8-25-Sharpie 500-Ran well early. Took two tires to gain track position. Good finish 17th.
9-2-Mt. Dew Southern 500-An average day for Casey. 25th place finish, 3 laps down.
9-8-Chevrolet Monte Carlo 400-Another average finish 27th. 3 laps down.
9-23-MBNA Cal Ripken Jr. 400-Great run! Best finish this year, 9th! Keep it up Casey! You should be a force to recon with next year!
9-30-Protection One 400-Caught up in accident on first lap. Done for the day. Good starting spot though (5th).
10-7-UAW-GM Quality 500-Average day for Casey. 24th place finish.
10-14-Old Dominion 500-Another average finish of 25th, but not bad considering starting 41st in a crash filled race! Second race that Casey has led a lap!
10-21-EA Sports 500-Another bad day. Caught up in another accident. Can't get a break.
10-28-Checker 500-Talk about bad luck! Not bad though considering. 1st career pole! Led 71 laps, ran in the top 3 until lap 195 and cut a tire! Went a lap down but got it back! Finished 14th! Good job Casey!
11-4-Pop Secret 400-Not so good today. Starts 3rd, finishes 20th. Rumor is Casey may not be driving the 19 car next year.
11-11-Pennzoil 400-Great start! Great finish! Almost won this one! Best finish this year (3rd).
11-18-NAPA 500-Another average day. Casey will be driving the 7 car next year. Jeremy Mayfield will take over the 19.
11-23-New Hampshire 300-A decent finish, but not good enough to finish in the Winston Cup points money. Finished 26th in point standings.
