Why is the date 10/9/2005 so important to some NASCAR fans?

Question

Actually it doesn't seem important at all, I wonder why that is?

Answer 1

mark martin won his last race (which makes it important to HIS fans)

Answer 2

tony raines' crew chief glenn darrow was suspended that day for substance abuse.  

edit: it is also the last top-ten finish by rusty wallace - and junior finished 34th.

as to why it's not important - because he'll win again.

Answer 3

Uh, Jr's birthday is not Oct 9th but does that matter? No. What's the date when brian france started s******g up nascar more than ever? Now that's a date that would be important to a real fan.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

Mark Martin last win at Kansas
