Jerry Nadeau goes from racing in Russia on ice while fighting off a SEVERE case of food poisoning to spotting for Morgan Shepherd and trying to make a go of it with Melling Racing to victory lane with Hendrick Motorsports.

We then tackle the November 23, 2000 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

Jerry Nadeau dominates at Atlanta, but it’s a late-race caution that gets him back into position to regain the top spot and score the first Winston Cup victory of his career.

It’s Darrell Waltrip’s last race and former foes Rusty Wallace and Dale Earnhardt give him some going-away gifts. UPS signs a big-bucks and ugly car deal with Dale Jarrett and Robert Yates Racing, while Kevin Lepage and Jack Roush miss out on a deal with THE all-time home run king … Hank Aaron.

Finally, there’s a masterpiece of a column by a certain Winston Cup Scene writer about one of the most memorable moments of his career.
