The 43rd annual Daytona 500 was held February 18, 2001 at Daytona International Speedway. Bill Elliott won the pole. The race will be forever remembered for the final lap. Dale Earnhardt was in third behind his drivers Dale Earnhardt, Jr and Michael Waltrip, but when going through turns 3 and 4, the elder Earnhardt lost control of his car and collected Ken Schrader in a head-on collision with the wall. Earnhardt was killed instantly by a basilar skull fracture. The race was also marred by a 20-car crash on lap 173 when Robby Gordon and Ward Burton got together, sending Tony Stewart's car flipping down the backstretch. Eleven seconds after Earnhardt's crash, Michael Waltrip, in his first race in the #15 car for Dale Earnhardt, Inc., won the race. It was the first victory of his career, coming in his 463rd start.
