  Joe Garner turns his hand to stockcar racing as he and NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon capture the most important moments in the sport's history. From the most exciting finishes to the terrifying crashes and heart-breaking tragedies, NASCAR: Speed Guts and Glory captures the rich, uniquely American tapestry that is fast-becoming the most popular sport we've ever known. Some moments presented: Sundays Will Never be the Same - while blocking to ensure a win for his teammate Michael Waltrip and a 2nd place finish for his namesake, Dale Earnhardt, Sr. takes a fatal, final lap at Dayton;: Craven's Wild Ride - the closest finish in NASCAR history, this Darlington photo finish found Craven victorious by a mere .002 of a second; Jeff Gordon's Dream Season - winning an unprecedented 13 races and finishing in the top five an additional 25 times, no driver has ever come close to dominating the Cup Series as thoroughly as Gordon did in 1998; Like Father Like Son - the one-year anniversary of his father's death, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. serves notice as one of NASCAR's new elites by winning the very Daytona race that took his father's life.
