The 1999 Pennzoil 400 Presented by Kmart was an inaugural NASCAR Winston Cup Series race held on November 14, 1999 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida.[5] Contested over 267 laps on the 1.5 mile (2.4 km) speedway, it was the 33rd race of the 1999 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the first at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Tony Stewart of Joe Gibbs Racing won the race, his teammate Bobby Labonte finished second and Roush Racing driver Jeff Burton was third.[2]
David Green would earn his only pole position during qualifying.[6] He led the first seven laps until John Andretti passed him on lap eight. Labonte took the lead on lap 27,[2] holding the place for a total of 174 laps, more than any other driver.[3] On the 228th lap, Stewart overtook Labonte for the first position, and later went on to win the event,[2] his third career triumph in the Cup Series.[7] Drivers' Championship leader Dale Jarrett had a lead of 231 points entering the race,[8] and his fifth place finish was enough to clinch the championship, and claim his first (and only) NASCAR Cup Series title, leading by 211 points at the checkered flag.[2] There was a single caution and a total of nineteen lead changes amongst ten different drivers during the course of the race.[3]
This was the last race without Dale Earnhardt Jr. until the 2012 Bank of America 500.
