As the 1999 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season draws to a close, Ray Evernham unexpectedly ends his tenure as Jeff Gordon’s crew chief. Evernham’s new ambition – bringing Dodge back to NASCAR’s top series – singlehandedly alters the trajectory of the 2000 season, which becomes a year of tremendous change.

This first part of “500 Days” provides a month-by-month chronicle of "silly season," the series of driver and team changes leading up to the 2001 Daytona 500.
