2002 Pepsi 400 from Daytona International Speedway | NASCAR Classic Full Race Replay

The 2002 Pepsi 400 was a highly dramatic NASCAR Cup Series night race held on July 6, 2002, at the prestigious Daytona International Speedway. As the 17th stop of the season, the high-speed event was defined by intense restrictor-plate pack racing, significant title implications, and a series of disruptive multi-car accidents—including a massive 14-car pileup in the final quarter of the race. A fiercely competitive evening of drafting and strategy ultimately culminated in a tense, late-race caution that led to a highly debated finish, freezing the field and settling a dominant performance at the front.
