The 2000 Daytona 500 was the 42nd running of the event and took place on February 20, 2000, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The race was won by Dale Jarrett, who drove the No. 88 Ford Taurus for Robert Yates Racing.
Jarrett led 89 of the 200 laps and took the checkered flag ahead of Johnny Benson Jr. and Tony Stewart. This marked Jarrett's third Daytona 500 victory, having previously won in 1993 and 1996.
The race featured 22 lead changes among 13 drivers and was marred by several caution periods, including a multi-car wreck on lap 173 that saw several top contenders taken out of contention.
The 2000 Daytona 500 was also notable for being the first race with the recently introduced restrictor plates, which were designed to slow down the cars and improve safety on the high-speed superspeedway tracks.
Overall, the race was well-received by fans and critics alike, with many praising Jarrett's performance and the overall excitement of the event.
