Dale Jarrett's 1999 Championship season came with 29 top 10 finishes in 34 races, which was a NASCAR record. That record stood until the 2007 season when Jeff Gordon finished with 30 top 10s in 36 races. After 16 straight seasons with at least one victory from 1983 to 1998, Ricky Rudd failed to keep his winning streak alive in 1999. His 16-season winning streak of at least one race came to a total of 20 wins. His best finish in the 1999 season was 3rd place twice (Goody's Headache Powder 500 and Winston 500). 16 straight seasons with at least 1 win was a NASCAR Modern Era record, a record that was tied with Rusty Wallace in 2001, and future champion Jimmie Johnson in 2017. In 2021, another future champion, Kyle Busch, became the Modern Era record holder after winning in Kansas, marking his 17th consecutive year of winning at least 1 race. Not only is he the Modern Era Record leader with 17 straight seasons, Busch is currently tied for 2nd All-Time with David Pearson (1964-1980). 18 straight seasons is the All-Time Record, which is held by Richard Petty. Petty went on to win 185 races from 1960 to 1977. Final points standings (key) Bold - Pole position awarded by time. Italics - Pole position set by owner's points standings. *- Most laps led. Rookie of the Year The 1999 Rookie of the Year battle was expected to be one of the most competitive in years. However, it ended up proving to be a runaway as Tony Stewart won three races and finished fourth in points. Elliott Sadler, who was considered the top favorite for the award during the pre-season, only had one top-ten finish and was the only rookie besides Stewart to complete the full schedule. Buckshot Jones was another favorite, but a long string of DNQs and DNFs forced him to cut back his schedule
