and this season (2001). As of 2023, Earnhardt and Gordon are the only 2 multiple time All-Star race winners to win all of their All-Star races and those championships in the same season. Out of Jimmie Johnson's 4 wins, he would win the season's championship twice in 2006 & 2013. Future All-Star Race winner Kyle Larson would go on to be a multiple time winner with 2 victories (2019 & 2021). With 1 of those 2 wins, Larson would go on to win that season's championship (2021). Only 3 more drivers, who scored just 1 All-Star win in their career, have accomplished winning the All-Star Race, along with winning that season's championship: Darrell Waltrip in 1985, Rusty Wallace in 1989, and future champion Chase Elliott in 2020.

Stewart arrived less than half an hour before the start of the race. If Stewart did not arrive for the start of the Coca-Cola 600, McLaughlin would have been given credit for the start under NASCAR rules. Stewart had to start at the end of the field (43rd place) due to missing the mandatory drivers' meeting that is held 2 hours before any race.
