Atlanta took place less than a month after the 2001 Daytona 500, one of the more somber events in NASCAR history, after a collision on the final lap of the race claimed the life of legendary driver Dale Earnhardt.
Stepping in to replace Earnhardt for Richard Childress Racing was a rookie named Kevin Harvick, making just his third start.
Shortly after the engines revved, there was an in-race tribute to the late Earnhardt.

Immediately after the tribute, an epic race ensued.
