Jeff Gordon and Ray Evernham were on an unprecedented run of dominance in NASCAR in the 1990s. No race exemplified that more than the 1997 Winston all-star race. Using an experimental chassis, nicknamed T-Rex, thanks to its Jurassic Park sponsorship and lead designer Rex Stump, the car was everything Hendrick Motorsports hoped it would be and more. Working in the gray area worked like a charm. However, claiming the big prize, NASCAR outright banned the chassis moving forward. This video highlights why it was banned, what it did differently than other cars, and why this level of ingenuity may not be seen again in modern stock car racing.
