[The Pronto Auto Parts 400 race]

Photograph of the Pronto Auto Parts 400 race held at Texas Motor Speedway on June 11, 1999. Two long lines of multi-colored cars drive across three lanes as they cross a checkered line on the road. Along the left edge of the road is a tall line of fencing consisting of poles that slightly curve towards the road below them. A small gap in the fencing is occupied by an elevated blue box with the white text "pronto auto parts" on its side and three people standing inside, two dressed in red shirts while a third person in white waves a green flag. On the left side of the fencing is an open area where over half a dozen people in high-visibility vests stand. A label on the back of the photograph identifies the man waving the green flag as heavyweight boxer Butterbean, who had participated in "Friday Night Fights" in The Speedway Club after Dennis Setzer won the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race.
