Tonys' paint scheme certainly didn't help his qualifying.

Info from Dustin Long.....
Jeff Gordon's first pole came Oct. 10, 1993, at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Do you remember what you were doing in 1993? How about who you were rooting for in NASCAR if you were a fan back then?
Here's the starting lineup from that day.....
1. Jeff Gordon .... 177.684 mph (for perspective, Gordon won the pole for Saturday's race with a lap of 191.544 mph)
2. Ernie Irvan ... who would go on to win the race.
3. Geoffrey Bodine
4. Ken Schrader
5. Bill Elliott
6. Greg Sacks
7. Mark Martin ... he would finish second in the race
8. Ricky Rudd
9. Dale Earnhardt ... he would win the champoinship that season
10. Brett Bodine
11. Joe Nemechek
12. Rick Mast
13. Harry Gant
14. Derrike Cope
15. Jimmy Spencer ... He drove a car owned by Bobby Allison
16. Morgan Sheperd ... He drove a car owned by the Wood Brothers
17. Todd Bodine ... he would finish last in the 42-car field that day because of a crash
18. Rick Wilson ... he was driving the No. 44 car of Petty Enterprises (the 43 didn't run in first year of Petty's retirement)
19. Rich Bickle
20. Michael Waltrip
21. Rusty Wallace
22. Terry Labonte
23. Hut Stricklin ... He drove a car owned by Junior Johnson
24. Darrell Waltrip
25. Andy Hillenburg ... finished 41st in the 42-car field and reason listed as out was fatigue
26. Ted Musgrave
27. Dick Trickle
28. Bobby Hamilton
29. Jim Sauter
30. Jeremy Mayfield
31. Kyle Petty
32. Jerry O'Neill
33. Wally Dallenbach
34. Sterling Marlin
35. Mike Wallace
36. Lake Speed ... finished 11th in the race, gaining more spots than any other driver
37. Bobby Hillin Jr.
38. Dale Jarrett
39. Chad Little
40. John Andretti
41. Bobby Labonte
42. .Kenny Wallace
Among those listed as failing to qualify for that race were: Dave Marcis, Billy Standridge, Loy Allen Jr., Bill Venturini, Norm Benning, Brad Teague, Jeff McClure and T.W. Taylor.
So, there's who Gordon was competing against in his rookie season. Brings back some memories. So what were you doing back in '93 and who were you rooting for?

I was 2 3/4 years old, and didn't know what racing was yet

3 through and through. That was before I knew that I was supposed to hate Jeff Gordon. Wow, have times changed.

Ahhhh, that was the beginning of the end of NASCAR....Drivers actually worked for teams and earned their seat...Now seats are given out like candy
