Dale Jarrett should have won the Winston Cup this season. A terrible call by the officials at Watkins Glen forced him to make a pit stop because they “saw” and problem with his car that didn’t exist. He was running top 5 at the time and the stop relegated him back to about 30th place. He ended up finishing the season 14 points behind Jeff Gordon for the title. That blunder cost DJ at least 50 points in the standings and ultimately sank his chances at winning the cup. He was an absolute threat to win every week in 1997. Even though he ended up winning the title in 1999, in my opinion, 1997 was his best season.
