In 1996, Dale Jarrett and his Robert Yates Racing crew began the tradition of the winning driver and crew kissing the bricks at the start-finish line, which has carried over to the Indianapolis 500.

Dale Jarrett started the tradition in NASCAR at the Brickyard. It helped give NASCAR an identity at Indianapolis separate from the Indy 500 and the drink of milk.

Jeff Gordon won the inaugural NASCAR Race at the Brickyard; but it was Dale Jarret who began the tradition of kissing the brinks.

Dale Jarrett started the tradition in NASCAR after his win in 1996 and Gil de Ferran started the tradition for the INDY 500 after his win in 2003.
