Jarrett became the second second-generation driver to reach the pinnacle of NASCAR Winston Cup stock car racing. He and his father Ned joined Lee and Richard Petty as the only father-son combinations to wear the championship crown.

Labonte won five races en route to the runner-up spot in the champion­ship chase. Two-time winner Mark Martin came in third. Jeff Gordon won the most races, with seven, but ­finished sixth in the final tally.

Jarrett gave team owner Robert Yates his first career NASCAR Winston Cup championship. See how the other racers fared with the 1999 NASCAR Winston Cup standings chart below.
