Due to the September 11 attacks happening earlier in the month, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered a no-fly zone, prohibiting aircraft from flying within three miles of any sporting event area, which also includes an altitude of 300 feet. To increase security, coolers and large bags were banned from the track, At the same time, other items like purses and binoculars were subject to inspection. Meanwhile, in the sense of patriotism after the attacks, Sterling Marlin ran a "God Bless America" paint scheme, which had not been prepared in time for the 2001 MBNA Cal Ripken Jr. 400 the week before. To support victims of the attacks, Marlin's sponsor Coors Brewing Company donated $10 for every lap completed at the race by Marlin.http://www.jayski.com/next/2001/2001kansas.htm 2001 Protection One 400 Jayski's Silly Season Site 2013-07-01 March 4, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304115658/http://www.jayski.com/next/2001/2001kansas.htm dead Entry list Car2001 Nascar Cup Series Protection One 400 Motorsport Stats https://results.motorsportstats.com/results/2001-protection-one-400 2021-06-22 results.motorsportstats.comDriverTeamManufacturer1Kenny WallaceDale Earnhardt, Inc.Chevrolet01Jason LefflerChip Ganassi RacingDodge2Rusty WallacePenske Racing SouthFord02Ryan NewmanPenske Racing SouthFord4Kevin LepageMorgan–McClure MotorsportsPontiac5Terry LabonteHendrick MotorsportsChevrolet6Mark MartinRoush RacingFord7Mike WallaceUltra MotorsportsFord8Dale Earnhardt Jr.Dale Earnhardt, Inc.Chevrolet9Bill ElliottEvernham MotorsportsDodge10Johnny Benson Jr.MBV MotorsportsPontiac11Brett BodineBrett Bodine RacingFord12Jeremy MayfieldPenske Racing SouthFord14Ron Hornaday Jr.A.J.
