The race was held before a crowd of 56,000 on March 21, 2004 at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina. Jimmie Johnson of Hendrick Motorsports would win the race, leading 69 laps. Bobby Labonte of Joe Gibbs Racing and Ryan Newman of Penske-Jasper Racing would take 2nd and 3rd, respectively. The race would be the last spring Darlington race until 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic forced NASCAR to race at Darlington in the spring, as the Ferko lawsuit would move the second race that Darlington originally had, the Southern 500, to Texas Motor Speedway for a promised second date to Texas. The Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 would therefore move to the fall and be lengthened to 500 miles, making the race the new Southern 500.Sports Business Journal https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com:443/Daily.aspx 2021-08-27 www.sportsbusinessjournal.com en In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic would make NASCAR race once again at Darlington in the spring,2020-04-30 NASCAR announces revised May schedule NASCAR https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2020/04/30/nascar-announces-revised-may-schedule-as-racing-returns-beginning-at-darlington-raceway/ 2021-08-27 Official Site Of NASCAR en-USBachman Rachel 2020-04-30 Nascar Makes Move, Announces May 17 Return From Coronavirus en-US Wall Street Journal https://www.wsj.com/articles/nascar-makes-move-announces-may-17-return-from-coronavirus-11588282060 2021-08-27 0099-9660 and in 2021 after rekindled fan interest, would announce that Darlington would once again get its spring 400-mile race, this time called the Goodyear 400.Darlington welcomes the return of a spring race weekend https://www.wltx.com/article/sports/nascar/101-f8de9ebe-195f-4f1e-9b5a-7c87b87b097c 2021-08-27 wltx.com 5 May 2021 en-US2021-04-14 NASCAR cup series spring race in Darlington to be named 'Goodyear 400' https://www.wbtw.com/sports/nascar-cup-series-spring-race-in-darlington-to-be-named-goodyear-400/ 2021-08-27 WBTW en-US Background #2004 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 race results https://www.racing-reference.info/race-results/2004_Carolina_Dodge_Dealers_400/W/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20210428001717/https://www.racing-reference.info/race-results/2004_Carolina_Dodge_Dealers_400/W/ 2021-04-28 DriverTeamMake0Ward BurtonHaas CNC RacingChevrolet01Joe NemechekMBV MotorsportsChevrolet2Rusty WallacePenske-Jasper RacingDodge02Andy BelmontSCORE MotorsportsPontiac4Kevin LepageMorgan–McClure MotorsportsChevrolet5Terry LabonteHendrick MotorsportsChevrolet6Mark MartinRoush RacingFord8Dale Earnhardt, Jr.Dale Earnhardt, Inc.Chevrolet9Kasey KahneEvernham MotorsportsDodge09Joe RuttmanPhoenix RacingDodge10Scott RiggsMBV MotorsportsChevrolet12Ryan NewmanPenske-Jasper RacingDodge15Michael WaltripDale Earnhardt, Inc.Chevrolet16Greg BiffleRoush RacingFord17Matt KensethRoush RacingFord18Bobby LabonteJoe Gibbs RacingChevrolet19Jeremy MayfieldEvernham MotorsportsDodge20Tony StewartJoe Gibbs RacingChevrolet21Ricky RuddWood Brothers RacingFord22Scott WimmerBill Davis RacingDodge24Jeff GordonHendrick MotorsportsChevrolet25Brian VickersHendrick MotorsportsChevrolet29Kevin HarvickRichard Childress RacingChevrolet30Johnny SauterRichard Childress RacingChevrolet31Robby GordonRichard Childress RacingChevrolet32Ricky CravenPPI MotorsportsChevrolet38Elliott SadlerRobert Yates RacingFord40Sterling MarlinChip Ganassi RacingDodge41Casey MearsChip Ganassi RacingDodge42Jamie McMurrayChip Ganassi RacingDodge43Jeff GreenPetty EnterprisesDodge45Kyle PettyPetty EnterprisesDodge48Jimmie JohnsonHendrick MotorsportsChevrolet49Ken SchraderBAM RacingDodge50Derrike CopeArnold MotorsportsDodge72Kirk ShelmerdineKirk Shelmerdine RacingFord77Brendan GaughanPenske-Jasper RacingDodge80Andy HillenburgHover MotorsportsFord88Dale JarrettRobert Yates RacingFord89Morgan ShepherdShepherd Racing VenturesDodge94Stanton BarrettW.
