[1] After the end of the 2003 season, NASCAR transferred the Goody's Dash series to IPOWER (International Participants Of Winning Edge Racing).

A group of drivers began racing on a road course owned by former NASCAR Cup owner Bill Ellis.

Five-time champion Dean Combs used a Datsun 200SX in the 1980 season and became the first NASCAR driver to 'regularly' compete in a foreign-made car.

Contrary to popular belief, foreign cars had competed in NASCAR competition in the early days of the sanctioning body; indeed, a Jaguar won a NASCAR-sanctioned race in the Grand National division at a road course in Linden, New Jersey in 1954, according to commentator Mike Joy, and the last foreign-made car to compete in a NASCAR-sanctioned event was an MG at one Grand National race in 1963 (before Toyota, who had used the Dash Series to prepare their stock car endeavors as demonstrated by Robert Huffman's championship victory in 2003, entered the Truck Series in 2004 and later Cup Series at the beginning of the 2007 season).

During the series' existence, the series became a place for young drivers to gain valuable experience competing against seasoned veterans like Danny Bagwell, Geoff Bodine, Johnny Chapman, Jake, and Justin Hobgood, all of which have experience at the top levels of NASCAR.

It ended up upside down, the engine was gone, all the wheels were out, the windshield, and the sheet metal disintegrated, leaving only a pile of bent safety bars.

On February 8, 2004, the first IPOWER Dash race ended in tragedy when Roy Weaver, a safety worker at Daytona International Speedway, was killed when he was struck by a car driven by Ray Paprota.

In 2005, Weaver's widow and three children competed on The Amazing Race: Family Edition, a reality television competition show on CBS.
