2003 GM Quality 500

The 2003 GM Quality 500 was the 31st race of the 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season. The race at Lowe's Motor Speedway saw Christian Fittipaldi start from pole with a 28.994-second lap. David Green won the race in Hendrick Motorsports' No. 25 Chevrolet, his first career win in his final planned start for Hendrick. He had replaced Joe Nemechek just two weeks prior and Brian Vickers took over the car the following week in preparation for his full-time run in 2004.

Green held off Jamie McMurray by just 0.11-seconds at the drop of the checkered flag. He became the fifth first time winer during the 2003 season, joining his brother Jeff on that list.

Green's win was highly criticized after he initated a 14-car pileup in the speedway's first turn on a restart. He turned Bobby Labonte, who was making a pass for the lead on Jeff Burton. The crash damaged both Labonte and Burton and forced five others to retire from the race, including championship contending driver Mark Martin. Burton also had a stake in the title race at the time.
