The rookie class of 2000 is a case study in cool--different types of cool.

Two Gen-Xers, defending Busch champ Dale Earnhardt Jr. from powerhouse DEI and perennial runner-up Matt Kenseth from the mom-and-pop Reiser Enterprises, came to Winston Cup surrounded by their homeboys and hoping to establish themselves in NASCAR's top series.

They've done it, too. Little E has found success on the track and has established himself as the epitome of hip. Kenseth has found success on the track with a cool, composed approach and has established himself as the most sought-after driver in the garage.

This year, their seasons have been vivid contrasts.
