When Long finally qualified for his first Nascar Cup Series race, the 2000 Coca-Cola 600, he gave up his seat to NASCAR legend Darrell Waltrip so that Waltrip could run his final career Coca-Cola 600. In 2004, Long was involved in a accident at Rockingham that involved him getting airborne and flipping down the backstretch.

Eventually by 2017 Long had paid the fine and he and NASCAR were able to workout the majority of their differences. Finally alonging Long to run in the Cup Series again. Carl made his final NASCAR start in 2020, now he focuses on running his raceteam MBM Motorsports.
