Earnhardt, Rudd, Schrader, Marlin, Wallace, Labontes, Jarrett, Elliot. Back in the day when 40 year old men dominated the sport and there was almost nobody that you didn't like.
It's so weird during the red flg that they talk about how safe the cars was and they had dale earnhardts car for the example. R.I.P. Dale we miss you every race.
When the replay from Stewart's rear bumper gets shown (2:16:00), the voice over the radio sounds like Ken Schrader (I need 4 tires; I made it through! I flat-spotted the tires; I made it through.) At 2:21:00 (behind Steve Park), you'll see him lock up the tires, narrowly avoid Burton & Stewart, and cut to the inside to miss Martin & Robby Gordon.
Or maybe Tony just got knocked silly. But the voice didn't sound like him.
did anyone notice that Kyle Petty after his interview proceeded to put on hit HANS device? I'm sure he was convinced about it's usefulness after the tragedy that happened to his son. If only Dale had done the same :\
I very much appreciate this upload. I had only seen the crash (over & over). It was an amazing race minus the crash at the end. Even knowing the outcome, I still teared up when Sr & Kenny collided. I agree Kenny had a feeling Dale sr was gone. You could hear it in his voice & see it in his face.
Sad that at the beginning of this race we mourned the death of Adam Petty and at the end we was mourning the death of the greatest ever Dale Earnhardt. I miss my hero.
from a fan that hated dale earrnhardt with a passion as an 8 year old for always wrecking my favorite drivers, since this race ive gained a ton of respect for the ol number 3 and he has become one of my all time favorite drivers, still get imense chills everytime i see the cutscene of the field in turn three, then larry mac, then the two cars in the wall....still too powerful of a sight, r.i.p. dale 3
I feel so bad for Michael Waltrip. What should have been the best day of his life became the worst. He finally wins, but he loses his best friend in the process. That just isn't fair at all.
I liken Michael Waltrip's two Daytona 500 wins to the two Indianapolis 500s that Gordon Johncock won, since he never really got to celebrate either of them. Waltrip's great win in the 2001 race was overshadowed by the worst crash in the history of the event and later the crash that killed Earnhardt, and his win in 2003 will always be tainted by the fact that rain shortened the race to just 109 laps.
Of course, Johncock's first Indy win in 1973 is forever tainted by all the terrible things that happened, the 12-car crash on the first attempt to start the race that badly injured Salt Walther, Swede Savage's crash that eventually led to his death, and the pit road accident that killed a crewman on the car of Graham McRae, not to mention all the rain that also plagued that race, stretching it to three days, and shortening it even then. That race is on my channel.
But Johncock didn't get to celebrate his thrilling 1982 win over Rick Mears in what is considered by many to be the greatest Indianapolis 500 in history for very long, either. That's because his mother died on the night of the victory banquet, so Johncock, in his day, much like Michael Waltrip in the last decade, never really got to celebrate his two greatest victories.
NASCAR cars have always been the safest in motorsports. The fact that Tony Stewart wasn't seriously injured in his wild rollover crash on lap 174 of this race is proof of that. Actually, go back to the 1976 Daytona 500 broadcast, Jackie Stewart of ABC Sports applauded the safety of the NASCAR machines back then as the safest in motorsports. Some of that safety feature was also used in the 1978 Daytona 500 telecast, because of the hard crashes that took place in that race.
@cjs3872 I would argue that the "turn of century" Champ Cars were the safest racecars. Remember Zanardi's crash? He probably should have died, given his injuries (he survived on one PINT of blood while Dr. Terry Trammell and crew worked medical wonders on him). Aside from CART's top-rate medical staff, the reason Alex survived was the integrity of the car (improved over the years with input from Dr's Trammell and Olvey).
First, Zanardi surviving that crash had nothing to do with the safety of those Indy-type cars, though they were safer than their predecessors. First, that race should never have been held. Remember when it was held, just four and a half days after the 9/11 attacks, so you just had a feeling that nothing good would happen, and Zanardi's crash was the proof. As for the safety of the NASCAR cars, they've been the safest for decades, and continue to be.
One of the reasons that the stock cars have always been the safest in any form of racing, especially the ones in NASCAR's top series, is the fact that there's a roof over the driver's head. Also, there has been protection in the side area with steel bars for reinforcement, and now with the current Cup cars, a big foam block between the shet metal and roll cage that gives even greater protection than ever.
This is the day Nascar died. It started with FOX ruining how Nascar was covered and it ended with Dale's passing. I blame FOX. They pushed the race back an hour from it's past traditional noon start. Had the race started at noon like always it would of been totally different circumstances. I hate FOX and all of the other twenty-first century broadcasters coverage of Nascar. ESPN, TBS, TNN, ABC and CBS in the 80's & 90's were the best.
i always recall what i said on my way home from my brothers after watching this race...i was 10 at the time and kept saying "this was the most exciting race i've ever watched". Unfortunately it turned into the most tragic but you have to admit....this aero package was insane
Its amazing how that fateful day started off so glorious and this was shaping up to be arguably one of the greatest days/races in NASCAR history. Thats what strikes me now looking back on this day. How everything changed in the blink of an eye. In one moment the greatest high NASCAR could have ever imagined and the next moment, Its all changed forever
i can tell you all right now i was crying after here he was dead after that i was hope in he walk away just like he all ways did have a wreck he walked away form all the other ones he was in
Anyone else besides me really think the national anthem during this race was one of the best in Daytona history? Idk it just sounds so good and all their voices singing is really nice I think!
hey guys dale wold what us to be happy for him in what he did for the sport of Nascar so i know everyone misses the man in black but be happy he change the
Triumph & tragedy. RIP Dale. You have got to feel sorry for Michael, wins his first race and never got a chance to celebrate. You have to wonder why circumstances like this happen.
Thank you for uploading this whole race. If Dale Earnhardt wouldnt of died, this would be the best Daytona 500 ever. If i could ask you to never delete this video. I love this type of racing, side by side, and the lead changes. Thank you for uploading this video.
