2001 EA Sports 500 - PART 16/18 (Post Race)

I remember watching this...i was 11 and the first thing that came out of my mouth after that race was "the hans device got it's test today"...it was the first all drivers were mandated to wear it

[JeffGordon24Dupont]

This racing was so good back then. If a driver blocked somebody like Labonte did to Hamilton they would be whining and crying about it.

[Moose6340]

You could tell Bobby Hamilton was seriously shaken by that wreck when Labonte turned down across him. I don't blame him, that last few laps was insane, and then that Big One on top of that? Wow.

Boy Ricky was pissed....

Seeing the overhead view at 7:57, Bobby Hamilton was pretty lucky not getting totaled in the wreck.

Hey could you post the 2001 Daytona 500 if you can?

[battalionmedia]

i dont have that race, sorry

[biker7767]

One thing you dont see anymore these days from nascar is a driver shacking after a race. They were so exciting back then adreniline rushes, and now its boring and not exciting, they need to do something and maybe go back to the rules they had back then and maybe the cars. And most of the drivers now are afraid of taking chances or rubing a bit

They did find some sort of infraction on the 8 car afterwards, I was not sure what it was.

I have the last part of this race, Dale Jr's first restrictor plate win. I knew something big was gonna happen at the end and it sure did. Never got the other driver interviews but I got Junior's interview though.

[m140m]

Dale's Jr first restrictor plate win was at the Pepsi 400 that year. This was the start of his incredible four straight wins at 'Dega.

[vidEvWill]

@m140m yeah i meant his first at Talladega. I don't know exactly what I was thinking, considering I watched the 2001 Pepsi 400.
