the Dayton 500 race still kills me. I'm a Bobby Labonte fan, and, being that he hasn't won in about 5 or 6 years, it would have been nice to see him win the biggest race of the year. Still, I respect Labonte for pushing Bayne to the win. that was a heart warming moment. Hopefully Labonte can win one race this year.
Can't question #1. Second after people watched that everyone knew it would take something out of this world to beat that. The only problem I have with the list is that Waltrip beating Sadler at Daytona should be MUCH higher. I would put that in 3rd or 4th. Considering the finish itself, and with it being the 10 year anniversary to the day of him winning the 500 the same day we lost Earnhardt, I think that has to be 5th at worst.
My top 5 would be Trevor Bayne's Daytona 500 win at #1, Regan Smith's Southern 500 win at #2, Gordon over Johnson at Atlanta at #3, Harvick's win at California at #4, and Ambrose's win at The Glen would be 5th.
Atlanta was one of the best in recent memory. It wasnt crazy and no wild shit happened, but watching 2 of the sports best go at it on old tires on a worn out track was absolutely awesome. Should have been in the top 5 IMO
Jesus Christ... some of those finishes were NOT that good. Atlanta and the Southern 500 deserve to be in there over some. You could have just titled it, "Plate race finishes of 2011"
I love number nine! Seven is also great. Five fuck yea! Four, I love Marcos Amberose! Fuck number three. ESPN fails, Bowyer wins...nope, just Chuck Testa. I def agree with number one.
@Crisgo3d I KNOW! DAVE'S AN AWESOME GUY! He's actually a personal friend to my mom's family, and I've met him! he's really cool, and needs some good luck! But he should have a good season in 2012, he got some great money, an awesome sponser, and a team that will be able to get the job done with that money!
@WDRiddle2 Concerning #1. Couldn't the same be said for the rest of the plate races? Hell, all Trevor had to do was hold his line. Same goes for Ragan.
And I'm amazed Atlanta isn't on here. To have two of the best drivers in the sport hanging on for dear life while still racing side by side, all while Gordon gets 3rd on the all time win list.
@jamie1111111111111 You can say the same thing, I just thought it was nice because of their first win in the series. But there was really no skill, the person behind had the most. And also I don't like Jimmie Johnson one bit, so that's why I said what I said. And with Atlanta, that definately needs to be on the list. My least and second favorite driver (Gordon, behind Blaney) battled it out. Luckily Gordon won, which I was glad with, but that was just too exciting.
