It's amazing even in that spin, minus the collision with Kyle, how reasonably uner control Dale was able to keep #3. There never was nor will there ever be any driver like him.
R U smoking crack. Rick Mears is the best driver in the Mears gang, he won 4 indy's & 3 CART titles. Roger & Rick were both good offroad racers but when you compare family numbers, there is no comparison. Dale Sr was better at NASCAR than Rick was in CART & I like Rick Mears. Roger sucked in CART. Casey can't hold a candle to Dale Jr's numbers. Go do your research & re-evaluate your statement...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ken Squier said, that Dale Said that he would've given a million dollars for the last lap (in 1990) over again, and he wondered about the last 3 laps in 1991, I wonder how much he would pay for the last lap of the 2001 race? Would you wonder about that?
That's the real question. Hard to say. In this video they look like approximately 20"x30" but from other videos they look more around 24"x30", and possibly a little longer than that.
Yeah and being simply an affiliate of Roush Racing, they put Travis Kvapil who drove for Roush in Trucks in the car, so they are basically Roush-B. This is bad considering they ran circles around Roush for a while.
I know. He finished in the Top 10 in points twice when he drove the #22 car for Bill Davis. He could've been a contender for titles if he had the right equipment.
I wish Ward would have driven for Morgan-McClure back then when they were winning instead of having to drive their CRAPPY cars last season.
Well Morgan McClure like Petty Enterprise and Wood Brothers just stood still and never tried to get with the time...it ultimatley lead to there demise....A Mirror image of Melling Brothers
if it wasn't for that embankment of land, davey would of ended in Lake Lloyd....however they completely fixed that area awhile ago, putting pavement over the grass area and a concrete wall that says "Daytona's Superstretch"....either way i probably prefer hitting dirt then concrete at 200 mphs...
yeah, this was racing back in the day, the best in my opinion. Ernie was my backup driver if Earnhardt not succeeded in doing well in a race. I remember there was a Racing Champions race set that had the "1991 Daytona 500's" 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in a special group package. I had such a hard time finding the Kodak car till i came across that set!
@RazorRC3 they had that in 1992 when davey allison won it, with Shepherd and Bodine together. But the package was inaccurate in some packages that had Bodine listed as 2nd behind Allison.
4:24-6:00 what's with the second pace car?

Screw the roof cams. Being able to see the drivers wrestle the wheel inside the car while spinning out uncontrollably is where it's at.
