1990 IROC XIV Race 1 @ Talladega

[bucky468]

Emerson Fittipaldi lol? Didn't that guy break the Indy 500 victory lane tradition when he took a sip of OJ instead of Milk. CART should've taken away his Indy 500 victory for that gaffe.

[Fastnotlast]

@bucky468 CART never sanctioned the Indy 500. During the years that the Indy 500 was on the CART schedule, it was still sanctioned by USAC, but I agree with you that it was a terrible gaffe for Fittipaldi to break the milk tradition.

[bucky468]

@Fastnotlast Was he lactose intolerant? Or was he allergic to milk? What was the deal w/that?

[Fastnotlast]

@bucky468 I think Fittipaldi owned an orange orchard or farm in Brazil and he wanted to promote orange juice.

So glad a NASCAR legend won IROC. CART was & still is one of the most OVERRATED series in all of auto racing. When Bobby Rahal dissed NASCAR in 1999 by saying how overrated NASCAR was & how CART was smoking NASCAR in ratings I got so pissed at him. That was a lie. 1998 was NASCAR's 40th anniversary yr & it was kicking CART's ass all over the place. Rahal also publicly dissed Dale Sr after his tragic death at Daytona. Ever since he spoke those words Rahal's been nothing more than a prick to me.

I wonder If nimaxx38 knows these are dodge daytona's o.0?

[nimaxx38]

Ok it done I'm geting a 1990 iroc z28 camaro 5.7 tuned port injection

[isaiah213]

i think should bring back iroc in 2011 and use the new camaro that would be cool

[Buggy1Boy]

@isaiah213 Agree! And these are the 12 drivers I think should be in IROC next year if they did bring it back...Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Todd Bodine, Steve Kinser, Patrick Sheltra, Dario Franchitti, Will Power, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, and Danica Patrick.

[flubber342]

@Buggy1Boy take out kyle bush.

[bucky468]

@Buggy1Boy You may never see another NASCAR driver crosss over to Indy Car again. On the other hand you may see more Indy Car racers test the NASCAR waters like Danica's doing now.

[C0LL1N]

haha what a short race, i bet none of them even broke a sweat

[Nascar24ms]

@C0LL1N lol this is a shortened version but i don't think these races were very long anyway.

[mssunshine66]

makes me miss ole dale even more god bless you Earnhardt....RIP

[checkfoldcallraise]

i miss this series of racing. i enjoy the variety of talent in all the cars. especially not having to deal with some new rookies out there trying to be heroes and causing wrecks. this is a treat for race fans.

[ooeellama]

That's cool to see Martin Brundle racing Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace, etc. at Talladega.

[dalejrfan800]

I wish the Iroc races were still here :(

[Cynon44]

@dalejrfan800 All they were from around 1995-onwards was an excuse for the NASCAR drivers to look better than they really were.

[romero2k]

i honestly thought the IROC camaro that ran up to the 89 season was the best looking IROC racer...

[dalejrfan800]

I think the 90 daytonas are... oh yeah! haha

[dalejrfan800]

Does anyone know where these 90 iroc cars are today? i want to take a look at them...

[HTFFuturamaFan]

Currently on ebay dalejrfan800. Some one is selling a set of 1991 diecast IROC cars.

[SeanHarbin]

Mark Martin owned this series.

[e521soediv]

when was this shown on ESPN classic?

[RedDEIFan]

BACK WHEN I LOVED DEGA WHAT A RACE

[Griff88fan]

When is nascar classic usually on? Awesome video though

[racermac1988]

Usually Thursday at 2PM. The race they show is usually a classic in relation to where they are that particular week.

[racingformusic]

Man, those Dodge Daytonas were (and still) are the coolest looking cars ever in IROC history.

[dalejrfan800]

haha I got a 90 daytona... doesnt have the V8 but it will still do the 1/4 in 11.7 @ 128! I love daytonas!

[JoeytheHDK]

With the glasses, Paul Page looks a little like George Costanza.

[lostfreakadam]

ESPN 2 was the shit back then!

[racermac1988]

Amen to that. Back when Speedworld was at its prime and when ESPN2 was desperate for programming.
