At 1:50 you know that Big E is liking down from the heavens and just smiling from ear to ear and is very proud of both Michael and Dale, and I love how Michael was able to celebrate at Daytona that year since he was not able to because of what happened at the end of the 500.... Picture perfect for DEI :)
IN 11 YEARS OF CUP RACING...DALE HAS WON ON AVERAGE 1.68 RACES PER YEAR.....NO OFFENSE TO DALE...BUT I DONT THINK A GUY COULD HAVE THAT KIND OF RACE RECORD AND STILL HAVE A RIDE WITHOUT BEING BORN INTO IT LIKE KYLE PETTY WHOSE RECORD IS MUCH MUCH WORSE...OK LET THE INSULTS FLY
This is the race that got me back watching racing after Sr's death and it's also the race that made me realize that Theresa is a heartless bitch. To not be there for her late husbands special ceremonies held that day or to be there to support Junior, Michael, or Steve Park showed her true self and look at the Bitch now. She might be rich but she is nothing.
the most emotional part about this video is the fact that it goes so much deeper than this. If you come to this video having never known much about nascar, you're just not going to get as much out of it. There is so much more that goes into this win than you can see by just watching this video. You almost have to watch Nascar for the last 20 years to get the full impact. I am forever grateful of the Impact Dale Earnhardt has had on my life and i know that he will always be there in the stands.
@brunswickbball11 i see what you saying, but i think all race fans will understand how deep this is, not as you say get the full impact maybe, but they will understand how deep this is for NASCAR fans, akin (for brits anyway) to Damon Hill emulating his dad Graham and winning the F1 World championship. I remember my dad who was 17ish when Graham died, crying when Damon Won the championship in 96 just because it was the son of the possibly the greatest british F1 driver in the history of racing
@brunswickbball11 yea i completely get you but i was talking about those people who look at Nascar as just guys driving in circles for 4 hours. i know a ton of people who could care less about Nascar and those arte the guys i was talking about. i do see your point though
Man... I've been a die-hard Jeff Gordon my entire NASCAR lifetime (since early '95). Of course, by default, I kinda rooted against Dale Earnhardt, but never in a million years did I doubt how important he was to the sport.
When the unthinkable happened, I was in shock like everyone else for a while. When this race came around and Junior dominated like he did, and gave Mikey a chance to finally celebrate his 500 win, I got chills.
I still do. Every year around this time, I watch this.
If you think that NASCAR could have a race fixed, I think you need to go get to know the other 42 egomaniacal jackasses that you'd have to persuade to lose on purpose, just so the fans could have their perfect little fairytale ending...... No, this was a once in a lifetime moment that will never be matched again, just because it WAS SO fucking genuine, perfect, and real..... Also probably one of the reasons that NASCAR hasn't completely died out yet after Dale Sr.'s death
The 2001 season is definately the most memorable time ever in NASCAR, Earnhardt's life taken at Daytona, Steve Park wins 1 week after, Kevin Harvick wins 3 weeks after, and the next time they come to Daytona Dale Jr and Michael Waltrip still finish 1-2 (we all know that Dale was at EVERY RACE still showin hes around) will always remember this season as a storybook written perfectly (i usually dont belive in number games, but everytime Earnhardt is involved, numbers mean everything
I myself am not a Earnhardt fan (when racing) but there is not a single person in NASCAR that can say he didn't deserve this win, and I remember watching both the races, the death and this win and it was like it was a book it was so perfect.
Gotta love Waltrip." What an emotional day, thanks to Ritz cracker, Napa, Lady soft Maxi pads, TV dinners, and anyone else who needs a plug!". I know its there job, but still seems kinda odd in the moment.
There will be no greater victory than this one right here. Dale Jr.'s most memorable finish half a season later after losing his father. The greatest driver of all time. RIP Dale Earnhardt, The Intimidator. NASCAR will never be the same without you.
@TownerE agreed! chocolate lost it when dale won the 500 in 98..my favorite reaction of his tho is when harvick won in atlanta..such a good friend of dales.
Was back when the organization that Dale built was coming into its own...they spent the next 4 or so absolutely dominating races at daytona and talladega. But I don't care how much better his car was than anyone else's ( no doubt it was the class of the field ), and it doesn't matter what he did before this race or after this race...Let me put it like this. If I ever manage to honor and pay tribute to my father the way Dale Jr did for his father, I'll be content to know I'd have made him proud
TarheelsKenny , *Scripting a race at Daytona *first thing is you'll want an engine straight from a John Force Funny Car and hide it under the hoods of these cars, next you'll want that special set of MAGIC TIRES straight from Goodyears Cheat Shop ohh yea and lastly you just gotta have that INVISIBLE MAGIC Force Field Bubble to protect you from the other 42 Cars traveling at 190 MPH ... * Blink .. Blink !!!
man imagine how crazy daytona will be if jr wins the 500 breaking his winless and doing it 10 years sincehis father died, i know ill be going crazy, hell i was going crazy last year when jr almost beat mcmurray
if only dale was there to see that then he would be so happy to see his son do that trick on the grass like he did man i miss the good old days with dale was on top of his car when i was a baby and i hae a pic of it and its still in y house today
@Carnicrush you know how special this moment is when you have people from Australia, who rarely watch NASCAR, getting emotional over this. There was no other way for the race to end, it had to be a win for Junior....
@TarHeelsKenny you must be the Dumbest fucker ever who can decide who wins a race??? its all competition nothing involves scripts its all Racing and if you dont like it, dont watch it. and im not a Jr. Fan neither
One of the greatest moments in NASCAR history. You can only know that his father was sitting and standing right beside him that entire evening. That race was meant for Jr and him only.
Well, I never really mind Dale Jr. Good guy and everything, just kinda lost it recently. I wouldn't mind if he did well but I would like it if he doesn't win it's not all about his crew cheif or Hendrick. I'm always for the underdog, and I was only 5 when I watched this, but man it does warm you're heart to see this.
There was no set up, but I wouldnt put it past the drivers in the field, most if not all who knew Dale Sr., to have laid back and wanted the kid to win it for dad. Then again, DEI had a MONSTER superspeedway package for about 5 years after this, so they had the power to finish 1-2 regardless.
that was just amazing 1-2 and mikey followed him in 2nd damn that was emotion even for the fans, my dad was a true Dale Sr. fan and so was I, i remember that race. damn
man this was what 9 years ago..and i still get teary eyed. i was like 15 at the time. I remember this night..DIE HARD Rusty wallace fan, but I was pulling crazy for Jr.
I remember watching this with my family.... Me a DJ fan my bro loved KURT BUSCH pops liked HARVICK... But we were screaming and partying for Dale Jr that night. I still to this day can't believe they both went 1-2 again...
Redneck earnhardt fansat their best or worst. Don't be angry cuz this talentless fuck wad can't drive for shit and all of his wins were written in the NASCAR script. Jr is the Hulk Hogan of NASCAR. DEI = Daddy earned it
Their are two people that did'nt like this video. Who would'nt like this video, it's one of the greatest moments in all of Nascar and sports history for that matter.
@rkteen619 Sr won his very last race in the same fashion Jr won this one. In the 2000 Winston 500 Sr went from 18th to win it with four laps to go. That's why the announcer said "Using lessons learned from his father."
Anybody believes that Jr was handed that race is full of shit! In the 2000 Winston 500 Sr went from 18th to win it in four laps. This was the passing of the torch from Father to Son. RIP #3
Im in no way a Dale Jr fan...but this was a win that i celebrated to with him. I remember my Dad said, "Oh Bullshit...NASCAR GAVE him that win...." but I said ,"Man...even if they did, fuck it. You can't get better entertainment than this. Dude's Dad DIED at this track only 6 months earlier...and he came back and won for him."
@ScottNEwberry When the announcer said "using lessons from his father..." In the 2000 Winston 500 Sr went from18th to win it in four laps. I agree anyone who thinks Jr was handed that is full of shit. The torch got passed that day.
the most emotional, storybook ending in NASCAR history...gives me chills every time I watch this as a 3 fan...I was only 9 when this happened and I remember how awesome this race was
TarHeelsKenny sounds like a disgruntled teenager who gets picked on in school. So you resort to bashing a Nascar driver cause he can't hurt you. Aww. you need a therapist. Besides did you ever check the stats for Dale Jr? NASCAR Sprint Cup Series statistics Wins: 18 Top Tens: 142 Poles:8 NASCAR Nationwide Series statistics Wins: 22 Top Tens: 72 Poles: 10 hes obviously not the most popular due to his sucky driving. IDIOT.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Jr sucks dude. He got most of those wins in a 5 year span. But just how many wins does he have since 2005? Now he's just in Nascar because of his popularity and because his last name is Earnhardt.
As a Nascar fan, I'd have to say you're wrong. What if they scripted Earnhardt to win the 2001 Daytona 500 but he crashed?? Too many flaws in your little theory. By the amount of "thumbs downs" you recieved, I don't think anyone will disagree with me. Except for you of course. So get off your parents computer and get a life. By the way, calling someone a dumb bitch over the INTERNET isn't intimidating or insulting, like you may think it is. Oh, and nice comparison to the WWE, by the way.
I ran out of character space, there. Tell me how WWE is anything remotely like NASCAR? As a fan of both, there isn't anything, other than a hectic schedule. So again, leave these videos for the fans. If it's so "scripted" you clearly aren't a fan, so just stop searching for vidoes to try to look cool on the internet :) Goodbye!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't give a shit how many of you mindless rednecks disagree with me. It's so simple, even your inbred mind can understand it. NASCAR has been "writing scripts" for years. Look after every tragedy and what teams it affects. They win either the next race or the next big racex. After Earnhardt hit the wall, who won the next week? DEI of course. Who won the Daytona 500 6 years TO THE DAY his daddy did? Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Who won the Pepsi 400 11 years to the DAY after Dale Sr won his first points race at Daytona? Dale Earnhardt Jr. When Jimmy Spencer won his only race at Daytona, McDonalds was the sponsor of the car. They threatened to pull out of NASCAR and low and behold who wins the race? Jimmy Spencer. Look at LOWES Motor Speedway. WHo has won the last 4 Cup titles? The guy driving the LOWES car. It's no coincdence, you DUMB BITCH.
By the way, I'm not inbred or a redneck. So, fuck you. Also, Ever heard of "trying to do your dad proud"???? It is a coincidence. I'm concerned for your intelligence level by your lack of ability to spell correctly. Please, get an education! But according to your profile, you're 36, so it's far too late for that, eh? Just because YOU come up with a theory, doesn't mean it's true. Thanks and goodbye!
TarHeelsKenny---You are truly the stupidest fucker i have ever read a sentence from.. Honestly i wish i was in front of you to slap the teeth out of your fuckin mouth. You cannot script a fucking race with cars that are going 190 mph side by side and front to back... You are an ignorant fucker that needs some common sense
@TarHeelsKenny big tough guy talkin shit and actin tough...but most all soundin like a fuckin idiot. yeah good theory...why dont you go on the speed channel and say that on national tv mr. script. do you understand how fuckin retarded you sound when you say that?! wow
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Actually, I agree with you.
Who won 5 straight races at Talladega after his daddy dominated the place? Jr
It just so happens that the right guy wins each race. And Nascar does have its pretty boys.. I have noticed that in the last couple years and it finally dawned on me.. You can't script a race, but Nascar can sure as hell control who wins a race.
Montoya last year at Indy.. they threw a speeding down pit lane violation on him.
1. Driver fatigue from being inside a 150+ degree car for 3+ hours
2. Driver error from going 200 MPH for 3+ hours with 42 other cars all around
3. Other driver/spotter errors
There's just NO WAY that NASCAR can "control" a 3-hour+ race and determine who wins. It's just conspiracy theorists that love to claim bullshit (which always falls apart when challenged by logic)
@Nocstaa You do know he won 4 in a row? Not 5. He finished second in the 5th one. And who care how he is doing now, at this moment at this race, he had the car and he had the team. It's one of Nascar's most memorable moments.
Im a gordon fan but this is one of the coolest wins ever

This win made the new face of Nascar after Dale Earnhardt died. I hope Junior gets it together and gets back into this form soon.

Waltrip and Jr....this is how team mates are supposed to run together. I am so sick of these petty in-team NASCAR rivalry's in NASCAR today.

Redneck earnhardt fansat their best or worst. Don't be angry cuz this talentless fuck wad can't drive for shit and all of his wins were written in the NASCAR script. Jr is the Hulk Hogan of NASCAR. DEI = Daddy earned it

its cool that he won the same day that his dad won his first race and he won the 500 the same day as his dad won his first five hundred congrats Dale

@rkteen619 Sr won his very last race in the same fashion Jr won this one. In the 2000 Winston 500 Sr went from 18th to win it with four laps to go. That's why the announcer said "Using lessons learned from his father."

Im in no way a Dale Jr fan...but this was a win that i celebrated to with him. I remember my Dad said, "Oh Bullshit...NASCAR GAVE him that win...." but I said ,"Man...even if they did, fuck it. You can't get better entertainment than this. Dude's Dad DIED at this track only 6 months earlier...and he came back and won for him."

@ScottNEwberry When the announcer said "using lessons from his father..." In the 2000 Winston 500 Sr went from18th to win it in four laps. I agree anyone who thinks Jr was handed that is full of shit. The torch got passed that day.

HAHAHA, NASCAR SCRIPTED? Yeah I am sure that they script wrecks in there so they could potentially be in the hospital or end up dead.
If people actually believe this we have more problems than Dale Jr has with his car every year. What a sad world we live in with these morons.

Jr sucks dude. He got most of those wins in a 5 year span. But just how many wins does he have since 2005? Now he's just in Nascar because of his popularity and because his last name is Earnhardt.

NASCAR writes scripts like the WWE and this was one of their best.
TarHeelsKenny 2 years ago
So you're saying they "wrote" Dale Sr's death? That's ridiculous. Leave these videos for the fans.
amandaanicolex3 2 years ago
No you dumb bitch. I said they wrote the script for Jr to win this race. Just like they did when Hendrick' plane hit crashed.
TarHeelsKenny 2 years ago
As a Nascar fan, I'd have to say you're wrong. What if they scripted Earnhardt to win the 2001 Daytona 500 but he crashed?? Too many flaws in your little theory. By the amount of "thumbs downs" you recieved, I don't think anyone will disagree with me. Except for you of course. So get off your parents computer and get a life. By the way, calling someone a dumb bitch over the INTERNET isn't intimidating or insulting, like you may think it is. Oh, and nice comparison to the WWE, by the way.
amandaanicolex3 2 years ago 3
I ran out of character space, there. Tell me how WWE is anything remotely like NASCAR? As a fan of both, there isn't anything, other than a hectic schedule. So again, leave these videos for the fans. If it's so "scripted" you clearly aren't a fan, so just stop searching for vidoes to try to look cool on the internet :) Goodbye!

I don't give a shit how many of you mindless rednecks disagree with me. It's so simple, even your inbred mind can understand it. NASCAR has been "writing scripts" for years. Look after every tragedy and what teams it affects. They win either the next race or the next big racex. After Earnhardt hit the wall, who won the next week? DEI of course. Who won the Daytona 500 6 years TO THE DAY his daddy did? Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Who won the Pepsi 400 11 years to the DAY after Dale Sr won his first points race at Daytona? Dale Earnhardt Jr. When Jimmy Spencer won his only race at Daytona, McDonalds was the sponsor of the car. They threatened to pull out of NASCAR and low and behold who wins the race? Jimmy Spencer. Look at LOWES Motor Speedway. WHo has won the last 4 Cup titles? The guy driving the LOWES car. It's no coincdence, you DUMB BITCH.

Aw, I feel bad for just how stupid you are.
By the way, I'm not inbred or a redneck. So, fuck you. Also, Ever heard of "trying to do your dad proud"???? It is a coincidence. I'm concerned for your intelligence level by your lack of ability to spell correctly. Please, get an education! But according to your profile, you're 36, so it's far too late for that, eh? Just because YOU come up with a theory, doesn't mean it's true. Thanks and goodbye!

TarHeelsKenny---You are truly the stupidest fucker i have ever read a sentence from.. Honestly i wish i was in front of you to slap the teeth out of your fuckin mouth. You cannot script a fucking race with cars that are going 190 mph side by side and front to back... You are an ignorant fucker that needs some common sense

Actually, I agree with you.
Who won 5 straight races at Talladega after his daddy dominated the place? Jr
It just so happens that the right guy wins each race. And Nascar does have its pretty boys.. I have noticed that in the last couple years and it finally dawned on me.. You can't script a race, but Nascar can sure as hell control who wins a race.
Montoya last year at Indy.. they threw a speeding down pit lane violation on him.
Nocstaa 2 years ago
Sorry, too many variables to "control" a race.
TyVulpine 2 years ago
Name some of these variables?
Nocstaa 2 years ago
1. Driver fatigue from being inside a 150+ degree car for 3+ hours
2. Driver error from going 200 MPH for 3+ hours with 42 other cars all around
3. Other driver/spotter errors
There's just NO WAY that NASCAR can "control" a 3-hour+ race and determine who wins. It's just conspiracy theorists that love to claim bullshit (which always falls apart when challenged by logic)
TyVulpine 2 years ago 3
@Nocstaa You do know he won 4 in a row? Not 5. He finished second in the 5th one. And who care how he is doing now, at this moment at this race, he had the car and he had the team. It's one of Nascar's most memorable moments.
