I miss NASCAR on NBC

[Legometallica09]

"Hes getting better at this" xD

[jacob1234f]

He's getting better at this lol.

[erasetoimprove]

glad we have the car of tomorrow now a days so we don't have to see these single file finishes up front every time there's a plate race. The COT has turned plate racing from a joke back into something closer to what Daytona/Talladega racing USED to be.

[Hlover01]

if i remember correctly this was the 2nd race in a row at talladega that elliot sadler had flipped.

[barneynward]

@Hlover01 Yes you are correct.

[snikerscamry18]

lol he's getting better at this. the goal is to not flip lol

[gnccracer16]

man them cars sounded so good to bad they changed the way they sound now days in the cup series

[gennylite38]

this is what ive resorted to watchin old races where jr actully wins cause its jst to painful whatch em now

[cpcomedy314]

Roof flaps sort of make no sence... They make force at the bottom of the flap and it just makes it want to go up farther!

[codemanrose]

@cpcomedy314 I think Benny explained it years back on how when they open, air tends to go down into the car, which creates a down force, pushing the car down, keeping the wheels on the ground. But seems like no help.

[evilwatermelon]

@cpcomedy314

the goal of the roof flap is kind of like an airbrake on a plane. the goal is, once the car gets spun backwards roof flap comes up, slows the car down below that 195+ threshold and keep the car on the ground. as we know it doesnt always work as planned, but since 94 the cars dont fly like they used to(as often).

[JorgeHGPR]

The way the announcers make this finish so exciting I miss these good ol' days!

[SketchbookStudios1]

"Elliot Sadler! Again!' lol

[MegaLlamalord]

They say only the best flip at Daytona and Talladega. That must make Elliott Sadler a God.

[racer2009kyle]

lol reaction Bill Weber has for final lap its like a big tsunami is comming.. cracks me up..

[rogerpenskefan12]

they never showed a replay of khane and biffle wrecking!

[bareavis]

I hate TNT's commentators, except Benny Parsons.

[TyVulpine]

@bareavis Benny Parsons, Bob Jenkins and Ned Jarrett, the best NASCAR commentating team ever.

[bareavis]

@TyVulpine I agree 100%

[stormchaserDylan]

Elliott Sadler's flip in that race looked like Jeff Green's flip at Daytona in 2000

[thenatester24]

dale jr almost had a 6th win at talladega.

[clintcheif2009]

THE LE MANS CRASH MESSED HIM UP . look at the facts

Before crash

 12 sprint cup wins

19 nationwide wins

After crash

6 sprint wins

3 nationwide wins

[fatpatlives1998]

@clintcheif2009 yeah those burns did something cause jr fell off bad like jeff gordons back stop him from winning in 08

[vidEvWill]

Yeah that crash did cause some problems, a driver isn't as good as he was after he has a hard crash. It usually isn't easy to recover after that.

[ericstranne]

lol!"hes geting better at this" haha

[GhettoCountryBoi]

I was at this race. It was awesome gotta see my driver win...So I was like hell yeah!!!! but the flip scared me.

[yamaharider520]

back when nascar was awesome!!!!

[1AceMoneyMaker]

the second year in a row

[MegaLlamalord]

They say that only the greatest drivers flip at daytona and Talladega... Then I think this makes Sadler the greatest Talladega Driver ever.

[romero2k]

The last great run for the number 8 Budweiser car. Damn...

[darthvadersdaddy]

I was at that race i was so exciting seeing jr in front and all the action what a race =D

[MidniteHaze1]

this is the only finish on TNT (i think) that i didnt like cuz sounds like theyre screaming at each other

[garrettxxx1234]

thats what tony stewart did in the busch race but he didnt land on all 4 wheels like salder did, he dont have that good of luck at talledga

[Monkeyball480]

Oh wait you're talking about his 2006 flip right?

[garrettxxx1234]

ya 2006 it was almost jus like that exepcte he landed on his wheels

[DRIV3R24]

its funny cuz before the race sadler said he wanted to finish on all fours. and he did. he flipped on his wheels when he crossed the line.

[Dunnybrusher]

I love how the commentator said "He's getting better at this."

Too bad he couldn't top Ricky Rudd in '84!

[Jrl24rules39]

Yeah at least this time he finished the race... Great shot at the flagstand.

[dankmon1992]

B.P.

R.I.P.!

[spasticchuckles016]

elliot sadler flips alot, huh? Great vid by the way

[Dunnybrusher]

Especially in the EA Sports 500!

[IamTheShermanator]

man, that car spun forever before it finally flipped.
