Finish to the 1993 Daytona 500

[caseyreavis]

"the dale and dale show and you know who i'm pullin for" one of nascar's most famous quotes

[CBright7831]

"Look at Martha! Oh dear she's in tears!"

[Lights0ut1109]

Ned would later apologized to Earnhardt for cheering for Jarrett in the press box. Earnhardt replied back "Don't you ever forget I'm a Dad too." Earnhardt was a good man R.I.P

[don312000]

@Lights0ut1109 I'm sure Dale Sr was cheering just as loud in 2005 as Ned was in 1998!!!

[UltimateWheelman]

Call your son home, Ned.

[NITRO2494]

"It's the Dale 'n Dale show"

[StFidjnr]

@MrRex41591 in terms of a full cup assault

[bdrman]

This was truly a different time that is lost now. Notice how it's about the people and not all the crap that is thrown up on the screen today?

[romero2k]

This loss wasn't as bad for Dale as 1990 but it was another setback none the less, man I hated tuning in for Daytona every year just to see him lose, I hated the commentators always picking him to win cause I thought it gave him bad luck. Thank goodness he finaly got his in 1998.

[verizon20051]

If Gordon had pushed Jarrett, Gordon could've won.

[The1994Gforce]

How about Jeff Gordon, huh? His 1st Daytona 500, he wins the Gatorade Duel and finishes 5th. At this time, he was only 21 years old. He was born to race. That's why he's been racing since he was 5 years old. Jeff Gordon forever!

[KCity14Podolak]

I was only 3 when this race took place. I became a NASCAR and Dale Earnhardt fan in 2000 when he beat Bobby Labonte in Atlanta. I just saw this highlight and as an Earnhardt fan I actually teared up when Dale Jarrett won this race. How awesome is it to win one of the biggest sporting events in American History and to have your Dad call your way to victory lane. How can you not tear up after this?

[coalesce99]

Not a racing/NASCAR fan, but this is pretty cool.

[bagelproductions24]

Nice race for Hut

[thedude19766]

is this gordon's first year in nascar?

[systematicchaos]

I never was a very big fan of Dale Jarrett, but I still think this was one of the most magical moments in racing. It still gives me goosebumps today to hear Ned call his son home.

You really have to give Ken Squier and Neil Bonnett kudos too for stepping aside and allowing Ned to bring him home. Ned typically didn't call them home as Squier or Jenkins did, but really, there could have been no one better to make the call this day.

[KingCuervo88]

Ned sounds like Darrell during the 2001 Daytona 500

[StFidjnr]

@ 1:26 dale and dale show.

[jeanne685]

every time i watch this? i still cloud up!! what a GREAT DAY, for the WHOLE jarret family!! and Ned is/was always my favorite commentator.. not to mention, a past champin of the sport i LOVE. even though, i dont remember when he actually raced? i LOVE the man!! what a GREAT embassador the this sport,he must have been...

[StFidjnr]

that's one biased announcer the other two are UN-biased

[systematicchaos]

@StFidjnr

I'd probably be biased too if I was also calling my child home to win the Daytona 500.

[KCity14Podolak]

@systematicchaos I agree. Not only that. Ned Jarrett, after the race, went up to Dale Earnhardt to apologize to him for not playing it fair and before Ned could say anything, Dale said "It's ok, I'm a father too".

[Mr420woo]

this is one of many 500's where earnhardt could have made a last lap pass

[snikerscamry18]

nice one. You would think The Interminator coulda just turned jarret

[snappy452]

@snikerscamry18 lol Interminator. Earnhardt mighta been guilty quite a few times for pushin some guys out of the way, but the man wasnt stupid. If you turn someone at Daytona on purpose, especially in these days, you put their life on the line. Earnhardt was a hard ass, but he wasnt scum. Gordon, on the other hand......

[Airman241]

@snappy452 Gordon was never a dirty racer Earnhardt would wreck other drivers Gordon was not intimimnated by Earnhardt

[allsmurfedup]

out of all the great, close finishs in nascart, this has to be the best

[TyVulpine]

Funny it did end up being the "Dale and Dale" show. Jarrett won the 500, but Earnhardt won the Cup...

[666turbobusa]

jeffs first 500 you could tell he would win a few after that show

[MurphyMonster]

Now how can you argue with a mustache like DJ's

[yargh92]

My favorite call of all time in Nascar..... great hearing a dad cheer on his son as he wins the biggest race in his Sport.

[AlexSprenger]

In my opinion, this was the best race in NASCAR history. This race had everything: tempers (the Hillin/Petty run-in), excitement (Rusty's flip), and an incredible feel-good finish.

[AngryGundamGamer]

One thing about these old races, they were so good that although they already happened and you know whose gonna win anyway, you still root for a person as if its happening right now, that's how great NASCAR was... I hope we can return to that former glory starting in 2010.

[cstrnutt2004]

@AngryGundamGamer That finish at Daytona wasn't bad though

[AngryGundamGamer]

It was a good finish. When it comes to the Daytona 500, I like to see either a past Champion who has not won it win it, or anyone else who has not won it.

[TyVulpine]

@AngryGundamGamer

One reason why the 1998 500 is the greatest race ever. 20th try, 19 failures for Earnhardt, and the pit road scene afterward, unbelieveable.

[beefheart22]

It was this race that got me hooked on NASCAR

[fastfortress]

Davey and Alan's last 500.

[romero2k]

man i remember watching this race wishing Ned Jarrett would STFU. how in the hell did the car lose it like that on the last lap. Why did it always have to be right at the damn end of the race, man i swear there is not another driver in any motorsport that had the relationship Dale Sr did with daytona

[CelicaBlitzy]

@romero2k he had a great relationship with daytona, he had a terrible relationship with the daytona 500 lol

[TyVulpine]

Dale E holds the record at Daytona with 34 career wins there.

[666jewkid]

@romero2k dale earnhardt actually has the most ever wins at daytona. he was the best driver at daytona actaully. it was the daytona 500 is what he had a problem with. he should have atleast 5 daytona 500 wins if it wernt something happening at the end. earnhardt won the 1990 daytona 500 in my eyes

[davidallenroth]

i still get choked up. my all-time fave nascar moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!

come on dale you know hes holding it to the floor board!!!!!!!!!!!

[KL58383]

This win officially put joe gibbs on the map in nascar

[Banger82]

Many people think this race was rigged... I'm not for sure

[mking82]

what ever happened to that Jeff Gordon guy

[vettedude418]

haha if he cudda went with jarrett instead of earnhardt

[Steventhe2nd]

i think he finished 5th

[KL58383]

Gordon was a rookie that year.....................and for a rookie to finish 5th in a race like this, that is impressive.

[24jeffgordan88JRfan]

no thats more than impersive GO GORDON

[bill11012]

IIRC it was only his second point race. He did very well.

[ilovetogofast88]

...and this was only his SECOND win, amazing.

[vidEvWill]

My first Daytona 500, the first race I ever saw on TV was the 1993 Daytona 500.

[XXformula]

This is what made NASCAR great, The whole racing family feeling. These days it seems like that feeling is gone

[VirgoDragon092176]

I miss watchin DJ. He is a true icon to the sport of Nascar. He always gave all the credit to everyone else. A true gentleman on and off the track.

[e521soediv]

one of the best finishes ever

[asman9]

i love dale. ned and dale jarrett are awesome. GOOD LUCK IN THE ALL STAR RACE!

[kmfdm74]

[DieKolkrabe]

Who reckons Dale could follow Ned into the booth?

DK

[DieKolkrabe]

10 months later, Dale does a good job in the booth

[Royalhighlander]

hARD TO BELIVE dALE IS RETIRIN THIS YEAR NOW.. wHAT A RACE HAVING HIS dAD CALL THE END..

[Dixonater]

pretty cool. I just posted the end of the 2008 daytona 500 if you wanna watch. Just go to my acount!

[jlkilpat]

This is awesome; one of my all time favorites. Ned did an outstanding job here and made this finish so memorable. Any of us who are dads would have loved this chance to cheer on our son at their best.

[bsoo76]

I love Ned's call here.

[vidEvWill]

I heard the Dale's reaction to Ned cheering Dale on in the booth was "Don't worry, I'm a daddy too"

[usmceighmey]

I've been looking for this video FOREVER!!! Thanks so much for posting it!!! Wow, great finish, LOVE hearing Ned call it for DJ, spectacular call!! And boy, oh boy, do I miss Ned Jarrett and Benny Parsons in the broadcast booth!!!

[agnis83]

Scott Wimmer finished 3rd in 2004 - highest ever for a rookie.

[BEJAN92]

this such a good ivdeo thanks for posting

[ltnascar]

Jeff Gordon was the highest rookie in the 500 by finishing 4th but that was the only time that rookie finish in the top 5 untill 2006 went Clint Boywer finished in the top 10.

[tylerhead24]

Scott Wimmer, 2004- finished 3rd

[18babbfan]

Thank you very much for posting a classic Daytona 500 finish.

[yowaso21]

oh thanks for telling me

[yowaso21]

[zuel660]

Actually it was 1996, Jarrett's 1st year in the Yates #88.

[battalionfan888]
