1993 Daytona - PART 2/21 (Grid/Start)

[arenasnow]

Interesting to hear Ned Jarrett in this part hoping for few cautions. Now compare to present-day Darrell Waltrip who sometimes even calls for unnecessary debris cautions to provide more "action". What happened to class in NASCAR?

[marvinwilkins]

Neil Bonnet one of the alltime greats

[marvinwilkins]

Jeff was playing Sennas Monaco GP

[Cooley24485]

row 2 wasn't too shabby

[patrickdron]

it was weird seeing The King without his traditional Cowboy Hat.

[Mikehergie]

Nobody called em like Squire.

[dallaw2]

How many drivers do u know leading their first lap in their 1st Daytona 500

[sporgie84]

@dallaw2 Kevin Harvick in 2002, David Gilliland in 2007, and whoever led the first lap of the 1959 Daytona 500

[jamespic]

Jeff Gordon's First Daytona 500!!!!!

[Welshmonster87]

This was when nascar was good.

[33skoalbandit]

Look at Jeff kicking ass at Super Monaco GP.

[BadBooking]

@33skoalbandit And goes to the lead on lap one as if it was a three wide pass at Monaco! (in the game that is)

[F15AUS]

Did Ernheardt ever win a 500?

[TGaT85]

Yes, Earnhardt did win a 500

[rockypc24]

you must be new at this

[Jesant13]

According to the book "Jeff Gordon: Racing Back to the Front - My Memoir", Gordon was the first rookie to ever lead the first lap at Daytona. That's why I watched this video. Very impressive. :)

This remains to this day, the ONLY NASCAR start for Little Al, Big Al would start some in the late 80's on road courses.

[RothmansRenaultF1]

This is much better than the crappy 2009 Daytona 500. NASCAR SHOULD GO BACK TO CBS!

[gwood299]

fox is good, but the new espn crew sucks, and tnt is getting boring too

[WSBT960]

2008 will go as the best race that didn't go the distance...and for AJ Allmendinger's near "Derrike Cope upset".

[jaggedlittlethrills]

Wonder boy leads the first lap in his first 500? I think we knew then he'd be good.

[nadeau1064]

For this year's 500 grid, I almost stole Mr. Squier's "my, what an impression he made---on the wall" line for Newman's crash in this year's Duel, but I felt my script was already too long. :P

[dadirrtywhyteboi]

interesting field i am amazed that the cash prize was 2.5 million shows how much things have changed since 1993

[skagemann]

damn spencer's been doing that dirt thing since at least 93?

[TimmyTickle]

Congratulations to Bill Elliott on being the fastest clean-shaven qualifier :)

[pwnzor3000]

great vid.

this was the year before i was born, oh and look at the amazing mustaches back then

[Petrooli]

10 drivers out of 41 had mustache, these guys were MEN, even Gordon had mustache.

not today...

[DFDSFUEIFH]

AND THE FIRST 4 STARTERS had mustaches! LMAO. Earnhardt did have a mustache, you just have to look hard.

[JRracing0116]

@DFDSFUEIFH HAHA! it musta been the mustaches era of nascar!

[racermac1988]

The King led them down that sunny day in Daytona... 15 years later (2008), Our sports King Richard would do it again!
