Jerry Nadeau's Awesome Banzai Move at Sonoma, June 1998

[nucklehead2]

I'm glad they got rid of that old turn 4 thing and made the new one the way it is now

[racing202]

Holy crap! No one i don't think would do that nowadays.....

[ROBLOXdude95]

He did'nt pass. He was so nervous he did'nt know where to go because no one was infront of him and he did that.

[kasey9fan]

@ROBLOXdude95 lol. wrong.

[dcvanta]

I was there, turn 3a, my 1st live NASCAR race in 98. Sears Point looked so much different back then. I also have this race on tape, maybe I should try to upload that in high quality?

[nadeau1064]

@dcvanta Sounds good to me; I don't really have time to upload better versions of all these video clips. :)

[setoguchifan16]

i do that in nascar 04-08 all the time-doesn't always work, tho...

[tdiharold5265]

when i start making stop motions nadeau will be driving the 02

[nadeau1064]

@tdiharold5265 Sounds awesome. :)

[tdiharold5265]

@nadeau1064  oh it is want me to send you a list of the drivers

[nadeau1064]

@tdiharold5265 Sure, go for it. Send me a PM if you like. :)

Awesome work! I have Nadeau's car from this race as a Hot Wheels 1/64 diecast, really good job! Always kinda dug Nadeau, shame he had to retire, funnily enough I began routing for him after seeing him at an Infineon race too - the 2002 race where his car broke down when leading with like 4 laps to go, and he was actually matching Ricky Rudd stride for stride.

[shmarmkilla]

locks like somthing i would do in my video game

[docripoff19]

For some reason I love the way that Benny said "Oh but he's gonna get off the course!!!" hahaha

[setoguchifan16]

his suspension ended up breaking later on, cool move tho

[brad202684]

HA! I was there!!! We were sitting in turn 7, the first year they raced there with "The Chute!"

[e521soediv]

ahhhh mna that was awesome.

[Cooley24485]

seems like yesterday

[battalionfan888]

lol i remember watching this at 9 years old

awesome

[Temiree]

Lol, I remember this!

[louieakaslip]

I wish that Nadeau would return to the track in a racecar some day. I would love to see him behind the wheel again.

[biker7767]

I so agree... he was so good.. but this would not happen sadly becuase his injury is so bad.. i wish tht acident didnt happen and he could have kept racing.

[Jrl24rules39]

I think he has clearance to race, but one side (forget which one) is constantly numb, so it would be very tough for him to race again. Sad, because he had lots of wins left in him, I believe.

[combatking08]

NASCAR should go back to this configuration at Infenion. The new one sorta stinks.

Now if Jerry did that at the last lap, that would have been site to see.

[rustyshackleford01]

wasn't Nadeau under contract with bill elliott that year

[nadeau1064]

Yes he was. The #13 was co-owned by Bill Elliott and Miami Dolphins QB Dan Marino (thus the paint scheme) to form Elliott-Marino Motorsports.

[rustyshackleford01]

thanks for clearin that up

[O5fan]

When was this race on?

[nadeau1064]

Oh, I didn't get it off a rebroadcast; this is an original recording on ESPN2 in 1998. There was some kind of scheduling conflict so the first part of the race was shown on ESPN2.

[O5fan]

Oh, I see.

[lostfreakadam]

Alright! I loved this race!

[Randildo]

i make that move marlin made all the time in the video games. that was a sick move.
