Daytona and the Brickyard cost Gordon the 1996 title

@daftpunkluvr72

God, you're an ass, dude.

[daftpunkluvr72]

@JosephShelton ok u know what that comment was from a whole year ago and i already explained what happened so if you cant figure out the meaning of what i posted RIGHT ABOVE YOUR COMMENT, sorry. and i really dont think my explanation was in any way being an ass. >:(

[427BELAIR]

typical #3 at daytona/talladega, freight trained out of the lead, back to 13th place, just over 3 laps later he retakes the lead. the best ever.

These camera views were so great.

Dick Trickle...one race deal in the 63

[daftpunkluvr72]

i am so sorry! that was my little brother! he is like addicted to nascar and he uses curse words he doesnt even understand. sorry if he offended anyone. i need to start logging out so he cant use it.

[racebest00]

Those were some cool camera angles

[JoeytheHDK]

I remember professing my love for Jeremy Mayfield after this.

And NASCAR coverage doesn't need (or should have for that matter) an on-screen ticker and FoxTrax.

[nascarfanatic24]

Mayfield had a hard wreck later in that race. I'm glad he was okay.

[vidEvWill]

Jeremy did drugs...he's out of NASCAR indefinitely because he tested positive for amphetamines.

[nascarfanatic24]

WOW. I didn't think Jeremy was that kind of guy! He made the chase in its first two years, and won at Richmond and Michigan them years. Wait, wasn't he driving the #41 Toyota earlier this year?

[RSGVXStuntmanVx]

I know when I heard about it I was shocked

[vidEvWill]

No not at all.

[Temiree]

Why is it at 1:48 that half the seats in the upper deck of the stands are vacant?

[jrfan07]

i think they were adding more seats to the upper levels and that section wasnt finished yet.

[pcm61774]

Yeah, it was called the Winston Tower when it was built. Now it's the Sprint Tower, I believe.

[ghostfan84]

That was some good driver for everybody not to wreck behind feffy when he got hit by mayfuck.

[crbassassin]

fucking mayfield

[XC0688]

they call jeff a hooiser but they also call him a california native.... pick one jeff dont be greedy

[Randildo]

Man that 3 car looks so friggin AWESOME! Best looking car in nascar history.

[Showstopper42]

Great clip of that race. The coverage was so cool back then, and Ken Squier doing the commentating was always perfect for the 500.

[gth804f]

Squier wasn't always with the program...

[Showstopper42]

no kidding... I'm just saying that when he called the action his voice added a lot to what was actually happening. He had natural talent for his profession.

[NAVGFan]

I had always wanted to see some coverage of races from 1996. That was a good year in racing.

[BengtsonJ]

All thats missing is an on-screen ticker and FOXTrax. That would make this the best NASCAR coverage seen

[lostfreakadam]

Yep.

Cannot top those awesome camera angles from this video though.

[TPM75108]

I don't think Gordon's hit was as hard as Nemechek's hit.

[itsalleternal]

Gordon's lucky he didn't spin down and cause the Big One...

[BEJAN92]

thanks for posting this thats what happen to gordon in 96

[trouble192]

So that is what happend to Gordon in the 1996 Daytona 500.I always wandered what happened. He took a hit.

[Randildo]

i remeber my entire house going crazy when he wrecked. that was crazy. my family didnt care much for jeff lol
