2000 Winston 500: Starting Lineup

[HarvestmanMan]

2:05 Did Dan Pardus drive the #50 part-time that year?

2:09 Did Rich Bickle share the #60 with Todd Bodine?

[66hourenergy]

@HarvestmanMan Pardus was in the 50 the year before. Geoff Bodine drove the 60 in 2000, this race was after he was fired. Todd never drove it.

haha that fucker kenseth as a rookie

[HTFFuturamaFan]

The scheduled car was the #6 Zerex Ford for the race. But wasn't it at the last second Martin climed in to the #6 Valvoline Ford until his Zerex Ford had the repairs made? That's my question.

[gokyle45]

Row 10 brought a tear to my eye

[setoguchifan16]

RIP Bobby and Dale

[HTFFuturamaFan]

Why is Mark Martin driving 2 cars in the race.

[JRracing0116]

wth r u talking about?

[dgwbigd]

haha wow. second round qualifying! kinda miss those days.

[packertown]

does anybody have an .mp3 of the background music during the starting grid?? its awesome but hard to find, i know

[quickman55]

Didn't Blaise Alexander die in an arca race?

[SKracing]

Yes, in 2001.

[quickman55]

Thanks.

[HarvestmanMan]

Why was Steve Grissom subbing for Kyle Petty?

[jonh31pk]

Kyle decided to run the Busch Series to honor his son Adam.

[THEkingjaymz]

Where was Jenkins for this? What I would do to see BP and Jenkins commentating the races again. RIP BP

[RazorRC3]

you know if they only showed the introduction like this like they use to, then i wouldn't have a problem figuring out who's who and driving what...at least here you can see driver, car, speed, and brand! I remember even when the older ESPN telecasts they actually showed back grounds say like an old ford to the new ford tbird, an ol chevy to a new monte carlo..etc. ESPN was great then but now it's mediocre, and do miss John Kernan, Benny Parson, Ned Jarrett, and Bob Jenkins.

[mustang6172]

Medicore? That's more credit than they deserve. If I have to hear another explanation on broken valves I just might kill someone.

[meatmarket]

This was my favorite music ever used for the starting lineup.

[O5fan]

There are like 3 or 4 guys driving the same car now as they did back then.  Wow.

[StewieGriffin1985]

oh. I get it. R.I.P. Adam Petty

[StewieGriffin1985]

why is Steve Grissom driving the #44 Hot Wheels car of Kyle Petty?

[SKracing]

Kyle opted to step down from the ride in August to devote his attention to the Busch Series, where he finished the season in the #45 Sprint Pontiac in son Adam's memory. Grissom was the driver for Petty Enterprises' Craftsman Truck team at the time, and so Kyle chose him to finish the year in the Hot Wheels car.

[jmoney11]

was this Chad Little's last session race

[SKracing]

Yeah, this was Little's last race in the #97 John Deere Ford. Jack Roush opted to put Kurt Busch in the car beginning with the fall Dover race in September, but kept the more experienced Little under contract to drive at Talladega.

Chad ran the full Busch season in '01 and made one final Cup start at Dover in 2002 (for BACE Motorsports) before retiring.

[Nascar93fan]

will they bring bob back? they should. i have never heard him do nascar races except on youtube.

[SKracing]

Bob Jenkins retired from professional announcing; last I heard, he was a broadcasting professor at a small religious college in Indiana.

[Fitch93]

Bob Jenkins does Teach Broadcasting at Indiana Wesleyan. but he also Works for Speed and the IMS Radio Network.

[Nascar93fan]

they should bring bob back! I like Jerry, though.

[ups1976]

I was at this race. I sure miss the good ol days of the Winston Cup. Nascar has went Hollywood these days and is controlled by big business (kinda like our government).

[Ruddfan1997]

2000: When Espn's NASCAR coverage was actually good

[lostfreakadam]

Certainly.

They need to go back to doing races like this.

[mbahermie]

I love this music too!

[Mikey2448]

thanks for uploading these awesome vids.

[BEJAN92]

i love this music for the cup series

[meatmarket]

I loved this music too! I was really hoping they'd bring it back in 2007.

[rustyshackleford01]
