the video's frames-per-second are moving faster than the sound...in the actual broadcast, they said right when the tire went down. This video is moving faster than normal.
I hated that race!! I wanted Earnhardt to win that sucker so bad! Kirk Shelmerdine said at one time in that race they had a 40 second lead. My heart dropped when he blew that tire. Thank goodness for '98.
Mixed opinions...Luck has a lot to do with racing...If Cope had joined a better team with better equipment he might have won more races...He did win at Dover in 1990, too.
No one ever said he was talentless he just said he wont the most untaltend to win the Daytona 500. Cope can drive a car or he wouldnt have been in Cup, but he is not one of the grestest drivers... I like him yes, lucky yes, but hey he's a Daytona 500 champion, not alot of people can say that.
This was about the most frustrating race I've ever watched. Derrik Cope wins the Daytona 500. Yet, the master of Daytona and restrictor plate races all together, rolls snake eyes again.
I remember watching this live in 1990. I hated Earnhardt at the time, but Derrick Dope wasnt much better. It only took a good 5 seconds for Ken Squier and Ned to notice Earnhardt was a hundred feet behind Dope.
I like Days of Thunder. May not be accurate, but it is a good movie. I guess Talladega Nights isn't really an accurate movie in the terms of the sport, but it is funny as heck if you ask me.
I bet Dale was tee'd off when his car did that on him. It looked like he might've ran out of gas.

kinda like jr in the coke 600 but instead of a flat tire he ran out of fuel

Biggest upset in Daytona 500 history until today! Trevor Bayne wins 500 in second ever start!

That would suck to have a flat tire on the last lap.

I still CANNOT believe this. People don't talk about this as much as they should. Dale Sr. should have been a two time winner of the Daytona 500.
robmerrill888 1 year ago
@robmerrill888 More than that. Dale finished second fives times (most of any driver in history), plus this and 1994...

Are all of those Crew members jumping at the end? Then again its the end of the race. Might as well take off the gear.

What really happened that time was a cut tire. Another of these sceneraios of Daytona and Earnhardt...they just seem not to like each other.

You can't see this in the video, but behind Turn 3 there's a grassy knoll.

No, this from NASCAR classics, basically a 2 hour condnsed verson of every Daytona 500 CBS showed from 1979-2000. But I got this clip from a website.

Days of Thunder is plenty accurate. Understand the movie before you question it.
