2002 Aaron's 499 Crash at Talladega LIVE

Thanks to ap0c for this capture. 20 cars are taken out as Kyle Petty got out of the draft and the rest of the field shuffled to try to avoid him. Call by Mike Joy, Larry McReynolds, and Darrell Waltrip

Wow...racing back to the line was actually pretty insane and very unsafe.

[ACDCsuperfan91]

i miss the early 2000s for 3 reasons:

1) no chase

2) ESPN wasn't broadcasting

3) NO JIMMIE JOHNSON :D

@ACDCsuperfan91 but Jimmie was in that race, but no championships, so he was only a driver at the time.

why doesnt it suprise me that kyle petty was the cause of this wreck

[fetch1998]

@bobalose3and88 I'm playing that challenge right now

[cpcomedy314]

@ACDCsuperfan91 Lol, it's funny because you can clearly see Jimmie Johnson at 0:52 in the same line as Dale Jarrett.

[flyersfan4888]

Wow, even back in '02, Elliott Sadler always seemed to take the hardest hit in a wreck.

[LostHighwayFilms]

Can somebody explain how NASCAR uses scoring loop monitors around the track now since they don't race back to the flag?

@ACDCsuperfan91 @ number 3. Dale earnhardt . too

[bobalose3and88]

this wreck was a lightning challenge in nascar thunder 2003 (u had 2 get through the wreck as mike skinner)

[bobalose3and88]

@epicfail2929 there have been real big ones in the last two coke zero 400's (2011 and 2010) but i do agree there haven't been as many wrecks and cautions recently, especially at the superspeedways and 1.5 mile tracks. as for the nns races... there are usually about 3 cautions every race (2 for debris, 1 for someone's flat tire or steven wallace wrecking)

[nothinrunslikeadeer2]

@epicfail2929 still is. there was 2 at the 400 this year
