Couple that with Bob Jenkins opening up the broadcast.

I agree

For some reason I looked at some old pics of bristol from the early 90s and it looked kinda bigger than it does today.

I agree it will never be the old Bristol anymore. But, the racing is pretty darn good at Bristol now. I will always miss this type of racing. However, I also do enjoy the side by side of today’s racing at Bristol. Great racing between Rusty and Mark. The good ol days.

Hell yeah your absolutely right

Too bad the video quality wasn't better

I agree that this was when the racing was at its best. No doubt. Great drivers with characters However, technology has come along way since 93. Of course the cars are easier to drive now. Therefore, the drivers are not as wooped. The drivers are also in better shape now as well. I will always miss the old Bristol. But, do greatly enjoy the action of today’s Bristol. It’s the best racing of the year. I think the stages are a great idea too. My one complaint is that the caution periods take to long.

And I still watch greatest Nascar races I am a Nascar fan

Agreed, looks like the camera car is smaller than the outside car, but that perspective is due to the banking. Camera shots were spot on in those days.

if you noticed, mark martin was 2 laps down and came back to win this race. he passed rusty twice on the track. that will never happen again.

The cars and tracks of the 90's required the drivers to be real wheelmen. Nowadays the drivers are little weaklings that can't even go 500 miles, or 500 laps in the case of Bristol, without several stage breaks. The Chase and progressive banking was bad enough but the stages put it over the top for me and I lost interest after 20 years.

@@DCTib I'm not sure you can blame the drivers. I think the sanctioning body has tried to stay relevant over the years and violated the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it." The driver demographic has definitely changed, more guys from out west and less southern and midwestern guys. I honestly think if NASCAR would lose the schticks (stages, lucky dogs, chase) and just let the race unfold naturally it would be a better show. Also, they need to reassemble the ESPN crew from the 90s to air all the races. Those guys made the racing enjoyable and exciting to watch as well.

@@DCTib can you imagine drivers today trying to run on bias ply tires??

@@DCTib another person with the "NASCAR made changes so I'm blaming the drivers" mentality

I was at this race. Heard rumors beforehand that Ernie was going to wreck on purpose and ... low and behold.

Fondle it~

yes

He wrecked on purpose to get out of his contract with Morgan McClure so he could drive the 28 car

I watch everything foo

When Bruton Smith bought it, it became Bristol Motor Speedway.

​@@james_johnsonIIyep. In 1997 I believe. Then, Bruton Smith expanded the capacity to 153,000

I think this was the last time that DW used the multiple identity Owner/Driver skit.

I couldn't understand a word the owner said lol

He said I practically heard all the accuses I can hear. I heard them all this year!

Clown !!! Short Track Racing is the roots of the sport and more of it needed

I don't.
