I was at this race. Despite passing Earnhardt on the penultimate lap, not a single Jr. fan was upset that Labonte won that race.

Dale wacked that wall hard as hell in that second hit. Damn!

Jeff Gordon retook the points lead after this race & held it for the rest of the season

1:04:58 they actually showed a replay of the kid falling. “We know drama” I was about the age of those kids when this was live. I miss the old NASCAR. But hoping to get back into it

2:59:13 what happened to Benson there right after the finish? Looks like he may have run out of gas and was trying to spin into the pit lane exit!

Whos here after the DJD story?

Dale Jarrett's season, and more or less his career, took a downward spiral starting with this race. Gets booted out of line on the restart and then got caught in the mess a lap later.

This race was s challenge on NASCAR Thunder 2003

I can tell Dave W owns an Insignia VCR.

If a few things go his way Jeff Gordon wins both Pocono races in 2001. A few things go his way Jeff Gordon actually wins 13 races in 2001 instead of 6. Not even joking I saw this entire season that's how lights out Jeff Gordon was in 01.

I love this track & I really wanted Jr. to win this one

Good race at Pocono ty

What the hell happened to Johnny Benson crossing the line on the last lap? Spun in the middle of the front straight lol

Despite this being a fuel mileage race, this race ending was awesome! THIS is how true racing is supposed to be... & among 2 popular good guys on top of that! In addition, My top 2 guys & their race for fourth! :D

9:36 Mike Wallace #7 Joe Nemecheck #33 Brett Bodine #11 Jimmy Spencer #26 Todd Bodine #66 Jeremy Mayfield #12 Ron Hornaday #14 Jason Leffer #01 Elliott Sadler #21

Everytime there is a crash on lap 3, I think its the spirit of Earnhardt messing with NASCAR.

Was at this race. My dad surprised me with tickets for passing summer school 😊

So if the Pikes Peak Busch Race got rained out. And Kevin Harvick stayed for that race. Wally Dallenbach would have driven the #3 (29) car.

My mom and her ex bf Corey we're at this race sitting by the start/finish line. Not to mention the fact that they met Ward, Kurt Bush and Bobby in the infield before the race started.

DJ lost the Championship with this accident right here, many believe. The 88 team would never regain the Championship contenting momentium.

damn I'm glad Pocono went from 500 miles too 400

Wow remember being a kid and Nascar back then was must watch television Borderline unwatchable now =(

Hey Dave W., Did you switch back and fourth between this race and a different race.

2:09:04 The Small One. 2:33:24 You picked a fine time to leave me a loose wheel.

Everybody knows what happened the following week.

1:04:55 kid gets his shit wrecked

It's crazy how much better the racing was when guys were running different strategies and could get away from each other and when it felt more like endurance racing. All the artificial "excitement" they've built into the sport in the past 20 years is so boring.
