1:49:55 Final Cup start for Melling Racing, which passed from Harry Melling to his son Mark after Harry's passing in 1999. Bill Elliott joined the team at its inception in 1982 and won all 34 of the team's victories before leaving for Junior Johnson's team in 1992.

Wow what an awesome race! They sure as hell don't happen like this anymore. How times change sadly.

I was there that day. Awesome run by the 88 team.

the second Pepsi 400 of the 2002 season

I grew up watching nascar and i miss dale jarrett I wish he race again or do a throwback for ups for dale jarrett

All three DEI cars plus Dale's old car in the first two rows in the starting grid, nice.

Crazy to see Biffle fail to qualify at Michigan, considering how good he would later become there.

Final time that Dale Jarrett won multiple races in his career

1:03:46 - 1:05:17 ... The best part of the race. Bill Elliott had a strong car in the beginning of the race, and the fact that the shifter kept getting knocked out when he was in gear, kept him from competing for the win. But the way Bill Elliott was able to drive that car with one hand, and PASS CARS to boot ... that was EXTREMELY impressive. Bill Elliott is one of the greatest EVER, and even though he finished 22nd (after restarting dead last after the problem occurred), this was one of his most impressive runs ever.

Boy do I miss seeing that UPS Ford on the track.

This was the first NASCAR race I went to Thanks for uploading this!

Maybe the real Pepsi 400 are the friends we made along the way

2002 Pepsi 400 presented by Farmer Jack Location: Brooklyn, Michigan Track: Michigan International Speedway Type of race track: Superspeedway Starting cars: 43 Finishing cars: 37 Laps: 200 Cautions: 7 Pole Winner: Dale Earnhardt Jr. (8) Most laps led: Kevin Harvick (29) (42 laps led) Race Winner: Dale Jarrett (88)

I was at this race.... ironically, Dale Jarrett was my main driver (followed.by Terry Labonte and Waltrip). Of course, we all know the big rival is Jr and Gordon. THere were two girls sitting in front of us going back and forth as one was a Jr fan and the other was a Gordon fan. This was early on ...maybe even before the race started. I interjected and said, “you are BOTH smoking crack, because MY man is going to win”...LOL. TURN 4 wipeout, wasn’t looking good and then the main man pulled through!!!

Awesome race to watch ty

A great race, where DJ spun early and came back to win. Gotta love Michigan.

The top 7 drivers separated by just 150 points with 14 races left. The closest points battle ever with 14 races left. Shame that this was the second to last year before they started that stupid Chase crap.

Dale Jarrett won at Michigan three times on August 18

loved the 2002 season

Now it certainly is! Back in 2002, Texas Motor Speedway was the fastest track.

15:38 to 19:52 and as of 2015 (13 years later) it still hasn't improved and actually it's gotten worse. Hopefully the low downforce package in 2016 is a big step in improvement.

Ryan Newman really could have won the championship if Rodger Penske didn't keep giving Newman trash engines. I been a fan since 1999 and I saw the entire 2002 season and Newman was a top three speed car on the most consistent basis. Even with his numerous dnfs due to engine or mechanical he still managed the second most top 5s all season and had the MOST top 10s more than anyone all year lmao. Penske failed his only chance to win a title with a rookie cup driver. Even deep in the season Newman with less than 10 races to go was 4th in points literally within striking distance of taking the points lead. As epic as Newman's rookie year was he underachieved mainly thanks to his engine department because Newman did his job. He should have won at least 3 races with how fast he was all year.

What in hell is a bongy cord, Wally? Usually, Benny would have made fun of him for such a gaff. Maybe he didn’t hear him.

Stacy Compton returns to 92 for last time.

Nascar Thunder 2004 Challenge Dale Jarrett 88 UPS Truck Spin Cycle 40:40-42:07

Look at the crowd. Miss Nascar from the early to mid 2000s so much. Now those stands in the turns aren't even there

Great prerace segment about aero push. Back when the broadcasts weren't PC or agenda-driven; they just talked about what's happening in the sport.

how about that crowd

A shmorgasboard of strategy

1:41:49 Aflac! Lmao jk not till 2003

When cars were cars and you KNEW who drove what. What happened to the easy-to-recognize paint schemes- UPS, Viagra, Dodge, Tide? Nowadays, it's too many black cars or insert-sponsor here. Take the winner, Dale Jarrett- as much as I loved the Quality Care ford, I miss a unique looking car like UPS nowadays. We want to race the truck!

Wow, Steve Park still couldn't talk very well.

NASCAR TV productions were sooooo much better back then. It's complete shit now.

4:00 it's a miracle he didn't kill any1 or himself. He was not fit to be on a NASCAR track, AT ALL!

This was Jr's problem so many races... He would have the best car for most of the race then those last 10-20 laps its like his car would fall off while the others would get stronger... Jr. was always great to start runs & the longer they go green he becomes a worse driver... Some guys become stronger the longer a green run goes... Jr. was never one of those drivers
