More than likely the biggest upset EVER in the history of the Daytona 500. Earnhardt blows his tire going into 3 on the final lap giving the win to Derrike Cope. Ken Squire, Ned Jarrett and Chris Economacki with the call for CBS

I was three years old when this race was run, and I was asked to predict the winner. My family was stunned that I simply said "Number 10," and would not be dissuaded. They knew Cope didn't have a chance, and wanted me to at least choose a driver with better odds. I refused to change my choice, no matter what. They were absolutely blown away when I turned out to be right. Thanks for the video!

He was the best driver available for that seat? NASCAR sucks hard these days. Best driver in the field is Larson and it's not even close for second and where all missing out on his talents shining due to cars, teams and NASCAR been all about BS and nothing about racing. Larson just put on one of the greatest single year dirt track seasons I have had the privilege to witness and I hope he gets another ban ASAP

@mattkowal905 жыл бұрын
I actually found out that the engine underneath Cope's car was a Hendrick engine from the late Randy Dorton. Bob Whitcomb's #10 had the same powerhouse under his hood as Ricky Rudd, Darrell Waltrip, Ken Schrader, Hut Stricklin (the 68 was a loaned Hendrick car), and of course the Days of Thunder cars which were built by Hendrick Motorsports.
@Juicebox71417 жыл бұрын
Earnhardt had led 155 laps and built up a 27 second lead on the field until a late race caution for a spin by Geoff Bodine set up this shootout. Dale ran over a piece of bell housing from Rick Wilson's car on the backstretch, costing him the victory.

If you notice in the last 4 laps after Earnhardt took the lead back on lap 196, Cope kept up with him until the center of the corner and then would push up on corner exit. Give me your honest opinion: Since Cope was keeping up with Earnhardt, do you think that if Dale didn't have the cut tire, Dale would still have won the race? I'm hoping the opinion matches mine as absolutely, if Earnhardt had not cut the tire, Dale would have won the 1990 Daytona 500.
@dylanwatson12872 жыл бұрын
Yes he would have won all the way. No freaking way Cope could've passed him and won singlehandedly if he tried to. He could of course run with Earnhardt for about five to ten laps and then the 3 car was gone way ahead everyone the whole race except through the cycle of green flag pit stops.
