Am I the only one that thinks nascar should post more retro clips like this, maybe even full races from this time?

Remember when nascar cup racing could fill the stands at every track?

We need a gen 7 that has a gen 6 body but gen 4 type of racing

Back then when bump and run was a thing.

I miss this NASCAR.

Now THIS is NASCAR

Im so blessed to have been growing up during the era in nascar!!! I was 11 watching this with my dad and it was the best times

I was at this race. My first time at Bristol. On TV you don't see a fraction of what goes on there. There is always someone about to wreck. And man it was cold that day. Hot chocolate replaced beer. The biggest cheer of the day is when the sun popped out for about 30 seconds.

Jeff did the exact samething in 2002

Man, they don't race like this anymore. The cars are so much more picky these days.

the funny thing is, this race is said recently by Rusty to be the start of the "bump and run era". If you watch close, Jeff doesnt hit him hard (if not at all). Rusty chases the car up the corner in 3. Jeff barely touches him. Yet in 2002, Jeff crunches the plastic bumper cover doing the same. This one was on Rusty. 2002 is on Jeff!

The bump and run, as seen here, can sometimes be a beautifully effective way to win a race.

Jeff Gordon was my favorite when I was a young kid

So memories!! I remember watching this race at my senior highschool year in my home in Chile. Those cars, i can remember all the drivers names of that year. Amazing. Thanks the upload

that’s real racing. lot of rivals. fire in them. racing for every position, no matter what. they have passion for racing.. now it’s all about impressing their sponsors and no fire in them or they’ll get fined. all they worried about money. i stopped watch nascar years ago.... good memories back in the day. Jeff did same to rusty on next bristol night racing. man.. this wasn’t once. but twice.

Rusty is a good sport, he knows that it's part of racing

Great racing with two CLASS drivers!

THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES JEFF.

My Son and I were at this race. 21 years ago? Wow.

If drivers did this now fans would be whining. Chicagoland 2018 is a perfect example

This should've been a full race. I want to see more full classic NASCAR races on this channel.

That smokin Joe camel Jimmy Spencer car tho?! Takes me back!

Gordon was toying with the field.

Gordon is the 🐐

That was an Earnhardt move if I've ever seen one.

Someone needs to show this clip to Martin Truex.

mid 90's nascar was the best nascar

Earnhart Sr trick. Very nice

NASCAR needs more short tracks and road courses.

2:27 hehe Earnhardt

"he didn't hit you; he rubbed you"

Mark nose was beat up and still was able to pass we need more of that

One of only two last lap passes made by Jeff Gordon.

wow i thought Jeff only did that to Rusty in 2002. Excellent clip.

That's what you have to love about Rusty. No excuses, no bitching and moaning, just calling it how it was. A true Champion

When Bristol was good.

Back before they ruined Bristol.

Thanks NASCAR!

I was there😀! This the real Bristol⚡️❤️! 2 lanes and Flat out running at over 128 mph. As a Gordon Fan this was awesome 👍❤️

Do that now, youre fined 1.5million dollars, suspended 20 races, and you get punched in the face, and called a bad driver.

This was real NASCAR. Peak of the sport.

That under the frame camera is pretty cool. Was that a one off? Because I've never seen them use it.

Look at all that front end suspension travel from the rear bumper camera of Rusty’s car.

3:16, look how much the catchfence fell apart. Lol

Dang he done ole Rusty like this twice, again in 2002 Bristol

That was some good racing

I Once Knew A Teacher At My School Named Rusty Gordon

Cars bouncing around with actual suspension travel, no side skirts and Mark Martin with a bowed up hood still making passes and running up front. I want to see this kind of thing back.

I miss old Bristol!!!

I still miss Brooke and Jeff together in victory lane... they were a great couple (at least on TV)

Now thats racing

Damn what a move

Look at that crowd!!! Forgot NASCAR use to sell out every race...

Get. Up. Out. My. Way.

Watch them be like restrictor plates at Bristol next year 😂😂😂😂

Yeah the cars had a ride height rule so they weren't slammed to the grown there for making the cars bounce around......great racing

Cool

Classic Jimmy Spencer ha

When racing was racing

3:31 he clearly saw the cars movie 20 years before it happened

My kind of move

How did NASCAR get the quality so good for this video?

try watching this race uploaded from other youtubers at this quality

Doesn't this very thing happen again in 2005?

I was so pissed this day...sad to see grandstands these days die-hard rusty2 and Kyle 18

Back when rainbows were just rainbows

Love that rusty wasn’t crying about the numb and run. Kyle bush would have thru a fit and wrecked the 24 after the race and the next 3

When racing was real!!! Classic response from the drivers as well...

Remember when drivers didn’t whine and complain about real racing? This is it

Oh Brooke Gordon standing by Jeff's side... they were a good couple! Too bad that didn't work out. Anyway the good ole days of NASCAR with real racing... glad I got to see those in my youth because they are long gone now. Thank "Bubba Smollett" Wallace for some of that and his modern day social justice 'woke'ism... its a complete joke!

Gordon the punk
