Amen! I keep re-watching those. The Pepsi 400 2001 I think it was. He dominated that race. Had an MLB All Star Baseball Budwiser like paint scheme. It was sweet. Never forgot those moment. He was so much faster then everyone else that race. He could pass folks easily by himself, but no one could pass him if he was in the lead. Not even with help. The good old days. Feels like Nascar lately just flat out have too many new rules.

2001 must be a worst hear for fans Dale sr death and 911 attacks

That 2001 Pepsi 400 is the greatest race in the sport’s history.

He’s in the HOF now

All be it he had wins in weird and cliche moments, it was Gordon who kept the sport going, not Earnhardt Jr.

Charles Russell Weird tiny sunglasses...

Breaks my heart

​@@xdude2xstill tons of sponsors, fans are coming back, old tracks coming back NASCAR is back!

Yes it was a rough year losing dale dale sr then 9/11

No. 1994 was

Especially since I was born in 2001.

18 February 2001 dale Earnhardt crashes with Ken Schrader and in 290 kmh crashes to the wall and fatal crashes 9 September 2001 in New York was 4 explosives

Armondo Ortiz we don't get them like that anymore at Dover, it's really a shame

Mr. Mojo Risin a fuckin men

@Joseph Kennedy The cars themselves were fine, it was the lack of safety equipment for the driver like the HANS device and the lack of SAFER barriers that made races back then dangerous. If SAFER barriers were in use back then and the HANS device and other such measures had been mandatory by rule rather than just encouraged, Dale SR wouldve had a much better chance of walking away from the Daytona crash. That being said, I would love to see a revival of the Gen 4 cars that have a bunch of the modern safety systems built in to make them safer than the old ones. I think the racing would improve if they used the older cars, especially at the medium and smaller tracks. Bristol used to be a lot of fun to watch.

They were awesome

I ONLY LOVE IN GEN 4 IS FORD TAURUS

@Joseph Kennedy Doubt thats the reason, F1 cars have gotten much safer while still being insanely thin and basically form fitting someones body.

lol

Can you upload a video of it

You stole it?

Nathaniel Higgerson no the teams often sell them

Mate you need to prove it if your lieing it is pretty f**kin stupid

@@D5KZfaq not anymore...

Nothing Here Ikr. Wonder where he is now.

Steve Park was not driving that Chevy #1 during this race, it was Kenny Wallace. Park got sick in an earlier race (2001 Darlington 500) and didn't jump in until 2002's Darlington 400-mile race.

I miss the Kodak car, no matter who was driving it. That had some cool schemes

+Diego Ruiz Got sick? HE NEARLY DIED!

Are comments like this considered spam now?

Make NASCAR great again

Swear to god +crystaljon this shit is the worst part of the sport. This is what drives people away. Its bitch, moaning, and complaining.

Uhg its true that nascar is dying and the races are becoming boring. Look at what happened in talladega. The aeropackages just get worse and worse for super speedways

Because this was when Bill Jr still ran NASCAR, before Brian ruined it.

Soylent Green Nice

I also was the race I was 17years old

I'm a Dale Jr fan too and I was lucky enough to see him win in person too 2014 Daytona 500

@RC RACER 88, I agree his Dover win is still amongst my top 5 favorite Dale Jr wins.

Mr. Slimmy Jimmy there’s decent crowds at most tracks when weather ain’t a factor. Except for Phoenix, the only way that place will sell out is if the grandstands only have 10 seats in them

MrMW2nd I love Gordon's flames car. Best paint scheme ever and the 2001 version stuck out the most more than any other year he had that paint scheme.

I like his rainbow car

I have been a NASCAR fan since 1995 and it was way better back between 95 and 06

cMaC Finally a comment from you that isn't completely fucked up.

2001 memorable? Dude, Jeff Gordon won by like 350 points (that is the difference between 1st and 43rd after 3 races). There were 7 races won from the front row, 12 races with under 15 lead changes, 7,4 cautions per race (12 races had 10 or more cautions)... You fuckers should go check out the races, almost all of them are on KZfaq with decent quality. A lot are absolute snoozefests (the difference between 1st and 20th was a lot bigger back then, it's almost funny to see a top driver come back after an early problem, the backmarkers look like they are in a different class of car) and then you have a few races that you could confuse with modern races. Racing wasn't better, go watch those races, they weren't amazing.

Attenshun deafizit dezodor.

2001 is my favorite NASCAR season all time. I agree.

2001 was my favorite season in terms of the on track product.

Oh great. Another homophobe.

You do realize the country of Iraq didn't do 9/11, Al Qaeda did, right?

Wrong flag lmaaao

merlotpapi that's not even the flag of Iraq ahahahahaha

lmaaaao ahahahahaha that makes this person look even dumber because its Iran

Iraq didn't do 9/11 Bush did

Kenny Powers also had a broken seat belt

@@M1lesJames and Sr is still way better than Jimmie Johnson and jeff Gordon combined

The angle in which Earnhardt hit the wall, broken seat belt, lack of head and neck restraints. It was just the man's day to leave this earth. Helmet had little to do with it.

Kenny Powers actually they said had dale sr wore a closed face helmet he would’ve survived the open face helmet allowed his face to slam into the steering wheel He died of basical skull fracture

RC RACER 88 Gordon and Jimmie are better

Shrimp Nuggets Jr. Not exactly. The New Hampshire race was supposed to run the weekend after 9/11 but NASCAR postponed the race til the end of the season. The Friday after Thanksgiving.

Oh.

Thanks for the help though.

Not particularly indy, just racing in general.
