hearing "the rookie Matt Kenseth" or "the rookie Dale Earnhardt Jr." makes me smile :')

RIP Buddy Baker

Was watching this late at night and I fell asleep at some point. Mike Joy yelling "OH, TROUBLE!!!" at 1:41:40 woke me up immediately.

Ken Squire- best broadcaster ever

Sadly this would be Kenny Irwin Jr.'s last Cup race before his death at New Hampshire. His #42 car became the #01, then became owned by Chip Ganassi in 2001 and became the #41 in 2002.

So much nostalgia here. Nothing better than watching the summer Daytona race.

This is when NASCAR was worth watching, before Brian France got a hold of it.

This is how it should be. No mandatory yellows. Teams strategizing with each other. Strategized green flag pit stops. This is how it should always be. NASCAR needs someone in charge who really understands what the fans want. And it’s THIS.

I was sitting at the top of the Superstretch that night . I had a smile all night watching Big E.

I was at this race, 8 years old! Seats on the backstretch and John Michael Montgomery had a pre-race concert, what a time to be alive

I miss CBS, they covered NASCAR with class.

Coverage is suppose to provide the framework, the canvas, the atomosphere, but the event itself needs to paint the picture, that's the difference. That's what CBS did well, Ken Squier couldn't be a better example of that. Way too much overanalysis and meddling by the current crews, hell that's the problem with all media in general today.

Kenny Irwin's last NASCAR race

Gordon had absolutely no help at all in this race and still got a top 10

who knew that Micheal Waltrip, next time he would go back to Daytona, he would win the 500 while losing the man who gave him a break...

I remember how the mandated shock package that year really made the Fords shine at Daytona. Watching Earnhardt be the only Chevy driver able to really contend just goes to show how damn good he really was.

That crowd!!!!

18:09 Start

I miss this kind of racing 🏁

Something about the way CBS broadcast NASCAR, just made the sport seem better, it just added something extra to it, a special touch. Today, Fox, ESPN, and TNT have decent coverage, but nowhere near the glory days of CBS.

Kan Squier was that voice of God back then

"Preferred line right around the bottom" *digital car runs the middle groove*

@S2KINDYCAR Final Winston Cup race on CBS, their final broadcast was the Craftsman Truck Series from Nazareth July 15th, 2000.

The 2000 Pepsi 400 was the last NASCAR cup race to be broadcast on CBS.

Man i miss the way they used to sound, i miss when they actually had some HP i miss everything that NASCAR has destroyed.

Pontiac... One of the few respectable cars on the circuit back then.

Amazing to think that for all their success, this was the first ever points win at Daytona for Roush Racing.

This race needs more attention

I remember the grass on the track used to be brown grass and dirt. Now you can play golf on it.

That has to be the best virtual lap I've ever seen

RIP Buddy Baker Kenny Irwin Jr Bobby Hamilton Sr John Andretti

NASCAR in it's glory days. I don't care if I was 4 that year, I watched this race

I was at this race with my dad when I was 8 years old. We were both huge Bill Elliott fans. Really thought he was gonna win that night. We were sitting near turn 3, so we experienced Skinner dump him first hand. I was definitely not a happy camper after that lol.

I was there. Was 10 years old. Came all the way from Indy for it driving. Miss going to races when Nascar was at its peak with every race being a huge deal and sold out crowds everywhere with tracks still with all their stands before taking some down

In the intro they happened to say "and survive" as the camera shows turn 4. Scary in February of 2001 it was to come true

CBS should do some NASCAR races in Primetime including the Daytona night race

What a sound these cars used make..COT and Gen 6 sound tame in comparison.

Good Ol' Days!!!

2:19:33-2:19:49, "Jeff Burton won his first Sprint Cup race on CBS. He comes off turn 4 and he's gonna win the final Sprint Cup race on CBS. JEFF BURTON OVER RUSTY WALLACE, DALE JARRETT AND MARK MARTIN WINNING THE COKE ZERO 400!"

ok i love the opening to the race

hard to believe that this not only was the last race at daytona and period for cbs, but also one of the last races with good commentary and with earnhardt finishing at daytona before his unfortunate accident in the daytona 500 the next year

20 years ago today.

He's referring to two weeks prior to that, where he bumped Earnhardt out of the way at Pocono on the last lap to win. Was supposed to be taken as a joke.

I always remembered CBS having excellent NASCAR coverage

Much better than the Daytona 500 5 months earlier

I was at this race, sitting about 20 rows up from the start finish line. Would have been an interesting finish if not for the late caution. Dale and Dale were hooked up and running the field down. The late caution did them both in.

It's on my channel. Feel free to watch!

I love the look of Ned Jarrett in the introduction.

I like that CBS station in Los Angeles of Southern California.

I miss the 2000 NASCAR Gen 3 cars... especially during covid19.

Back when nascar racing was cool.

thanks man.

Thank you greatly for this! I've been wanting to see it for a long time!

Last Cup race on CBS, and the intro was some Survivor tie-in bullshit instead of a retrospective of their Cup coverage up to that night.

I really wish CBS and CBS Sports Network were calling races starting at Daytona with Speed Weeks and continuing through Sonoma, and then from there, NBC and NBC Sports Network called every race from the second Daytona race (Coke Zero 400) through Homestead. Better yet, I wish every network that has called races the last 35-40 years (CBS, The Nashville Network--though now it's called Spike TV--ESPN, ABC, NBC/NBC Sports Network, TBS, TNT, Fox/FS1, and FX) still had broadcast rights for at least a couple of races every season.

1:46:52 Buddy says you could hear Skinner get out of the gas and from about 1:46:49 until he finishes getting in the back of Bill he sounds like he's running 3 quarters of a throttle. Also, everybody's checking up there because Mark Martin's almost in the grass and Skinner just didn't get on the brake quickly enough

Survival NASCAR Edition. LOL

He had them beat. Skinner King of wrecking. Bill u had them

No one should complain about the racing at Daytona and Talladega today after watching the first 3 RP's of 2000.

The Hoosier Kenny Irwin Jr.’s last ride 😢

Back when NASCAR viewed more then just Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordan, and all them other top runners these days. GO BOBBY LABONTE!!

dale last full season :( 3 4ever

Brian France got ahold of it because he is the son of the chairman, he don't have any experience, he is so detached. I even hear he wanted to own some soccer teams, a hockey team and his name has even popped up as a bidder for an NFL team.

beautiful days

I couldn't believe how few people were there for this years Coke Zero 400

The last NASCAR race on CBS Rip ken squier

See I think what people miss isn’t the racing it’s how big of a race each week felt.

DIDN'T Jeff Burton dominate this race?!

When did the stay in line until the start/finish line rule start?

Final NASCAR race on CBS

Man, those Yates cars always ran GREAT at Daytona

That Mayfield comment aged poorly

Back when the world was normal. Pre 9/11 and pre COVID.

Since the COT, the exhaust has been out the right side of the car. Before they could have had exhaust on both sides or just the left side.

Yes, on ESPN it's a Danica check for a minute than a commercial break.

@ 22:20 Oh! I'm sorry, I got excited!

another historic race....blaney, martin, stewart, jeff burton, bobby labonte, kenseth, bliss (part time), dale jr, gordon, nemecheck, terry labonte (part time) and robby gordon are the only ones left running the cup series....what a shame...but we got some good names filling the rest of the fields today....it's just amazing that 11 years ago seemed like yesterday....they should alternate the 500 each year....FOX, ABC, and CBS

Bill Elliott might sound like just a happy good ol boy... yeah i dont think i wouldve fucked with him though

They couldn't put enough seats in these places when Big E was alive.

The last NASCAR race on CBS occurred not too long after Viacom bought the network.

This is a great Nascar race from 2000 at Daytona and I think that's terrible this was Kenny Irwin Jrs last race before his death

Holy shit, that pass by Stewart!

3:30 Dale Jarrett you wear the fire protection mask on the inside of your helmet buddy!

RIP Ken Squier

Its incredible how much fan attendance has gone down for these races. It looks like they are almost sold out for this race. Now a days they dont even open the back straight away stands for this race and the front stretch is only three quarters full. Its weird man,nascar is hurting.

@folzybear15 Also Kenny Irwin's last race. He died in practice less than a week later.

With today's rules, Ricky Rudd who started second would have been black flagged at the start for changing lanes before getting to the start / finish line!

Kenny Irwin Jrs last race RIP

I was sitting in the SUPERSTRETCH.

This racing was better without the stupid yellow line rule

If you pause @ 1:41:40 mark you can see why Bill had to get out of the gas. Mark's almost in the grass. I miss when you could pass under the yellow line

Jeff Burton's 13th Career NASCAR Winston Cup Series Victory 2:18:49 White Flag

haha the virtual lap

@UltimateEEnEFan You're welcome.

@ciccone39 that was Texas Governor George W. Bush, who later on became president of the U.S.

(dmetl) #486 - 317th race I've ever watched ... 117 on the net ... 82 that I enjoyed with a dip of tobacco ... 33 that I've watched in the month of November ... 5 that I've seen from the year y2k

I never saw Bill Elliott that mad

Anyone else here after the return of auto racing on CBS with SRX?

Mayfield must of been out there tweeking his brains out.

@marcofaria17 You're welcome.
