Episode 10.5 - The Nextel Open

Күн бұрын

On the night of May 22, 2004, eight “field fillers” complete the 25-car grid for the Nextel Open, the 30-lap qualifying race for the 20th renewal of the newly rebranded NASCAR Nextel All-Star Challenge. At the time, the likes of Morgan Shepherd, Kirk Shelmerdine, and Andy Hillenburg aren’t considered serious threats for the win - or even winning a vote from the fans. But racing is an unpredictable sport, and the list of contenders can change in an instant.

Oh my gosh, that story about the Andy’s racing for a pizza and hiding Gary Nelson’s truck behind tires is absolutely hilarious 😂

"We're racing for a pizza and none of that other shit mattered" If that doesn't sum up what racing SHOULD be about, I don't know what does.

Really good episode. How NASCAR/FOX/NBC hasn’t caught on to your talents and offered you a position with them doing more retro based content is beyond me.

There were two bits of irony surrounding Spencer and the #4 in that crash. At the start, he got dumped by the car that stole Kodak from Morgan McClure, and at the end, he got backed into by the very #41 he got released from after 2002.

Thinking about who I’d have chosen as a kid: Baker, Marcis, both Parsons, both Pettys, Ruttman, Shepherd, Schraeder, Speed, Wallace. Then I’d probably just check Joe Ruttman, Lake Speed, and Dave Marcis an extra time each.

I was at that race sitting at the exit of turn 2. I was 16 and hadn't been to a Cup race since 1990 when Dick Trickle won the open. I had fallen out of watching racing for about 6 years at that point but this was the race that reignited the flame for me.

I never knew about the 85’ open and im kinda stunned i didnt. Good thing i didnt, they would have ended up with Bobby Wawak winning the vote in a landslide if i did 😂. Not buying Bobby Hillin getting in legitimately. Having said THAT back THEN i would have went with WAWAK, WALLACE, SPEED,SHEPPARD,RUTTMAN,PHIL PARSONS, BENNY PARSONS,MCDUFFIE,MARCIS,BOUCHARD,ARRINGTON,SCHRAEDER,BAKER, ELLIS. NOW id switch Wallace for Alexander or Means. Any way you slice it BENNY WINS

Hey, Brock... Since this came out before 10, and hints at #10 at the end, shouldn't this episode be 9.5 instead of 10.5?... Obviously it's too late to change anything, but I thought I'd point that out

@LASTCARonBROCK Жыл бұрын

Actually my thinking was the opposite. This episode was intended to come out after Episode 10 (No. 94) but before Episode 11 (No. 98), thus 10.5. I'm working on 11, but I haven't entirely given up on 10 yet.
