"And he'll cross the start/finish line, unofficially, upside-down in 18th position...on fire."

I miss this NASCAR. This was my childhood.

The guys have tremendous driving skill. It is really amazing how close they drive to each other at 190 mph. So much respect for them.

"Have you ever, no I've ever"! Greatest quote I've heard all year!

i dont understand why people hate the fox coverage. just listen to larry mac and dw's energy

I'm from Europe so we just basically watch a lot of F1, WRC, and other classes. Then the highlights of Indycar on KZfaq (or when we are lucky live indycar races like the 500). Nascar was pretty much off the radar here, and it's gaining a lot of popularity. But why is everybody fighting at each other about which class is better (nascar vs. indycar)? Be grateful you've got two amazing racing classes in northern america, which are totally different but still great.

“The legend, the runner-up, and the rookie! 3 cars! 1 champion!”

3:07 he got better each time he did one

Wow, that Ricky Craven win. That's "Pontiac Excitement" right there!

I don't care what anyone says, hands down the best racer of all time is ricky bobby. So inspirational.

9:10 hearing the almighty v8 beast unleashing its beastly victory roar..

As of Harvick being my favorite driver... I can say I am proud of him for beating the badass Jeff Gordon for his first win!

Nobody will ever replace the late great Dale Earnhardt

Notice how full the stands are compared to now. Lmao. It's sad.

"Have you ever?" "No I've never"

I want to go watch some fucking NASCAR after this. Those were some exciting races

I remember that 2009 talledega race like it was yesterday. Also probably my earliest Nascar memory and sports memory. I watched that right here in the room I'm sitting in now.

I love NASCAR

I wonder how often Dave Blaney thinks, "Dammit, if only Kurt and Ricky had done that coming to the white flag, not the checkered flag. I'd have a Cup win."

This was a nice thing to show during that rain delay at Talladega last year and it got me pumped for when they went back racing.

they got it right with #1. Best finish ever.

It was the epitome of Rubin's Racin'. Knew that would be #1 without even watching this. Even Kurt Busch went to victory lane to congratulate Craven and would probably tell you it was the most fun he has ever had in a race car.

They should bring back rockingham.

They got #1 right that was WILD

Johnson pulled the exact same move in the '05 coke 600 that Carl Edwards had pulled on him to win the Atlanta race earlier in the year.

-Have you ever? -NO, I HAVE NEVER!! Those lines never get old!

#2 still have no idea why Jeff didn't go to the apron to block Jimmie.

I don't understand all those ppl who say NASCAR sucks or its boring. U just don't know anything about the sport! Most of them didn't saw a race, or even know that they race not only at daytona! If u don't understand NASCAR u shouldn't watch motorsport! If u think its easy, try a lap with a 850bhp gen6 car on a short oval! Every kind of Motorsport is awesome and exicting! F1, LMP, GT, Indycar, NASCAR, Rally, Trucks, ... Even drag-racing is exciting! U only need to understand the sport! Looks like this "easy" sport is to complicated for some ppl!

6:55 look at the left and wait a bit.

The only people I know of that have survived the injury that killed Earnhardt are Ernie Irvan after his 1994 Michigan race and Stanley Smith in 1993 after his Talladega wreck.

The situation on 6:10 is like Chick hicks vs King

Little did they know, later on that day, that would have one of the best finishes at Tallagdega with teammates David Ragan and David Guililand pushing their way to the front on the final lap to finish 1 and 2

THANK GOODNESS for a video like this to get me through sittin' in the waiting area at the DMV! 🏁🚗🚗🚗

I never watched NASCAR on tv but i played nascar 2005 chase for the cup so much as an 8 year old that it feels like I never missed anything 😂😭 its the only reason i still remember most of their names and the cars they drove. It felt really nostalgic watching this, especially the ones from around 2005 because it reminded me of the awesome car models from that time, the familiar names, and all the laps i had driven (theoretically) myself 😂 I even have a small collection of 1/64th scales from that time too... NASCAR seemed to be pretty big back then, I wonder how its doing now. Either way, I am glad I had some NASCAR in my childhood 🏆 I gotta try out another game sometime 🏁

I hate how people say another left turn, oh another left turn, and another left turn. how about you get in a car that goes over 200 MPH and is like 130 degrees inside for 4-5 hours at a place like Bristol I have, i race late models it's actually hard

1 of the best NASCAR "Best Finishes" videos on KZfaq! Amazing!

"Have you ever ...- NO I've never ..." *gg*

That Darlington race was excellent from start to finish! Best race I've ever seen. Gotta go there!

Can't believe you left out the insane 2012 finish at the Glen.

“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.” Ernest Hemingway.

The win of 32 is AMAZING!!!!!

15:32 LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE CRAVEN PUTS. YOU CAN SEE THE AMBITION

My favorite part of every clip is “HE GOT IT!!!”

That craven Busch finish was absolutely epic

DW's one of my favorite sports commentators of all time. He cracks me up, what a card.

4:22 Kenseth did WHAT to Kasey Kahne?!?!

#4 should be #1. They left out the entire 10-15 laps before that when 5 cars were under a blanket battling for the lead. I was there and everyone in the stands was cheering the final 15 laps, just deliriously enjoying the racing in front of them. Then when Harvick won it continued for half an hour after the race. The best racing moment I've ever witnessed, and I'm a Jeff Gordon fan.

Ricky Craven’s Tide Car sure cleaned out the Rubbermaid. 😂😂

2016 Daytona 500 should be on the next list

#1 was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Best finish ever!!

I’ll never understand and always be hurt by Carl leaving. I was just getting into racing and liked Jimmie some going into that 2005 Atlanta race, I left that race a lifelong Carl Edwards fan. NASCAR isn’t the same without him

Who’s here after Atlanta 2024

I now realized that this was just alternate programming used when the 2013 Aaron's 499 was delayed by Rain.

Great video

Put a nearly 2 ton piece of metal into any fence and see how well it holds up. Also it wasn't the car that kill Earnhardt it was the lack of a head and neck restrain which allowed his head to snap forward and basically internally decapitate him. Several drivers throughout the years and in various series of NASCAR and various other forms of motorsports outside of NASCAR have died from the same injury. Very few have survived the injury, one being Ernie Irvan.

Love the threes in the crowd. Rest in peace dale sr.

6:20 is a thing of beauty. What a win lol.

Ricky Craven vs. Kurt Busch was the best finish ever! That's what it's all about, two racers refusing to lose.

The 2007 Daytona race HAS to be in the top 3. Edit: yay

Great highlights!!! My favorite driver of all time will be AWESOME BILL FROM DAWSONVILLE. NOW I PULL FOR CHASE FROM THE SAME PLACE!!!!!! FOVER #9!!!!!!

Amazing!

I can't wait for the day Carl Edwards fails his backflip I'm gonna crack up

What took Dale Sr 20 years to accomplish a rookie gets it in his first Cup Race. Thats unbelivable

Como quisiera algo asi en argentina che, es envidiable!!

Insane!

07 Daytona 500 Clint bowyer got swag

I loved watching that one with Johnson and Carl

evertime i drive on i -75 i feel like im in a nascar lol

I agree & a hell of a way to finish a race

Just a mexican comment passing through

Kevin Harvicks win in the 29 was the win that NASCAR needed along with Dale Jr. Winning Daytona a few weeks later to

Are you kidding me??!!! Am I dreaming right now??!!

Great Photo finish get his name here in this series

The ‘11 Daytona 500 would probably be off this list now

awsome video

4:18 the song is Shapeshifter - Celdweller (Klayton Remix)

whats the music used for Craven vs Busch?

So in the 2005 coca-cola 600, the fans stayed for 5 HOURS

Kenseth did WHAT to Kahne?!!!

saw it live... ricky raven vs kurt bush fight as a little kid. I became a motorsport fan after that race.

Gives me nostalgia

#9 3:01 YEAP Baby! YEAP BABY!!! THAT IS THE MAN, THAAT IS THE MAN!!!

WOW. .002 finish at the darlington and talladega.

Something that scares me is that before Dale Earnhardt died they talked about how safe the cars were. And now they were complimenting the much stronger catchfences then we saw what happened to Kyle Larson and that catchfence.

Have you ever…. No I’ve never. Love it.

I loved that tandem racing. The racing doesn't compare today to the racing just 10 years ago.

Still bitter about Daytona 2007. NASCAR forever had a policy to freeze he field when the caution comes out, but they decide not to throw the caution for Martin, and due to that he loses the race. What a joke.

I wonder what driving to the grocery store is like for these guys.

Not sure why im watching this, but nice!

That last one was lit

Hey it’s Darrel cartrip the voice from cars 1

I love how Johnson is allowed to pass below the yellow line and win

I’ve never seen such a close finish 😱

I gotta be honest with you,I had completely forgotten Ryan Newman even won the dang 500. He has to get the least reminiscent points of any Daytona winner.

What I like the most about the old gen 4 cars is that u could chase cars down. Look at the finish with Kurt Busch and Ricky Craven a car today in 1st woulda pulled away from the car in 2nd and both cars woulda definitely blown tires the way they were banging and bumping. Racing was just better back then

#4 a moment to remember forever

EPIC !

“HES GONNA HAVE TO MAKE IT WAKKKKK” 2:12 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I like the way they push their friends to win :DDD (trolling)

I was there at the Aaron's 499 race. I was sat at the exit of turn four.
