Gordon was The Master at “The Bump and Run.” If he came up on someone slower than him, and they wouldn’t get out of the way, he’d just give ‘em a little nudge (not wrecking them), then go by...

Rusty was my favorite driver growing up especially those kick ass commercials

As a Rusty Wallace fan from '85 till the day he hung up his helmet. I remember those 2 bump n run races very well & I didn't like Jeff at the time but looking back on it now I understand he did what he had to do to win those races & I now like him & have respect for Jeff & his amazing career & I am glad they are good friends now😁 Since Rusty retired I no longer have a fav driver & don't watch Nascar like I used to live & breathe it pulling for Rusty, but I must say I really enjoyed this little segment that brought back so many good memories for me☺️ p.s. I will ALWAYS be a Rusty Wallace FAN😁

2 absolute LEGENDS. Guys now-a-days just bump the guy in front of them and they wreck. It takes crazy skill to bump a guy and NOT wreck them. Miss the great racing of the 90's-00's

Rusty is one of the best all time

I was on vacation with my family, staying at my aunt's house when the 2002 race aired. That race went pretty late (plus we were on Atlantic Canada time, an hour ahead), so everyone except me and my li'l brother had gone to bed before the end. My brother was a Ward Burton fan; I was/am a Jeff Gordon fan. Man, even though we had to be quiet, it was probably the best race ever for us. I mean, Ward got wrecked, but him making a scene was awesome. And then Jeff won at the very end. And my bro and I did our tradition of jumping, hands up, when Jeff crossed the finish line. Small problem though - my aunt's ceilings are low, and I ended up breaking her ceiling light. She still remembers. XD

Jimmies championships are impressive no doubt BUT my opinion jeff's chips were more impressive b/c the competition and the cars were more difficult to drive

Nice piece! Been a Gordon fan forever, happy to see these two friends today!!!

Going to pain me being a Gordon fan to say this, but....I miss Rusty. Can't stand Kyle Busch, but when he retires, we will all miss him. You miss your hero's after their gone, but you also miss your villains too. Miss ya Rusty, heck of a driver.

I wish they would have brought up the payback rusty had at Richmond in 1998.

I like to imagine Jeff Gordon all alone at Atlanta after everything was postponed like Michael Waltrip in that one commercial

Thanks so much gentleman. Your stories are much appreciated during the Covid-19 measures. Two great racers!

That was awesome. 2 great racers and their desire to win.

NASCAR needs a “Senior Series” so we can get some more of these rivalries...

This is an amazing interview!! Please do more!!!

Awesome interview! Massively entertaining!

Miss those days and those guys.

I remember watching Mr H and Jeff shooting the breeze on pit road before a race and up comes Rusty, blows past Jeff like he was invisible and starts talking to Mr H. They really didn’t like each other. I’m glad they are friends now - great interview!!

Thank you for the post - this is some great memories 🏁👏ttt24

We need Kurt Busch and Jimmie Johnson to do an interview

I vote for the older guys to be entered into the i-races!

I enjoyed that. I’m glad they’ve become friends.

I was at that race sitting right there where it happend, between turn 3 and 4 in the Darrell Waltrip section

This is great stuff love it .I miss them racing

So does it premiere on here or on tv?

Jeff Gordon is the best of all time!

I love to watch rusty and wonder boy (Gordon) raced in the old days very much. Two legends are happy now and I like that. Missed the old days racing nothing against today. But, old days racing are much better with the cars and especially all my favorite drivers like Gordon, rusty, man in black (Dale senior), Waltrip, Elliot, petty, David Pearson, Cale, junior Johnson, Ricky R, Benny Pearson, the Allison’s families, Ernie, smoke, and jimmy Johnson plus more.....

Loved Rusty growing up and hated Gordon, But looking back on it Gordon is alright in my book now

ill never forget the payback ...lol... remember...rusty slid up into jeff as he was rolling the top in turn 2 at richmond==.better than most have ever rolled the top../. jeff had the car to beat once again and rusty knew it.../ payback was 98? really//??hu,mmm ..... fun stuff...lol

Pure awesome stuff, that’s all

Both races were awesome at the end

Rusty was underrated. Rusty and the drivers of his era didn't get into nascar until they were all in their early 30s and in mediocre rides. Jeff got in very early before his prime and in the top equipment. Both were champion caliber. When jeff came into his prime rusty, dale, mark and those guys could still contend but jeff ran away from them as time went on

Rusty never said anything negative about his car or team and if you raced him good and won he would give a thumbs up .He is a class act .

Awesome Drivers! Miss you Jeff and Rusty!

two great drivers

Rusty knows about his engines he is one of the BESTv if not the BEST chassis men around . He did all the work himself . ttt24 - 🏁#9

Wish they would take a camera crew to the desert and do a round table with all those guys telling stories. It would be EPIC!!

He was my favorite driver and yes i feel like he sould have won the daytona 500 at least once and with as long of a career he had he sould have had at a couple more championship trophies and a few more wins but he got we got and we love him for who he was during his time thanks for the memories rusty

Rusty talking about selling custom bikes and Daytona bike week reminds me of those awesome Harley Davidson-Miller Lite liveries he ran back in the day. Maybe that's part of the reason he ended up running them?

I watched that 1997 race and really analyzed the final lap or 2, and what screwed up Rusty was Jimmy Spencer who had just come out of the pits and didn't get down out of the way of the leaders and broke Rustys momentum coming off turn 2 on the last lap and because he had to brake or let off or whatever to avoid running into Spencer, if you watch it you can see it and you can tell it screwed him up going down the back straightaway, and got him out of sync and Gordon got right up on him as a result and Gordon had all his momentum so he just ran into him in turns 3-4 and nudged him out of the way. I don't know if he brings this up in this interview though. Just started listening. Just rewatched it again and Rusty actually had a pretty nice gap going into the white flag but Spencer screwed him up coming off turn 2 so that's what did him in

Great interview ❤ty

Back when racing was fun to watch, Miss them both driving, but Rusty was who I routed for

GREAT VIDEO, RUSTY IS A SHORT TRACK MASTER, BUT GORDON WAS MY FAVORITE DRIVER... I MISS SEEING THE DUPONT BLUE WITH THE BRIGHT RED FLAMES!!! CAR WAS AS BAD ASS AS THE DRIVER!!!

That was cool

Let's not forget that the Gordon and Wallace incident isn't the only Jeff Gordon vs team penski number 2 incident

Rusty was very good but Jeff was Great!

They need to bring Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, and Kevin Harvick out there to get over some of their differences.

Need to have a Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth one because Gordon needs to admit he dumped Matt at Chicagoland on purpose as payback from Bristol in 2006 😂

Rusty throwing shade saying he didnt even remember what happened after Gordon said hes waited 4ever for this is classic Rusty 😂🤣

Glad I watched I don't hate Jeff anymore.

Gordon and Wallace are Rivals on Track Friends off Track

Can't believe 1 thumbs down.

One never knows where loyalty is born.

What he could of said was Rusty was king during (his) time because nobody was better than DW at Bristol. I mean they called him Mr. Bristol. I'm sure Rusty remembers the 80s.

Bump and run huh? Back in the day when it was race on sunday sell on monday, and the bumpers on the cars were showroom stock parts bump and run was called Using the Chrome Horn. Beep Beep........Find some old 60's and 70's races and watch the likes of the Allison bros,Cale Yarboro and Buddy Baker use the "Chrome Horn"

When I watched this video, my first thought was Logano’s bump-and-run on MTJ at Martinsville 2018.

I think that Jeff is incapable of harboring animosity to any old rivals. Class act by Rusty too.

Good! All anyone ever wants to talk about is Earnhardt & Labonte at Bristol, fools forget all about the other battles that went down on that track...

I always hated Rusty as a driver but I have grown to like him now lol

Who else paused at 17:31 to see if you had notification? lol

This is when nascar was nascar

😁👍🏁

Gordan the Cook awesome

Of every driver Jeff Gordon competed with, I believe that Rusty was his biggest rival. It is great to see that these guys have made amends and became great friends. This was a great interview. #24 #2 #NASCARlegends

Not an issue, Rusty got him back at Sonoma...

Rusty Wallace: Off the Track He's one of my best Friends On the Track He's just a Great Competitor

Yet Jeff Gordon got mad in 2001 when Robby Gordon did the bump and run on him to win the race.

Bump and run been around forever it's the crash and run that drivers want to whip your tail for

Its true.. Rusty Wallace was and still is Mr Bristol.. Dude was great at richmond and martinsville as well

Being a huge Gordon fan, Whenever Rusty would get to racing Jeff, Rusty reminded of a rabid junkyard dawg that chewed through its leash.

People don't forget

mY Boyz!!!! Get Em Gents!!!!!!!!!!!

She's smokin

Dude why does noone watch this channel?? Is nascar really tht dead??

Rusty took the lead late in the race the same way in the 2002 race.

We don’t have long runs anymore. Stupid stage racing ! It so annoying!

Jeff Gordon destroyed Wallace several times over.

Wow is she beautiful

Ads were in shit spots. As soon as you cut to some action, you throw a bloody ad!! Boooo

Good job nascar. Hot blonde "analyst" with a see-thru top. Thats how you get views lol
