Had to watch this race again after watching Emplemon's latest video. His video makes the ending of the race so poetic it's crazy.

1:49:34 Harvick and Gordon battle for 37th down 50 laps

ya see the funny thing about nascar is that if u watch long enough, everything comes full circle

3:19:48 One of the most iconic crashes in NASCAR history

“BRAD KES-EL-OW-SKI WON THIS RACE!” 😂 Classic

Carl still got to do a backflip even though he didn't win

Man this is some great HD Quality for 2009, looks like this race is live.

Lmao that open mic moment during the commercials kill me. But Darrell does make a good point @48:46

48:48 Preach DW, preach!!

Also RIP to that beautiful throwback Pepsi Challenger car

And yet was one of the best Talladega finishes

I was in the stands at this race, about 500 yards from the finish line. I can remember the crowd was absolutely electric the last couple laps, you could feel it in the air. Everyone was screaming so loud and I saw the crash clear as day. Even after the crash, people kept screaming in excitement and confusion. I had no idea I witnessed NASCAR history right before my eyes. I’ll never forget it. Ironically, the same year, I saw Alabama block Tennessee’s final field goal, which would have won the game. Two historical moments for American sports I witnessed in person in the same year. Very strange.

This was right about when the drivers started realizing that tandem drafting was faster

Such a fun and emotional weekend for me. The day before this race my two uncles and myself attended PINKS ALL OUT at Zmax dragway in Charlotte. Unbeknownst to us after qualifying for the Aaron's 499 at Talladega, Greg Biffle flew straight to Charlotte to do test passes in his drag race prepared Shelby Mustang, not for any official racing but more of a thing to hype the crowd during some downtime. After a 12hr day at Zmax, we stayed the night and drove home the next morning, just in time to watch this race. As a favorite past time my grandfather and myself would always watch the race on Sundays, but that wouldn't be anymore because he passed away on Superbowl Sunday Feb 1 2009. Ironically the Aaron's 499 was held on what would have been his 64th birthday April 25th. The place i worked at the time always had weekly race pools. You put in $10 with a chance to win $100. Well this weekend one of my drivers was Carl Edwards. I never thought he really had a chance to win until his strategy of hanging around the back and making his way up at the end was becoming more of a reality. Needless to say i was on the edge of my seat that last lap.

Now that's a Standing Room Only crowd at Talladega Superspeedway. I love it. It's TALLADEGA SUPERSPEEDWAY BABY!!!!!!

This race is what got me into nascar, besides Cars

Brilliant work from Keselowski, then a newbie in the cup series. He did what he had to do to get up front by pushing Edwards and then took advantage of Edwards' drifting too far from the yellow line. I'm not really a Keselowski fan, but that was great stuff...perhaps the best "first cup win" ever.

AND BRAD KESELOWSKI, HAS WON THIS RACE

Dale Jr invents the Tandem Draft, Brad K's first win, and the Talladega Night's tribute with Carl Edwards running across the start finish. Legendary. 2:55:30 Kyle Busch wrecks in front of the field and nearly saves it. WOW.

Forgot Sorenson drove the 43 in 09. Wow. Remember liking him in the old target dodge way back for myself 😅

And a future Cup champion was born on this day...

Carl Edwards played it smart the whole race. All it took was a little bump, aaaaaaaaaand into the air he went.

carl didn't walk away. he didn't run away. HE RAN LIKE THE MARATHON RUNNER HE WAS WITH A DETERMINATION TO CROSS THAT LINE

I love this race.

Are we ready to hear Mike Joy bury the lead when it comes to the huge crash? *car flying through the air and tears down the fence* And that DESTROYED the FRONT END of NEWMAN's car!!! Yeah Mike, Priorities ;)

Sure is nice listening to the announcers talking about the race instead of hearing toyota toyota all the time

OH YEAH BABY TALLDEGA 2009 The start of a masterpiece rivalry

Good thing this is in 16:9. Of course it’s no surprise since NASCAR on Fox eliminated the 4:3 aspect ratio substitute by the start of 2009.

Amazing after the big one they interviewed Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon back to back. Your current Nascar on FOX analysts today.

Watched this as a little kid.first time I saw something like this and ill always remember thinking “oh so these little shits can fly”

Thanks for uploading this.. HD picture quality and 60 fps. Audio quality is good too..

You gotta feel sorry for Kyle Busch when he was turned. What he did to Dale Earnhardt Jr at Richmond in Spring 2008 wasn't intentional.

What I saw was Montoya went for a hole that wasn’t there and Kenseth was so focussed on the bottom the he forgot Jeff was on the outside of him

Thanks NASCAR for the upload.

Buena carrera 🏁😎 saludos cordiales desde Barcelona 🇪🇸

2009 was such a great season. If you say otherwise, you're WRONG.

Bro I was THERE!!!!!! My 1st race.

Nobody ever talks about Jr banging against Keselowski on the entire cooldown lap & then Kyle Busch turning him before he enters pit road

That goatee… I like older Brads face now

This race was pretty crazy by memory

Ricky Bobby was sponsored by Wonder Bread in Talladega Nights.

8 drivers from this race are still racing cup today

3:24:10 Anne-Marie Rhodes. What a pleasure to see again this girl. Very classy.

Reagan Smith should’ve done to Tony Stewart in 2008 what Brad Keselowski did to Carl Edwards in 2009. Brad did absolutely nothing wrong.

Upload the Montreal and Mexico nationwide races. All of em

Good thing dale jr,spotter tells everything happening behind him. Alrighty come on June bug! Victory!

Darell walteips reactions are the best he's like omg that's horrible...... buutttt look at this

That's funny that Brad Keselowski crashed Carl Edwards on the final lap for his first career Sprint Cup Series win in 2009.

Shades of Ricky Bobby

Thanks for this nascar

3:19:48 your welcome :)

Catch fence kept debris out of stands my butt. I saw all kinds of stuff go flying in crowd. Luckily nothing to big

3:24:00 "Everyone is gonna say Kyle Busch spun the winner out after the race but I beg to pardon with you." Lolol. "Beg to pardon with you????"

No mention of Busch and Keselowski colliding on pit road after the race?

Thank You.

3:22:59

KARL EDWARD :HEY NEWMAN I'M SHOW YOU NEWMAN:WHAT. KARL EDWARD:*PUNCH*. NEWMAN:OUCH

When Edwards hits the catch fence you can see a woman in a green shirt and sun hat who appears to get hit in the face with a piece of fencing. 3:22:38

3:20:05 Now That is what you call a wreck.

In a way I liked the tandem draft in a way I didn't I remember one of the plate races Denny Hamlin was about to get lapped and Joe Gibbs had one of the team mate's to go back to push him up in the pack

This race came on my 5th birthday and i had no idea NASCAR even existed oof

Is it just the way the cameras filmed it or did the day on this race just look beautiful?

Brad did what he had to he started passing for the win,and Carl tried to block a car with momentum.

Mike Joy is the best Nascar weatherman, I love it. Lol.

Brad Keselowski be like: I like ya cut g.

Remembered The 1979 Nascar Replay

Look at 24:50, they try hard not to ascribe blame but they were really quick to say Kenseth came up on Jeff. He did, but look at the situation he was in. He just had Jeff behind him and he was 3 wide, and then going into that turn, Jeff Gordon puts his nose between 17 and 77. I'd normally say that's Jeff's fault for taking it 4 wide, but it really is just a Dega crash. You can't avoid it when you're being pushed into it into a turn.

First ever raced I attended

3:19:47 wreck is here

lmao ambrose somehow managed to avoid all 3 wrecks and ended up 4th..... pretty good result for a road course guy who was in 20th most of the race

Brad K back in 2009 had a weird southern accent that I've never heard from him since

I was at this race. Carl’s car was in mid air as his car was passing me.

Put all 4 Races in FOX West and East

single file restarts how I miss thee

Man, there were some really destroyed cars in this race! Forgot how hard Robby Gordon hit that inside wall.

3:22:37, super crash, Quem era pra ter vencido era o Earnhardt Jr.

Ohh men this 2 big ones!!

Am i the only one that's noticed, and is slightly annoyed that only half the cars have the side skirts painted? That's one thing I'm glad everyone does today

Can someone send me the link to watch the irace, eraces whaterver? I want to watch now races.

Holy toxic blocking from the #18.
