I was at this race my dad was sleepy so I drove us down there a week b4 I had my learners license...lol

You can tell the drivers learned their lesson in 06. In 06, they all stayed in line until the last lap and couldn’t catch JR, Johnson, and Vickers. They all made moves earlier in this race and gave themselves as solid chance

I’m sorry that Dale Jr. didn’t win.

NASCAR is a Christian sport.

I still love Dale Jr.

I love that race all the junior fans cannot go home and sleep with their sisters. They were so mad.

0:21 the sound though

that was a world class block by McMurray

Junior would’ve placed much Higher or even won if he went down to the Bottom to Block Gordon with 4-5 to go but he stayed on the high side for whatever reason…. Love Jr But he Made some Choices or Neglected some Obvious Moves that cost him a Handful of Races in his Time.

24EVER

2:04 the moment the crowds reaction rivaled Dales 2001 Pepsi 400 win.

My dad took me to this race. I was a big Jeff Gordon fan and 12 years old at the time. We drove a Mazda MPV mini van from our home in Central Virginia to attend. My dad gave me a radio headset, so during the race, I could listen to the broadcast commentary. When Gordon went to the outside and junior didn't go with him, my heart sank. It felt like an eternity when Gordon was all alone on the high side. I was so happy when he miraculously pulled off the win. Watching it on youtube at 30 years old is a nostalgic feeling. I'm thankful my dad took me to see this race. The whole experience was memorable. The day before the race, we ate at a restaurant called Aunt Catfish and I had gator tail for the first time. Make some memories with your kids because time doesn't stop for anything. Cheers to all the racing fans still watching in 2023!

Good videos NASCAR #25car wins

Had the 97 pushed the 8 instead of passing the 8 wins...he pushed 24 out front then backed up to the 97 looking for a push and didnt get it

Bad ending

If Dale Went With Gordon on the Back straight after the restart, He probably would’ve won.

499 just doesn’t sound right

5:10 William Grantham Blows Up

Back in NASCAR hay day! Listen to them fans and how excited they were during those last laps

Back when nascar was great

I’m going to sound stupid here but can someone tell me what Aaron’s 499 is

I’ve searched for so long to find footage of the final laps of this race. I remember being a lil kid watching this the suspense watching those cars drive from the back to the front was something special. Listen to the crowd what a time for nascar!!!!

Look William! He's Take Lead With 5 Laps To Go!

Not only was the racing great, but the broadcasting was amazing. So sad to see that they won’t be together anymore

the blurred car won

2:20 dat bump draft by Gordon though

this literally looks like cars from the movie cars

That's a good finish to a race if you ask me

Didn't get the end? Nice troll

What brand of toaster was this recorded with?

DEI sure knew how to set up their cars for plate racing back then.

Lol, DW calling Dale Jr. winning with 6 laps to go.

David Gilliland is a dumbass

If i could only see...👀

I was there, and I still get chills! Dale Earnhardt was great, but Jeff Gordon is equally as good! Go Jeff Gordon, always my favorite!!!

NASCAR died with DE Sr.

3:57 Hi Friend!

Which pixel is Jeff Gordon?

Announcers are so in love with junior that they refuse to acknowledge jeff Gordon taking the lead. Happened on many occasions, 2005 Daytona 500

Can’t wait to read all the old fans complain about modern racing

NASCAR 06 Total Team Control Challenge Daytona 507.5

I don't dislike Waltrip. Please give me a break

Could these guys be anymore bias for Dale Jr Gimmie a break and when Jeff took the lead from him they were like oh hey guys Jeff Gordon took the lead

What is the d's pizza logo doing up there is there a car of that on the street tract?

I searched for this race only Bc of the one specific memory of junior pushing tony to the front and then immediately trying to pass on the outside. I don’t know why that specific pass has stuck with me for a decade and a half

Those engine sounds...

The problem was I remember vividly was the confusion fucking dw Larry and Mike put people under saying "was it the end of the race" even though it was a gwc. They did nothing but confuse their audience during this era over a simple rule.

Gordon fan 4 life!

Let's face it , Nascar is at death's door waiting for a clergyman ! Racing today SUCKS!!!!!!!!

Nowadays, the only races I really look forward to are Daytona, Martinsville, and Talladega.
