I watched the race and then I cried for hours.

He wanted to know who won the race Sadly he wanted to know about every 30 seconds

3:57

Can I say that Cale Yarborough one tough sob??? If I was alive in the 70s and 80s he easily would of been top 3 favorite drivers

I remember watching this race and it honestly was great overall. And kenseth went from overheating on pit road to winning

Davey will always be my favorite, he was so positive and always found that silver lining. My childhood hero left me at 9 years of age but at least I had a few years of Davey Allison to cheer for on the radio then the TV. Years later i find the silver lining. What a humble man, we are lucky to have that man in our world in our lifetime.

Danica Patrick go to the bathroom

And today the all star race is a joke

What is the song at the end

Wow now I know how the All Star race all started now

I come back to this from time to time and I’ll be damned I still cry. Raise Hell Praise Dale

Just a bad accident. I feel sorry for his family and friends. RIP.

It hits home everytime I take my Daytona Jacket out from that day To see that accident live and in person is something you can never forget

I remember getting disappointed that the Daytona 500 got postponed from Sunday to Monday because I knew I was gonna be forced to go to school. But I got lucky because I got sick on Monday with a fever, cold, and sore throat. But then I got annoyed when the rains came back and wondered if they were gonna postpone it again to the next day. Until they made the announcement on the news that they were gonna run the race at night instead. I was so excited and thrilled about it, and enjoyed the race all the way up to the Juan Pablo Montoya incident. I remember my mom calling me up from her place asking me what happened, I said I didn't know from looking at the replay, and when the replay stopped, I saw the huge fire coming from the jet dryer, and even the track got lit on fire. It was incredibly weird. I remember staying up to watch the remainder of the race, and going to bed at around a quarter to 1 AM. It was crazy, but it was worth it.

I don't think there is a movie or rock star that shocked the people more than the loss of Davy and Alan in 1993. WOW, what a devestating year for NASCAR and all the fans. There was a time my sons and I knew all the drivers and their sponsors, but today I don't know anyone who would waste their time watching a NASCAR race. All the greats have passed on or retired. There will never be drivers like Davey, Alan, Dale, Dale Jr. Rusty. Bill, Mark, Richard, Kyle, and all the others who carried us through the 80s and 90s with such excitement and thrills. These guys were racing for the love of it. Not like these cry baby jokers who drive fast and turn left of today.

If he wore a proper helmet he'd prolly be alive.

Petty cheated here, engine was too big

this was richard petty's last ever top 10 in a non points paying race

My first NASCAR race seen live was the Pocono 500 in 2003. Never forget the huge memorial to Dale outside the front entrance of Pocono two years after the accident, flowers pictures, written letters, etc. And like most of us thought that day...meh just hit the wall, he'll be OK....only to find out the impact almost took his head off....thanks to Dale, many lives may have been saved afterwards. RIP

Mike Joy is the definition of professionalism. One of the greatest to ever do it.

Alan kulwicki 1986 rookie of the year,1992 Winston cup champion and 2019 NASCAR Hall of Fame and Davey Allison 1987 rookie of the year,1992 Daytona 500 champion and 2019 NASCAR Hall of Fame. Both brightest stars gone to soon rest in peace Alan and Davey.

A Very Expensive Race for Race Teams and Car Owners. Along with Talladega.

True legends never die 🫡 rip dale sr and davey Allison

No one will Every Replace Davey and wish we could see MORE instead of Bumper car Earnhart that the Track people would just turn there heads Davey was the King number 28

I would give anything to have been alive and witness this along with the 92 Hooters 500. Amazing races, drivers, times, and memories.

23 years later, rest in peace to the best to ever do it. NASCAR has yet to recover!

What were they going up against in the sunday night timeslot?

Should have done this, this year

Footage of Montoya hitting the jet dryer is more valuable than Bigfoot footage

2012 is one of the greatest years of my entire life! Tomorrow is potentially the 12 year anniversary I found my beloved BFDI object shows!!! AND TOMORROW, as much evidence has already proven my 12 year zodiac theory, the 2024 Daytona 500 will turn out EXACTLY like the 2012 Daytona 500. But instead of Kenseth winning, I got Chase Elliott or especially hail melon himself ROSS CHASTAIN! Keep in mind though, Bell is in the 20 and won the duel. when Kenseth retired, he drove the 20 and also keep in mind that Kenseth won a Daytona duel in 2012 before the 2012 Daytona 500, just like Bell won the 2nd daytona duel in 2024. when jet dryer MONTOYAAAAA destroyed the jet dryer in 2012, Dave Blaney was the leader. Today, his son Ryan Blaney is the defending champion of the NASCAR Sprint Cup looking to win the 2024 Daytona 500. fyi Carl Edwards finished 2nd in the 2011 Daytona 500, then won the 2012 Daytona 500 pole. Joey Logano finished 2nd in the 2023 Daytona 500, then won the 2024 Daytona 500 pole. Edwards finished 8th in this race. Is Logano finishing 8th in the 2024 Daytona 500? Perhaps we live in god’s simulation? 🤔 - Cole Coibi Coleyball

The fact that Ryan Blaney can take the same type of crash and impact at Daytona in the Summer 23 race and not only walk away but not have a major/significant concussion is incredible. It’s horrible that it took the loss of a/THE legend to have these changes made but the lives that have been saved are probably numerous!

2024 repeat

And here we are in the monsoon of Daytona 2024.

Everything hadn't been said yet

T story

1992 was arguably the greatest NASCAR season followed by 2 dark seasons…

Crazy to think 11 years after Dave Blaney almost lucked out and won the 500, that Ryan won the Championship! Proud Papa for sure!

"So we've got this open test session, in the middle of April. Let's open the gates." Brilliant.

Well hey we're now in the 24th anniversary of this race and us losing Dale Sr i know for a lot of y'all that was your last time watching NASCAR and it still sucks even today i know for a lot of people Dale Sr was just the guy you didn't want to root for anyone else but Dale Sr.😊

Although he felt that he, understandably, couldn't really celebrate it in 2001, at least Michael Waltrip got another chance to celebrate a Daytona 500 win in 2003. Although rain shortened, he could properly celebrate his 2003 win, where he felt he couldn't in 2001

What a documentary definitely got a bit emotional watching how it unfolded. RIP Dale Earnhardt you're legacy will never be forgotten.

I've always found it remarkable that Ken Schrader has NEVER spoken about the details of what he saw when he dropped that window net and saw Dale. I think many years later he has only stated that he knew Dale was dead but that's it. He's never gone in detail and he's kind of the keeper of the flame in that regard. It's best that fans around the world never saw pictures and never knew the horrific details of what was seen. That Earnhardt is remembered for the life he had and the icon he was and not the unfortunate end he met. I wouldn't want my lasting image of a larger than life sporting icon like Dale Earnhardt to be an image of him sitting dead inside the race car.

Most critics and internet says it all. The most talked about race of the year back in 2001 (before darkness and tragedies) could had been the GREATEST. No one and I mean no one cannot replied on the goat of NASCAR but the late Dale Earnhardt Sr himself. We love you Dale (1951-2001)

RIP Cale Yarborough. A true legend that will be greatly missed!

What Ken Schrader was saying in the interview when the race was finished that he knew it was obvious Earnhardt was lifeless

I still cry to this very day. R.I.P #3. Dale you made racing what it was

What a crybaby Robert Yates is. "Wah, I don't like wrecks, you can't take the winning car to victory lane, wah" no wonder his team went downhill. I seriously doubt his wimpy crybaby hands put a dent in the hauler.

This is hard to watch.

I remember this race so vividly. It was the day after my dads birthday. I remember going to school that day. I remember saying to one of my best friends that we may have a nighttime daytona 500. We had it indeed. It was absolutely insane. By midnight, i was getting tired and ready to fall asleep. But then the explosion heard round the world. So i was like okay.... will Dave Blaney win this?! Then by 1:45 in the morning i was like yep we're finishing this. Then sure enough i was up till 3:30. Up at 7am for school the next day. My dad had asked me he was like so did you listen to the Daytona 500? Im like howd you know? He was like, obviously i know you... your a nascar fan you wanted to see where your favorite driver was gonna finish. I was like you mad? He was like ill be mad if you can't stay awake for class. I was awake throughout the classes i had. Then by my last class i was ready to go to bed. My dad actually got me a mtn dew to stay awake until going to bed that night. A daytona 500 a 15 year old girl will never forget. Here I am almost 28 and I enjoyed it

Folks can talk shit all they want about the 80's...i had alot of fun!
