scott speed could have been great if he wasn't rushed into a subpar Cup ride after one year in Arca. He literally came into the sport his first year in stock car racing and won 4 arca races and a truck race. If teams weren't so stupid back then, they would have had him do a full nationwide season at least, where he probably would have won a few races, before moving him to Cup after 2-3 years. Then maybe he could have been a really good Cup driver

Elliott Sadler did not drove #38 M&M’s and feels weird

Robin Miller as a newspaper reporter for the IndyStar 35:30 RIP

I was in the stands for this race. I loved those GrandAm days.

22:49 has crashed in 3 of 6 race starts. cold with it.

I like the way he starts it out by coming out of church with his family, very cool.

" The Quiet One" does 50 speak engagements a year LOL

Shoot, I feel just as bad now as I did the night I heard on ESPN.....remember my mom getting sobbing after hearing the news....they'll never be another Alan, him and those times are gone forever. Don't follow NASCAR anymore and haven't since the 2001....but for 15 years I was a diehard and when I do watch anything NASCAR it's stuff like this and from this era that I relive.

17:02

Okay,Im new to IMSA racing and backtracking to catch up....if this was the last race of the GTP cars what took their place that was similar to them!

36:16 foreshadowing

Nearly 18 years later fox's next run of xfinity series ends.

I am so glad we don't have Creamer anymore. He was so annoying.

Loose is fast on the edge of out of control This is racing the way it should be

No footage of the US army cars.. those were his badass years

I was there!

To me NASCAR race cars from USA Is the Best sport in the world 🌎🌍 congratulations race drivers from 1940---2000❤❤😊😊😊

Ricky Stenhouse Jr's. official start of racing in NASCAR major series in general.

That was only time when Newman raced with Monte Carlo SS until they changed into Impala in '09.

This Race Was Supposed To Be On ESPN2 But Due To The Network's Coverage Of The 2008 NBA Playoffs Game Between The Cleveland Cavaliers And The Washington Wizards The Coverage Was Moved To ESPN Classic. At The Same Time, NASCAR Asked SPEED Channel To Air The Race And They Agreed. After The NBA Coverage Is Concluded, ESPN2 Re-aired The Entire Race.

At 1:24:48 ESPN Freaked Everyone Out When They Lost The Satellite Feed And Missing The Ending Of The Race. Thankfully Dr. Jerry Punch Apologize The Viewers At Home For The Incident And They Have To Show The Replay Unedited.

This was a great video on Ned. Thanks for sharing.

30:38 Michael Waltrip Wrecks Dale Jr.

53:28 the great sound of those old SuperSpeedway RPM’S

The winners were Brian France of NASCAR and Bernie Ecclestone of F1.

Thank you for sharing these older races. I like how you give good basic information in the description and don't spoil the ending by saying who wins (too many channels do that!!). Very nice. Thanks again!

I vividly remember watching this at my grandmother's that night. Lived only 3 hours from the track. Saw IndyCar run here in 2005 too. Now if only they hadn't sunk this place..

Thanks for posting this!

What an awesome racetrack Bristol was back then.

hello, you're probably looking for 15:05 or 17:58

watching this as a kid brings back so much memories 🤧🤧

I wonder how one of the classic ESPN people (Ned Jarrett) got here... 🤔

Mark Martin was supposed to be the grand marshal, but he left after the Cup race and Crystal Moore, the woman who sang the National Anthem pulled triple duty as she said the "Most Famous words in Motorsports" and drove the pace car for a ceremonial lap around the track.

You alright?

These cars dont scream like they used to.

I was at this race! Was 8 years old at the time with my grandpa!

Does anyone know how Ned Jarrett is doing .He was a true ambassador for then Nascar Winston Cup Racing any information will be greatly appreciated take care.

The good ole days of NASCAR racing miss those good ole days.

Happy 30th Anniversary to this race!!

01:10🙍‍♀️😁😍

The 2004-06 theme goes great with the _Fuel_ era intro 🎉

Who was here after Almirola finally won the race for JGR yesterday?

Back when Chicagoland was packed not just for all NASCAR races but also for their IndyCar race. This was because of course Chicago had the season ticket as the only ticket option. Chicago would rescind the season ticket as the only ticket option after the recession. After that IndyCar would notice a drop-off in attendance for its race at the track. That combined with IndyCar's dispute with ISC (now NASCAR) over its promotion of IndyCar races at their tracks is why the company would drop IndyCar not just from Chicago but all its other tracks. Then over the next decade of course NASCAR would experience a decline at the track until the pandemic cancelled the 2020 race with the race being dropped from 2021, and now NASCAR is trying the Chicago Street Race with the goal of going back to Chicagoland Speedway.

Do y have the one with Micheal Andretti and his former wife Sandy

Make the truck series a short track series again

What a great race by Auberlen! The entire team, what a job

Anyone else back here after the '24 food City 500? Looks almost similar
