It was always Micheal Waltrip, he crashed or caused a crash more than he finished.

I can’t get over at how well the quality of this video holds twelve years later

if Waltrip and Mears both hit Kenseth then Gordon would win or get hit with Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski then we wouldn't know who win

As crazy as this wreck was to this day I don’t think anyone has realized that this is practically the FIRST and ONLY time someone’s done a blowover in the middle of a turn

I miss Allen Bestwick announcing races

I was stunned at how Gordon somehow, some way went from 14th to 2nd in only a couple seconds

This is the accident that Dale references in his book that really started his concussions to become even worse. To the point that he wasn't even acting like himself after this wreck.

Biffle Gordon and Ky Busch just tuned in their inner Dinoco 400 McQueen 😂 BUT GOD DAMN TONY WHY DID YOU HAD TO MAKE THE BLOCK ON MARK MAR- I mean on Mikey

The way Kyle Busch avoided that is crazy

jeff gordon pass 14 cars in 3 seconds lol

Why did Dale Jr. make that move and do that? Not the end of the wreck, when they were wrecking.

Did Brad Kesolowski made it through?

Waltrip should have won that 🎉🎉

Wild that of all the things from this wreck, Michael Waltrip being in the best position to win is the craziest of them all

Girly Matt Kenseth

Tony always bitches about people but this is all his fault

But I still like Tony Stewart. I like when he wins, too.

Even though Tony Stewart won this race, this race had a classic finish.

im only surprised how Kenseth made it through

Glad to see drivers across different motorsports have done this, Dale Jr’s the only other guy ive seen do this

0:58 1:17 1:26 1:29 1:32 1:33

for a guy who always bitched about blocking, tony pulled the dumbest block i’ve ever seen. never did he have a shot at pulling it off, and completely screwed everyone over. for those who don’t know: this was the wreck that gave Dale Jr. a concussion that forced him to sit out a few races, thanks to Tony’s stupidity

wild

Who's here because of Daniel Hemric?

Here after Hemric did a recreation moment!

0:56 1:11 1:36

Balloons je

This was the most insane last lap and 3/4 I've ever seen. Too bad they didn't make it back. Would have been a hell of a finish!

NOW Why Didn't MICHEAL WALTRIP FALL IN BEHIND STEWART! HE STILL COULD HAVE MADE A MOVE... INSTEAD HE WRECKS HALF THE DAMN FIELD!!! HES GOTTA BE THE WORST DRIVER IN NASCAR HISTORY!!!

This is the race that made me hate Stewart. Waltrip ditched him made an amazing move at 1:21 and douche knew he was fish outta water. Amazing Mikey was only racing 4 races year then and this one would have been his 5th restrictor plate win. Only won 4 but grest dude met him Many times and many signed Napa jackets in the pre race autograph sessions pre and after races . Great great dude Deadly restrictor plate racer sad his first win came on that terrible 2001 day

i have to much nostalgia...

4 Wide car on my hood 10-4

The class act of all this is Dale Jr gives Jimmie Johnson a ride back to pit road

More than a decade later and this video still gives me the chills. The symphony of sounds is simply different with pack racing. And those 4-wide shots. Awesome!

Tony did not even flip

THE BIFF

6:06 you can hear Greg Biffle being interviewed in the background of his miraculous wreck avoidance

Does anyone have a good-quality full version of this race? Azevedo M had one (it was only in 360p, but was actually watchable) but took it down for some reason

What a shot at 1:08. Unbelievable they made it as far as they did without crashing.

Ross Chastain would wish he could create this big crash

I Remember this race vividly and was so happy seeing waltrip getting that hard push. No doubt he would have run that race if not for Stewart. Woulda been his first win since 2004 at the same track. Great restrictor plate racer.

1:07 greatest camera shot in NASCAR history

"They waited all day to do it but it was big when it happened" Dark restrictor-plate humor.

I remember watching this with my brother and both of our jaws dropped to the floor when Stewart flipped…

Michael had the race and STUPID STEWART had to ruin it for everyone.Tony is a true ahole.NOT THE FIRST TIME!!!!

I don’t count this as a flip but damn this wreck was crazy

1:32 Kevin Harvick is upside down!

This looks like a fuckkin video game. 4 wide. 30 cars wrecking. Absolutely insane

Imo this is one of stewarts biggest mess ups in his career. Amazing 4 wide racing, michael waltrip with a run to the lead, who knows how they would have finished. That was a bad block and tony knows it.

Greg biffle is a huge fan of lightning McQueen
