[@claygreen7253]

We are Mid TN proud of Sterling. Worked his ass off to get recognition. He dis it. God bless Sterling. Parkinson's is tough. But by God Tennessee is tougher. Love you bud!

[@suckLmydick]

First race (and win) for my favorite racecar of the Gen 4 era; The one that Sterling won 4 plate races with in 95-96. Beautiful specimen of a racecar

Sterling , I was at the backstretch in Daytona 1995 , after the hellishdelay .. Icould not have EVER been more proud of A Tennessean !moreover the Bristol car!!!

[@deanladue3151]

I still remember the headline in the newspaper on Monday: "1995 Daytona 500. two in a row for Sterling, seventeen in a row for Dale".

[@luciddreaming999]

Those headers on Sterling Marlins car!! I remember everybody the next year had those high pitch headers

[@kramnull8962]

They were OK because he was a Chevy. They would have parked a Ford for those...

[@SDRacing88]

Dr. Gas exhaust. Great story.

[@SDRacing88]

Like hell Kram, every team declined to run that exhaust system, except Morgan-Mclure. They signed a contract with Dr. Gas to be the exclusive team till the end of the year.

[@JohnYenchick]

Eric Cartman I started to watch forgetting who won this race, remember Sterling Marlin won in 1994 and won 2 times in a row, but I couldn’t remember 93 and 95. Then I remembered... The exhaust... Thank you for this!

[@scottwilliams1925]

i remember going to see qualifying and that car sounded so different from everyone elses and now i know why

[@marlinbig401]

Thank you Sterling! We love and pray for you 💕 I camped st Tallladega for 4 days in 1996 ,,, and you “ROCKED!

So did I!!! I was 13 years old and screaming for Sterling. Great day.

[@spacemanmonster23]

Years from now will we look back at Daytona 500 drivers of today and wonder who in the world was Kyle Busch or Ryan Preece like we do Ben Hess starting in the 26th position

[@Bandana_Boi]

Man what a shame that the entire back half of the race and into the finish, the story and narrative was how Dale Earnhardt lost the race. Not how incredible and unfeasible Sterling Marlin winning his second Daytona 500 in a row! Marlin deserved so much more praise and the broadcast didn't do a fantastic job with that. Especially dominating Dale at his best in the closing laps.

[@jasonwiggins6137]

It was so annoying how bias they were for Earnhardt. You should hear the uncut feed during commercial breaks on these races, the control room was constantly checking on Sr. Unfortunately, because of merchandise sales, NASCAR made money when Earnhardt did well. It's a shame that NASCAR history is twisted because of it. Earnhardt flipping his car and getting back in it is talking about continuously, but they never mention that just a few years before, Davey flipped his car, put it in gear and drove back to the pits. The "pass in the grass" wasn't a pass. Gordon constantly embarrassed Earnhardt at Daytona and Talladega, but Sr. could "see the air". Bobby Allison completely schooled Earnhardt at Talladega while winning a race in which Sr. couldn't get around him lap after lap. The "Intimidator" was intimidated himself throughout his entire career and not a single driver was scared of him on the race track. Only one Daytona 500, 8th in all time wins, and 17th in winning percentage and announcers claim he was the best ever even though not a single Sports or Racing Publication named him Driver of the Century in 1999. It's pathetic how they spooned after him. A horrible human being on and off the track.

[@fatpatlives1998]

@@jasonwiggins6137 you doing too much

[@crr311sux5]

@@jasonwiggins6137 I agree that the pass in the grass wasnt really a pass but Dale literally schooled everyone on superspeedways and was winning at just about every track.. Also if you're gonna say that Dale Earnhardt was a "Bad" Driver then how about you hop in a 1990s NASCAR Winston Cup car for 30-35 Races against 42 Of the best stock car drivers in the world and see how you do.

[@jasonwiggins6137]

@@crr311sux5 Try again. Gordon had far more wins than Earnhardt at Daytona and Talladega when both were in the race. Earnhardt has the most all time wins at Talladega which is his only significant record he owns by himself. Richard Petty is the King at Daytona. Richard Petty 7 Daytona 500's compared to Earnhardt's one, under caution. Once again, we have another fan who believes the narrative. The facts prove otherwise.

[@crr311sux5]

@@jasonwiggins6137 It's not like Earnhardt has the most victories at Daytona ever lmao.

[@jonathan_tong93]

The 1995 Daytona 500 at the Daytona International Speedway marked the start of the 15th Year of NASCAR Racing on Philippine Television, as Sterling Marling, who scored his first NASCAR Cup Series win a year ago, won his second career victory for Morgan-McClure Motorsports with the #4 Kodak Chevrolet Monte Carlo, which denied a chance for a Daytona 500 win for the late Dale Earnhardt of Richard Childress Racing with sponsorship from GM Goodwrench. The first NASCAR on GMA race of 1995 was jointly produced by Television and Production Exponents, Inc. and SilverStar Communications Inc. and aired live, nationwide, and via-satellite on GMA Network on February 20, 1995 with a radio simulcast on DZBB 594 Radyo Bisig Bayan and Campus Radio 97.1 WLS FM

[@Trainlover1995]

I don't know why they say Gen-4 started in 1992. The cars still looked like the Gen-3 cars after 1991. In my mind, Gen-4 didn't start until 1997.

[@crr311sux5]

Technically the Gen 4 car started in 1992 when they started making the cars fabricated and shit for aerodynamics, also the second use of the Chevy Monte Carlo started in 1995 after the Lumina
