[@foxtown7662]

This is real Nascar!With A list racers!

[@foxtown7662]

I miss these years of racing because the build up as a fan watching before social media was just amazing!

[@christopherhasse7183]

I been following NASCAR since 1995 and I still love to watch the races

[@WhiteGuyGray]

I was at this race it was my 8th birthday! Sitting in the infield right off the start finish line!

[@RandyDubin]

The pre-race show here is *GOLD*.

[@76jasonl]

On lap 25, Sterling Marlin was in 30th. 24 laps later.....1st.

[@bobbymonteforte3705]

I loved How John Andrettis car sounded.

[@philipreedwallace]

I was at this race. And the year before. Great times. Look how crowded it was back then.

[@nofeargaming9403]

Lucky you. I’m from 2007 and I really missed out on a lot!

[@quasimoto7662]

John Andretti that year was a force at the plate tracks. I think that year he may have had the single fastest car at all four races.

[@akajakeyyale1897]

12:00 Dale Sr having Those head issues like JR was a bit chilling

[@yuriqueiroga8866]

It was the first Mike Joy's broadcast as a CBS' play-by-play commentator

[@vinewood8295]

The Labonte brothers always ran well at Dega but for whatever reason could never get it done at Daytona...

[@Streetw1s3r]

27:26 This is so damn cool.

[@DCTib]

The TV guys used focus on the racing and not the driver. You can see those in-car cameras showed how cool the driving action was...now they just point the camera at the side of the driver as if that's more exciting

[@Mrtinkyloo]

2:15:14 - very strong words for restrictor plate racing.

[@charliesmith5545]

It isn't racing

[@STP43FAN1]

Oh yes it is. Racing is slicing and dicing

[@charliesmith5545]

@@STP43FAN1 you haven't raced car obviously. Mark Martin has given his view on restrictor plate racing and he nails it. It's about being a good drafter. Why u think Michael Waltrip sucked at anything other than Daytona and Talladega?

[@joshjarnagin3161]

Charlie Smith It’s just opinions. If he won I bet he wouldn’t say that

[@pp3k3jamail]

@@joshjarnagin3161 dude Mark Martin won the first race that year at Talladega. it's not like Mark Martin never won at Talladega or Daytona before dumbass.

[@michaeldawson735]

thanks for posting

[@thelegendchrisb]

Last top 5 finish for Ernie Irvan in his career

[@speedspeed121]

Oh wow. I forgot about that IndyCar sound at the plate races of this era.

[@adamcordle3906]

1:39:43 a rare blunder by Ned Jarrett

[@briantaylor9285]

Great race.

[@the_elmeister]

2:08:21 - The Big Wreck

[@montev4]

3:32 Lol Earnhardt

[@pp3k3jamail]

Ken Schrader was a poor blocker. He should've blocked Terry labonte before Terry and his brother got that run on him.

[@vinewood8295]

There's a reason he only won a few races at the Cup level...

[@mizatthekizat8894]

Do you have any nascar in car. Where they followed the driver through the whole race.

[@alanunseld4942]

go jarrett go🏁

[@akajakeyyale1897]

Another video proving that Darryl Waltrip IS in Fact Ricky Bobby! Lol 😂

[@deletethemedia3445]

Really wish Schrader could of pulled that one off

[@carsland123]

2:10:27 the big one

[@evanwilliams6406]

2:40:33 Folks you don't have one of these in 1/24 scale at home and you don't want one.

[@mgtowoutlaw6950]

Huh?

[@evanwilliams6406]

@@mgtowoutlaw6950 I'm talking about diecast cars. 1/24 scale is big. And 1/64 is hot wheels size, and 1/87 is smallest.

30:15

[@briantaylor9285]

Bummed for Schrader. 😕

[@braedonshelton2305]

His last real chance at a win.

[@josephbelczynski5342]

why was richard pettys car number 43 retired!!!!!

[@STP43FAN1]

39:18

[@Cabooseified]

All rise for Dale Earnhardt.

[@gary24fan]

WTH did the proceeds from the diecast sales of the 28 need to go to the Allison grandkids for? WTF did those people DO with their money?

[@trevortuominen8233]

They need support.

"The Confederate Flag, I am so triggered"

[@blackpagan100]

Triggered: another way of saying “having a tantrum!”

[@josephbelczynski5342]

repeat, richards #43 should have been retired!!!!!
