If it wasn't for Dale Sr.'s death, and 9/11, the 2001 Winston Cup Series season would've been one of the best seasons of all time. There were some pretty spectacular moments over the course of 2001. Kevin Harvick's photo-finish first win, one of the greatest caution-free races, Dale Jr.'s first win at Daytona, Steve Park's only oval-track win, and the debut of both Chicagoland and Kansas all came in 2001. This finish, as well, was also from 2001. (Obviously)

+nascarfanatic2425 Sadly a lot of that wouldn't have happened if it hadn't have been for Earnhardt's death. Mainly Harvick's first win, but had Earnhardt have participated in the other 35 races, then he effects all of those races and they could have all had different outcomes. Sadly, even with a great season like 2001 that showed that NASCAR could still grow and be great without one of it's greatest drivers, just 5 or so years later they started changing everything up. What could have been...

Look carefully at the 7:42 minute mark. They did bring out the caution. However, prior to the fall 2003 Dover race, they used to do what was known as "racing back to the line". That meant that a driver was deemed to "take the caution" at the start/finish line and could still race for position prior to coming to the start/finish line. Look up the finish for the 1998 Daytona 500 or 1998 Brickyard 400 if you want an example.

A thrilling race and a breathtaking (albeit scary!) conclusion. Seems like just yesterday, but I remember this finish vividly. I was a HUGE Labonte fan and given that Bobby usually didn't fare too well at plate tracks, I couldn't believe that he was in the lead so late in the race! I kept watching until the pack came through the tri-oval for the white flag which, being 9-years-old, I was so nervous that I had to leave the room. A few minutes later, I returned to the sight of the 18 car wrecked and upside down at 8:12 Terribly disappointing, but looking back at this race today -- and at Nascar during this period -- I realize what a remarkable combination we as fans were treated to at that time: A great on-track combination of young, up-and-coming drivers mixed with seasoned veterans, superb announcers and pit reporters (we all miss you, BP!), the old aerodynamics package, the roar of the cars as they passed by...This was when Nascar was really Nascar and I miss it dearly. It's sad that this era is now ancient history and is gone forever, but I am so, *SO* glad that I lived to see Nascar during some of its brightest days.

Different exhaust systems. The headers/exhaust systems have changed since then, not to mention they only run pipes out the right side now, they ran them out both sides back in these days. If you go and find some qualifying sessions at the plate tracks in recent years (prior to 2013) you'll notice the penske dodges sounded just like these old cars, something i found neat and always enjoyed during cot plate quals :)

To this day I still can't believe Stewart didn't go with Labonte on the last lap

To me this was the perfect restrictor plate package. They could get huge runs with that wicker on top and the one they put on the spoiler and made the racing soooo good

A huge crash on the final lap and two or three guys racing back to finish line to win it. THIS is what NASCAR should be, none of that green white checkers crap
