2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 - Final 8 Laps- Call by MRN

Featuring an alternate angle of the finish. I uploaded this a few years ago with really bad quality with music in the background. Here's a better one now that I have the raw audio of the race.

20 years later and I still stand by my statement that this finish saved the Lady in Black.

[@brandoncastro6731]

Unfortunately I didn’t see the finish live but I remember that I was sitting in my parents’ car in a Walmart parking lot listening to this. When I first seen the highlights I was absolutely amazed! STILL my favorite finish of all time.

[@johnlaws9853]

You want to see the greatest finish of all times, check out the 1974 Firecracker 400!!

[@schoolcraftT]

It’s up there as far as the closest finishes in nascar history.

[@allenduncan111]

The good ole days!

[@crpearson2004]

I dont know why... but after watching this, I was in tears at the finish. Maybe because of my nostalgic love of NASCAR.

[@sethwilkins8989]

Gotta love the huge Powerade bottle on the car in Gatorade Victory Lane.

[@christopherwilgus7475]

One of the greatest finishes ever!

[@TonyM132]

Gotta like a Pontiac beating a Ford to the finish in the Dodge Dealers 400. This was the third year of Dodge's return to the Cup series if I recall correctly.

[@luisy.gonzalez6469]

A classic.

Was There ! 😊

Miss Darlington I was Ricky Craven fan always been a Pontiac fan

[@DirtyBallsPodcast]

oddly out of character for kurt to enjoy all that

[@xmbdesign7421]

Why? ANY racer would love to be part of a finish like that.

[@xmbdesign7421]

@@goradkeselowski1076 No I've watched NASCAR my whole life. I'm a racer myself. That's the kind of battle ANY racer would want to be part of, win or lose. Kurt, belive it or not, didn't act like a punk 24/7. He understood the greatness of that moment and embraced it.

[@tnwhiskey68]

@@xmbdesign7421 he still complained about missing an input, he just acted like he thought he was supposed to. You know his ass was chapped about the loss!

Fast Forward 21 Years and The Record for The Closest Finish in NASCAR History gets broken

[@JRE87]

I listened to this race on the radio and it did not give it the proper justice

[@sprinterofblack8186]

Better than FOX's call

[@sethwilkins8989]

Definitely. MRN is the best.

[@WhiteHatBobby]

Both were 110%. Both television and radio calls are now legendary. When the lead commentator in radio and television both have MRN backgrounds, Barney Hall trained Mike Joy and sat next to him for years. For me, I was headed to (now) Dr. LaRoche's voice studio and listened to the finish on MRN. And listening to the finish as I parked my Chevrolet truck in the studio had me giddy. The fact that the television booth watched the finish out of their window was evident. Today's modern commentary is "watch the screen". Joe Moore and Mike Joy are legends and both were on the button.

[@Dfalevitch]

Can you do the finish to the 2016 homestead race when Jimmie wins

[@kyled4182]

Dylan Falevitch yesss please 😆

[@kyled4182]

Dylan Falevitch that would be awesome 😃

[@JustinNYCode3.]

OMG AWESOME

[@oldschoolnascardude1]

Just curious - Do you tape these broadcasts?

[@nascargavin8]

Pre 2010, I find them here and there. 2010-2012 i recorded here and there. 2013-2017 I have almost every race from the top 3 series.

[@oldschoolnascardude1]

nascargavin8 There's no way you send out files, do you? I really need the 2017 Ford Ecoboost 400 audio, for my own personal gain.

[@kyled4182]

Will you upload the MRN call of the 2016 homestead race? Would love to hear that one! 😁

[@nascargavin8]

Kyle Danielson I have the Edwards incident already uploaded. :)
