Jimmy Spencer leading in that 7 car was pretty impressive.

The Kenny Schrader 1-800-CALL-ATT/ Carrot Top paint scheme is one of my all-time favorites.

NASCAR considered postponing this race due to the start of the War in Iraq

[@pandaexpress7326]

Abbas Ladak they knew everyone wanted to see it

[@jabber1990]

@pokemon56761 that is LITERALLY what the first interview was about (the one with Mike Helton)

[@Weezy10580]

20 years later we all know it was a for profit war at the sacrifice of innocent American soldiers

[@deletedaccount966]

2:06:00 smoothest ad-restart transition

[@111abcdefghijklm]

I'm beginning to know why they miss the old Bristol. That stuff is awesome to watch.

[@Odin3v]

It sucked. 1 lane, follow the leader on the bottom. But boomer Gen X nostalgia is what matters right, you remember it being better just because it was your time.

[@SUPEREEVEEMASTER]

59:10 I don't know how many voted but that result shows that for years many fans have been wanting more short tracks.

[@jabber1990]

and then they finally added one in 2022...and then fans bitched about it ...yet looked the other way when they took one away the year before....weird

[@NOSSCARSeriesRacing]

This is my favourite race track of all-time! The NOSSCAR drivers love racing here. It's definitely an action track.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Even thought other drivers won poles that year, it felt at times a bit surprising when Ryan Newman didn't capture a pole in 2003. I mean, 11 poles? With this new qualifying format, we'll never see anything close to Newman's pole dominance again.

[@NotSteveCook]

Also, given Roush's subpar performance over the last several years, it's highly unlikely The Rocketman will be on the Pole again. But I remember when he was most often the favourite in qualifying.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

The last race with the old black bowtie UPS Logo on Dale Jarrett's car (between Bristol and Texas, UPS changed the logo).

[@osurocks24]

I miss the old UPS logo. It was classic UPS.

[@evanwilliams6406]

New Fast Logo!

[@d-raypunrox5245]

Congrats to kurt busch on winning his 2nd food city 500 .. This was a good race . Jeff Gordon and dale jr had really fast cars ..

[@ateddybear1392]

That strategy almost worked out for Harvick.. He’d have needed a yellow later than it happened, but he’d have been the leader by a good ways..

[@tristan7570]

Miss those retro fox openings, "stand by me"

NASCAR Winston Cup Race #2000.

[@xKalamity]

poor old kyle petty was having a great run one moment and going to the hospital the next

[@icedemonking92hammer83]

The park where Mike joy said Alan was going to be the only champion driver and owner that changed 2011

[@jamex98]

this 2003 fall race in Bristol i thnk that wasnt be a more physicality, carnage, wrecked car torned up and it feels how its roughly race was such an action

[@mesousagaby740]

Only in Bristol can the car that spins you from behind...can stomehow have said car wreck right in the back of the car who spun that car. ...What a zen riddle that was.

[@stancarr1131]

My first Bristol race

[@pat02537]

3:06:46 is why NASCAR throws the yellow for simple spins now

[@Ibelikemj]

They also don’t race back to the caution anymore.

[@SuperSkyShock]

NASCAR's 2000th Cup Race! :)

[@우구-k2b]

1:03:02 what is that music?

[@sleffew49]

How the heck did Schrader qualify 3rd in the BAM Racing car?

[@fogalicious2644]

They were really good on short tracks with Schrader.

[@User-nu6km]

jimmy spencer even took the lead from gordon

[@JJA1987]

Schrader has always been a pretty damn good Short Track Racer

[@NotSteveCook]

Because the money factor wasn't as important as it is now, and Schrader is very experienced.

What was going on in the world during this weekend in 2003.

[@NOSSCARSeriesRacing]

Who ever "thumbed down" this video needs to keep their negative feelings to themselves.

[@Foolskii]

Yeah that'll show em

[@NotSteveCook]

Probably someone who was confused by Winston, Pontiacs, and the lack of stages

[@eliaspolychronopoulos4333]

1:00:22 I live for those types of shots.

[@kainhall]

2:53:00 i think he hurt his back / shoulder..... . it looks like the seat's left side head "pad" dug into his back/shoulder because he didnt hesitates.... then sits back down...... and then has his hands in a wired "way".... . almost like he was going to grab his shoulder / back...... but knows that if he did that on TV..... it would not look good

[@kainhall]

"this is how.....TIGHT.... it can be" then "but thats the idea of...SHARP INHALE... havin a really tight...."

[@kainhall]

2:52:55 that REALLY puts Dale Jrs crash in perspective (the one where people think his dad/god helped pull him from the car) . now, like anything, im sure you get quicker at it with practice..... especially if you are on fire but that seat takes up half the room......

[@beauhughes1285]

I think it’s funny at 1:48:58 both car’s were spun by their own teammates

[@franckbertrandbooh8798]

Whenenever for race championship

[@BengtsonJ]

2:33:50 is why they banned cars from returning to the Race after getting repaired in the Garage.

[@bduddy55555]

15+ years later, that was the cause?

[@vasilkaaleksieva161]

He said jail jarret

[@Weezy10580]

Calm down baby

[@kainhall]

2:48:46 ive never understood how the outside car will just stay planted and the inside car just bounces off like a "super bounce" ball . even in the video game....NASCAR racing 2003.... the same thing happens . i try to wreck someone like Dale..... and just end up giving him a "boost".... and wrecking myself inside, outside, front tire, rear tire.... he stays planted..... and i bounce off and ping-pong the outside and inside walls like 11 times . . . . . also.... if you like video games / simulators and ya like NASCAR and ya also have a force feed-back steering wheel...... download nascar 2003 (its free.... as its so old, no one will sue you for downloading it) . a logitech G27 + nascar 2003 + a few cold ones + a few rolled ones = a TON of fun . . its seriously the BEST nascar simulator ever made (which is really sad.... ) these modern NASCAR games for the X-box just suck..... call themselves a sim.... but are even easier than "out-run" at the arcade.... . NASCAR 2003 is a HARD CORE racing sim better than 99.86% of modern "racing simulators".......... nascar, F1, or rally

[@kennethbartels1871]

Heavy on the hair dye DW jeez....remember this time America was pissed..trillions of dollars and thousands dead later.....

[@MJForever1999]

Honestly the 01 deserved to wreck... 3 wide at Bristol?

[@Ibelikemj]

He was 4th place and both those guys were laps down. I understand why Nadeau was mad lol
