2005 ITT Industries & Goulds Pumps Salute To The Troops 250

[@iBolt07]

35:36 "JJ Yeley, just a matter of time before that young man wins a race" Little did we know that 19 years later he would hold the record for the most NASCAR starts without ever winning a race.

The final Busch race at Pikes Peak :(

[@davidpeters2625]

Yeah... you know Roger Penske bought ISC, if he really cared about restoring the tracks (Kinda like what Rockingham is going through right now), he’d have put THOUSANDS, of private money into renovation, and also would’ve bought the track from the cheapskate idiots that own the track... and I’d jump in my truck, in a heartbeat for a cross country trip to Pikes Peak...

[@grizzstud22]

Man its a shame nascar has a no compete clause, this track was/is badass

[@Ndawg88]

I live 5 miles from this track. Go there almost weekly for work. God I miss Nascar Racing here. 😭

[@davidpeters2625]

Hopefully the Xfinity Series comes back, there within the next few years, It would sure beat one of the crappy Xfinity races at Pocono buy a long shot, could you imagine a fully renovated, as if it were brand spanking new, given the fact that MTJ won a championship for a team based in Denver? (R.I.P Furniture Row Racing, wish you were here)....

[@Ndawg88]

@@davidpeters2625 right! It would be so awesome. I’ve run laps on it, and it’s a fun track, needs safer barriers in order to host a top 3 series, but I mean even arca would be awesome. Start slowly bringing racing back

[@Griffdawg]

I miss Pikes Peak so much. Thanks for uploading.

[@JungMeezy]

Me too. I was at this race

[@davidpeters2625]

They need to come back to Pikes Peak for the Xfinity and Camping World Truck series...

[@SMIFFTV]

IRP, Rougemont, Dublin, Myrtle Beach, South Boston, Nashville, Pike's Peak, Oxford Plains, Martinsville, Rockingham, Nazareth, Hickory, Lanier......SO MANY great tracks left behind. Sad.

[@michaelugwueke6312]

At least Gateway is still alive in the trucks

[@michaelugwueke6312]

Also I really want Memphis back on the schedule

[@michaelugwueke6312]

And the Milwaukee mile

The ITT Industries Systems Division/Goulds Pumps "Salute to the Troops" 250, presented by Dodge.... The longest NASCAR race name prior to the one Brickyard 400 with a collaboration between Crown Royal and Big Machine Records.

[@michaeldeitch3642]

I can’t believe how sold out this place got

[@davidfstanford]

Fans supported this place, which makes it all the more baffling that ISC decided to shut it down. There isn't another big track in the whole time zone.

[@Jakereisman11111]

I was there for the 2004 Busch race and that place was a party

[@TravisMSimpson]

allegedly track held 62,000. only 46,000 reported by Racing Reference.

[@christianjames12]

Christian visited this track a few months ago, and it’s sad to see it go.

[@shelbysolko7783]

This was David Green's last career Xfinity series win.

[@christianjames12]

My sons home track :( 😢

[@racermac1988]

The SPEED intro theme, on a TNT race where AB completely flubs the intro as to give NO sponsor mention.

[@TravisMSimpson]

I wouldn't want to say all that.

[@TravisMSimpson]

@@shaneharrisnj3484 I'm not even sure what that is

[@TravisMSimpson]

@@shaneharrisnj3484 What is your opinion of the racing at Pikes Peak?

[@jackarmstrong7285]

Can nascar come back to ppir please?

[@davidpeters2625]

And IndyCar too? That would be the icing on the cake, cause every year both NASCAR and IndyCar raced at PPIR, tickets sold like hot cakes.. and knowing, that Furniture Row Racing won a cup series championship, a few years ago, based in Denver, it’d be insane to see how many people come there for a NASCAR and/or IndyCar Race... mind boggling

[@tomdalfonzo9959]

Two questions I have. Why did Pikes Peak shut down? Also, why did Pikes Peak never host a Cup race? The Cup Series in Colorado, though 91 miles from Denver, would be a good fan draw.

[@davidpeters2625]

The best I can explain: Bully Smith of ISC bought the track and shut down the track, and it was revealed that Roger Penske wanted to build a track in Aurora, but that never did materialize…

[@tomdalfonzo9959]

@@davidpeters2625 Bully Smith owned SMI.

Why is TNT using the Speed Channel theme?

[@TDDDDDDDO]

Wait... yeah

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

@@TDDDDDDDO this was a SPEED rerun. Same went with the 2005 Pennsylvania 500, but SPEED's theme was replaced by Fox's.

[@SilentDanDisney]

That Intro with The Eagles Life In The Fast Lane and Hoobastank Same Direction. I love it. They could’ve had a Cup race here. Denver market.

[@TravisMSimpson]

It's an hour and a half south which is too far from Denver for the France family's liking. More than likely they will be running on the old Champ Car Street Course near Pepsi Center or whatever the Nuggets call it now.

[@cjdionisi5590]

Can you upload the 2004 kroger 200 from irp if you have it
