2005 Subway 500

2005 Subway 500
Martinsville Speedway
October 23, 2005
The 2005 Chase for the NEXTEL Cup has past the halfway mark as they run the traditional fall race at Martinsville. Jeff Gordon missed the Chase, but that didn't prevent him from his usual winning ways, getting his first win with new crew chief and now NBC commentator Steve Letarte. It was emotional as it marked one year after the Hendrick Motorsports plane tragedy that occurred at Martinsville.
The race set a record for cautions in a fall Martinsville race at the time with 19. Michael Waltrip had one of his bad days here, getting collected in at least 3 caution flags. Kurt Busch had another one of his angry moments as he got a one-lap penalty for rough driving, spinning out Michael Waltrip.
Due to tape constraints, some sections of the race are skipped, but I hope that I didn't take out any of the cautions.

First race aired after NBC confirmed they would not return to NASCAR after 2006. They wouldn’t air another NASCAR race until 2015 after 06

It was baffling what happened to Tony, he was as untouchable as it gets then suddenly had nothing for Jeff on old tires

[@budamania1989]

Thanks for putting this up

[@danielelliott95]

I was there. One of the best days of my life.

[@evandouglass9039]

One of the first races I went to too. I was in turn 3 fairly close to the track

[@evandouglass9039]

Really good day for my brother and I too as he was a Gordon fan and I was a Stewart fan and they finished 1-2

Nascar 07 lightning challenge Bobby Labonte(In the race he was in the 18 Interstate Batteries Chevy for his final four races with JGR,but in the challenge he was in the 43 Cheerios Dodge for Petty Enterprises) as the player has a chance to recreate history by dropping into Labonte's 43 dodge on the restart to pass the three musketeers to win on the paperclip for Petty Motorsports. More Points 2:08:56

Man being under commercial break when the green flag drop is crazy work 😭

[@kylewagoner]

lol wild that they're playing some blink-182 deep cut on the opening.

[@tombradysr.8048]

I miss these body styles

[@John-wk7gj]

These were the best body style NASCAR ever had.

[@timothyhowardforthepeople8863]

Awesome

[@AlonsoRules]

Carl lost the Cup in this race. He had the best Chase outside of this race.

[@mattr.8470]

Yea Stewart was seeded 40 points ahead of Edwards when the chase started and won the title by 35 points over him. So yea Edwards had the best last 10 races this season

[@The_Diesel4]

Man they need to bring these cars back for a weekend and see how everyone racing now drives them
