NBC did a good job at covering The Daytona 500 when they had it 2002, 2004 & 2006. I hope they cover it again.

[@Jose-Gomez]

Yeah. Because, FOX, Is Screwing Up Everything, Especially Messing Up The DAYTONA 500 Coverage.

[@codymiller182008]

Won’t be for the foreseeable future

[@Intangedous1]

Underrated race and year. The plate races especially were really good.

[@mattforbes5808]

Little late but I couldn’t agree more

[@andrewhayes88]

It was a dull looking race day. Low, dark grey skies, constant drizzle of rain and it was the first time the race ended at full darkness. Never really enjoyed the 500's that was scheduled to end at night between 06 and 09. It was good racing though. Thanks for the upload

[@andrewhayes88]

+bobalose3and88 I never said that the racing or the finishes were bad in those years. I just enjoy daytime Daytona 500's and night time July Coke Zero 400's more.

[@razburry8001]

You may be wrong, I fucking love Daytona 500 racing at night, especially 2012 where it was all night

[@soxnpats4lyfe]

2007 finish is one of the more exciting endings

[@f1fan112]

I love the 500 ending under the lights... I think the impending darkness raises the stakes. As it gets darker, the action kicks up. To be fair, this is my favorite Daytona 500 simply because of the factors that made this race different. Notice how it wasn't a giant pack race the whole time. Handling was a giant factor in this race. Plus, the environment made the race look intimidating. It was such a dark and gloomy day, that it kind of made the Daytona 500 look more prestigious.

[@NotSteveCook]

This is when NASCAR started moving more races to a later start and finish to try to get the prime time TV audience. This is also when TV ratings started to drop from their absolute peak from 2005. One of many examples of how Bri-guy kept fixing NASCAR until he broke it.

[@bluebird6327]

I liked the race it was a fun race day to watch but I was not even born but to put the replay on thanks and now my favorite J.J won his first Daytona 500 on 2006

[@gunnypat29]

thank you for putting this race on.

[@TravisMSimpson]

I like this graphics package over any that has been used in NASCAR.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

A crossroads 500- First race to end at night, first race in decades without Ricky Rudd/Rusty Wallace, the debut of the Ford Fusion, and so many driver changes (All 3 Ganassi cars had different drivers from yr before, Kurt Busch/Jamie Mac)

[@taylorclouse7636]

And first rain race

[@cjlaw7560]

And also first race and win for monte carlo SS

[@TheRacingGenius88]

Sadly the last Daytona 500 to air on NBC.

[@Jose-Gomez]

​​@@TheRacingGenius88Yeah. Crappy FOX, Destroyed The DAYTONA 500 Brodcast. Since NBC Is Staying, NBC Needs To Broadcast The DAYTONA 500 Every Year, Like They Did From 2002 To 2006.

[@sebastianalejandrosilvamol9252]

Fue la última Daytona 500 que no se transmitió en Fox Sports

[@killereaglez8115]

Nascar needs this back!!awsome music

[@sandiegotrafficlightstrain354]

Good old days when NBC broke in from commercial when a crash happened. I also remember all that talk about Waltrip abandoning Jr, and he had to do it all on his own at Daytona. He could of won the Daytona 500 and Uaw Ford 500 at Talladega if he had help from anyone.

[@dannyblock5267]

You might have noticed one of the songs used this promo for the 2006 Daytona 500 for NBC was Click Click Boom the song would be the winner this past week for The Rod Ryan Show in 'Houston for 94.5 the Buzz's throwback Thursday. I just thought you'd know that.

[@MovieLover1995]

2:03:22. “LOOK OUT!!!” That always has me laughing.

[@__deebzz__]

@GN Well of course

[@TravisMSimpson]

Bill didn't realize they were back from break sooner than normal. He was doing a typical reaction for being at break.

[@justinturley7071]

I don’t think it’s that funny. You can hear the dread in his voice. That was the scary part, it’s very surprising that Kinsey’s missed everyone. So Weber had as much of a natural reaction as anyone else in that situation. So, Weber was like we were expecting Kenseth to get absolutely destroyed by every car.

[@Ally_Rayne6]

Man do I miss the Vavoline winning moments

[@DumpedClutch]

Darian Grubb won the 500 with Jimmie thats nuts

[@rhys3089]

[@everly-shadystudios9900]

@@TravisMSimpson yeah. If nascar embraced what got them popular in the first place rather than being something there not they would be in a much better place. I mean it’s not all doom and gloom. Ratings have steadied and even rose over the past year

[@TravisMSimpson]

@@kcksutx4816 yeah but 4 million average on the main channels and 2 on the back up channels compared to when they had from what I understand an average of 10 in the 2000s. There is a reason the races start when they do, ratings show the networks NASCAR isn't really worth their time anymore. Everyone talks about the crappy coverage of FOX and NBC, basically the networks are sabotaging their coverage on purpose because they don't care. We saw the same thing with TNT and ESPN

[@kcthatsawinner]

36:30 This is the same Fergie who botched the National Anthem at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, exactly 12 years after a flawless rendition at Daytona...if she performed well at Daytona in '06, how come she messed up at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game? Inquiring minds wanna know...

Hard to believe more than 10 years ago NASCAR had full stands and good racing, now its all just one big J.O.K.E to quote Kurt Busch.

[@frankjr5813]

That's not how that works. The pit stalls are picked by the teams. The pole winner picks 1st. They dont always take the end stall.

[@taylorclouse7636]

@Squirrel thanks for explaining the rules to me I always thought that the pole sitter picked the first pit stall

Yeah, after all that talk all week about people keeping their heads and don't be aggressive until the end, and then he goes out and has many altercations with several drivers. I think he said after the race Kenseth bumped him earlier, but the replay showed he got loose all by himself.

Fergalicious; she should sing the anthem at ALL the races as well as the Pledge (her right hand covering her heart), _God Bless America_ and leading a long, direct pre-race prayer along with 10 minutes of memorial silence for fallen NASCAR personnel straight after the pledge (that's how long her hand will remain on her heart). 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
