2006 UAW Ford 500 - Finish

The final 10 laps of the 2006 UAW Ford 500, from the final restart to the checker flag falling.
Not the most thrilling finish by any means, but easily one of the most controversial until the 2008 Fall finish

Eh the current cars still sound pretty well, the gen 4 sounded great, no doubt about it. The plate sound of those cars was but iconic. but I feel like people throw a bit too much praise to it and give too much shade on the sound of the current ones.

@@danielrivera2105 nah, the praise is well deserved. That sound is literally the reason i looked forward to EVERY plate race up until 2008 when the cot came out. (well, technically the fall '07 race, but you know what i mean). The sound was everything. I still go back periodically and watch the old qualifying sessions from '96 to '07 at all the plate tracks JUST to hear the high pitch whine. The current ones are decent.. but c'mon. Its not even really close at all...

+Freshh LK Gives me goosebumps because I grew up with that noise whenever they headed to Daytona and Talladega. Really not a big fan of them going single file along the wall the final 10 laps though, and they don't make a move until the final lap. Only reason why the racing on Sunday was insane was because A.) Junior wrecked out and killed Amelia and B.) Rain could have hit at anytime as soon as they crossed the cross flags with 94 laps completed. Rain was I think 10-20 miles away when Keselowski took the checkered-flag to complete lap 188. Also miss the NASCAR on NBC/TNT theme music used from 2004-2006.

Oh yeah, I miss that noise. The only reason it changed was because before 2007 they used dual exhaust pipes that came out both sides. After the COT and still today they decided to just have the exhaust come out the right side and not both. The tone also comes from the fact they only got up to 7500 RPM's with the plates, while today they are doing 8500-8800 all the way around on the plates (plus tapered spacer comes into play).

DRT71 Because it doesn’t have a splitter, the tires fill out the wheel wells because they aren’t sucked to the ground, you can see the cars suspension working instead of bouncing like they are on struts/solid suspension. They look more balanced with more over hang in front of the front wheels.

He led at the white flag 7 times at Talladega, and came back around and won. (His four-consecutive, Fall 2004, and Spring 2015).

[@Shawn6751]

I haven't really followed that statistic. He still has it and he can run his JR Motorsports and run part-time in the cup series. He led over 100 laps at Richmond and won a stage race this season in the Xfinity Series with nearly one year out of the car. I honestly think that he has the resources and the talent to pull a Mark Martin. He has a daughter to impress and build the memories like he did with Dale Sr when he was a kid. I'm looking at him as what his dad would do if he was in retirement. I doubt that we will never see Dale Sr stay in retirement if he was still living.

Seems like the single file issue at Talladega has been an on and off issue since the repave. That and it seems like no one wants to make the move with the possibility of losing positions.

[@FallingPicturesProductions]

+SUPEREEVEEMASTER Yep. I'm still pretty darned amazed when people complain about the recent series of dull single-file finishes at Tally in the last few years. It isn't usually an issue of drivers unwilling to move though, as much as it is that a line just can't form. It's been even more evident since 2012, since the tandem drafting was forcibly removed without consideration of general aerodynamics and drag.

[@SUPEREEVEEMASTER]

Falling Pictures Productions If you take away the last 20-30 laps of the 2015 Spring Talladega I think the current plate package that was implemented at the beginning of 2014 has been good. As someone who started watching in 2007 but has seen several older races I wish we could use something similar to when the cars had a wickerbill on the roof along with the other minor changes back in late 2000 and 2001. Not only was it easier to pass but you didn't always need the help of ten cars behind you to get to the front. You'll rarely see a parade but that's just my opinion.

[@TheLocalLt]

Falling Pictures Productions Tandem drafting was NOT forcibly removed from the Cup series! They can still tandem if they want (Ragan/Gilliland at Talladega in 2013 for example). It’s just harder with the gen6. But it’s ONLY banned in Xfinity and Trucks
