I miss 50+ car entry lists for the 500. Thanks a lot Brian

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

Because of what's happened this year I re-watched a lot of races/qualifyings (massive thanks to ppl like this uploaderand Dave W, and a whole heap of others - they're all legends) and at most of the races I've seen there are DNQ's. There was always too many cars and the stands were always full. Ive been boring people for years saying over and over that the South and particularly the South East was the backbone of NASCAR, take away the backbone and eventually the whole thing will collapse. Why would/should the South keep supporting an organisation that is moving further and further away from them? *anyone tried running with no backbone? Its tricky.

Last event to ever use the NASCAR ON FOX theme, starting with the 500 that year, other musical themes began to be used

[@santinopucheta1111]

Well.... in the 500 used that theme

[@TheLocalLt]

@@santinopucheta1111not as far as I remember, pretty sure “Let’s Go Racing Boys” took over as not only the intro but the theme song as well starting at the 500

It was a little more fitting having Clint in the Jack Daniels car. It was just comical seeing Casey Mears drive that thing.

Or anything else for that matter.

That’s Harrison Burton. Yes, THAT Harrison Burton.

What did Front Row Joe have that helped him qualify on the front row most of the time?

[@2jsalomon]

a badass name

[@christianloubardias6375]

@@2jsalomon No, I mean, what could he do that allowed him to qualify on the front row most of the time?

[@TanDawg58]

1:24:55 Furniture Row had to change the color of Kenny's number to green because from a distance it looked way to similar to Joe's 78

honestly watching this I think eric McClure should try to qualify for one more 500 he has 3 dnq's so the only other thing he can do is make the race.

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

Bob Said does bobsled! Also, LM, who is Patrick 'Compartier'?

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

Patrick Carpentier was a former standout in his home nation of Canada with the K&N Pro Series style cars from the Nascar Canadian Tire Series (now sponsored by Pinty's)

[@christianloubardias6375]

What do rookie drivers need to do before they can start racing in NASCAR?

[@jinjabreadman46]

They need to have run a certain number of races in lower tier series like ARCA, Trucks or Xfinity Series

[@67JLBlues19]

That weird time when a lot of Indycar guys decided to go NASCAR racing.
