2009 Coke Zero 400 - Tony Stewart Wins / Kyle Busch Hard Crash

Tony Stewart spins Kyle Busch on the final lap, to set up a spectacular wreck, and win the Coke Zero 400

[@ecardona53]

"HERE HE COMES THERE HE GOES KYLE BUSCH IN THE WALL OH MAH GAWD HERE COMES STEWART TO THE CHECKERED FLAG!!!" One of the best calls in NASCAR history, bar none.

[@JHockeyFan]

Them all yelling at the same time makes it the best call ever

[@drewc8534]

I still say "20 years of trying, 20 years of frustration..." was the best call in Nascar history, but this one was still good.

[@StayingBack71]

"Block me twice,your going up in the Grandstands"

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

Block me once, shame on you. Block me twice, shame on me.

[@TheRisingStorm316]

Peek-a-boo, I wrecked you.

[@Trainlover1995]

Stewart did not spin Busch. Kyle mistimed the block and hooked his right-rear bumper on Stewart's car. As Wally said at 1:46, "he may get turned for mirror-driving". And that's what happened.

[@AEMoreira81]

+BNSF1995 You get one chance at blocking, but not two. When Kyle made his second attempt, Stewart was already there.

I have always been a Tony Stewart fan ever since I was five years old, and I say this was an amazing finish.

[@lathansmith888]

Me and my family were at myrtle beach when this happened and I've been a stewart fan since I can remember me and my dad were jumping up and down. I miss memories like that its a shame he cant win anymore

[@-Darko-]

I was at this race. The crowd went nuts when Busch crashed and Stewart won.

[@LeviCPM]

You can tell. You can see them jumping and can hear but I assuming they were screaming like Oahhhhhhhh when the wreck started.

[@-Darko-]

@@LeviCPM I will never forget this race. Dale Jr. and Mark Martin both wrecked out early. Stewart was in the top 5 for almost the whole race. I thought Busch was gonna win for sure. But Stewart pulled an amazing move on the last corner. The only thing that kinda sucked was he didn't do a burnout at the end. I get why he didn't though. That wreck at the end was really bad and he stated that he didn't feel comfortable celebrating like that after a terrible crash even though it really wasn't his fault.

[@lasamoostang]

That was one of the greatest nights ever!

[@STICKGUYMB]

since then, Tony Stewart has been one of my favorite drivers, whether that was intentional or not.

[@julianrangel8123]

It wasn't Kyle Busch blocked once ok fine block again you get your ass In the wapl

[@Matt29FL]

Not only the best finish of the 2009 season, but the race that cost Busch a shot at the Chase.

"That's incredible!"

As a Stewart fan I'll just say, this is without a doubt one of my all time favorite finishes. At least top 3...Go Smoke 2012 4th Title On Its Way!!

[@airezzz1381]

That didnt age well...

[@_aragornyesyes_7171]

lmao

[@thanosmaster-abel559]

same here, i remember seeing this live as a young kid. the other memorable moment was his win in his subway car where the guy in the lead went under a certain line i think which nulled his win

[@TheMemeBorrower.]

This was the race that got me interested in nascar. And down the rabbit hole I went. Never looked back.

[@pintofnewcastle]

I was there yesterday, it was my first NASCAR race and I will NEVER forget it. It was incredible! I didn't know who to root for, my boss suggested Tony Stewart and that's who I had picked. So as of yesterday, I am officially a huge fan of Nascar!

[@ParasiteQueen1]

I remember this. Almost lost my voice when I saw Kyle spin...I was too happy.

[@jamesfoster481]

Incredible driving by Kyle though. How he kept that car on the bottom in 3 and 4 is insane

[@SammyMaggio]

Block me once, that’s okay. Block me twice, you’re going in the grandstands or you’re going in the wall.

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

Block me once, shame on you. Block me twice, shame on me.

[@michaeldeitch3642]

I’m surprised that no one gave Tony any shit for this, but people are mad at Austin Dillon for what happened with Almirola

[@oscartobaroatmeal6734]

I was like "NOOOOOOOO! Kyle is gonna win" until Tony turned him. "YEEEESSSSSSS!"

[@idontgetpaidenough3633]

I honestly didn’t care who won because I knew who would wreak

[@Whiskey696]

I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Kyle had such a beautiful car

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

When Kyle hit the wall, I was like "OH! THAT'S GOTTA HURT!", Then, when Kyle got that second hit from Kahne, I was like, "OOH! KAHNE GOT HIT AGAIN! THIS IS ANOTHER BIG ONE FOR KAHNE!", and when Logano hit Kyle in the door, I was like, "OH! DRILLED! RIGHT IN THE DOOR!", and when Kyle came out of the car, I was like, "Another happy landing."

[@tomsavage1122]

That was beautiful I could watch this 100 times.

[@tonyppe]

I WAS THERE! They collided right in front of us on the bend. I remember everyone looking where the pack was and there wasn't much noise. I see Tony try to take Kyle and they touched. I didn't know what to say I just roared with excitement and pointed and we all stood up. Amazing atmosphere and had a Great day. Fireworks came almost right after, can't wait to make another race sometimes soon :)

I love how after Kyle wrecked himself, you see Tony Stewarts pit crew jump of the pit wall going "YEA WE WON!!!" Then they see all the cars wrecking towards them and they run back over the wall going "Shit, GET OUT OF HERE!!!" hahahaha

[@IndyShepherd]

Tony Stewart had a great run coming into the last corner, and even if Kyle stayed low, Tony would have cleared him before the start/finish line.

[@hammondOT]

Such a sick finish and a sick call by the guys in the booth.

[@thatsilverrsx6973]

I was front row in that turn I was 8 years old and I still remember watching kyles car go up on top of the car that hit him in the rear end after he spun out I watched all of it go down in the last turn and I will never forget that moment

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

Tony Stewart: Sorry bro. Kyle Busch: LOOK OUT! Juan Pablo Montoya: HEADS UP, KAHNE! Kasey Kahne: OH NO! NOT AGAIN! (Minecraft pain sound)

[@noahpyke6091]

Tony didn't spin Kyle. Kyle came up on Tony and Kyle's right rear hit Tony's left front corner panel. You could see Tony's car shoot up the track a bit because Kyle came up not that Tony came down and spun him.

[@Maverick33]

The 2008 Amp Energy 500 finish is indirectly responsible for how the 2009 Aaron's 499 and 2009 Coke Zero 400 finished

[@SMIFFTV]

Classic Finish. And not only that, but we get Ralph Sheheen in the booth for it. Wish he;d kept the PxP spot permanently...

[@johnmack3497]

I'm a 18 fan, it seems like every year since 08 Kyle has done good, but crashed @ the end. This was definitely the craziest finish in years.

[@quentindiaz3554]

hey thats cool, who ur team?

[@Atticvs32]

Well, Smoke already drew up alongside, he sold Kyle a dummy, much like Brad K did with Edwards at Talladega that year - neither Busch, nor Edwards should have tried to block that late.

[@dolantho]

Tristan Ellis Music you don’t block late twice like that when you can’t make it in-front, you go side to side and race your line

@rudylexi8 I don't think so... I noticed it shows him trying to turn his car to the inside to get around the wreck after Kahne came down into the 44 and burton, he lost control for a moment and spun/ slid into the grass.

[@Nascartime]

I don't get why Kyle tried so hard to block off Tony. Kyle was going to win anyway .

[@ecardona53]

I don't know, would Tony have had time to slingshot

[@lancecurry7538]

I feel like it would've been a photo finish if Kyle hadn't been mirror-driving so much. He would've had a better time trying to win by just letting Tony sidle up next to him as they headed to the finish, but he had to make sure that no one was passing him. Hence he lost the win and 13 extra positions.

I think I was there but fell asleep at lap 100 or so and woke up going back to the car with my dad. He told me tony Stewart won and he had wrecked kyle Busch. Also, if any of you youtubers have seen the 2012 Bidweiser shoot out, like this If you are mad at Kyle busch.

[@TeamBombersportsUK]

Yeah I hear that. It would've been close, but Busch would've won it by about 3/4 of a car length. Typical Busch though. Well done Stewart!
