2012 Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway | NASCAR Classic Full Race Replays

Relive the 2012 Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Who won? Well, we had to re-watch this one to find out because like most of you we only remember Tony Stewart's south paw helmet throw that landed square on the nose of Matt Kenseth's car.

Man I miss this roster... All these drivers. Early 2010's nascar was my favorite. I genuinely get sad watching this.

[@andrewputnam2717]

Me too man

Same here😔

I was at this race that night when Tony Stewart threw his helmet at Kenseth ..... Happened right in front of where I was sitting

[@calebrabon9]

My dad was there to and he said that the Tony throw happened in front of him to

That has to be one of the funniest moments I've ever seen LOL

The best race of the last decade, and an all-time favorite of mine. This race had it all

[@masonsebastian4741]

I've been looking for a hd version of this race for a long time

[@CarterCourtney]

Well now we fans/experts *finally* have it at last.

[@anthonydeloreto3881]

Yeah because the other full version of this same race is in 4:3 with 360p quality, & boy does it look AWFUL! 😫 Good thing NASCAR put this one out.

Holy hell, another great addition to the KZbin playlist of videos in the NASCAR landscape. One again, like the full Michigan race from that year, this isn't in HD anywhere on the platform, the only clips in HD are the Kenseth/Stewart crash & helmet throw and the finish of the race. Shouts out to NASCAR for the clutch upload 👌

[@joshuasweeney7864]

Germain always had random races where they’d have a great car, sucks they never got to put it together

They really did though😂

What about running you over with his car?

I know im asking randomly but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

RIP Jason Leffler

[@kzamart]

remember this one vividly. maybe I'm just nostalgic, but I really miss bestwick and espn's coverage..

[@tylerfarrar8980]

This is great. I’ve been looking through my old ticket and watching back all the races my dad took me to as a kid. I remember maybe big events or some things but being a kid at a race there’s so much going on I truly don’t remember much of the actual racing. We still got a couple of Darlington, Charlotte, Daytona, and a whole lot of Richmond’s to watch!

[@2015BLOXXER]

I wish espn broadcasts nascar one day I prefer it over nbc

The pit strategy in this race was awesome

This was my first start to end race I watched non-stop. Did about 45 more to today! So it’s kinda special for me.

Bring Kenseth to the #48 Mr. HENDRICK!

[@dustinchafi4433]

I totally agree with this too he would be a perfect fit in the 48 car

[@Nunyabidness20]

Right on! I HATED how Kenseth got forced out of the sport it was just not right at all, " He is one of the best to ever do it" Jeff Gordon said it not me so there it is. Go Kenseth 2021!🏁🏁🏁

Tony had no way of knowing if that helmet was going to come right back at himself and hit him right in the head. Sorta dangerous come to think about it

Hey Nascar admins, I don't know about what's happening right now, but since the truck series highlights at bristol, the videos are marked for kids. If you want to disable comments, just disable comments. No need to mark this video as for kids.

[@michaelhazen3153]

All they need to do is repave the track to 36 degrees of banking, just the way it was before the progressive banking, and the fans will come back. No more gimmicks in NASCAR. No more stages, lucky dog, and no more playoffs. The ideas Brian France Jr came up with in his drug induced haze haven't worked out. Any idiot should have known that they wouldn't.
