Can we appreciate the fact that Jeff Gordon and trip Murphy managed to cross the line either drifting sideways or on their roof

[@sonic_stickmin9510]

yes

[@TheCarson116]

Mhm: the latter kinda foreshadows Clint Bowyer coming across the line on _his_ roof some years later in the 2007 Daytona 500 (if Murphy actually finished: seems like his car came to a stop before crossing the line though, so that would be a DNF).

[@alecerdmann8505]

Herbie might be the most well-rounded race car of all time. Winner of numerous local races, a prestigious race at Riverside, the Monterey Grand Prix, the 2 day El Dorado Road Race, the Trans-France Race (basically Ralleye Monte-Carlo) in which he makes his final overtake on the roof of the Monaco tunnel, a junk car race, a NASCAR Cup race and a bull fight. Graham Hill has nothing on Herbie.

[@ChaosqueenMaddy]

Herbie > Jim Clark

[@Glooooooooed]

The true racing veteran

[@dukecraig2402]

The original Herbie was built by Max Balchowsky who built the legendary race car Old Yeller II, he's also the guy who prepped the 2 Mustangs and 3 Chargers used in the movie Bullitt. Check out the documentary on him and his race car Old Yeller II from Speedvision here on KZbin called The Max Balchowsky Story, it's truly inspirational.

A bit of a question with Trip and Maggie here. They’re in open face helmets for this race. Weren’t those helmets outlawed at this point in time or no?

[@TheCarson116]

Most underrated NASCAR film in history in my opinion (& least remembered for that matter): you always see people talking about Talladega Nights or Days Of Thunder, which are all well & good, but let's not forget good old number 53 either shall we? I like the fact that you described it as if it was an actual race, which I guess it technically _was._ Nice video! No joke: if I was the head of NASCAR & one of the teams brought a race-ready Herbie for approval, I'd approve him for competition, no questions asked (which for all we know might have been what NASCAR did here: just said "Screw it, let's approve him, what's the worst that could happen?").

[@boladefraile2301]

i think there was another problem which gets overlooked. you have drivers in arca, trucks, busch, busting their asses trying to get a ride in cup, showing/wanting to show what they can do in a competitive car. and then you have this woman, who didn't even began close to racing until weeks before this race, and then gets a ride in the cup series! maggie got a ride in cup just because she was the brother of ray jr., who was there just because he was a payton. if that's not the biggest example of nepotism, then i don't know what it's. sorry for the rant, i had to take this off my chest.

At least Herbie was a car with a driver. IndyCar let that that snail Theo (AKA "Turbo") race without a vehicle. I'm pretty sure it was way out of bounds to allow that, even if legendary five time Indy 500 champ Guy Gagné said it was OK.
