hearing "the rookie Matt Kenseth" or "the rookie Dale Earnhardt Jr." makes me smile :')

[@RyanSheehan64]

Ken Squire- best broadcaster ever

[@dirtystockcardriver]

11 years later and I absolutely agree

[@tropicalcyclone100]

Was watching this late at night and I fell asleep at some point. Mike Joy yelling "OH, TROUBLE!!!" at 1:41:40 woke me up immediately.

[@quentinparhiala9415]

That's awesome

[@loganofan2278]

Sadly this would be Kenny Irwin Jr.'s last Cup race before his death at New Hampshire. His #42 car became the #01, then became owned by Chip Ganassi in 2001 and became the #41 in 2002.

[@brandynhenry7107]

Coverage is suppose to provide the framework, the canvas, the atomosphere, but the event itself needs to paint the picture, that's the difference. That's what CBS did well, Ken Squier couldn't be a better example of that. Way too much overanalysis and meddling by the current crews, hell that's the problem with all media in general today.

[@bleedorange1998]

This is how it should be. No mandatory yellows. Teams strategizing with each other. Strategized green flag pit stops. This is how it should always be. NASCAR needs someone in charge who really understands what the fans want. And it’s THIS.

[@NotSteveCook]

Someone with a VISION needs to be at the helm.

[@WhoopityDoo]

This is when NASCAR was worth watching, before Brian France got a hold of it.

[@brotherjoseph8344]

Actually Brian France took over halfway in the 2000 Daytona 500, I was there and it was announced over the radio and PA system.

[@TravisMSimpson]

@@brotherjoseph8344 That's weird because every article said Mike Helton was in charge and that Brian did not take command until New Hampshire in the fall of 2003

[@PsychedelicGuy]

I love when DARFs claim the good old days while the race is boring af especially compared to plate racing today.

[@CJPostal]

So much nostalgia here. Nothing better than watching the summer Daytona race.

@S2KINDYCAR Final Winston Cup race on CBS, their final broadcast was the Craftsman Truck Series from Nazareth July 15th, 2000.

[@chatteryy5668]

I was at this race, 8 years old! Seats on the backstretch and John Michael Montgomery had a pre-race concert, what a time to be alive

[@calvins6753]

I remember how the mandated shock package that year really made the Fords shine at Daytona. Watching Earnhardt be the only Chevy driver able to really contend just goes to show how damn good he really was.

[@pp3k3jamail]

Ford's also shine at Talladega that year also Mark Martin dominated the diehard Talladega race in 2000 but Jeff Gordon won the race.

[@edwardburch7939]

Seemed like the Chevy drivers weren’t thrilled about the spoiler design on the Monte Carlo / too much resistance & downforce competing against the Ford body & spoiler. Jeff referenced it in a post race interview after the 400.

[@negangains2684]

18:09 Start

[@RoddToes]

Something about the way CBS broadcast NASCAR, just made the sport seem better, it just added something extra to it, a special touch. Today, Fox, ESPN, and TNT have decent coverage, but nowhere near the glory days of CBS.

[@michaellowe17]

I miss CBS, they covered NASCAR with class.

[@NekoDarius]

Pontiac... One of the few respectable cars on the circuit back then.

[@pepsiguy52883]

Gordon had absolutely no help at all in this race and still got a top 10

Man i miss the way they used to sound, i miss when they actually had some HP i miss everything that NASCAR has destroyed.

[@packisbetter90]

I was there. Was 10 years old. Came all the way from Indy for it driving. Miss going to races when Nascar was at its peak with every race being a huge deal and sold out crowds everywhere with tracks still with all their stands before taking some down

[@sabastianmoore4774]

CBS should do some NASCAR races in Primetime including the Daytona night race

[@NP0UTLAW]

who knew that Micheal Waltrip, next time he would go back to Daytona, he would win the 500 while losing the man who gave him a break...

[@MegaSwiming]

It’s ironic

[@de31168]

It's on my channel. Feel free to watch!

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Amazing to think that for all their success, this was the first ever points win at Daytona for Roush Racing.

[@wimpman94]

Kenny Irwin's last NASCAR race

[@ME-im3ui]

Man I loved him. Watching speed TV. He was great!

2:19:33-2:19:49, "Jeff Burton won his first Sprint Cup race on CBS. He comes off turn 4 and he's gonna win the final Sprint Cup race on CBS. JEFF BURTON OVER RUSTY WALLACE, DALE JARRETT AND MARK MARTIN WINNING THE COKE ZERO 400!"

[@Nocstaa]

Kan Squier was that voice of God back then

[@iankhan4614]

Not to disregard any other race analyst, but no one else can come close to calling races like Mike Joy and Ken Squire.

[@Nocstaa]

That has to be the best virtual lap I've ever seen

[@ceeloaf4503]

I was at this race with my dad when I was 8 years old. We were both huge Bill Elliott fans. Really thought he was gonna win that night. We were sitting near turn 3, so we experienced Skinner dump him first hand. I was definitely not a happy camper after that lol.

[@ChampaBayBeast]

I'm not even a Elliott fan and I was there with my family and we still don't like Skinner after that.

[@captainbook2953]

What a sound these cars used make..COT and Gen 6 sound tame in comparison.

[@sickly9105]

This race needs more attention

[@aeromedical6750]

I was at this race, sitting about 20 rows up from the start finish line. Would have been an interesting finish if not for the late caution. Dale and Dale were hooked up and running the field down. The late caution did them both in.

[@TheBANANAMAL]

NASCAR in it's glory days. I don't care if I was 4 that year, I watched this race

[@christopherwilliams1558]

Good Ol' Days!!!

[@BowensBlvd]

In the intro they happened to say "and survive" as the camera shows turn 4. Scary in February of 2001 it was to come true

[@WhoopityDoo]

He's referring to two weeks prior to that, where he bumped Earnhardt out of the way at Pocono on the last lap to win. Was supposed to be taken as a joke.

[@michaelhartman683]

I always remembered CBS having excellent NASCAR coverage

[@nascage]

Yes!! I grew up watching NASCAR on CBS in the 80s. They used to broadcast the Daytona 500, the Michigan 400 & the fall Talladega race. Combine those races with the Firecracker 400 shown on Wide World of Sports, and I used to think the good ole boys ran just 4 races a year! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TravisMSimpson]

Tends to happen when you only have 4 races to cover

[@folzyfantasy15]

hard to believe that this not only was the last race at daytona and period for cbs, but also one of the last races with good commentary and with earnhardt finishing at daytona before his unfortunate accident in the daytona 500 the next year

[@purwantiallan5089]

I miss the 2000 NASCAR Gen 3 cars... especially during covid19.

[@icebergmaysjr]

Actually🤓☝️The cars from 1992 to 2007 are gen 4. Gen 3 r 80s cars

[@EricEbac22]

I really wish CBS and CBS Sports Network were calling races starting at Daytona with Speed Weeks and continuing through Sonoma, and then from there, NBC and NBC Sports Network called every race from the second Daytona race (Coke Zero 400) through Homestead. Better yet, I wish every network that has called races the last 35-40 years (CBS, The Nashville Network--though now it's called Spike TV--ESPN, ABC, NBC/NBC Sports Network, TBS, TNT, Fox/FS1, and FX) still had broadcast rights for at least a couple of races every season.

[@fatpatlives1998]

Not gonna be the same cause the people are different

I like that CBS station in Los Angeles of Southern California.

[@TracksideViews]

Much better than the Daytona 500 5 months earlier

[@rcnut5112]

He had them beat. Skinner King of wrecking. Bill u had them

[@continentalrcinglg]

Last Cup race on CBS, and the intro was some Survivor tie-in bullshit instead of a retrospective of their Cup coverage up to that night.

[@aidanztrainsnthingz]

1:46:52 Buddy says you could hear Skinner get out of the gas and from about 1:46:49 until he finishes getting in the back of Bill he sounds like he's running 3 quarters of a throttle. Also, everybody's checking up there because Mark Martin's almost in the grass and Skinner just didn't get on the brake quickly enough

[@IanGouki]

Anyone else here after seeing Jeff’s son win the 2024 Coke Zero Sugar 400? Like father, like son!

[@acewilliams7917]

I love the look of Ned Jarrett in the introduction.

[@vidEvWill]

Brian France got ahold of it because he is the son of the chairman, he don't have any experience, he is so detached. I even hear he wanted to own some soccer teams, a hockey team and his name has even popped up as a bidder for an NFL team.

No one should complain about the racing at Daytona and Talladega today after watching the first 3 RP's of 2000.

[@badcatmcconell1324]

Exactly. As the economy continues to go down nascar tickets continue to sky rocket. It is really nascars fault attendance to their races is so low now a days,nobody can afford the ticket prices.

Could you upload the 2001 Daytona 500 race? I would like to see it.

[@zanemarte9877]

Two people have it already. Complete coverage from the start of the pre-race or portions of the pre-race to the end credits including commercials that originally aired including from whatever the local FOX station you were able to watch. One of the uploads has a technical issue between lap 85-99.

[@badcatmcconell1324]

Its incredible how much fan attendance has gone down for these races. It looks like they are almost sold out for this race. Now a days they dont even open the back straight away stands for this race and the front stretch is only three quarters full. Its weird man,nascar is hurting.

[@aidanztrainsnthingz]

If you pause @ 1:41:40 mark you can see why Bill had to get out of the gas. Mark's almost in the grass. I miss when you could pass under the yellow line

[@Gmen2010champs]

So vintage lol I gotta say since CBS no longer does NASCAR events, Fox hands down has the best coverage, commentators and the best HD quality. I absolutely hate TNT's coverage. It's gonna be another long summer......

[@de31168]

@marcofaria17 You're welcome.

[@GusTheAnt]

At Daytona for the July race they usually dont open the back stretch stands. There have been a few years when they have, but for the most part they only sell those seats for the 500.

[@NT-cj1zj]

3:30 Dale Jarrett you wear the fire protection mask on the inside of your helmet buddy!

[@xSoccerxCorex]

that's actually a helmet skirt that drag racers wear. a lot of nascar guys wear it now as nothing more then an anti buffering device for radio communications. it provides no other benefit that a balaclava woul.

[@bradleybowen9738]

DIDN'T Jeff Burton dominate this race?!

[@chuckflynnjr]

With today's rules, Ricky Rudd who started second would have been black flagged at the start for changing lanes before getting to the start / finish line!
