NASCAR Countdown: Top 10 last laps in NASCAR history

[@alexarenee249]

Ricky Craven and Kurt Busch at Darlington wasn’t even the last lap that made it so great. It was about the last 5 laps them swapping lead, doorin each other, bouncing off the wall and then the epic finish at the line

[@jrock878]

Kurt Busch won that one didnt he?

[@bigelile07]

@@jrock878 Craven. And Kurt didn't have any power steering.

[@alexarenee249]

smoke 14 yeah didn’t it break when they collided off 4 and that was why they couldn’t separate down the front stretch towards the line? Or some time before

[@bigelile07]

@@alexarenee249 He lost it with about 10 laps to go. Kurt had a pretty good lead at the time and that was why Craven was able to catch him.

[@alexarenee249]

smoke 14 ah you’re right, I remember that now! It’s been so long since I’ve seen this race. Thanks! 👍🏻

[@CitySlicker34]

What about the 2007 Daytona 500

[@foykarting9737]

Not gonna lie I looked that race up:(

[@degabruh_]

ty f you ain’t a fan then

[@lurkintomgaming397]

I was there and it was a completely amazing finish first race I ever been to I wish I could go back and relive that weekend every day of my life

[@hotdogs5265]

Yes. Was thinking the same thing

[@slimbrady6691]

Thats what I'm saying. That was the best Daytona 500 finish imo.

[@burritoes6447]

Recentcy bias much?

[@DerrickRG]

Yep.

[@andrew1181]

Martinsville 2018 (Round of 8)should be hear aswell as Charlotte roval

[@jasonstraight1320]

Maybe on a top 20 list. I'd add in Earnhart/B. Labonte's finish at Atlanta 2000 in there as well. Also, if Xfinity counts, the Darlington finish they had the day after the Busch/Craven finish was even crazier. And the finish at Michigan with KB blowing a tire, Suarez running out of gas, KB taking the lead back still with a blown tire, and then A. Dillon beating him back.

[@lurkintomgaming397]

You must be a new fan then if that’s what you think. Martinsville was solid tho but might not be top 10.

[@VictorDiaz97]

Watkins Glen should be #1. Both of those guys were on the edge of completely wrecking but kept it together for 3 ½ miles.

[@jacobevenson8702]

The audio and the video is a solid 5+ seconds apart from where it should be... Lmao

[@OhItsGibby]

Yeah I know. I found that out when Kurt bush won against Kyle at Kentucky. I was like what the hell.

[@captainredneck0683]

The 79 Daytona audio was way off!

[@TheMW2informer]

Jacob Evenson and I’ve seen that craven win in full HD before and in this video it’s bad quality

[@ohioandnortheastern]

Expeclty the charlotte the one before the 1979 daytona 500

[@litlbuff]

The MRN call on the Watkins Glen finish is much better than the television version. MRN knew the track was slick. T.V. didn't.

[@DerrickRG]

And Bestwick botched the entire last lap....

[@coreyh33]

MRN is by FAAAAR the greatest announcing in any sport. Love listening every week!

[@Nitro55555]

Where the heck is the ‘76 500 where Pearson and Petty wrecked in the infield? Or in ‘74 where Pearson did the slingshot pass?

It’s plural because that refers to the “Top 10 last laps” not to the number of laps left in a race. And even so, both of the finishes I mentioned could still be brought up for best last lapS.

[@whatincarnation95]

This is more of a "Top 10 Finishes" but who cares when you get to relive these moments!

[@AlexTurtle]

hi

[@dngnascar]

You always have the most positive attitude Carnation

[@SergioMenaGTS]

Love your positivism. Sadly we don't get to see that often in a NASCAR comments section

[@STICKGUYMB]

Nascar loves that shot of Kyle doing the crying gesture way too much

[@francescadelia946]

I know right

[@ddearing]

So do I!

[@RyTyme]

I don't think that finish should have been so high on their list, if included at all.

[@francescadelia946]

Yeah way too high on the list.

[@xKillionaire10]

Yall just jelous busch won it, go ROWDY!

[@ragnar0528]

The fact that people have so many version of their top finishes just goes to show how bloody awesome NASCAR racing truly is .

[@bigboiseagle5966]

Change my mind the MRN and PRN radio announcers make a finish 10x better

[@SergioMenaGTS]

Yep, I always mute my TV and listen to the audio in MRN's website

[@braydenfletcher8159]

Disagreed. I really enjoy Mike Joy, some of Rick Allen but my favourite NASCAR play-by-play man from the last 10 years was Allen Bestwick

[@DerrickRG]

@@braydenfletcher8159 Bestwick is absolute crap.

[@nathangrocholski2094]

Both the 2013 and 2014 Auto Club finishes were incredible. The final 10 laps of Logano and Hamlin duking it out and wrecking each other was insane. And then the final restart the following year had a five wide pass for the lead. Incredible!

[@jsowder19]

I was at the Kentucky race and it was amazing to see in person. So much energy at the track that night.

[@nate2137]

How is last weeks race higher than Atlanta 2001

[@christopherpettit2304]

Because it's best last laps, not best last 1/4 lap or finish.

[@Ab_Ismael]

Probably because there were 4 lead changes in the last lap and in Atlanta (2001) there wasn’t a lead change in the last lap

[@oifwarveteran]

Smoke vs Hamlin at Sonoma 2016?

[@orangebandanaboi48]

Is it just me or when the Busch brothers have a battle with each other or someone else for a race win,they create exciting finishes?

[@patsflysfan2]

Orange Striker Gaming Animations They’re like the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Many people don’t like them, but every SB they’re in is exciting.

[@nickdeluna8681]

The 1976 between David Pearson and Richard Petty in Daytona 500 that last few laps are spectacular!

[@beachbum23]

Her: Blow job or hand job? Jr: SLIDE JOB!!! I know these jokes suck

[@ryanmorrison3699]

There’s better options than a few of these more recent ones. 2001 EA Sports 500 was an epic last lap. 2005 Golden Corral 500, 2004 EA Sports 500. I could go on for eternity.

[@briancromartie3149]

EA Sports 500 from 2001 , was incredible. The Winston 500 from 2000, was even better.

[@81casperflip]

When the sport has been around for 70 years it's hard to do a top 10 of all time list.

[@coryroath604]

i love how many of these races my boy gordon in the 24 was in

[@stoneracing1778]

Chicagoland at two??? How. Chicago doesn't even belong in the top 10. Where's Martinsville fall 2018?

I'm sorry, what? No '07 500?

[@alabas4570]

Sorry, but, Kurt VS Kyle does not belong on this list... maybe top 30, like 28th.... and we all know it. It's just a hype-boost for recent events because of the lack of hypable recent events.

[@jrock878]

That was a good finish though.

I agree with this list! Some very memorable racing from all of those.

[@hengineer]

Daytona 500 in 07, Talladega in '10. Kinda crazy how many Kevin Harvick won

[@hopeless__-ut6tg]

2016 Xfinity race at Autoclub. Kyle Busch blows a tire while leading, loses the lead to Daniel Suarez, who then later runs out of gas on the backstretch and Kyle takes the lead back with the blown tire to only lose the race off 4 to Austin Dillon. THAT is worthy of being on this list.

[@demonracer2]

And how did the Roval not make the list?

[@Tomsbananacakes]

Hmmm, I see some other notable finishes that could've (and probably should have) made it on there ... You didn't include: 2007 Daytona 500, 1976 Daytona 500, 2017 Martinsville-2, 2018 Martinsville-2, 2012 Talladega-2, 2016 Sonoma (Smoke's last win), 2018 Charlotte Roval (first race on the roval), 1959 Daytona 500 (very first 500 ever ran), 1984 Firecracker 400 (The King's last win), 2000 Winston 500 (Dale Sr.'s last win) There are probably a lot more out there but that is what I could think of right now lol

[@BeastSports02]

What about the 07 Daytona 500, 76 Daytona 500, or 2018 Roval? Those were some of the best, idk how 2016 Phoenix is in here

[@DupontandLowesWarrior]

1984 Pepsi Firecracker 400 and 1989 Holly Tyson Farms 400 should be here

[@epfrisco8910]

There is just way to many great finishes in nascar history to make a top 10 out of it

[@Ob1tuber]

That was over 5 laps

[@RobertLandrum13]

I use to hate road coarse races back in the 90s and 00s but now with the state NASCAR is in, road coarse tracks produce the best racing there is. NASCAR needs to quit screwing with the aerodynamic packages and put the driving back in the driver's hands. Drivers and fans have been saying it for years yet NASCAR is slowly dying because of their stubbornness.

[@ZekenStreak]

Was that a tire rub or was Kurt spinning the right rear??

Roval had just a stellar last few corners and Martinsville falls under the same as Bristol 95, 99.. A bumper to move the leader doesn't mean it's a great whole last lap. Darlington gets 1 because it was basically the final 5 laps.

[@mr.zombie3221]

Christopher Pettit at Martinsville they had Truex taking the lead having small contact when Logano then bumped him but still roval had a spin and then every turn Johnson got closer and closer until he spun in the chicane
