The cars from 2002 to 2006 looked so good

[@Entropy_91]

No stages, no gimmicks, just racing the way it should be.

[@Yew-Tyewbe]

I bloody love America and NASCAR! I’m from the UK and one day will witness a Daytona 500 in person…I hope

[@tigerguy1013]

Dale Sr upstairs: that’s my boy

[@TheBaseballLiker]

NASCAR was truly thriving at this time. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing something NASCAR-related. People were so enthusiastic about it.

[@TheMW2informer]

This was the first nascar race in full HD

[@anthonyruggiero1988]

I just realized that Kyle Busch ended up going from driving Terry Labonte's old number to driving Bobby Labonte's old number

[@jlol3869]

this is what Nascar should be like. not the polically correct corporation, it is today.

[@DARC-87]

I love Michael Waltrip. Just love the genuine warmness that man has for life. He's been in some horrific crashes, at least horrific looking. Just someone that I just smile when I see or hear him.

[@malikdigger4544]

One my favorite Dale Jr Budweiser paint schemes ever.

[@mccarly3258]

It just hit me how much I miss BP in the booth. That guy was one of the best.

[@XxMrManxX9451]

Ah, the glory days of Nascar. Now it’ll never be the same

[@zachhatten261]

God I miss the sounds of those X-Pipe exhausts, cars not ripping themselves apart in the grass, and the beautiful voice of Alan Bestwick

[@EMDSD40T2]

My wife was in the hospital the week before after giving birth to our twins, being superstitious I parked on level E all week when visiting her and the babies. That Sunday was a special day, bringing home our twins and seeing my favorite driver win.

[@ryanstreuli9554]

Love the 00s cars, bring back memories

[@alexmaclean1]

This was a really solid era of racing. Maybe not the best decade, but the best one of the 4 I've been around for. Too bad we couldn't go back to this no stages, no playoffs, just racing. One thing from today that should stay is GWC finishes instead of caution finishes, but otherwise, go back to this.

[@bhp2488]

Love these old races! Keep'em coming NASCAR!

[@ryanmurray1166]

Dale Jr won that race for Dale Sr, he deserves that win

[@EZZMONEY]

That 8 car was a beast in that race, all the help kept getting behind Tony leaving JR all alone and he STILL passed them

[@kevinpernod9336]

Jr in victory lane pulling confetti off his back, "what's going on here, it's like a magic trick".
