Who's here after Daniel Suárez gutted out an insane win in Atlanta by .003

Who’s here after Larson won by less than what they could score????

8/10 of these are on FOX. FOX has had some damn good moments for sure.

This is for Cup races only. The closest finish in Cup is 0.002 of a second (Darlington 2003, Talladega 2011). The closest in Xfinity is 0.0004 of a second (Daytona 2018), and the closest Truck finish is 0.001 of a second (Colorado 1995). Several races have been decided by 0.010 of a second: Atlanta 2000, Rockingham 2004, Phoenix 2016, and the 2016 Daytona 500. They actually missed a race: 2007 Pepsi 400 at Daytona saw Jamie McMurray edge Kyle Busch by 0.005 of a second.

*I WANNA SEE THAT XFINITY FINISH!!!*

[@Nut-ei6iw]

I think the truck finish was actually 0.0001, but I could be wrong.

[@mwhite3870]

That Jamie mcmurray finish is lowkey slept on that finish was pretty close

[@JohnWilkesBased]

Good info. Thanks. 👍🏻

Who’s here after Kansas became the new closest finish ever?

i got 0.002 in a game once that was my craziest achievement in a game

[@lordkahula4922]

I was at number 10. My family and I actually worked in the infield merchandise booth for years all the way till they rebuilt the infield. I remember my parents were looking at the big screen and I was by the fence looking at the finish like omg is this a tie. Huge fan of Harvick and especially after that race when I actually got to meet him and shake his hand. His team also gave me a Jimmy John's hat earlier that day. What a time it was to be 16

[@meganhannon2908]

you forgot the close finish between lightning McQueen, Chick hicks, and The king

The man the legend that is Ricky Craven

[@marblesjn]

Honorable mention 2018 Xfinity Series Opener

[@alemarion]

It's sad that people don't read the description when they view a video. For those asking where the Reddick/Sadler finish is, this is a list of the Top 10 closest finishes in the CUP series. It's neither the Closest Finishes in any NASCAR National Series, nor the Closest Finishes in the Xfinity Series. Before complaining that one race in particular didn't make the list, try looking closer at either the title or the description. This may save you from looking like a moron.

[@Ogrmac]

It probably would’ve been a tie if Bush was a Pontiac to
