"Have you ever...?"

[@CSoliday8]

No I have never!

[@t-royentertainment1421]

Yep👍

[@lopezlandscapingandgardening]

No I’ve never!!!!

[@Thunderbolt2396]

NO IVE NEVER

[@JansArchiveActual]

"A couple of times..."

[@camschuster5947]

I watched that Craven Busch finish live with my Mom who’s favorite driver was Ricky Craven in the Tide Pontiac. Made me a NASCAR fan for life experiencing that moment with her.

[@the65car]

Kansas: Allow us to introduce ourselves.

[@7sins435]

can i just say it’s crazy a busch is in 3 of the 4 pictures in the thumbnail 😂

[@nathanstroud2223]

The exception being the Harvick/McMurray finish which didn't even make the video. With a whopping 0.011 sec margin of victory, it's *only* the 14th closest finish in the history of the cup series.

[@anncase8673]

Nothing like an incredible moment in modern NASCAR to bring back these memories

[@Habit.0505]

This brings back memories of the old Top 10 show that aired on SPEED back about 10-15 years ago. Or the NASCAR on Fox Top 10 Moments from the same time. I love it! Please post more!

[@RACINGUS95]

F1 wishes they had finishes even remotely close to this

[@SomeRand0mKid]

Fr, and they say “all they do is go in circles. It’s boring”.

[@exoticolors9953]

@@SomeRand0mKid f1 guys are too technical. theyre worried about fitting a mold rather than standing out

[@MrNascarfan1]

Atleast f1 cars are fast. Tracks on a road course they are going up to 220 mph. NASCAR struggles to do more than 194

[@SomeRand0mKid]

@@MrNascarfan1 Speed doesn’t really matter. It’s about the racing and the entertainment it brings to us fans. I believe NASCAR cup cars can go faster as well but are restricted.

[@atomicr4y472]

​@@MrNascarfan1 That's because cars used to turn into planes when they were hitting speeds of 202+. Safety of the drivers is something I'll brag about over speed, thank you.

[@blastonightfb77ryan86]

If we are to not make this cup series exclusive, the actual closest finish in NASCAR history would be a race I actually attended, the 2018 Xfinity Season opener at Daytona. Tyler Reddick beat Elliott Sadler with the margin of victory of 0.0004 (4 ten thousandths of a second)

[@mono-no-aware.Lem.]

Donts forgets about me

[@muhammadwahyuhidayat21498]

Best Closes finish from then to present day has never forget,included this year is Mexican Driver from Track house racing team Daniel Suarez wins in first place along with Kyle Busch and Ryan Blaney at Atlanta Motor Speedway

[@Caleb-qi5ev]

Maines own RICKY FREAKING CRAVEN!

[@santiagoleal5060]

This top is 10000% better that its gonna be the elistist F1 in 2024, the best category🔥🔥

[@t-royentertainment1421]

I was there in Darlington, 👍

[@brendenkennedy4304]

Wow incredible video. I personally remember that 3 wide finish which Jimmie Johnson won at Talladega. I mean like how much closer can you get with that!? Unreal.

[@Tylnorton]

Time to update this NASCAR.

[@racefan7]

All of the photo finishes are awesome

[@luxurypalm]

More content like this and youll have fans for life!!

[@Fastcat4242]

Doesn’t matter the era, Gen cars, track, NASCAR will produce a photo finish more than other Motorsport out there. ❤

[@lordvoldemort4944]

The last one man you can’t even really tell

[@iracingdriver9]

Look up the 2018 Xfinity series season opener at Daytona, ..0004

[@tobiojo6469]

Awesome video

[@teranceparker4728]

The race at Atlanta two weeks ago and the Spring race at Talladega in 2021 were the closest finishes in NASCAR Cup Series history but give credit to the intermediate tracks from the past to be on the list 😊

[@fireandflames18]

The Craven - Busch finish still gives me chills!

[@mono-no-aware.Lem.]

Wild that we had the EXACT same MOV in two of the first few races of 2016

[@justinburton918]

I still remember jumping up and down watching that Darlington race . Still the best finish ever. #2 they forgot was Ambrose and Keselowski @ Watkins Glen

[@ThomasSaluk-vy4bm]

KYLE LARSON JUST BROKE THIS RECORD AT KANSAS 0.001, a 20 year record falls tonight

[@irontoad1049]

Blaney really is “The Camera Man”, he ended up in a lot of photo finishes

[@ImTheMilkMan65]

Man I hope young/new fans watch this video like I did with the one put up by fox sports years and years ago

[@lordvoldemort4944]

It is important to note this is only cup

[@eth3792]

No 0.001 Xfinity finish from Daytona a couple years back 😔

[@Nasty-Canasta]

​@@eth3792 also the 1999 Touchstone Energy 300 at 0.002

[@revelare_xvii6269]

Nascar probably has some of the closest photo finishes of any big league Motorsport out there.

[@hiccupthebox]

i wonder whatll happen know since kansas finished

[@jefferyrobertson7520]

Greatest Photo Finished In NASCAR History 1981 Talladega 500 And 1993 Die Hard 500 At Alabama International Motor Speedway In Talladega Alabama

[@NascarAviationDude]

Add 2024 Spring Kansas, That Is The New Closest Finish In Cup Series History

[@Waddle_Dee_With_Internet]

Here after the Kansas finish

[@godisgood1359]

There are two races that you missed that should be on here. 1990 Bristol. Davey Allison over Mark Martin, and 1991 Dale Jarrett over Davey Allison at Michigan.

[@MoleT.V]

Update time :D

[@kilboracing1077]

Time to move everyone down one after Kansas

[@acedelta12]

Larson over Buescher at Kansas

[@dracoarton94]

One month later and this video is already outdated

[@andrewdevore4799]

This is already outdated
