This is why we all loved Steve Byrnes.

[@juniorsutton8798]

There will never be another Byrnes

[@day500champ15]

Harvick and Yocum had the best dynamic. They should've gotten their own NASCAR show. Those two have said and done a lot of funny things.

[@O5fan]

Tuesday nights at 7 on SiriusXM, they have a show

[@BANGITSME87]

Steve Byrnes Sterling Marlin impression is the greatest.

[@pens87668]

Had to come here after the FOX Drivers Only broadcast TP’d Harvicks motor coach

[@jeffsmith2070]

Weird, I recall watching this rainout coverage many years ago! I must have been super bored!

[@jraybay]

That Steve Byrne's segment with the motorhomes, gets me every time xD - We miss you Steve R.I.P

[@MovieLover1995]

These days, NASCAR wouldn't hesitate with having to postpone a race because of bad weather like the heavy rain and thunderstorms they had all of that day. Like the race at Dover earlier this season. They postponed that race right away due to rainy thunderstorms, gusty winds, and even some hail throughout the day. I think there was also a tornado warning that they put out that day, if I'm not mistaken.

[@Jericho398]

I don't know who was Steve Byrnes, but judging by this video. He was great man. Rest his soul.

[@maddybutyoutube]

elliott sadler playing halo. just a different time.

[@pandaexpress7326]

Now this is content.

[@Ibelikemj]

Wish the crews would have this much fun like they used too. now its too professional and it kinda is lame.

[@NascarNixon]

When Dr. Dick left and Mikey got hired to the Hollywood Hotel, FOX's coverage took a nosedive.

[@Ibelikemj]

First mistake was putting Mikey in the booth then putting Hammond on assignment. Not to be that guy but I would rather see Jeff Gordon replace DW instead of Larry Mac. But yeah, NBC is blowing them out of the water...something I bet you wouldnt have said 10 plus years ago.

[@NascarNixon]

Totally agree. I can't stand DW these day.

[@Ibelikemj]

NascarNixon Lets be honest...who can? Besides the FOX producer, lmao.

[@jordanfingall9184]

+NascarNixon Jeff Hamond look young now he got gray hair everywhere

[@christiancichon]

“Terry Labonte is one tough man, but his dog definitely don’t speak for him” 🤣

[@jrmizzgaminglounge]

Miss seeing Steve. He was the best at what he did. He was easily likable, knew his stuff, was respected in the garage, always showed up, and boy did he love this sport. No one can replace that man.

[@joshuaweatherman9496]

"Totally ARCA" JEEZUS

[@Busch22Fan]

"The last time DW ran the Truck Series, Ben Hur was running."

[@nascarfan88ta]

Steves Sterling Marlin impression is great, and very accurate

[@ChucksPullingVideos]

Steve Byrnes and hilariously entertaining rain delays. Man I miss this era.

[@FastEvan47]

6:56 when Mark says “sure, man” to Steve request to come in and Steve’s laugh made me die laughing when I watched it live and every time I see it after. That HA! gets me every time!

[@jasonvogue4487]

Love Mark Martin

[@WillHendersonTX]

when Steve died, Fox lost a major piece of their coverage and Vince Welch and Jamie Little could never fill his shoes, RIP Steve Brynes. also that was typicial Texas spring weather for you to rain out a race.

[@cliffsta87337]

Man nascar was so fun in the 90s and 00s

[@jdbrisentine2615]

I lost it when DW said, "the other question people keep coming back with is who's Steve Byrnes"

[@jabber1990]

I remember this! I even posted on Facebook talking about this shortly after we lost Steve

[@adamcordle3906]

10:14 "We've reached new lows here" That's sums up rain delay coverage now

[@racefan8418]

Did anybody count how many Newell motorhomes was in this video

[@BrendanKeeler19]

Miss you Steve. You were one of the best and one of the nicest souls in the sport. Hope you and BP are enjoying all the interviews with Dale, Dan, Justin, Jules, and all the other souls we have lost. Heaven has one hell of a racing community

[@GhoStrider-bg5ln]

Heheh, ditto that, who better to have interviewed Smoke immediately after the Fontana race and post race altercation with J-Lo, after Stewart let off all that steam, steve burns ends with " Thank you, Tony!"

[@nicholasehrhart8916]

1:16 Dick Berggren Interview with Elliott Sadler playing video games

[@ThunderWolf535]

Back when rainouts were fun, now half the day races on FOX cut to other coverage and night races are delayed to the next morning. Also funny timing cause of the Chicago rainouts today...

[@imrustyokay]

Toyota Cup Series Blame the new Fox Sports 1.

[@imrustyokay]

I kinda miss the Hokey days of NASCAR on Fox and NBC. And while I still love the commentators, it kinda getting old. But I love the new days as well, and of course it will never be the same without Steve, Benny, and Dick. But I am one to embrace the new, so, I like both old and new. :/

[@Stewart14rocks]

The way they used to cover rain delays was so great. Now they just throw on some "Daytona Stories" feature while the broadcasters go throwback a longneck.

[@connorallen5681]

Back when rain delays and Pre race shows were interesting to watch

[@JMSF32]

Lol "We've reached new lows here."

[@frontierjusticedazzlingsfa2569]

Do you ever remember when it snowed at martinsville on race day somewhere back then?

[@NascarNixon]

You mean the snow delay at Bristol?

[@frontierjusticedazzlingsfa2569]

It was a short track so yeah you one of those

[@gorjlg]

+NascarNixon I was at the snow delayed race at Bristol. It was fun throwing snowballs at the crews and drivers.

[@mesousagaby740]

1:16 Now that's a rarity; playing Halo in 4-player mode.

[@packisbetter90]

Fuck I miss Nascar in early to mid 2000s

[@X2Lazy2WinX]

Tfw rain delays from 13 years ago are more entertaining than half of the current nascar season

[@taurusve]

LOL No one wanted Steve in their trailer. I miss him so much. RIP Steve.

[@mikepalko8446]

You could always count on Mark Martin to save the day though.

[@mulletsrule3388]

He does a really good Sterling Marlin impersonation

[@GaHullbillyRanch]

Did they interview dale jr that day?

[@TheJames2488]

Miss you Steve Byrnes!

[@HuntinwithHattaway]

I thought the Sterling Marlin imitation was killer!!!

[@Blazer0079]

Man I remember this. Was laughing all the way through.

[@nameless7838]

This is awesome! lol i already miss ol' Byrnes-ey. :(

[@nicholasehrhart8916]

1:38 Is best Steve Byrnes message of all time

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

Matt and Harvick TP Darrell Waltrip’s motorhome.

[@chochoobaca55]

I miss Steve so much. He was great to watch on race day.

[@brentanic]

lol Kevin TP'ing DW's RV was awesome.

[@jaybarker4744]

What happened to DW at 4:14 lol

[@TotalCruiserBabe]

Might have bumped his knee on the desk and broke something

[@nascarwildcatfan7577]

Poor Steve Byrnes. I felt bad for me. Rip Steve Byrnes.

[@luisy.gonzalez6469]

[@SAVINGEZRA]

[@nicholasehrhart8916]

4:12 Matt yocum interview with Kevin harvick

[@zetazetaman]

Is it just me or did Harvick have a vase of flowers on the counter in his motorhome?

[@imrustyokay]

It seems like NBC Does stuff like this...

[@deering1134]

What a great video thank you ! I was smiling the whole time R.I.P STEVE miss ya every week

[@LucasCram44]

@2:18 I'm like who's that? I recognize that voice, but only from people recent. *Notice the 48 as Steve closes the door* OH MY GOSH THAT'S JIMMIE!!!!!!!! HAAHAHAHAHAA
