NR2003 - A Tribute to Lost Drivers

Goodbye to the drivers that we have lost along the way. You died doing what you loved, and you will always be missed. Thanks to stknightisawesome, busterboy888, and JSRacing61 for the cars.

[@charleslacarre-theconqwest8358]

this is so..... sad... I miss Dale Sr. so much even if I was only 2 when he died... I would have enjoy a lot seeing him racing... :(

I was only 10 months old when Dale Sr. passed. I would have loved to see him racing if he hadn't died. I was watching NASCAR Victory Lane (for the 2001 Daytona) and they said Dale felt like he could drive for another 10 years, due to his neck surgery. Apparently that was never meant to be. RIP to all the drivers who have died in a race car (Neil Bonnett, Dan Wheldon, Dale Earnhardt, Ayrton Senna, JD McDuffie, Tony Roper, John Nemechek, Blaise Alexander, and finally, Jason Leffler). I was also watching the race that Dan Wheldon was killed in. My reaction was 'No. Not another one!' I also felt like that when I was watching this year's Coke Zero 400 (I was worried about both Dillon and the crowd). All these drivers may rest in peace, and may they never be forgotten.

[@julianrangel5433]

if John Elway said he can win the super bowl Dale Earnhardt said that he could win the Daytona 500

[@tomcat_vf41]

That shot at 3:12 really hits hard now. RIP Eric.

[@julianrangel7835]

Eric?

[@comradeeggdog1587]

@@julianrangel7835 I think he's talking about Eric McClure the car right by Adam petty If you haven't know already Eric McClure passed away in 2021

[@ryanmorrison3699]

Truly touching. Good choice of music

[@worrelbrown3009]

Ryan Morrison this needs to be on nascars KZbin channel ASAP

[@dhariomartinez5206]

The ending always soothes my sorrow when I cry about Wheldon, Earnhardt, and petty

[@xPITCHBLK]

The ending with the what ifs sent chills down my spine. RIP.

[@LASTCARonBROCK]

Beautiful work! I really like the modern-day representations of the schemes, too. The camera from the game replays is a bit shaky at times, but there's not too much of that.

[@StevenWatters]

This song, and tribute makes me want to cry just remembering those drivers... Rest in peace to those drivers in racing history involved, gone but never forgotten. Even Russell Phillips (A NASCAR Sportsman Division driver who passed away instantly in a horrible wreck), rest easy friends... God is with you.

[@A24NR2003Vids]

aw man that last part where it showed what could have been hit me hard. that was beautiful! Great Job!

[@Finnish909]
