Thank you for being a stop on my 2000 full season watch through. Very exciting to see my all time favorite driver Bobby Labonte in his full prime. Thanks again. I’m 25 so when I was 5 and watching the green car do circles i was a fan because the color, it caught my eye but didn’t really get it. it took me until about 7-8 to really understand racing and now it’s so satisfying to see his hall of fame induction and now to rewatch this season of consistent clean dominance.
I had a VHS version of this race from Goodwill and it was the only used tape race I ever saw. I was not interested in NASCAR until Feb 2001 after the big car crash and Dale E Sr. Death. It took that disaster for me to have an interest in NASCAR since than.
The thing I remember seeing as a kid was Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. racemates, so I know I was a viewer the year of this race. Since it was on ABC, I may have seen this very one.
We actually started the season with 10 winners in the first 10 races, and in the first 13 races we had 12, and only 14 all season: 1.) Daytona: Dale Jarrett 2.) Rockingham: Bobby Labonte 3.) Las Vegas: Jeff Burton 4.) Atlanta: Dale Earnhardt Sr. 5.) Darlington: Ward Burton 6.) Bristol: Rusty Wallace 7.) Texas: Dale Earnhardt Jr. 8.) Martinsville: Mark Martin 9.) Talladega: Jeff Gordon 10.) California: Jeremy Mayfield 11.) Richmond: Dale Earnhardt Jr. broke the streak with his 2nd win of 2000. 12.) Charlotte: Matt Kenseth 13.) Dover: Tony Stewart 14.) Michigan: Tony Stewart 15.) Pocono: Jeremy Mayfield 16.) Sonoma: Jeff Gordon 17.) Daytona: Jeff Burton 18.) New Hampshire: Tony Stewart 19.) Pocono: Rusty Wallace 20.) Indianapolis: Bobby Labonte 21.) Watkins Glen: Steve Park 22.) Michigan: Rusty Wallace 23.) Bristol: Rusty Wallace 24.) Darlington: Bobby Labonte 25.) Richmond: Jeff Gordon 26.) New Hampshire: Jeff Burton 27.) Dover: Tony Stewart 28.) Charlotte: Bobby Labonte 29.) Talladega: Dale Earnhardt Sr. 30.) Martinsville: Tony Stewart 31.) Phoenix: Jeff Burton 32.) Rockingham: Dale Jarrett 33.) Homestead: Tony Stewart 34.) Atlanta: Jerry Nadeau
All I did was list the point races: The winners of the exhibition events: Bud Shootout Qualifier at Daytona: Dale Jarrett Bud Shootout at Daytona: Dale Jarrett Gatorade 125 #1: Bill Elliott Gatorade 125 #2: Ricky Rudd The Winston Open at Charlotte: Steve Park The Winston at Charlotte: Dale Earnhardt Jr. This was to show that the first 10 point races were won by 10 different drivers.
I think he was only pertaining to the wicker blade on the roof. After the BIG ONE with about 25 laps to go in the 2001 Daytona 500 he told Richard Childress under the red, "If NASCAR don't do away something with this package, someone is going to get killed." On the last lap, what Earnhardt said happened to him :( RIP #3.
Flipped this off as soon as Gordon won so I never saw Weber's interview with Bobby . Bobby looked like he was about to go Bobby with a lawnmower that won't start on Weber there for a second. I was rooting for Kenny Irwin as the laps wound down. Was a big fan of his in spite of Martinsville '99 (bought one of his cars the day before he died) and his run was the only good thing out of this day given the top-3, Tony and Bobby getting wrapped in the wreck, and DJ's problems
Insane to think that not winning by the season's 9th race is considered struggling. Only with Gordon and Johnson do people expect victories by 4th or 5th race, if not their having awful seasons, in the media's opinion.
Not to mention the fact that the new Ford Taurus for 2000 was ludicrously fast and literally kicked Chevrolet and Pontiac's hides, especially Chevrolet's. They won 14 of the 34 races (4 by Wallace, 4 by Jeff Burton, 2 by Mayfield, 2 by Jarrett, and one apiece from Martin and Kenseth), while Chevrolet won only 9 (3 by Earnhardt Sr, 3 by Jeff Gordon, 2 by Earnhardt Jr, and the other by Nadeau), and Pontiac won 11 (six of those were by Stewart, four by Bobby Labonte, and the other by Ward Burton).
@@jeffgordonfan2462 That's because in 2000 Chevrolet came out with a new Monte Carlo nose, and in 2018 they came out with the Camaro. Both times the aerodynamics of those noses caused so much drag and underperformance. Going into 2001 and this year before the pandemic, the Chevrolets have been making progress.
What year did they start doing the animation of the drivers when they do the starting grid? Those were entertaining. Dick Trickle..... God bless him, RIP...... but ahem, one of the most interesting names in all sports......no Greg Sacks here........
ABC was cool at broadcasting races; helped by it's Saturday morning, TGIF and Disney-powered Sunday night SUPREMACY!!!!! I just wish I was around to see it, given when in 2000 I was born...
Name The Drivers That Racing The #71 For Dave Marcus In 2000 And How Did It Started? And There Is a 4th Generation Earnhardt In Nascar From Today's World Named Jeffery...What Does This Mean For Nascar And Jeffery's Career?
