The race you are about to see appear as originally broadcast and may contain imagery that is offensive and doesn't align with NASCAR's values. NASCAR has since permanently banned the display of the confederate flag at all events.
I highly recommend watching the pre race activity that is featured on other uploads of this race on here before watching this version of the race. You’ll learn a lot and get an idea of how things were feeling prior to this race starting. FOX did an an excellent job with their pre race coverage.
They seem to cut out certain audio, they take out DW's "I don't think it was meant for Dale Jr. to run this race today" comment after he crashed in the opening laps. I'd rather watch other uploads of this.
I often wonder where Rick mast and dave Marcus would finish today. I understand theres immesne talent involved to this day, but we all know book learning only takes you so far. Using a stimulator has to feel the same. Part of the game used to be simply having the ability to persevere. Cool suits, digital gauges, rearview cameras? How many more wins or championships does mark win? Rusty, terry, bobby, mike skinner, any of these good ol boys? Nascar is in my blood and always will be. Im very appreciative for the brass continuing to innovate, but what we see today isnt stock car racing. Its the rich richer for the most part and thats why we love seeing an underdog story like chastain last year, mcdowell at Indy and Josh Berry going from sweeping floors between dirt races to a big time ride next year.
I’d love to know where the old guys would compare in their prime. Put them in the car now and they’ll be like Derrick Cope was in his last Daytona 500 start. In the way.
2:12:47-2:13:07 I do not know why, but these 2 Dodge cars were always my favorites. Just seeing them side by side gives me an aesthetically pleasing sight.
Algorithm sent me this because of my recent views of DJD and I swear I can’t even begin to fathom what he was feeling. Had to be tough first race back after Sr died. NASCAR ain’t the same and Dale would FLIP TF OUT if he was to see what’s come of DEI
Shit, this is creepy. Wrecked on lap 3.. crashed and stopped in the same area but different track, that his dad did the week before. The show the cam and it looks just like SR sitting there.
