Nice to see that they were doing cutaways from the actual racing to focus on the wife and not the pass for the win, even back in the 80's. A proud and time-honored tradition.
NBC has the coverage now. Lets hope they skip this time wasting tradition of showing the wife and focus on the team not the spouse. The driver and the crew chief are the guys they should be focusing on or the heartbreak of the team in 2nd not the trophy wife.
Yeah it was crazy. And I always found it strange the national guard car crashed in turn four from the lead at Indy and at the coke 600 the national guard car ran out of fuel in turn four from the lead. And mike joy commentated it with perfection on the fly
Just classic, dumb ABC production on the Mears Johncock race giving the wife more air time than the actual race. Totally missed Johncock holding him off in Turn One.
@@701CPD Sorry 701CPD, but you are totally wrong. Those races were called live to tape as they happened. There were no later "voice-overs". I know because I was there working for ABC.
That shot was from a cable cam camera with the cable anchored in turn one, angleing diagonally across the track and anchored just past the Pagoda on top of the media center. If I can remember correctly, it could travel close to 70 mph. They also were not susposed to actually run it literally out over the track during green flags. If you notice, it was mostly used on restarts and was always over the pits. Kind of fell out of favor after the mishap at Daytona a few years ago.
You have to applaud Sato for making that move under Franchitti. In hindsight, he should have waited til off of 2 or off of 4 coming to the line, but you can't fault him for going for it. He did what any real racer would have/should have done in that situation.
82 Johncock and Mears was the best finish ever. Never, ever saw a more excited crowd. I was in the Tower Terrace and some woman in front of me was standing on her seat cheering for Mears and passed out cold from the excitement of it all.
I beg to differ. Al Unser Jr. vs Scott Goodyear in the 1992 race was better as it endured over 15 laps, not just the last 2. Plus, it was the closest finish in Indy history.
My family does a raffle every year and winner has a big prize. I got hildebrand in my first ever race when I was 9 and it was the worst feeling ever when he hit the wall. But at least Dan wheldon could win it RIP.
He was too high going into turn 3 to try to pass whoever was in front of him. And he didn't even need o pass that guy to win. He should have taken it easy in the last two turns. Weldon would never have caught him. Youth & inexperience!!
@@johnconway3834 Lmao he was trying to avoid slowing down for Kimball so Wheldon would not catch up like Hornish did to Andretti in 2006. Hornish managed to catch up at the very end without a lapped car interfering Andretti so imagine how much ground Wheldon would’ve gained with one. That was Kimball’s team’s fault, not JR’s
Hildebrand could've completely let off of the throttle, and Wheldon wouldn't have caught him.....Look how close the finish was, even after Hildebrand hit the wall.....Wheldon was 3 seconds behind when he hit the wall, that's approx. 300 yards
Also they say fucking at 11:03, i believe is the time. "Don't say anything until we hear the fucking *incoherent*" does anyone know what they were saying?
@@Alice-nr4oh I think he said, "don't say a word until we get the fucking checkered" he was pissed that his radio guy was talking like it was already won. After that he hears, "you won it, baby" and it caused confusion. I don't blame him - it isn't over till it's over!
Feel so bad for Marco. Who knows what his career would have been like with that win. I also remember when Mario had almost two laps on the field the year Sullivan won when his Newman-Haas car died
Great video! Johncock and Mears still gives me goosebumps and Emmo as one of my all time drivers winning in 1989 is also memorable. And how about redemption for Takuma Sato. One that I thought should have been in was Big Al's 4th win in 1987. It was not nose to tail but his win after being drafted into Penske's 3rd after Danny Ongais was injured and going from 20th starting spot to edge Roberto Guerrero was an all time underdog story.
2003 race was special. Brazil celebrated three wins in a row (2001/2002/2003) with an 1-2-3 finish (Gil, Helio and Tony). Go, go, Helio! Go for the 4th win!
vikeirishman Made the 10 hour drive out to Indy this year for the first time. Completely worth it. Sat in turn 3 and had one of the best times of my life.
I believe that if you make the trip to Indy you will never look at the Race the same way again. I have been to the Qualifications, Race, 500 Museum, Rode the bus around the track and ran around the track. It's a amazing place! My Father even worked there during May. It means alot to me. But now Penske bought the Whole track! I will never go back again. Money always ruins the best of things. But if you want to experience the 500. Be my guest. Shawn
You can't call this the greatest race in the world. There are much better races out there, more challenging for the drivers and more entertaining for the viewers
@@mabra33 Spoken like a true Formula one fan. Mario Andretti came to Formula 1 from Indy car racing and kicked everyone Ass over there. He has won Indy, Daytona 500 and sprint car Championships. He could be the greatest driver of all time. Formula 1 came to Indy and shit all over us. So either way! I don't give a damn about Formula one. If it wasn't for Indy! You wouldn't have Formula one anyway! Yes, There were great drivers in Formula one. FANGIO, SENNA, STEWARD and many more. Jackie Stewart said Indy is a Magical race track and a Haunting place to race. It has a racing history bar none. So tell me about Formula one again! Shawn
2016 I was there for that one standing on the steps in the giant gap near the finish. Just glad my grandpa got to see the 100th running before he passes away in late 2020.
I remember watching the ending in 2011 and was cheering for Hildebrand to win it because how many people can say they won the Indy 500 as a rookie and then my heart sank when he hit the wall on the final turn
Yes, but you still had few seconds of hope that he will slide over the finish line first. That was the most heartbraking finish ever ahead of 1995, 2002 and 2006.
2:06 fun fact: Bobby Rahal won that Indy 500 for Truesports, a team owned by Jim Trueman, who is current NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Austin Cindric’s grandfather.
Jake Baskinger, thank you for putting this together. I'm involved with these races as I was the turn 3 cameraman for ABC from 1993 til 2018, and came back for 1 more year with NBC for the 2019 race when I decided to totally retire. Actually started in turn 3 in 1989 working then for IMS' TelX Productions when we covered all the practices, qualifying, Carb Day, and of course the races. IMS actually took over production of the race in 1993 after ABC blew the finish of the '92 race when Don Ohlmeyer cut to the flagstand camera showing the flagman waving the checkered-flag instead of staying with the cars when Little Al beating Scott Goodyear across the finish line.
I bet you have great inside stories to tell, can you share? I would love to hear anything. And film clips. Were you allowed to take any film with you when you left. The stories of these guys is way bigger than what you see when they're totally focused on driving that race day. Youre the kind of person who would be an amazing dinner party guest or 1st,2nd,3rd date.
2015-2016-2017 For 3 years in a row, former F1 drivers won the race. One of the best drivers to never win a championship at F1, an american rookie that was screwed by marussia and a japanese underdog, who back then was pretty fast yet inconsistent then managed to find his groove in indycar.
You know, there’s always something special when an AJ Foyt car wins the 500, it hasn’t happened in 20 years but I hope it happens one more time before AJ Passes
That was some high level blocking by Hunter-Reay! So many times we have seen that trailing car get a run off turn four and make a pass coming down the home stretch.
Sensible guy: "Why don't we show the wives' reactions AFTER the race, rather than DURING it? It's far more effective," ABC Guy: "Nah! won't bother...."
I've only watched this half way through so far, but I'm hoping Danny Sullivan's 36 degree spin is on here . . that's what really turned me on to the Indy 500 every Memorial Day since!
In 1999, those cars sounded like stock cars :o Also, Paul Page, Bob Jenkins, Jim McKay, and Allen Bestwick are the holy quartet of Indy 500 announcers. Putting Todd Harris in the booth for 2005 to replace Page was an absolute joke. It's too bad that they didn't put Page back in the booth for 2006 onward but at least Marty Reid did a decent job and was able to carry the excitement of the race in his tenure. However, getting Bestwick was a great move by ESPN. I'll miss him this year but Leigh Diffey is going to carry on what those first four have done.
Those were late '90s IRL cars instead of the CART machines that were raced there before 1996. The IRL cars were referred to as "crapwagons" because not only did they sound like garbage for an open wheel car, but they had like 200 less horsepower than the CART cars.
@@thearcadeproductions1140 yet they had more hp's than Today. And God how difficult they were to drive. 218 was more difficult than 236, Arie told that. It was a real test of the drivers.
That 1995 race was amazing! Too bad Goodyear lost it for jumping the pace car but Villeneuve coming back from his earlier penalty to win it was incredible!
@Robert Mclachlan I think he lost it the following year when he went upside down in the last crash of the race. He still won Sonoma in '06, and generally did decent. How he got his other win is beyond me.
Edit: This was made before the 2019 Indy 500. Don’t ask me why that finish is not in here. If you do, please use context clues and go back to the 5th grade or whenever you learned how to gain understanding of a book.
I don't know whether it's fortunately or unfortunately, but this is one of those things where you'll be updating this video probably with more versions in the future.
The most dramatic portion of the race and how many cut-aways to a wife do we need? Crappy directing. If I watched for hours, that's NOT what i tuned in for.
I was at the 1996 race. I remember Buddy Lazier holding on at the end in that purple car. I'm pretty sure that was Tony Stewart's first 500...think he was in the Team Menard's car?
So many emotions throughout this video: Amazement (2011) Happiness (2013) Excitement (2006) Craziness (1996) Amazement (2016) Disappointment (2012) Confusion (1997) Though not shown in the video, I will also mention Heartbreak for 2018...
@@iuaump4 On a late restart with 7 to go in the 2018 Indy 500, 3 underdog drivers were leading but very low on fuel with no chance of making it if it stayed green the entire way. The 3 drivers were Stefan Wilson, Jack Harvey, & Oriol Servia. Any one of them winning would have been incredible & especially Stefan Wilson. Unfortunately that miracle caution never came, all 3 had to pit under green with 5 laps remaining, & Will Power won. Predictable ending sure, but I think everyone would have loved to have seen Stefan win it for his late brother Justin.
Watching Danica Patrick leading the Indy 500 in the closing laps is a weird, but nice sight. I don’t care how much money she was making, she should have stayed in indycar.
Now the Man who bought 18 Indy 500's. Own's it! Now, Will Penske give up owning a Indy car team. Or will he just put it under another man's name and keep buying the wins at Indy? SHAWN
IndyCar is a minor sport in Japan. Takuma's second victory is not well reported in Japan. I am so sad.However, I will continue to support IndyCar and Takuma.
That's sad. IndyCar racing is a very cool sport. The guys all seem to be polite, personable humans who treat their fans with respect. With the internet, you should be an e to watch any race you want. Enjoy!!
Nice to see that they were doing cutaways from the actual racing to focus on the wife and not the pass for the win, even back in the 80's. A proud and time-honored tradition.
It's always fun seeing RUclips royalty commenting alongside us common folk. Love your channel.
racing is nothing without the people.
They never do that anymore in Nascar I miss when they used to show Kim burton whenever Jeff was leading or Buffy when Michael finally won the 500
NBC has the coverage now. Lets hope they skip this time wasting tradition of showing the wife and focus on the team not the spouse. The driver and the crew chief are the guys they should be focusing on or the heartbreak of the team in 2nd not the trophy wife.
@@bartsullivan4866 i hope they get rid of the tradition of pre race prayers
2011 has to be the most heartbreaking ending to any race I've ever seen.
Plus knowing now it was Dan's last win in indy..... sad sad season all around
Yeah it was crazy. And I always found it strange the national guard car crashed in turn four from the lead at Indy and at the coke 600 the national guard car ran out of fuel in turn four from the lead. And mike joy commentated it with perfection on the fly
@Chunkieta that’s all it takes to make or break
And Dale Jr ran out of gas that same day to lose the Coca Cola 600
R.ip Dan wheldon, 1978-2011
Crazy to see Castroneves so darn close multiple times to that elusive 4th win. Glad he finally got it last year! :)
"3rd win"
You mean 3 years ago
Just classic, dumb ABC production on the Mears Johncock race giving the wife more air time than the actual race. Totally missed Johncock holding him off in Turn One.
I hate that. Glad NBC does it now, they don't focus on trophy wife's.
Back then the race was broadcast on a tape delay and the commentary added after the fact.
Mears would’ve won 5 if not for that move!
@@701CPD Sorry 701CPD, but you are totally wrong. Those races were called live to tape as they happened. There were no later "voice-overs". I know because I was there working for ABC.
Yep, that was dumb. Showing the WAG on a split screen was stupid also! You can always show a replay of the WAG after the race is over.
Al Unser JR was my childhood hero and that 1992 race was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I was 15 years old.
He's on Twitter. He responded to one of my tweets
I was lucky enough to have attended the race... turn 4. Still gives me goosebumps.
The shot that begins right after 20:21 is an incredible camera shot. It looks like it’s straight out of a movie.
That shot was from a cable cam camera with the cable anchored in turn one, angleing diagonally across the track and anchored just past the Pagoda on top of the media center. If I can remember correctly, it could travel close to 70 mph. They also were not susposed to actually run it literally out over the track during green flags. If you notice, it was mostly used on restarts and was always over the pits. Kind of fell out of favor after the mishap at Daytona a few years ago.
The 2011 finish was heartbreaking for JR. I was and always will be a Wheldon fan so I was very happy Dan won but I felt for JR for sure.
Hildebrand's crash still pains me to watch all these years later. I was rooting for him the entire race 😢
That was just shocking (much as I liked Dan Wheldon).
You have to applaud Sato for making that move under Franchitti. In hindsight, he should have waited til off of 2 or off of 4 coming to the line, but you can't fault him for going for it. He did what any real racer would have/should have done in that situation.
No attack, no chance.
That’s what made me a fan of Sato. It was a make or break move and he went all in
He said the way the wind was blowing made it impossible to make a pass on 3 & 4. That's why he went for it in one.
Japanese indy fan is proud of tak's win! I hope tak win indy500 again.
The move Sato made to get in the lead was as gusty a move that I had seen. It too bad the video didn't show that.
琢磨またやってのけましたね！
Guess what, brother!
He’d did it
琢磨、2020年インディ500にて再び優勝！
素晴らしい。
That move by Johncock over Mears going into one....good gawd thats a mans move
Indycar isn't raced by men anymore. It's a spec series raced by boys where the largest expense account wins.
@@dilligaf0220 Still better than F1.
Potamkin Motorsports Gordon Johncock was so underrated it’s sad.
@@dilligaf0220 A driver died in 2015 and these guys are racing at 30 mph faster than Johncock's era did. You are absolutely wrong.
Wouldn't have happened if Michael Andretti had driven like a sane man and not blown it up with 20 to go....his car was the class of the first 180+

Craig R. That was AJ Foyt on the radio. Nobody tells AJ to shut up lol.
JR Hildebrand is pretty much the Titans. That one mistake has haunted him, much like that one play has to the Titans, for years.
1 turn short.

Might remake it so I can include that one
I was there for all of of them.

Takuma Sato is the first Japanese winner!!!!!!!! It's very very proud as a Japanese!!!!!!!
Star Rising he learned a lot over the years, here in my home city. very happy he got his!
Also as an Asian. I'm also proud.

@@NickG40 that's because he was accompanied by the two of the most boring color in commentary history
The most dramatic portion of the race and how many cut-aways to a wife do we need? Crappy directing. If I watched for hours, that's NOT what i tuned in for.
I still don’t know how Sam pulled that off. All of these races are great
I still think when Johncock won it was the best I’ve ever seen
Great video. Thanks for putting it together. But you're wrong about Paul Tracy.
great video to hear the crowds
Nice recommendation a day after Newgarden's amazing Indy 500 win in 2023
Happy to see the Indy 500 finishes are getting worse.
1982 indy, Johncock with one of the most beautiful move defending a position that I ever saw, and what TV shows? One of the wives..
Mears had the better car but Gordy was the better driver
I was at the 1996 race. I remember Buddy Lazier holding on at the end in that purple car. I'm pretty sure that was Tony Stewart's first 500...think he was in the Team Menard's car?
0:25 "I dont think I've ever seen an open wheel race finish this close"
'1971 Monza just entered the chat'
indy lights chicagoland 2006 has entered the chat
"We know she can count three, she just proved it!"
That was awesome!
1996 was brutal. Cheever had a 236 mph lap, in the race.
''We know she can count the three'' that kill me laughing, jajajaaaajjjaaajajaaa
That Sato crash was so close, also if Danica won that would be mental
So many emotions throughout this video:
Amazement (2011)
Happiness (2013)
Excitement (2006)
Craziness (1996)
Amazement (2016)
Disappointment (2012)
Confusion (1997)
Though not shown in the video, I will also mention Heartbreak for 2018...
Heartbreak in 2018?
@@iuaump4 On a late restart with 7 to go in the 2018 Indy 500, 3 underdog drivers were leading but very low on fuel with no chance of making it if it stayed green the entire way. The 3 drivers were Stefan Wilson, Jack Harvey, & Oriol Servia. Any one of them winning would have been incredible & especially Stefan Wilson.
Unfortunately that miracle caution never came, all 3 had to pit under green with 5 laps remaining, & Will Power won.
Predictable ending sure, but I think everyone would have loved to have seen Stefan win it for his late brother Justin.
@Ultimate23Dragon ok I remember Stefan leading with 5 to go and I agree with you
Freaking Luyendyk should have let Villeneuve go. There was no need to race him so closely on the final straight.
What NASCAR drivers do you see in this video?
I heard Vince Welch. (I know he only commentates for the truck series but I'm just mentioning
Sam hornish Jr (bust)
Montoya, Kurt Bush, Smoke ,Robby Gordon, Hornish, Franchitti
Kurt Busch, Juan Montoya, Robby Gordon, Sam Hornish Jr, Tony Stewart, and a big surprise Allmendinger
Kurt Busch, Sam Hornish Jr, Tony Stewart, Juan Montoya, Dario Franchitti, Robby Gordon, and a big surprise AJ Allmendinger in 2013
The 2019 finish was great
Such a shame Dan Wheldon left us early
No halo/windscreen
It’s crazy it took all those years to have a last lap battle close finish
Those women in the boxes.... They make this world go around!
I live a few miles away from the speedway and I can hear the cars every race
thank you
Watching Danica Patrick leading the Indy 500 in the closing laps is a weird, but nice sight. I don’t care how much money she was making, she should have stayed in indycar.
Now the Man who bought 18 Indy 500's. Own's it! Now, Will Penske give up owning a Indy car team. Or will he just put it under another man's name and keep buying the wins at Indy? SHAWN
The greatest Races of Indycar best times great drivers Sato Alonso Montoya Indycar Superstars 👍👑🤩🥳
17:40 why are you so mean
IndyCar is a minor sport in Japan. Takuma's second victory is not well reported in Japan. I am so sad.However, I will continue to support IndyCar and Takuma.
That's sad. IndyCar racing is a very cool sport. The guys all seem to be polite, personable humans who treat their fans with respect. With the internet, you should be an e to watch any race you want. Enjoy!!
LOVE ITTTTTTTT
This race never disappoints
