- More than likely the biggest upset EVER in the history of the Daytona 500.
Earnhardt blows his tire going into 3 on the final lap giving the win to Derrike Cope.
Ken Squire, Ned Jarrett and Chris Economacki with the call for CBS
I was three years old when this race was run, and I was asked to predict the winner. My family was stunned that I simply said "Number 10," and would not be dissuaded. They knew Cope didn't have a chance, and wanted me to at least choose a driver with better odds. I refused to change my choice, no matter what. They were absolutely blown away when I turned out to be right. Thanks for the video!
This made Earnhardt appreciate it about a thousand times more when he won it in 1998.
This man Derrick cope is in the 2021 Daytona 500, 31 years after this. Unreal.
I know I was shocked he's 60 years old grew up with them man I didn't realize how muçh I missed watching him
He was the best driver available for that seat? NASCAR sucks hard these days. Best driver in the field is Larson and it's not even close for second and where all missing out on his talents shining due to cars, teams and NASCAR been all about BS and nothing about racing. Larson just put on one of the greatest single year dirt track seasons I have had the privilege to witness and I hope he gets another ban ASAP
@@n.w.owhoknowstheshadowknow58 this comment has me lost bro I’m sorry please explain
yes i see that , he as made a come back improbable !
Whenever you're ready to give up hope, just remember Derrike Cope.
I went to school with Derrick Cope and his brother Darren Cope and sister Tammy they all always had fast cars Derrick Copes car was out here In storage I was rooting for him to win that race what was real funny they were interviewing his crew chief and he was on the radio with Derrick and Derrick was asking where's victory lane I died laughing🌹
Hertbreaking race for Earnhardt, but yes, 8 years later would come the victory he'd been waiting for. This was pretty much the highlight of Derrike Cope's career.
When Dale's tire goes flat and Cope makes the pass Ned says " Here comes Dope Cope" lol heehee
Willie Heard lol I just caught that after you said that!
And Belly Elliot 🤣
imagine wat derrike cope was thinking when Earnhardt blew the tire
GAS GAS GAS IM GONNA STEP ON THE GAS
Not to get caught up and wreck
Probably the same reaction michael cosey Jr. had when he won that 2021 blue emu firecracker 400 in iracing
I just won the Daytona 500..
Chris Economacki: "Fred Cope"; Ned Jarrett: "Dope Cope" LOLLLLLLLLL
Dale Sr has had about 9 coulda'-woulda'-shoulda' finishes of the '500.
GN Id throw ‘89 in there as well. He might have had enough fuel to finish but chose to pit late and DW didnt
I would say that this race, and the 2011 Daytona 500, were the 2 bigest upsets, in the Daytona 500 history. Derrike Cope would also won at Dover later that year.
Until McDowell won it lol.
Earnhardt got the last laugh that year- won 9 races and his 4th of 7 titles
Every time I watch this I think the tire isn't going to blow this time.
I actually dreamt that he didn't blow the tire and Dale Earnhardt did become the 1990 Daytona 500 Champion. Still painful to watch, after leading 155 laps only for it to fall apart with a mile left.
And 30 years later.... dale gets his revenge 😂
I was really rooting to see how well cope would do 16 years since his last race. Being the oldest guy on the field on Sunday.
But during the lap 3 tribute.... he cut a right real 😆
And this year 2021.... another first time winner- first ever cup win came to another driver
How was it Copes fault
Who's here after Cope is entering the 2021 Daytona 500?
Me
lmfao
Am i the only one who thinks cars sounded so much better back then..?
As much as we all wanted Dale to win, Cope and his team probably appreciated that rare win more than people could realize. I'm glad he got to experience that victory.
I didn’t want Dale to win. Couldn’t stand the guy.
@@Mark-sj3xb nobody could lol
You were the oddball Earnhardt in 1990 had 72% of all merchandise sales.
"HERE COMES DOPE COPE DOWN ON THE INSIDE!"
I bet Dale Sr after he got out of the car,He looked at the tire and probably thought "What in the Blue Hell just happened? "
And it was Cope on old tires.
He had it mounted over the door in their shop. -U10
Dafuq I thought Cole trickle won the 1990 Daytona 500
"Doees Anyone have Anything left... to COPE with Dale.." hahahaha YES! Cope Does!
I worked for Derrike Cope in 2002-2003 .I was the race holler driver. I had also painted a few of the cars and put the decals on
Imagine the bragging rights that Derrick Cope has for the rest of his life. Not only did he win the Daytona 500, but he passed one of the top 3 (and many say the greatest) Nascar drivers in history to win it.
Christ.
Hell yeah! Cope is one of my favorite drivers ever. I love watching this clip.
How he only has 2 wins
i remember this race, i was so happy when earnhardt started slowing in turn 3
This might be my favorite Daytona 500 finish in history. I absolutely loved it.
3:52 *"Here comes Dope Cope!"*
Ahhhhhh no. Ken Squier was a dam good annoucer, he always seemed to paint a picture while annoucing. I wish he could announce today
Nothing like a tire going down in a key moment I know that feel my nigga rip
Derrike Cope is on NASCAR Heat 2
Does anyone have anything left to "Cope" with the man in black?
Derrick "Cope" Does
My two brothers and I were at this race , seated just before turn one. We had a lot of fun that week. I’ll never forget it.
Michael McDowell: hold my beer
it's so cool to see the members of crew exult of joy !
Yeee when the GOAT Derrike Cope intimidated the intimidator >:)
Actually, till that last corner, this was a pretty boring race. Earnhardt was killing them all day. But Cope was no fluke as far as this race went, because he was up there right behind Earnhardt for the whole race.
I actually found out that the engine underneath Cope's car was a Hendrick engine from the late Randy Dorton. Bob Whitcomb's #10 had the same powerhouse under his hood as Ricky Rudd, Darrell Waltrip, Ken Schrader, Hut Stricklin (the 68 was a loaned Hendrick car), and of course the Days of Thunder cars which were built by Hendrick Motorsports.
Cope might've had him anyway. 2, 3, and 4 were all locked together and I think Earnhardt was pulled enough from the pack JUST enough that they could've got a hell of a run.
I realize this video is five years old, but I just noticed how proud Teresa looks in this video. (Of all the money Dale gets for winning)
What video were you watching? Lol
*HERE COMES DOPE COPE*
DOPE COPE!
Derrike Cope won it haha that's unbelievable.
I remember KIRO 7 (Seattle) was not going to show this race at all (I was lucky CTV showed it), KIRO showed a Sonics game, anyone in the Seattle area had to go south to Chehalis (sp) Wa. to see it.
It wasn't until KIRO found a local won they showed it on tape delay.
PAY RAISES FOR THE WHOLE #10 TEAM!
My all time favorite Daytona 500. Man I was screaming and jumping up and down, yelling at the TV when Cope went by him in the 3rd turn. Good times.
"And Nicole crying a bit." Lol Ned got Cope's name wrong and Taylor's too.
Nicole is Taylor's middle name and Dale Sr. referred to her as Taylor Nicole, that's why he said Nicole on accident.
I swear it almost like Daytona tried to warn him to not come back :(
When benny parsons started saying HERE COMES DERRICK COPE, I can swear that he's saying HERE COMES DOPE COPE!
Derrike Copes car was good all race long, and he was one of the few who could run near Earnhardt all day.
20 seconds away from victory
I met Mr. Whitcomb tonight. What a fantastic gentleman.
I thought he died some years ago?
Cool
that was awesome
I was there for that one
I was there in the turn four grandstand,just sayin'
I went to school with Derrick and his brother Darren I lóved this race I cried when he won after watching so long that was awesome lwatched all his name and tail races thank you Derrick for the best race ever ❤️
@@justicejensen7305 you know him?!
I think if cope had 4 new tires he would have really gave dale the race of his life that day with copes car being setup so loose that last run thats why he couldnt hold the car on the inside of the track, but it wasnt meant to be dales day. One of my favorite daytona 500s indeed
No tires, just gas!
As a fellow Washingtonian like Derrike, it may have been luck, but as of 2015, he is the only driver from Washington to win the 500, so he can't suck totally.
Trevor Bayne is a fluke though
Shades of Kyle Larson @ Pocono 2021
Earnhardt had led 155 laps and built up a 27 second lead on the field until a late race caution for a spin by Geoff Bodine set up this shootout. Dale ran over a piece of bell housing from Rick Wilson's car on the backstretch, costing him the victory.
He won four of the next five Cup championships, so it's not like this was a horrific downer.
Teresa drunk at 3:57?
Back when announcers didn't scream and yell.
next to 79 this was my favorite 500
cbs should of had ken squier work with ned jarrett and cale yarborough that would have been something
If you notice in the last 4 laps after Earnhardt took the lead back on lap 196, Cope kept up with him until the center of the corner and then would push up on corner exit. Give me your honest opinion: Since Cope was keeping up with Earnhardt, do you think that if Dale didn't have the cut tire, Dale would still have won the race? I'm hoping the opinion matches mine as absolutely, if Earnhardt had not cut the tire, Dale would have won the 1990 Daytona 500.
Yes he would have won all the way. No freaking way Cope could've passed him and won singlehandedly if he tried to. He could of course run with Earnhardt for about five to ten laps and then the 3 car was gone way ahead everyone the whole race except through the cycle of green flag pit stops.
Dale would have won. I watched this live in 1990 with my mom and dad and sister. My dad was so happy Dale Earnhardt didn't win.
Every time i watch it i think that maybe this time the tire wont go. The most unbelievable bad luck in NASCAR history belonged to that man in that race.
Yeah, I think this guy Derrike Cope is going places in NASCAR. I think we'll be seeing him in Victory Lane a lot more.
...
Eeer wait a second.
RCR still has that tire that blew on display
Copes pressure on Earnhardt make that tire go flat
she's NASCAR driver Tommy Houston's niece and former NASCAR driver Andy Houston's cousin. Her father is Tommy Houston's brother.
biggest upset ever!
I loved this when it happened.
Good old racing. Every driver driving his own car, for himself. Not a lot of "team" garbage.
Derrick was only 199 laps and the whole field of a win in 2021.
He was indeed married to Theresa in 1998 and right up until his death, She in fact, took over DEI after he died and is the owner of the team to this day.
i could only imagine how every Earnhardt fan felt when dale lost the lead on turn 4 on the last lap. gosh that wouldve ripped the soul out of me.
I believe that 2nd win was at Dover. Looked like he and the #10 were going to be a decent team for the future.
He won the 4th of his 7 titles, yet more people may probably remember the race he didn't win in 1990 than the 9 he did win.
What happened to Dale Earnhardt here = what happened to Toyota at 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans
(Different failures, I know, and they eventually won in 1998 and 2018 respectively)
oh no derrike cope is STILL racing in the xfinity along with morgan shepherd WOOOOW! and mike harmon, which he crashed at bristol 13 years ago, is still racing also in the xfinity! maybe bill elliott retired and also schrader retired. michael waltrip races only at superspeedway races except at indy, he races at daytona and talladega, but he said "i won't race again a full season, i will race only daytona 500, geico 500, coke zero 400 and alabama 500". he doesn't even retired from nascar. mark martin retired from nascar after the 2012 season. in nascar there is no age limit. frank kimmell is still racing in the arca racing series.
Teresa said yeah, get me some more money!!
The best Daytona 500 of the modern era was 1989, bar none.
DOPE COPE!!!
If you are talking about the kid Teresa is holding I think that is Taylor Nicole the only child who belonged to both Teresa and Dale Earnhardt. Note I did not use Sr. The big E would be ok but the man never used Sr.
not to mention after the fact of the tire going down, he held off 2 more former champs at the time!
Hal Houston is her father, Tommy is her uncle.
no problem. Meant to say 1990, not 1998They actually got married in 1982
This was almost 20 years ago.
nice
Sounds like Trevor Bayne and Cope had the same problem but who could blame them? Maybe in the future the teams will show the rookies where victory lane before anything else if their miracle comes through and they win the whole thing.
I think he was too serious at times, do down and "oooo look how bad this is". I think he sounded dumb, especially later on. Now, Bob Jenkins, THERE is an announcer. Include Paul Page in their too, and as for analysts: Ned Jarrett, Sam Posey, Tom Sneva, Neil Bonnett, Benny Parsons, and maybe DW. Chris belongs in the pits.
Doubt it. I think we can all agree he really never did much except for this.
yeah he was the best NASCAR announcers. The announcers in NASCAR we have today are embarrassing.
dale lost the car, had to chase her up the hill
@CelicaBlitzy On the other hand he compensated his bad luck with seven cup wins. Not a bad deal anyway!
well thats why he said it. It was a play on words intentionally
@CBright7831 He won another race that season. lol.
Look at all those frickin' birds. In almost every shot, they foreshadow what's to come...wait. No. Wrong 500. Never mind...
lmao.
Cope doesn't know where victory lane is.
haha.
I about pissed my pants when he said that awesome win Derrick❤️
Don't even begin to compare Sterling Marlin and Ward Burton to the likes of Derrike Cope and Michael Waltrip. Sterling and Ward pretty much had junk to drive for their whole careers, and their owners screwed them over just to put young drivers in their cars (Stremme, Wimmer) who did nothing but lower the team's respect level.
If you've been watching NASCAR for a while, you'd know that Sterling and Ward won other races on different tracks, unlike Michael Waltrip, and Derrike only won Dover.
Sterling drove the 40 Coors light car which was a top funded car and the 4 car of Morgan McClure was great on restrictor plate tracks. Ernie Ervin also won with it at Daytona. the 22 Bill Davis Car was a good ride. Cope's best funded ride was probably the 10 car but only after he won this race. They increased the funding after this win. Also, the 36 Skittles car was well funded but was a startup team and had first year gremlins. Cope actually ran very well in 1995 in the underfunded Bobby Allison #12. Of course, he did have great crew chiefs in Buddy Parrott at Whitcomb racing and Jimmy Fennig at Bobby Allison racing. I've learned that a great crew chief is probably as important as the driver.
well, 8 years later *hint hint*
Dale hit a seagull and took his arrow and almost hit the wall and lost the race.
