This package was so different because the cars drove like shit and the track was worn, good handling cars made the difference and it was a fine line in getting a good driving car. Tire conservation made a difference here, not just HP. If you brought these cars back, you couldn’t replicate it. The engineers and crew chiefs know too much about aero now. This was truly a great time.
I was at this race when I was 11, seeing Dale Sr climbing up the field was a sight to behold. Even at 33 years old I still shed a tear when I see The Intimidator just shred and cut through the field.
What was it like? I only got into nascar heavily last year but as someone that watched one of the best generations of racing nascar ever had can you explain in as much detail as you can what it was like being there and seeing all these legends race
@@thedistractedcanadian4355 he’s good at intimidating at everyone. Push to get out of the way. Keep going race even body damaged and won. Many times he crashed, worst one than Feb 2001. He even cleaning his windshield during race. Too many history about him. Hell he’s 7 time championship
The 1999 package is highly underrated. Extremely fast pole speeds around 199 mph with 205-208 in thr draft. The Daytona 500 was a classic and the other dega race won by sr had some wild moments
Sir I do believe that you're mistaken. The pole speeds were fast back then because with the qualifying setups they were able to use very soft rear springs to get the rear spoiler out of the air which caused the faster speeds. However it was not stable enough to race with so they would put the harder springs back in to make it stable enough to run in a pack. Which slowed the cars down substantially, even in the draft. From everything that I've seen, pack drafting speeds never really hit above that 195-200 speeds. However if you have some proof of what you say, I would love to see it and recall my statement. PS, I do agree with you that this package is highly underrated, it provided excellent racing that wasn't as luck based like it is today.
This package was great though regardless the speed. A better car could stay in front but had to manage the gap to maintain it. The leader could be passed but he could make them work for it. The next package made it where the lead was where you didn't want to be.
I was there to watch qualifying I still have the ticket, It scared the shit out of me, I have never seen a piece of metal move that fast, They won't ever do this again
Dale Sr.’s stats on plate tracks this year was unreal never finished lower than 2nd. Swept both Talladega races and finished 2nd at both Daytona races and that same car also won a Gatorade 125 that year as well. I also think this same car is the one the ran in all plate races in 2000 where it won in its last race. The RCR plate program was always so strong and plus it did hurt having the best driver ever to hold a wheel.
I wasn’t around during the Dale Sr era but my family’s always been Earnhardt fans so it made me feel good to watch this. In those last few laps I was cheering for Dale like I was there, I felt like I was watching it live and it was awesome.
nascar was such a big part of childhood in the late 90s and early 2000s. Now we know why our dads loved it so much. It’s just something that can’t be replicated. RIP DAD

Seeing Dale Sr in this race shows just how much his knowledge and dominance of plate tracks. In my opinion Dale Sr is the greatest restrictor plate racer there ever was...
Earnhardt was the master at Talladega especially there towards the end of his life. I was at both of those Talladega races that year thankfully and even as a kid I could tell I was watching something very special. Of course nobody knew that in less than two years he would lose his life. But I'm sure if you could ask him today he would tell you he died a happy man doing what he loved.
He was getting healthy again after some nagging injuries the previous few years. His 99/2000 was great....shame we never got to see what 01 would have brought
Im from Argentina I was 4 in 99 and the ps1 game Nascar Rumble introduced too all these amazing machines and sport. The best era of nascar was the late 90s, hell the late 90s was the best time for almost everything sports, movies, videogames, everything was better in the late 90s. I remember the hot wheels cars was my favorite because i had like 100 hot wheels cars from the 90s i loved them
Watched this race at my best friends house. 11 years old. Now as an adult I have a completely different appreciation for the speed, tech, and strategy.
Bring back NASCAR with boom tube exhaust. Every one of these cars had boom tubes with a x-pipe. I was at this race at the age of 13 My very first NASCAR event Big Dale Earnhardt fan#3. This is what NASCAR supposed to look and sound like
What a awesome sight..... Back when NASCAR was on top.... Stands are completely full and the black number 3 on the move. I liked Earnhardt but I've always been a Jeff Gordon fan. Just imagine how exciting it would have been if they had stages back then. NASCAR is getting better but they have a long ways to go to be where it once was. Been a fan since 1989. Watching these races from the 90's I'm amazed more drivers weren't killed at these super speedways.... No neck protection whatsoever.
Not to be a smarta$$, but actually Jenkins called his 1999 wins at spring talladega and Bristol. His only 2000 win on ESPN was fall talladega, which you're correct Doc was the color commentary. Actually side note Jenkins called his 2000 Atlanta win with BP and Evernham. I miss the broadcast team of Jenkins, BP, Ned, Doc, Bill Weber, and Ray Dunlap. They were a great team!
While Bob Jenkins did not call this win or his final one the next year in this same event, he did call each of the wins prior to those races (spring Talladega event in ’99 [ABC], night race at Bristol in ’99 [ESPN] and the spring running of Atlanta in 2000 [ABC]). Doc Punch filled in for him in this case due to Bob’s mother having passed away during this race weekend (makes note of it in the post-race coverage not shown here, but in another upload of this same race here on RUclips), and would fill in for him the next fall due to the IRL season finale taking place on the same day at Texas Motor Speedway, which Bob had obligations to call.
