This race is so bittersweet to me. Mark Martin is my favorite race car driver of all time, but damn, this entire race was so good. The run of domination from Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart in the beginning, a perfect amount of cautions throughout the race, the night time finish, the comeback of Kevin Harvick, the photo finish, massive wreck at the end, Clint Bowyer's spectacular finish, it was all just so perfect. This is my favorite race in the history of motorsports and proof that NASCAR didn't turn bad once Dale Earnhardt died. How I wish that Mark held off Kevin though
@@luisayalajr8139 I think it is to do with the feel of this actual race, a lot of people were expecting a win, especially MM and the other drivers, the build up, the drafting, and then the spectacular finish, you don't like it then that's fine, we all have our own opinions. I like Kevin Harvick so agreed I am a bit biased, but I actually wanted MM to win after all those years of trying and coming close... as did nearly everyone... that was MM's best shot, but it wasn't to be..... Kevin messed up the party ha ha.... hence it was a show stopper!
I watched this race live and my family came and just watched with me… The last lap really caught their attention and the same year they took me to my first race (of 3) at talladega… 1 hour away from my house
I felt for Mark Martin I really wanted to see him win 1 500 and I was hoping that NASCAR would've thrown the yellow flag when Kyle Busch spun. That being said, WHAT A FINISH!!!
@@rhys3089 I was just thinking that because so many cars wrecked at one time, but of course my 9-year-old self(I was 9 at the time) wasn't thinking about the wreck being behind them.
This is my favorite 500 race Kevin Harvick’s win and Matt Kenseth Saved at the end of the race and I love they stared day time to night time and the gen 4 sounds omg!!!!!
The sound comes from The Collector pipe. The header pipes run into the exhaust pipe which meets The Collector and that's where that sound come from. It depends on how the baffles are designed inside the collector as the exhaust passes through those baffles and then exits
I have bad long term memory but I remember this like it was yesterday. I was 8, I was rooting for Martin, and im not ashamed to admit I cried. And then I went to pizza hut with my grandparents.
There's also more to it and how the exhaust is designed which is complicated to put in a comment section however the reason that used that exhaust in that era was because even though they are wide open with a restrictor plate, it makes the power evenly through the RPM band. Helps gain RPM back if they did have to crack out of the throttle also. From Spring 2004 through Spring 2007 at Daytona and Talladega the Hendrick cars actually had more the old style exhaust and it had a flatter sound. Next time anybody watches try to see if you notice how the Hendrick cars with a loud flat sound

I have too those bittersweet memories of this race I wanted to see Mark Martin finally win the Daytona 500 and he was that close, and Kevin Harvick who will retire after this season got his only Daytona 500.
I was at this race. Drunk as a skunk. Just remember never seeing JR again and not know what actually happened to him. Thanks to technology, I now know what happened. He ran into the back of rudd. He probably did it for Dale

@@deeperllama6147 let's be honest, it's ALREADY hard to watch the current state of NASCAR lol. The fact of the matter is, newer fans who only know modern NASCAR (and still think it's good) NEED to see how GREAT it used to be to gain perspective on what they're seeing now. A lot of younger fans will see people like myself shitting on the current "product" (there's a word that should never be associated with legitimate auto racing), and say "You just don't like change, you stupid boomer! Get with the times!". Personally, I have zero issue with things changing or evolving with the times... when the things being changed make the sport better. But when the last 15+ years have been spent making changes that stifle innovation, fairness, and legitimacy... I tend to frown upon where we are versus where we came from lol.
ALMOST SQUEEZED HARVICK INTO THE WALL AND HERE COMES HARVICK THE 29 with Matt Kenseth. Harvick’s getting a run off turn 4. There will be a drag race all the way to the start/finish line! No caution, THEY’RE SIDE BY SIDE BACK TO THE LINE! Dark crash here they come checkered flag….. HARVICK!

Nascar didn't turn bad when Earnhardt died. Nascar turned bad when they introduced the chase.
@@jesuschristislord6790 when they wanted too be “popular”
Smoke and Kurt Busch would normally get mad if they get involved in a wreck. If Kyle Busch got involved, he'd EXPLODE.
God damn, I miss the sound of these cars soooooo much
This is, without a doubt in my mind, the greatest race in nascar history
As a Harvick fan, I couldn't agree more.
completely agree, I use this race to introduce nascar to my mates in the UK, yes I am a british nascar fan. :)
Because of a finish? This 500 suck. 2002 Daytona 500 tops this race without that finish the 2007 had

One of the best most exciting finishes I've ever seen

First NASCAR race that I remember
That friggin x-pipe exhaust is THE sound of NASCAR, but I love the dual exhaust of today.
I watched this race live and my family came and just watched with me… The last lap really caught their attention and the same year they took me to my first race (of 3) at talladega… 1 hour away from my house
Actually 45 minutes from my house
I remember this race very well. Went to my local flea market then got back home and watched the race. I was so excited about this particular 500
This is what started me as a Bowyer fan. I saw this on TV then I was at the Pepsi 400 later that year fully decked out in Bowyer 07 merch.
My favorite race of all time. Harvick fan since 07 when i was 4, there was just something about that bright yellow shell car.
Bro Harvick, who start 34th, at one point was back in 37th and won it! The Closer in his best race
Thank you so much. Shouts from Mainz, Germany!
Thanks for posting!!
I miss these days!!!
Did no one notice that not only did they wreck each other, but Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart qualified on the same row as each other
Watching this race makes me miss what NASCAR was like. I just can't get behind the 2022 seaso
I felt for Mark Martin I really wanted to see him win 1 500 and I was hoping that NASCAR would've thrown the yellow flag when Kyle Busch spun. That being said, WHAT A FINISH!!!
Why would u thrown a caution when there is two cars side by side coming to the line

Joe Kaput there wouldn’t of been any point cause they where coming out of four, so when the leader crossed the line then caution should come out

Just realized, Harvick won this race the same month and day Dale Sr. passed away.
Same with Austin Dillon in 2018
Be real, everyone is here for the final lap
First Daytona 500 I ever watched.
Dale Jarrett in 2000 & Jeff Gordon in 1999 we're the last two pole winners to win the Daytona 500 at this point in time.
This is the first race I ever watched. Dang do I wish Mark Martin had won.

Kurt Busch: Miller lite
