"Both those cars are driving terrible out there" "Naw, their driving good"
dgarr64 they’re*
I still laugh at that to this day!
that was sick!
@@yammmit who cares
Jason Roode Anyone with an IQ over 73.
"-Have you ever?"
"-NO IVE NEVER!"
Wow
never
Every non-NASCAR fan should watch this.
Show them the last 20 laps of this race!
I was a big fan! Until Pontiac left nascar. Greatest race I’ve seen. In my opinion
@@JR-jk5wz 17 years later and it's still the Best NASCAR finish ever! I remember watching this live when I was 9 years old!
yes
Agreed!! I literally just sent this to a non NASCAR fan friend of mine
“They touch! They touch!” “CRAVEN GOT HEEM!”
"Have you ever?"
@@Konformation07 "NO IVE NEVER!"
"Wow... what a finish! Ha ha ha!"
@@lancecurry7538 “That is one happy group right there!”
Although this was tied at Talladega in 2011, this is still several times better. I can watch this over and over and never get tired of it.
"Those cars are drivin' terrible!" "Nah, they're drivin' good!"
"HAVE YOU EVER?"
"NO I'VE NEVER"
Never gets old....
And today on 5/5/24 this record has been topped.
Craziest finish I've ever seen. It was close but Ricky Craven deserved it.
Ricky Craven saved Darlington.
@@acedelta12 yes he did
If NASCAR's new "20 minute caution" rule was applied, this finish never happens. The final 52 laps of this race were caution free
+mgomez2448 Hopefully it stays in the Truck series and dies at the end of the season.
It did. Thank god. At least stage racing is WAY better.
The final 20 were some of the best last 20 laps you'll ever see.
Caution Clock Was unnecessary 4 Years Later Good Riddance To That Decision
Watched this live with my dad he was screaming
I was doing the same with my Dad. Some of the best last 20 laps of a race you'll ever see. I swore Blaney was going to win after Craven and Busch wrecked each other lol
Hahaha, this was amazing back then. Not only is this race a throwback, but seeing Taurus and Pontiac in NASCAR is a throwback on it's own. Plus you gotta love Mike Joy and DW.
This was also the last win for Pontiac in Nascar Winston Cup stock car racing. Greatest finish in racing history and the closest one too. .002 seconds
21 year ride for this race. ‘Grats Larson.
And shame on Bowyer for butchering the moment
I can’t believe that after 21 years, this finish is *NO LONGER* the closest in the Cup Series! The 2024 Advent Health 400 took the spot with a margin that was .001 of a second.
Maaan, I always loved listening to The Fox dudes, Especially DW, He’s one cool cat.
And it’s finally been topped, over 20 years later…
Unfortunately, the booth hasn't
Who is here after Kansas 2024 arrives?? It's weird to think that this arrival is no longer the closest in history.
End of an era
Sad day because this one is legendary
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. true 😢
@@Memepostingyep
Now this is no longer the closest finish in NASCAR history as of today. Crazy.
no splitter, no aero push, no debris cautions, no Chase, Pontia
Remember this too. You said it right !!
+Manu14Smoke you can add no caution clock to the list
+Anthony Kernich what u can't add to the list is the new package we have. there have been better racing this year, 2 photo finishes. looks like NASCAR is back, and better than ever
I mean the cars do have splitters
I will never forget this race! This was the first year that I started watching Nascar on television. Me and my then girlfriend were watching this and were totally speechless at this race finish. Good times!
Even after Atlanta 2024, this finish still reigns supreme (margin and cup series wise)
YES.
Well...
Not now, larson just beat bustcher by ooo.1 , this was 0000.2
What about now?
The Power Of TIDE!!!!!!!!
And Pontiac too!
I remember watching this live with my dad. Good times. “Naw they’re driving good” lmao I’ll miss DW man!
That's Old-School NASCAR!
looks like old school NASCAR is back, two photo finishes this year already. thank the new low downforce package we have
@@dannicolmatthew segmented racing? no thanks
@@cranjismcbasketball1638 When did I ever mention stage racing. And I commented this 4 years ago wtf lol
@@dannicolmatthew 6* and yes segmented racing sucks
Crazy that its no longer the record
Best NASCAR race finish in history!
Absolutely. I remember watching this and thinking they were going to crash before the finish line
All Access Gaming IKR
All Access Gaming no the best was the finish of the 98 500 or the 01 Pepsi 400 at Daytona
Craven won by 0.002 seconds at the line
@Dominic’s Trains nope fact just like the fact Dale Earnhardt is NASCAR's greatest driver ever and the fact Jr is way better than cryle crybaby
WE GOT A NEW RECORD
With a CRINGE booth, though. THIS was the GOAT booth
i'm sure mrn made it better don't worry
@@S.K.R.E.Inc.
17 years after watching this live the first time, and I still get chills from this, wow :o
Just here to recognize the day this finish was beaten, i never thought I'd see the day
Today’s NASCAR fans will never understand how amazing this finish is
*Meanwhile Kansas 2024:*
They will today.
"larry mac-both these cars are driving terrible right now" "dw- oh no there driving good...real good"
Well now this finish has just been dethroned after that Kansas finish.
Yup, and if DW and LMC were still in the booth, they would have surpassed this call too
The closest finish in nascar history till tonight, larson and buscher
Mike Joy: HAVE YOU EVER..
DW: NO I'VE NEVER!
Greatest commentary ever :p
Who's here after the 2024 Kansas spring race?
Daniel Suarez just recreated this in Atlanta 2024, but three wide
That was magical. I'll never forget that race sooo good. I miss seeing Pontiac :(
One of my earliest memories in life was watching the finish to this race
This was dethroned as the closest finish ever this week. 0.001 seconds is the new record.
Gosh NASCAR was so fun in the early 2000s
I watched this live, best era of nascar 1999-2005
I remember hearing the end of that race on the radio from the back of our car as a kid on our way to church for the Sunday evening service. The announcers were going crazy as it was happening. I remember thinking, "Man, I wish I could have seen on TV."
I've watched this finish several times and it never gets old
Darlington raceway. I live 2 minutes away from the oval.
This is the closest the world has come to a last nanosecond finish.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the greatest finish in all of nascar history. At least imo.
I'm so happy for Craven. That must be amazing!
Welcome Atlanta 2024 viewers
I remember seeing this live and was by far the most exciting finish I've seen. Live, anyway.
Me after Atlanta
Seeing that beautiful Pontiac front end making that finish
Thanks to this race I got my first toy Nascar as a kid...Ricky Craven's no. 32 Tide!!!!!!!
Who’s here after Kansas 2024?!
Love Ricky he's my cousin. I watch this video Alot lol. Still such a badass race.
In retorspec 2003 was such a wild year for Darlington. This finish, the wild Busch series finish the next day between Bodine and McMurray and Terry Labonte's last Cup series win at the Southern 500. Darlington really had some magic in her
I remember my dad bought a brand new Grand Prix after this race happened 🤣
DW...Still a Tide man!
I remember watching this race as a kid.. Such a amazing race!.. When the announcers are enjoying the moment!.. You know it’s great racing!.. You tell DW was very in the moment. He loved this so much!…
This was the best NASCAR play-by-play crew in my opinion. Every finish was electric, this one was legendary. DW could turn anyone's head, fan or not
I love how old commentators made clear who they wanted to do well
Whos here after Atlanta!?
Who's here after Kansas?
This finish always puts a smile on my face
THIS FINISH HAS BEEN DETHRONED!! 2024 KANSAS IS NOW THE CLOSEST FINISH BY 0.001 !!! SECONDS !!!
I'm back here after the Ross Chastain Martinsville finish.
Same
man i love seeing this classic nascar clips from the 1990s and 2000s
HAVE YOU FOLKS EVER?!?! STRAIGHT OUTTA CARS BABY
AND AGAIN
2024 Atlanta
But with the OGs still in the booth. Last night's booth was unbearable
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. facts, for one of the greatest finishes in NASCAR history, the Atlanta call was horrendous. And I like Harvick in the booth. But Mike Joy needs to retire and Clint "Hot Rod" Bowyer is a joke.
HISTORY HAS BEEN REWRITTEN !!!
Might be one of the best calls in history
The first time I saw this was on the dvd: NASCAR Ultimate DVD Collection but I was pretty young so I didn't know that was the closest finish.
For those who didn’t know, this was the last year Pontiac was in NASCAR, and this was their last win. They went out with a bang!
I remember watching this when I was like 13.. aerodynamics dont matter much at Darlington but on a side note and because Darrell said the Pontiac's had a longer nose, well they didnt.. the ford and pontiac was the same length and angle..that year, in 2003 they finally let the Chevy's and Pontiac's extend their noses out a 1/2" or so but the Fords and pontiacs were still more aerodynamic than a chevy.. the Pontiac's back then had some potential to be fast because back then chevy had the best engines(although when has chevy not had the best engines) but anyway nascar let ford have a slicker more aerodynamic body to compensate for lack of power, and the Pontiac used chevy engines and their body's and front ends were slick and really aerodynamic more like the Fords, so the Pontiac's had the best overall cars really.. the Monte Carlo was a brick compared everything else but chevy still dominated because they had chevy engines, which were and still are the best ofcourse.. and more cars than pontiac and as many good race teams and drivers as anyone.. the only thing that held pontiac back was they didnt have big time race teams like all the other manufacturers did and they had the fewest cars out there.. but the Pontiacs were impressive nevertheless.. in order for ford to win they have to have the rules tilted in their favor quite a bit, see 2002(last time ford won a manufacturers title).. you'd be appalled by the differences in body shapes.. its hard to compete with GM.. too bad Toyota is out there racing and Pontiac's and Dodge's arent out there anymore.. sad really
Very well said! Miss Dodge and Pontiac.
I remember watching this when I was like six. It's was so awesome I went for the tide car cause it was colorful. But I was a rusty Wallace fun. But after he retired it was Jimmie all the way. And that was before he started winning so yeah
I remember seeing this as a kid and going nuts over this!😂
Beaten today…
Have you ever...? NO I'VE NEVER!!
This incredible race saved Darlington :)
I was like 3 months old but my dad watched this.live and be was like O_O He saw that Kurt was Cleary ahead, but I watched it again it was Craven
Pontiac Excitement!
What a way to get their final win in NASCAR
Was there sitting coming off turn four and all I saw was smoke . Great race!
I love your videos so much keep up the good work Man
“Damn ol boy really shot into him there” don’t hear that on the TV broadcast anymore.
He said Bam
0:31 my quote
*TWO ONE-THOUSANDTHS OF A SECOND.*
THAT WAS THE MARGIN.
always love watching this
Ricky Craven lived up the road from me in Newburgh, Maine and I lived in Monroe, Maine ! He was why I became a NASCAR fan as up to that point I only liked harness racing !!!
It is the only race I actually saw him win as his other win came on a Monday afternoon !!
what the 2021 southern 500 could’ve been
Whoa! CLOSEST FINISH @ DARLINGTON EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been 18 years since this finish happened
Probably my favorite finish of all time. But man, Larson made a ballsy move vs Buescher last night and it paid off. Wasn't quite as action packed as this though
This is when Nascar was at its Peak and now it's like what am l watching.
the holy grail of finishes
I miss Darrell Waltrip in the booth
One of the best I've ever watched
RIP Pontiac
I remember this! Great
The excitement in DW's voice is irreplaceable!
This race is no longer the closest finish. Kansas is the newest king of the closest finish ever
Craven got eem
I remember being on vacation with my entire family in Myrtle Beach…it was raining so we were inside the hotel and this race was in the tv.
My NASCAR friend sent me this, I can't with this guy bro-😊
We need Tide sponsorship back in NASCAR!!
Nathan Huth It is still here
Kenseth and Now That Jones Boy
