2001 Global Crossing at the Glen NASCAR Winston Cup Series Watkins Glen International August 12, 2001 Full race results - racing-reference.info/race/200...
I loved watching Ron Fellows and Boris Said shake the field up in the road races. It's a shame neither of them could seal the deal with a win in a Winston/Nextel/Sprint Cup race.
Boris actually had better results and chances to win a cup race at Daytona. He got a pole there and a couple top 5’s. One of those races he ran top 10 all night and seemed to be the car to beat.
@@osurocks24 he wanted to forget that whole month. From title contender to struggling to stay top 5 in points in 4 races. 2001 was great as a DJ fan until the last race of July 😭
the 2001 season was my favourite season by far. it was the year i started following nascar. none of this follow us on twitter shit. those were the days. beam me up and take me back. take me the fuck back...
@paulsack21 Mike Skinner was injured in an accident at Chicagoland. He gave the knee a little time to recuperate, then came back way too early. Knowing his career was in the balance, he left Childress early (he was going out anyway) to get the surgery done. In this race, NBC inadvertently cost Robby Gordon the win after the in-car camera caught fire, and thus the car wasn't safe to drive.
KA128183 NASCAR on NBC is back as of 2018. They cover the Coke Zero 400, Fall Talladega race, and the chase for the championship. Except that those races are either on NBC or NBC Sports Net.
Back when NASCAR was actually fun to watch. For me it was 2001-2007 but many think 1997-2003 was the best era for NASCAR. Either way it was great. I really enjoyed it when Fox and NBC took over coverage.
thank you for uploading this. ive been searching for this race for a long time. you did the right thing uploading this and you will go to heaven for sure when you die.
Totally agree man. Back then i wouldn't miss nascar races. Now a days i work a lot if i can see the race ill watch it but if i miss it i don't really care.
2001 Global Crossing @ The Glen Location: Watkins Glen, New York Track: Watkins Glen International Type of race track: Road Course Starting cars: 43 Finishing cars: 35 Laps: 90 Cautions: 5 Pole Winner: Dale Jarrett (88) Most laps led: Jeff Burton (99) (30 laps led) Race Winner: Jeff Gordon (24)
1:15:30 the fire that ended Robby's run. GPS telemetry equipment for the telecasts malfunctioned. The next year, he gave the NBC crew a model of his burned up car. Heh
can someone remind what happened when skinner got back in the 31 (if he even did) at michigan why he left the 31 and robby came back? its so long ago i cant remember. hmm it just hit me that ive been into this sport for a while (12 years) and im only 17.
Mike Skinner was injured at Chicago and never came back to racing till the following year, he was let go by RCR and signed a deal for the Kodak 4 car after that team Morgan-McClure dealt with multiple drivers after they had Robby Gordon for the first 5 not including the Daytona 500 qualifier races, then it was Kevin Lepage, and Bobby Hamilton Jr., for the remainder of 2001.
Well it's a combination of things. The new NASCAR fans are idiots, the racing isn't as good anymore, Brian France (don't get me started) they won't let the drivers settle their on track issues, they can't speak their mind. But what has really been missing is the drivers have been missing a spokesman, if you will since Dale died. Fucking miss that guy, I may be a die hard Gordon fan but Dale Sr. was and always be the man!
Ron Fellows From Canada?...What's With Non-American Drivers Racing In The Sprint Cup Series In 2001? P.S We Have The Only Australian Driver In This Series Is Marcos Ambrose.
because Ron Fellows was a road course ringer and had been for years in NASCAR up until that point. he was the only non-American driver to run a cup race in 2001

I'll always remember this as the race Jeff Gordon learned how to do a proper burnout, courtesy of Kevin Harvick. Thanks for the post, man!

Boris Said has retired from racing this past season.
Boris actually had better results and chances to win a cup race at Daytona. He got a pole there and a couple top 5’s. One of those races he ran top 10 all night and seemed to be the car to beat.
Dale Jarrett's best friend: the sand trap in turn 1
yep lol
That was the most memorable part of the race, him going in the sand trap not once but twice. Boy, did he want to forget that day.
@@osurocks24 he wanted to forget that whole month. From title contender to struggling to stay top 5 in points in 4 races. 2001 was great as a DJ fan until the last race of July 😭

28:28 and 1:23:31 gotta love Wally, and Benny in the booth XD
Don't forget Allen.
At 43:15 Gordon was trailing by like 5 sec and he gained it all back on pit road wow

1:17:06 Most random top 5 ever before heading to the commercial break.
At 26:47, "We're f*ckin' stuck!"
As great a superspeedway driver as Dale was, he was never a great road racer.
"Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch!"
Actually, he was pretty good. He won at Watkins Glen in the Busch Series, vs Ron Fellows.
@@Ernde38 Different Dale
Didn't Stop Jarrett from Winning The 1999 Winston Cup Series Championship
@@DupontandLowesWarrior because there were only 2 road courses dumbass
I remember this race....It started at 11 AM, and I tuned in at about 1:30 when the races normally started.
I could not have been pissed off more...
Good race !!! Elliott Sadler on the last lap was hilarious.
OMG. ONE OF THE FIRST RACES I EVER WATCHED. ;)
Anyone else agree that mark martins viagra paint scheme for this year was amazing?
Greatest Man That Ever Lived he really drove that car hard ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
jeremeymcdude lol he did , wonder how he felt about that car? :p
2004-05 was Better Looking
That damn NBC telemtry box cost him.....
1:03:24 never noticed that save by Burton into 1, AMAZING save
Matt Bachman I can't believe the commentators didn't say anything
Ward or Jeff?
@@zanemarte9877 Jeff. The 99 on screen
@@zanemarte9877 open your eyes
RIP Benny Parsons
NBC was awesome back in the old days. I wish they were still around.
KA128183 NASCAR on NBC is back as of 2018. They cover the Coke Zero 400, Fall Talladega race, and the chase for the championship. Except that those races are either on NBC or NBC Sports Net.
Gosh i loved hearing the Fuel Instrumental music!

Good ol' wheel hop. Gets the best of them EVERY TIME!
Thanks for this excellent race!

I was born 10 years too late
Started watching full time around 09, the gen 6 cars have been WAY better than gen 5 but man I miss these gen 4 cars
Gen 4 and Gen 3 are the best cars NASCAR history. With Gen 4 being more exciting out of the 2 of them.
osurocks 24 agree 100%
thanx for the vids
Cool race to watch ty
Something about watching stock cars that have no business being on a road course is great much better than today's
@CarMan792 the only thing I liked that he did was the "you don't have to look it up because we already did" those had some fun facts in them
@CarMan792 -- I think that intro was prewritten for him.
1:15:30 the fire that ended Robby's run. GPS telemetry equipment for the telecasts malfunctioned. The next year, he gave the NBC crew a model of his burned up car. Heh
I Was There!!!!!
Race In Peace John Andretti.
@TheEgg185 This was my 1st year I started to really watch nascar completely too. We made a wise choice!
can someone remind what happened when skinner got back in the 31 (if he even did) at michigan why he left the 31 and robby came back? its so long ago i cant remember. hmm it just hit me that ive been into this sport for a while (12 years) and im only 17.

Too bad for Robby Gordon his terrible attitude spoiled his on-track talent. Losing your ride to mediocrities like Kevin Lepage or Mike Skinner...
looking at pit stops in this era makes me curious how they dropped so much time. oh wait, failed college athletes and lots of training.
I miss the old Watkins glen with the sandtraps. I know its safer now with the pavement, but the sandtrap always was entertaining to me.
@Nascarboy426 mee too
Final New York Race with the World Trade Center.
2:00:00-would def. be a caution now
yeah. something just isnt the same.
Bring back this broadcast team and have Dale Jr. take BP's (rip 😭) spot

Forgot how screwed you were if you lost a lap back then
10:00 green flag
Ron Fellows From Canada?...What's With Non-American Drivers Racing In The Sprint Cup Series In 2001? P.S We Have The Only Australian Driver In This Series Is Marcos Ambrose.
You must be new to Nascar
Marcos Ambrose has left NASCAR for V8 Supercross at his home country of Australia. He only had 2 wins in his career, at Watkins Glen.
because Ron Fellows was a road course ringer and had been for years in NASCAR up until that point. he was the only non-American driver to run a cup race in 2001
Put some respect on Ron Fellows’ name, Mr. Boggs! The greatest driver to ever come from the “Great White North”, bar none...
Damn Gordon was good there
