  • 2002 Bristol Night Race final 11 laps where Jeff Gordon uses the bumper to move past Rusty Wallace in the late stages of the race. Includes post-race interviews, which are always fun after the bump and run. Get rid of the dirt and run at night on the pavement. Let the drivers create excitement.

    I’ll never forget this night, screaming at the tv when the 24 closed the distance. That rear shot of Rusty’s car with the Du Pont logo bumping his ass out of the way. Good times, much simpler times.

    Did you notice a bump and run not a hit and crash. Big difference from racing now. I like the old style.

    Gordon was faster. In two laps he gapped Rusty. Rusty was guarding the bottom, so 24 had to move him to get by.

    Right tire is not spinning. Maybe that was their trick. (Traction control controversy) maybe that was the trick not tc. Something in the diff instead to put more power to the LR. The right will always break grip first on an oval. I’m a Gordon fan and respect the ingenuity, not throwing shade.

    • @rustyevans3592
      @rustyevans3592 Год назад +2

      Something like that at short tracks is a huge advantage where saving the RR is huge, could explain Gordon’s dominance at short tracks especially in that era.

      If you're talking about when he is doing the burnout that is simply the banking on the straight away pitching the rear of the car which is pretty common.
