Lucky enough to see this in person. Dale's last win
I'm kinda curious too. I mean it must have been really cool to be in the stands to watch that.
I can't speak for Tom or this race but when Earnhardt was racing there was an excitement in the air the guys in this era wasn't afraid to rub a little paint with one another good ole days
My parents were there too!
Me too
thats amazing, i watched this live on tv in person
This really has to be one of the clutch moments of all time no matter what sport. What Earnhardt did those last few laps was frickin incredible.
that side drafting to get around skinner was sick!
He went from 20th to 1st in 6 laps, that's insane.
Dale Earnhardt is Simply Amazing........
I think the craziest part of that is that he went from 18th to 5th in TWO laps. 18th with 4 to go, 5th with 2 to go. That's just nuts.
Mr restrictor plate
That's not insane... That's Earnhardt.
@@GhostmotorfingerMore like Earnhardt taking full advantage of the superspeedway package that had roof spoilers and lipped rear spoilers.
So grateful to be there in person for Dales last win,unbelievable day indeed
In just 20 years all these drivers are gone.
The most recent NASCAR Cup Series race run with no active drivers
This comment aged well lmao
@@seamuso7020 Kurt Busch and Newman raced against him
@SammyInABox 1 Newman had 1 Cup start in 2000, most likely Dale was in that race. Then "that" first race of 2001, I'd have to check if Ryan was in that one, he had 8 starts that season.
@@tomcurran860 Yeah. Jimmie Johnson just missed, I know they were never in the same race, but would have been...... Kurt and Kenseth may be the only actives to have raced with Darrell Waltrip. Maybe Newman with his one race in 2000.
Sick days and snow days. Watching The Price is Right with grandma. Summer days watching Nascar with grandpa. Ahhh the memories.
I was lucky I got to see Earnhardt's entire career. He's was my favorite driver and will always be the greatest NASCAR driver to me. Can't believe its been 20 years. I'm almost 50 now. Time sure flies by.
I wasn't lucky enough to watch Dale's entire career born in 88 didn't start following nascar until 95
But I did get to watch Dale for 6 years he was my favorite too 20 years later and I still miss him greatly
@@rcracer8872 My Jerry and I married in 1991 which was when I started watching the races then with Jerry. We both singled out Dale Earnhardt Sr as our favorite driver of all time. Even Sugar Bear our beloved service dog seemed liking watch Dale race. We cheered and celebrated Dale's Daytona 500 win. On February 18th 2001 all of us cried when Dale crashed and obeyed God's calling to race for Him. We love him dearly and will continue to do so. Jerry and Sugar Bear and Fred and Cliff are enjoying Dale race in Heaven. Bear and I will join them all later!😇😇😇😇😇3️⃣🚖👩🦳🐕🥰🥰🥰🥰
I was lucky to see his last 6 wins, started watching in 97, was a gordon fan but my dad was a big Earnhardt fan
Probably my all-time favorite race. Fantastic, clean racing all day with a variety of different drivers taking turns leading the field, only for all of that to be capped off with Earnhardt's incredible driver to the front for what would be his final career victory.
It doesn't get much better than this.
Gen-4 cars sound like a symphony to me.
I was 8 years old when this race took place. Remember watching it like it was yesterday. Best all-around plate package that these cars ever had.
Nah, current plate package is better
Wild Card 26 - The current package tries to recreate this, but doesn’t even come close. Too artificial and too many “big ones”. The current cars don’t sound half as good, either.
Who knows... maybe the gen 7 car will bring something good.
Drive DB7 maybe the wicker bill that was used at SuperSpeedways in 2000 and 2001 could fix the problem, despite the cars being drastically different?
@@drivedb7 "Too artificial" my ass. Too many big ones is the only one I'll give you & how does the sound of the cars determine how a race is run?
Plus, the new package has given us better finishes than the old one has.
I was 13 years old when this race aired on TV, i remember watching it and wondering how Dale Earnhardt managed to do that, still do even almost 20 years later
so ur 26 now?
@@NeilDaltonMetteer 36
2:20:22 :
*"And Earnhardt is going for the lead!"*
That's actually the 2nd time he says that in the race
Way to go Dale!
“From 17th spot in four laps to lead it…”
Chills.
I was at this race. The only NASCAR race I've ever been to. I was 10 years old. Didn't realize it was Dale's last win until years later. Helluva drive Mr. E!
Earnhardt... Side drafting before side drafting was cool.
Every time I watch those last laps, I literally tear up. I was never a huge Earnhardt fan as a kid (I was 10 when this aired), but on this day he won me over. He had finally re-emerged as a true, legitimate weekly contender after a few bad years plagued by lingering injuries only to have it cut short the following February.
Ahhhhh. The old espn speedworld theme
Yup it’s etched into my my brain as well
My grandfather checked me out of school the very next day and I got to meet Dale and get his autograph
The greatest come from behind victory ever in racing.
close pack racing without 14 crashes. I miss that.
If anyone ever doubts that he isn’t the best driver to ever walk this earth just need to watch this. His skills will never be matched by anyone but his determination is what really sets him apart
I miss this era so much
The number on the passenger side completely rubbed out. legend
Did anyone else know that the day before this race Tony Roper lost his life in a crash at Texas since this race overlooked Roper's death due to Dale winning this race
Cant believe it'll be 20 years next year that Dale Sr. passed away 😢😢 RIP Intimidator, you're the true legend that we never forget!
The Greatest Of All Time, Dale Earnhardt!
Sorry sir, but it’s the King Richard Petty.
@@earlymorninstonedpimp Only to one who knows nothing about NASCAR. Even "The King", says Earnhardt was the greatest off all time.
Nice try.
Chad Little’s final start in the #97 John Deere Ford Jack Roush machine. Of course Little was in the race via more experience at the time than Kurt Busch on these types of tracks. Also Chad was already let go by Roush Racing but was quickly put back in the car for one more race.
I remember how popular NASCAR was. 170k people. Even Bristol selling out over 100k every race
Woah
Man I miss this type of racing and sound of the cars!
Crazy to think none of the drivers in this race are still racing today.
Just Matt Kenseth, but it's only for a season
I really thought Earnhardt was toast but he came roaring back for an epic win.
HE WAS IN 18TH PLACE WITH 4 LAPS TO GO... THAT IS UNBELIEVEABLE HE WON THIS...
2001 EA Sports 500 please! Keep these great uploads coming!!
I was at the 2001 EA Sports 500... Incredible race.
your wish is granted
My favorite race of all time! First race with the wicker/roof fin package and it was a huge success initially. Very clean race for Talladega's standards the drivers really used their heads out there that day and put on a good clean show without having to freight train around the top or bottom all race. Dale Jr looked like the rookie he was on those final few laps he made several mistakes in the draft that cost him a win or a top 3 finish and was lucky to not cause the big one on the last lap
he was a rookie at this time lol.
Absolute classic. Those Gen-4 cars were something special, especially at Daytona and Talladega.
I live in Wausau Wisconsin. I remember the day like it was yesterday. The bar was packed! As it was every Sunday back then. When our man, Dave Marcis took the lead, I bet they were hearing us in Talladega. The 50 of us in this tiny bar were louder than the 100,000 fans in the stands that day! An incredible moment that I’ll never forget. Oh and Dale won.
I watched qualifying for the race. When Dave got 9th I was so excited for him. I was hoping he'd have stayed up in front longer. Actually had a shot to win had he not dropped out around lap 100. He always seemed to run well in those mid late 90s 'Dega races.
This reminds me of my childhood (5-6 y/o) playing NASCAR '98 and NASCAR 2000 on PS1 and NASCAR Revolution on PC. This was the best era NASCAR ever had.
Remember the paint ball cheat on Nascar 98?
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I watched this race live and the last 3 laps about 100 times. Never would of thought it would of been Dale's last win. Sure do miss him.
He was a legend
The only race I made it to was Loudon in 03. Unfortunately I never saw Dale live. I was a Gordon fan but didn't want to see anyone get hurt let alone killed. Rip Dale
I went to loudon when I was younger 2010-12 and I’m going again this year, hope for a good race
Happy Birthday Dale Earnhardt you’d of been 71 yrs old today 21 yrs later your missed just as much as if you left us yesterday R.I.P hope you was at the gate and held your momma’s hand when she arrived!
This was the most awesome display of driving skill on a superspeedway you will ever see.
The intimidator will always be nascar's greatest driver ever. 19 years and still miss him alot
yea no, dipshit earnhardt ain’t the greatest driver, he’s only the sentimental greatest
RC RACER 88 Hi Kyle Busch Hater!
Yeah, we don't need another flame war here. He didn't say anything about how bad Kyle Busch is, so just leave it be. I disagree that he is the best NASCAR driver ever, but he is easily one of the greatest. He's also probably the the most important and liked driver in NASCAR history aside from his son. So yeah, I wouldn't say he's the absolute best talent wise, but we don't need to go searching for a fight. He's a great driver with a decent heart and a good following. That's really where the discussion should end.
I love Dale, but he is not the best, IMO. The King(Named for a reason), Richard Petty is the best. Dale's better than Jimmie, too. I've said this for years, as well.
@@Theel25 Truthfully, you can never really tell who the best of all time is. In my eyes, there are 9 drivers (yes, NINE) who you can make a case for being the best of all time: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, David Pearson, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Bobby Allison, Darrell Waltrip, Cale Yarbourough, Kyle Busch (I'm being serious), and Herb Thomas. Some guys have stronger arguments than others, but if you really want me to list out the reasons for each one, I will.
THE BEST NASCAR
the conversion is really good on this.
Some suggestions: 1993 Winston 500, 2001 Talladega 500, 2006 Aaron's 499, 2007 Aaron's 499, 2009 Aaron's 499, 2010 Aaron's 499, and 2011 Aaron's 499.
Scuderia Kasey Dixon hopefully if the 2006 & 2007 spring Talladega races will be uploaded in 16:9. The rest don’t matter since we know that the 2009-present races will be in 16:9 & the races through 2002, 2003, 2004 will be in 4:3.
The best to ever do it
Daytona 500 1998!!!
Here’s something crazy, had Dale Sr loss that Talladega race, his final win would had Atlanta and the next year Kevin Harvick got his first win at Atlanta driving Sr’s car
I scraped my knuckle on the ceiling when he went to the front.
Oh man looks so nice in 60FPS
Mr Restrictor Plate came out of nowhere. Love it.
He "could" see the air. His side drafting was unmatched.
I miss this generation of cars couldn't go as fast but the drivers could actually race each other.
20 years ago today
Daleadegga 🏆🐐
Classic Nascar racing, class Earnhardt, Rest Easy.
Some fantastic old school Nascar racing I love it
I am a fan of dale earnhardt sr and I will always be a fan
He was a true man and and a true racecar driver
I have watched this race many times and man the commentary on those final lap 2 laps are amazing 💯
Most exciting thing I ever saw by the Greatest.
"THE MAN" know he was driving when he came to the front like that!!!Can still remember like yesterday jumping off the couch & being soooo pumped up when he started moving forward like that!!!UNREAL talent that'll NEVER be in NASCAR AGAIN!!Earnhardt had more drive to WIN than the entire field that races today!!A bunch of spoiled rich kids in what used to be a man's sport but now it's a joke & has been since that unfateful day in Daytona almost 20 years ago!!!
Thanks NASCAR for the upload.
"I hated to beat Mike Skinner but I had to beat him for a million"
Absolutely wild. Thats a different kind of mastery
I was sitting in the Talladega tower right past the start finish line, best plate race I've ever watched
man that theme music is so nostalgic
Thanks for the Bump draft Kenny
Amazing Race! Thanks @NASCAR for the RACE!
How awesome would it be to a nascar driver in a talladega race...but even more awesome to be bump drafting your DAD down the back straightaway! Absolute goosebumps watching this so can’t imagine it live! It’s on my bucket list. I’m from the UK so don’t know if that will ever happen
Dale Earnhardt convinced me this race that he really can see the air. I can’t even pass 17 cars on a video game. I have videos here to prove it haha.
Mike Jonez Dale Earnhardt was the best restrict plate racer by far.
Jeff Gordon for sure.
Neither can I! When I play NASCAR 09 I usually wreck before I can pass 4 cars
buggieboi8788 right? Haha did you have any other NASCAR games?
Mike Jonez I had NASCAR Thunder 2003 for the PS1, and then a few years later I got NASCAR 14 and NASCAR Heat 4
NASCAR needs to bring back these cars
The most recent Cup Series race run with no active drivers
Kenseth, but he's just doing it for this year
That was a very exciting final 10 laps. Dale was in 22nd, but beside that, all the inside and outside line changes from all the different drivers we don't see anymore.
This just might be the greatest race of all time
this was when nascar was still good without all the chase and playoff bullshit
I know you're not a bot, but you're always say the same thing, people get it, you don't like the current point system, just move on.
PS : I agree with you about the point system though.
stop repeating yourself
This is the pack racing I want back. It’s pack racing, but not full blown pack racing we have today. It’s not guaranteed nose to nose double wide racing for 500 miles. This was exciting. Today just isn’t the same
1997 Winston 500 please!
The fastest NASCAR of all time: 188.354 mph.
Yes pls
@@S1apShoes
I found the Mark Martin fan :D
@@S1apShoes holy shit nice to see S1ap arpund these parts
The Restrictor Plate Magician! Best driver in the history of the sport!
I rate Jeff Gordon one spot higher.
Thanks for the memories Dale!!!
After this race, Terry Labonte would not lead another lap until Martinsville in April of 2002. 48 races later.
5:32 race start
This race had everything and ended with a multi car wreck because they were 6 wide at the line. Historic race.
When a tire blows at 190 mph the competition says have a nice day
1:00:57 Well we saw Dale Earnhardt Jr push his father around let's see if Dad can return the favor and push Jr around.
The subtitles think the engine sound is music and I can’t agree more
Great racing at Dega!
THE definitive NASCAR race.
More suggestions: 2001-04 EA Sports 500 races, 2005 UAW-Ford 500, 2007 UAW-Ford 500, 2011 and 2012 Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 races.
I would love to see them do the 2001 and 2002 EA Sports 500. Could see finally see some pristine footage for that time vs the VHS uploads of those races on here now.
I miss real nascar no stupid stages or playoffs
nobody cares boomer
@@chatinwarnation9079 I'm a millennial try again dumbass 🤣🤣🤣
@@chatinwarnation9079 obviously you do since you responded dumbass 🤣🤣🤣
i agree stages are corny and the cars are lame af
With 5 laps left, old Earnhardt didn't even look like he would factor into the equation; next thing you know, the #3 car is in 6th place, and things were ON... Masterful driving from a true legend... Oh, how he is missed.
I think Kevin Hamlin, who was the crew chief for Dale, is the crew chief for Denny Hamlin today.
"How did he GET THROUGH ALL THESE CARS?! I don't UNDERSTAND...how he DID THAT!!" Benny Parsons' incredulous reaction to Sr. popping up at the front at JUUUUSSSTTT the right time is an all-time commentary classic. It ranks up there with, "And we'll see you tomorrow night!"
One of my favorite calls by Benny, i miss his commentary 😪
i get goosebumps on that part
This was way better than the ‘22 Yellawood 500
Legend!
Happy 4/20
1:54:30 Dale Earnhardt passing his Son.
The guy was a damn magician at the plate tracks
It's like they often said of him, "He can see the air." He just had such an incredible sense of how to make use of the draft. He could find a slipstream where nobody else could.
People won’t admit that today’s plate track package is the closest it’s ever been to this one
The only thing that is different is in these cars you could block and not take out half the field. I don't know how NASCAR can fix that though, without taking away what makes this package good minus the last 20 laps.
Josh Jarnagin - The closing rate is so much higher with today’s superspeedway package. I’m no expert, but I suspect that the huge runs the drivers are able to get now has a lot to do with how sealed off the cars are. Even the rear fenders look like they’re an inch or two off the pavement. That and untimely blocks are largely the culprit for so many “big ones” today and it’s frustrating to watch.
Agreed. Only thing better about the 00-01 package is less Congo line, better sound, and the ability to move from the back to the front without taking the whole field out on every move.
Darren Ayotte I believe the sound is because of the dual exhaust system that ran at the time. The current car only has it going out the right side but the NextGen car brings back the dual exhaust and in turn that noise again
170,000 fans just in the stands.
Another 25k in the infield,
America was normal then bro was for Dale the Intimidator I liked Labonte Dale would be at the back of the pack then out of nowhere you see him creep up next he's taking the checkered flag nothing lasts forever at least he was able to race with his son good memories
16:39 man you hardly see people let alone whole sections cheering a driver on
