That July Daytona car had some extra horsepower in it too, no way in hell NASCAR did real post race inspection on it lol. That win was a healing moment for the whole sport just like Harvick’s win at Atlanta
I was there when Jr. won. Three days in the Winston Tower. My former girlfriend. She and I. She got the tickets. I paid for everything else. My very best friend ever. Seven years after we split , she asked me to be Grandpa. Still my very best friend.
Is it true that Jr was given a larger restrictor plate for that race? Heard this from a couple of different people who worked for teams. Seems a lot more likely because of the massive $$$ involved.
Easy to do with an ILLEGAL car. I didn't mind, because we needed a moment like that, but who are we kidding? That whole night was set up for him to win.
@@Mystic-l3r There's running up front, and then there's this particular race where Jr. brags about only running 7/8ths throttle to keep from pulling away from the pack, which was unheard of with this high-drag, wicker bill package. Benson and Blaney were both going for their first career wins and didn't even try to block Jr. "lOoKs LiKe tHeY'Re GonNA gIVe tEh OutSidE tO jOonYeR11!!1!!". Jimmy Spencer was spot on in criticizing this race, but much like Patrice O'Neal talking about Alex Jones with marbles, because Spencer is generally crazy, it's easy enough to handwave this away.
Damn. Them last lines were DEEP
Almost makes me miss nascar

Damn Right! Dale Jr showed 'em all...
"Love on them" old skool NASCAR code for finding the grey area in the rule book. RIP DE and the good ol' days of NASCAR.

I’ve always believed those stories, even in the 80s/90s. It would be so easy for nascar to give out different size plates.
Jr could have won that race in a top fuel dragster and it would have passed post race inspection.
@@timg7627 talked w a guy in MB SC who was on of the pit crews. Swore on his life they handed out the special R/P each week as they chose. 🤷
That car was stupid fast!!!!
With authority. Was there and was there Feb 2004. Yep, had tears at both.
Incredible 👍😳💯🇺🇲❤️
Um gonna yt that race right now and watch it again!
They did it like dale would have
And got the #8 restrictor plate…
A lot of questions were swirling about the legality of that motor.
So????
Awesome
Right….

Who's the ditz?
Smoking hot
That race was so rigged
Right... cause the DEI never ran up front at the super speedways

@djmohab2 and when he won 500 I'm sure that run on smoke was rigged too.
@@Mystic-l3r nope, that was a car that handled well and expert side drafting by Jr.
What are you talking about.@@Mystic-l3r
