looking back on this video, Casey Mears took 4 tires on that last pit stop and passed Tony Stewart, Rusty Wallace, Kurt Busch, Bobby Labonte, and Kasey Kahne in less than half a lap. Jesus what 4 fresh tries could do back in 2004.
I love that line from Mike Joy heading into a commercial break at 1:12:17 "Allot of surprises so far, Ryan Newman a lap down, Jeff Gordon's car is junk, whats going to happen next?"
Over the past few days, I’ve watched 2 New Hampshire races in a row, and that’s a 1 mike flat track, and this seems so much faster it’s like it’s fast forwarded. I’m trying to watch all of Jimmie Johnson’s wins. I’m on 7, 8 if you count his 2001 win in the Busch series
I remember this race like it was yesterday, it was my first Nascar race ever during the peak prime time of Nascar. 180,000 people and Im pretty sure it broke a record for like most cautions or like longest timed race. Ended super late I got home really late and had drivers ED the next day I was about to turn 15. Good times
They always rave about Johnson's performance at Charlotte back in these days. What they don't tell you is that from 2002-2005 the 48 car was the only car doing the tire tests at Charlotte. It was after other teams complained that NASCAR instituted the requirement to Goodyear that one car per manufacturer must be present at the tests now.
He was still good here til 2007. Then they changed to that garbage cot car and he started doing bad here. Only won 4 times here since 07(2 points and 2 all star)
Back when Elliott Sadler actually had a good team and equipment. In '05 they moved Parrott to the 88, and ruined the chemistry he had, and of course moving to the #19 was a horrible move
Nascar 06 Total Team Control Challenge Michael Waltrip 15 Napa Chevy I'll Take A Coke 3:39:51,3:41:05 In the race he was lined up 3rd and only passed Jamie McMurray with just the last shot to pass Jimmie Johnson but Waltrip finished 2nd to the 48. In the challenge Waltrip has to give the player a chance to change history with 3 laps left the 15 had to pass the 42 and 48 to win the race.

This should have been '3 in a row, Jimmie Johnson!' in this race, not 2005. Looking back at 2002, an overshot pit stall kept him from winning 4 straight here.
Chris Kreager Jimmie won the 600 in '04 and the fall race and the 600 in 2005 so that is three in a row. the fall of '03 went to tony, the spring went to jimmie. So the won 3 600 in a row ('03,'04,'05) and three straight charlotte races( spring '04, fall '04 and spring '05) so three in a row at the 05 event by DW was correct.
Never seen Jeff Gordon have a car run like trash as we saw in the fall race that year this car needed dings and dents to run well which means the car itself was trash

Who here misses the gen 4 car
Shayne Greenaway
All of us
The roar of those engines was awesome
Tremendously
Gen 4 was truly a great era of nascar😢
@@Ninjagoda15Wasn’t it? NASCAR was more existing from 2004-2017!
I love that line from Mike Joy heading into a commercial break at 1:12:17 "Allot of surprises so far, Ryan Newman a lap down, Jeff Gordon's car is junk, whats going to happen next?"
He was one lap away from tying the all time record for most laps led in a Charlotte race the record is 335 by Jim Paschal in '67
That was a driving masterpiece by Jimmie Johnson. I'm not a big fan of his, but that was an amazing drive.
Anyone else notice how in victory lane Jimmie knocked the plastic Powerade bottle off his roof in favor of his Gatorade in his hand?
Because Powerade is produced by Coke.
@@tyleracimovic823 Powerade bottle in Gatorade Victory Lane. Never made sense.
What a difference a year makes.
Compared to next year's cautionfest, this race- only 7 cautions and all but 6 cars finished
I was there. My 1st 600
Jimmie Johnson can win there anytime he wants

I think you’re referring to the 2005 race. That race went super long.
Jimmie J will be remembered as the Charlotte dominator as well
3:19:28 Look at Jimmie Johnson 3-wide through 3 and 4
5 days after I was born
Awesome race at Charlotte motor speedway

The “car of tomorrow” after the gen 4 we prob all didn’t like
A rarity in NASCAR- Kyle Busch NOT in a 5 or18

Jimmy Johnson never seemed real natural in front of the camera but he really got better at it as the years went on.

+Travis M Simpson I meant 600s. This should have been his 3rd straight 600 if not for that pit stall overshoot.
You can't deny how good the 48 was at Lowe's. Not so good under the charlotte name.
+Travis M Simpson I'm not denying it. I'm just saying that really he really could have won 4 600s in a row
That is all well and good, he had the car to do it with, still does.
I like the b2 flyby
Elliot sadler the unluckiest driver of nascar
2:02:04 my guy that’s 5 guys (burger and fries)
MY HERO JIMMIE JOHNSON (VIRGO) (THE EARTH GLOBE)
Why is Dale Earnhardt Jr driving without any gloves
Did NASCAR start this race earlier than usual in 04???
the race always starts in full sun, then about 1/3 through the conditions are dusk, then the last 2/3s are night time.
3:27:30 See also 2002 Ford 400 John Andretti Engine Trouble in feel it...
1:41:55 why is that rule in place? To keep the attention on the guys that are doing the best? Ok
Never seen Jeff Gordon have a car run like trash as we saw in the fall race that year this car needed dings and dents to run well which means the car itself was trash
Geez they said they were so fast in the 600 might as well bring it back! Holy fuck what a pos.
1:50:39 U kidden me Junior he had no gloves?
What happened at lap 395?
aaaaaaaaaa5912 Oil on the track.
When’s the last time someone has lapped the entire field?
30:06 Zelasko Promo
2:59:32 Crank It Up!
Ryan Newman car blow up senting oil on the track.
If this Race Stayed Green even another 75-100 Laps. There would have only been 4-5 cars left on the Lead Lap.
1:50:22 jr picks nose 🤣
