Man on lap 5 is when Mike Joy mentioned how they had increased the rear spoiler and front valence. Those decisions back then is what has slowly led us to the ridiculous cars we see today.
This would be impossible today in the Brian France era of BS cautions. I miss seeing races playing out naturally anymore.. always know in the back of my mind that a BS yellow is looming.
2 races in 2019 have technically gone without a real caution (they had stage breaks due to the rules): the one at Las Vegas and the one at Sonoma. 4 races between 2017 and 2018 went by with only one real caution. FUN FACT - Talking about real cautions, no race with a competition caution has gone by without at least 2 more cautions.
Well, since good ol' Mr. UAS doesn't know that this video even exists, I figured, since I have some time to kill, I would go ahead and do this myself. So, W/O further waiting here we go: Row 1: 24 J. Gordon/36 Irvan, Row 2: 6 Martin/33 Schrader, Row 3: 94 Eliott/88 Jarrett, Row 4: 40 Marlin/22 W. Burton, Row 5: 42 Nemechek/1 Park, Row 6: 25: Dallenbach, Jr/28 Irwin, Jr., Row 7: 2 R. Wallace/99 J. Burton, Row 8: 3 Earnhardt/7 M. Waltrip, Row 9: 12 Mayfield/18 B. Labonte,
Oh shoot. Well, I'm am surprised by it, but I understand why Chase wants to run that number since its one his father made famous and he used it in XFINITY and won the championship. It's just shocking that they would make such a change since #24 is such a iconic number and they are giving it Byron instead. Those are still big shoes to fill, but I guess we will see where all that goes.
Championships aren't based solely on pure dominance but what you do in the face of adversity. Dale had a lot of races in the spring/summer where the handling fell out of order early in the running, but made enough changes to scrounge up top 5 finishes. Those are as important as wins in this time frame.
Great day for the 88 Quality Care Ford piloted by Dale Jarrett, my favorite ever!
Thanks for the show!

Actually, this year debris cautions have been down significantly!
that's party due to the fact they know cautions will come out at set intervals
Well now we have pre-planned cautions :-) ain't that grand?
Ernie Irvan's last top ten in Winston cup....
The last non-restrictor plate race to go green the entire distance

@@DanArnets1492 If it weren't for the rain caution that ultimately ended the race, the 2012 Auto Club race could have also went without a caution.
Back when Nascar actually packed the grandstands.
Ahh yes the infamous Boring 400

Seeing Bill Elliott race Jeff Gordon and now his young son drives that #24 car.
Evan Williams And next year, the #24 will be driven by William Byron. Chase will be back in the #9.

back when cars could pass at Michigan.
Jarret said the team was struggling. How? They had top tens in every race of the year except two.
Hidden Secrets struggling for more wins. Also Jarrett has 29 Top10s in 34 races of 1999.

Winning isn't everything - just ask Bill Elliott in 1985. Strolled to 11 wins but didn't win the Winston Cup.
too bad I didn't watch it at that time
good race to the end ty
TheRacingJungle, Can you upload the intro and lineup?
Even 20 years ago michigan produced some of the most boring racing yet. Talk about a real snooze fest!
amazing crowd for a terrible race
"Turn in a Circle"!
*Oval.
Dude, if you're going to make a NASCAR joke, at least get the shape of the track right.
