Lets review some interesting facts surrounding this race.. It's September 17th and its 40 degrees out. It's the last New Hampshire race on TNN. It's the first and only time using restrictor plates at New Hampshire. It's only the 6th time in history one driver has led all the laps, and only the second time in history on a superspeedway. It's the first return since the stuck throttles that killed Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin in identical crashes. It's two weeks since Bobby Labonte suffered a stuck throttle at Darlington. The cars have a high pitched whine normally heard at Daytona and Talladega. There are talks of completing the race with one pit stop. There is virtually no left side tire wear. Finally, on lap 59, Bobby Hamilton runs a woman over in the garage area. This is one of the more unique races in history. Enjoy!

Still blows my mind, Burton led every lap. You'd have thought the cautions who have resulted in at least one person staying out and leading.
Hearing that signature exhaust sound you only heard at Daytona and Talladega at New Hampshire was bonkers
That restart with Earnhardt trying to get his lap back with 45 to go was just insane!
Even though Dale hated Restrictor Plates he was the master
Thats how i learned how to block... from this day
I got screwed in 2000. went to the boring Daytona 500 and this race.... but I will say today, glad I was there to see history, this will NEVER happen again.
Well.... Now people are saying the big tracks like Indy, Michigan, Pocono, should have restriction plates....
Because they should. Labonte passed Burton twice in the final laps, Burton beat him back to the stripe both times. The real issues were insufficient bite, lack of a drafting effect, general handling getting in the way of passing, and here they weren't used to this package - late in the race they got aggressive and the fight for the lead began to heat up.
Not learned what?
The Modifieds prove you wrong there. The Busch North cars at Loudon that same weekend proved you wrong. The Grand National cars in 1971 and the second half of 1973 proved you wrong.
I'm not 100% sure but I think that Denny Hamlin led the first 380 laps or so of a 2008 Richmond race before a flat tire took him out of contention with 20 to go. Clint Bowyer ended up winning in a rather dramatic finish. That's the closest I can remember it happening at the cup level since this race.
Bobby Hamilton is a non-recognized legend because of some interesting facts like the Lap 59 one...lol. God bless his soul.
I've been watching the entire 2000 season and this one was wild to watch. Going in I had no idea Jeff Burton would lead every lap of the race. I didn't even know there was going to be a second New Hampshire race in the season. My mind is completely blown
The last New Hampshire race dale Earnhardt ran
this race must have been a fever dream
2:11:50 -- Somebody tells the booth to defend the restrictor plates
That's awesome Jeff Burton led every lap at New Hampshire and Bobby Labonte passed him in the race but Jeff beat him to the line
Kenny Irwin and Adam Petty died in similar stuck throttle turn 3 crashes. NASCAR wanted to slow the cars.
But the problem with slowing the cars down they went faster.
they wanted them to hit the wall slower if their throttle stuck

In fact, both Darrell and Michael Waltrip are NOW covering NASCAR on FOX!
@@danalong1237 I miss Darrell.
Mike and Darrell look so young here
I really really love these old NASCAR race a whole whole lot

@DieKolkrabe Because NASCAR considers the driver on the pole to be the leader of lap 0 or the race start, so technically since Burton started second, he had to pass the pole sitter or lead car in order to "take" the lead, however he did it between lap 0 and lap 1 so thats where the lead change comes, even though he led every lap after that point. It's confusing at first but if you think about it, it does make sense.
Burton just learned to qualify well. Didn't have to pass 36 cars. 😂
Since we ain't got data loops yet, the only part of the lap that matters is at the line. It's a one lap shootout to see who leads the first lap.
2:29:36 "Doing a little agricultural racing" LOL, I miss these commentators!
Miss the days of TNN and ESPN sharing most of the race coverage.
It was cold that weekend. On another note... it was sold out.
Notice the grandstands went all the way to turn 4.
Present day ..they only sell 1/2 of the 1/2 of seats they didn't tear out.
This race was the day before I was born!
I hate knee jerk reactions! Good job nascar
Honestly, I cldnt even tell the difference w the restrictor plate. If anything, I thought the packs were tighter & had closer racing. The #99 team & Jeff Burton just had this track & their setup better than every1 else obviously & this was 1 of Jeff Burton's best tracks b4 this race. He "stunk" the show up but I think it had very little to do w RP. My opinion. TYVM 4 upload! 🏁🏆👍
The race you mentioned where Bobby Labonte suffered a stuck throttle (2000 Pepsi Southern 500 at Darlington) was, believe it or not, won by Bobby Labonte!
Well Jeff Burton led all 300 LAPS!
A wire to wire job
Job well done Jeff!
One of the best drivers without a cup championship
I have this race on tape but it started at Lap 30 so I'm glad you posted the whole thing.
I understand Nascar felt they needed to do something after Adam and Kenny's death at New Hampshire but restrictor plates were not the answer. They should never be used at anything besides Daytona and Talladega. Everywhere else there are other options to slow them down like extra downforce/drag, lower gears etc. This race just looked horrible like all the cars were bogged down the whole time and even having to push each other past other cars on a freaking shorter track like a big superspeedway. Ridiculous to even entertain plates at a place like this where they really need that extra couple thousand rpms. And that one of the guys that got to practice with the plate lead flag to flag. Yeah that was real fair.
This was a great day to be a Jeff Burton fan!
I think it would have been boring even for most Jeff Burton fans.
This looks like a modern day race with the tapered spacer.
the tapered spacer has destroyed the racing at every track. three words for nascar, TAKE IT OFF
No. It works. Narrow the spacer more - racing doesn't need more than 500 horsepower.
500 horsepower? are you daffed? i agree with a few voices, nascar needs about 1000 horsepower
***** No, 1000 horsepower has achieved nothing.
The best argument against more horsepower is the complete failure of Indycar's push-to-pass buttons that increase horsepower for a burst for passing - and nobody can pass.
Jimbo26Slicevids It appears Brian France read your message and responded. “Make the holes smaller, right?” -Brian
As I recall Jayski reported the fastest ever lap turned by a NASCAR vehicle was 221mph average at Talladega by Rusty Wallace. Top speed was around 229 on the backstretch. Rusty said it was way too dangerous to run that fast in a race.
Unless NASCAR's doing Area 51-style testing, I'm not sure where 242 came from.
The tapered spacer and insurance company stuff seems reasonable, but I haven't researched enough to know whether or not that's true.
@ 10:28 without him eli gold will NEVER call a NASCAR race
Was at this race. So brutal.
Good race thanks for this
I remember this race, a lot of talk on the restrictor plates and everything, I thought today and then it was the right choice, after everything that had happened, its great that they have the kill switch now, but it shouldn't have come to that to make it happen
No...it wasn't the answer. The Hanns device was
I think the 242 came from Rusty's own speculation. I honestly have never heard that 229 was the confirmed top speed. I do remember Rusty saying that if the cars were correctly dialed in at Talladega, he felt they might hit 250 mph. I've never understood why they don't just build a smaller motor with less HP and let them run that unrestricted. This is what the trucks do and they already have to build special motors to run the plates anyway so they'd just be trading one special motor for another.
yojoeski Remember the Goodys Dash Series ran at Daytona with 4 cylinder cars and still hit 160 mph
Skip to 41:18 to see the woman get knocked down.
True but I think the modifeds need it for safety on the big tracks, they aren't designed to run mile tracks every week, it's like Cup running Daytona or Dega unrestricted with today''s package, the speeds would be too high.
Ricky Rudd's 600th consecutive start
NASCAR's equivalent to a Perfect Game
@UsonianAC Sorry I should have been more specific, he had a stuck throttle in practice and slammed the turn 3 wall, then started 43rd in a backup car and won the race.
Lol at 0:41:21 that Ladie was in Bobby Hamolton and he hit her XD
Whoa! I hadn't seen Bobby Hamilton running that woman over... I must have dozed off during this race. hahah
Also, I was wondering if you had the 1999 running of this race?
Does anyone know what song plays at 1:26:27 before the commercials? Sounds like SRV but I can’t find the song.
The trucks and NW cars run the same engine as cup. They just use tapered spacers and 390 carbs. They all run 12:1 358s. And thats how it should stay. Cup cars make about 850-900hp unrestricted and 420-450 with the plates. No matter how you slow them down at Daytona/Talladega it's going to make a mess. 190mph is just too slow for the track. They need to just run a bigger plate that will let them run about 210 and that will put more in the drivers hands. They have much bigger roof flaps in '13.
Safer barriers and the hans device would have saved dale earnhardts life
Same with Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin Jr. They are the reasons that restrictor plates were used at this track.
The seat belt is an underrated factor.
@@badbooking3221 thanks for replying to my comment from 6 years ago
Speaking of, IIRC, Jeff Burton was one of the first drivers to start using the HANS device.
@@CJODell12 He was a smart man, crazy that it took multiple deaths for NASCAR to make it mandatory but im glad they did. Who knows how many lives have been saved
Modifeds still use the plates and (IMO) it's the right choice, they have amazing racing every time.
Wrong
@@randomepic6204 just because that’s his opinion doesn’t make it wrong.
@@kennethsheriff1659 yes it does lol.
@de31168 It does when you think about it, but to the casual fan it's odd. Racing-reference has it IIRC as 0 lead changes.
Still think NASCAR should keep it like that, but explain it better.
@NascarNixon There's a bit of discrepancy over if he did or not, NASCAR has it listed as 1 lead change and 300 laps led, other sites have it as 0 lead changes and 300 laps led
1:49:10 - 1:49:25 LMFAO!!
41:21
@kornnut43 Joe Nemechek's first career win. I don't think that I do unfortunately.
Jimmie Johnson at 6:51
Win #14
As I understand it, a normal Sprint Cup motor makes about 800-850 HP and the plates take them down to about 550-600 HP. So why not just build a motor that can only make 550-600 HP on its own and let them run it? On a related subject, I have to wonder how long before we see plates at places like Texas, Atlanta, California/Michigan(since they're the same track basically) and Charlotte.
yojoeski well they just ran them at charlotte
They're now down to about 550
@@NotSteveCook Not the Next Gens. They’ve got 670.
Few NASCAR fans will realize it, but Scott Pruett is easily the least-appreciated American racer in history.
The epic fail of epic fails, this is likely the least exciting race in NASCAR history.
@de31168 - Funny how they just ignore it and keep on talking. Maybe they didn't see it.
I'm not buying it. I've never heard anything like that. Have a link to share?
Keep dreaming. They'll need them at Daytona and Talladega forever.
Where'd you come up with this information?
why did they use restrictor plates?
Chihuahuaman2 because of the stuck throttle issues at that track and the deaths of Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin. NASCAR was left scrambling for a solution. Drivers said either give us foam block walls or restrictor plates to slow the cars down.
They thought slowing the cars down at the time would stop the stuck throttle problem that caused The Fatal Accidents of Adam and Kenny at the same track months prior
Greatest race of the 2010s right here
41:20 Get out the way!
@Pabig93 No.
maybe this race was the worst in Nascar ever
Diego Ospina what the hell were they supposed to do? Have another driver get killed?
Indianapolis 2008
Talladega ‘69
My vote goes to the 2008 Brickyard 400.
Get used to this again. RIP NASCAR
NASCAR is Not Dead!
One if the worst races of all time
That race was horrible
