Screaming and shouting isn’t what makes an announcer good and I miss Allen and the rest of the guys. Even the TNT crew in the early 2010s was good in my opinion but Adam Alexander has shifted from someone who could put a beautiful sentence together to someone who just screams what’s obvious.
The Talladega 2012 clip... how Allen, Andy, and Dale handled that in terms of not filling every second full of commentary/not going overboard with hype... now, imagine how NBC would have handled that. Also... his call of the 2011 brickyard 400 should have been on the list.
Bestwick always knows when to shut up because he's seeing something special. It seemed like half his commentary on the 2011 Brickyard was splicing in Paul Menard's radio chatter, and hey, *it worked*
At 17:00, that fall race at Talladega I'll never forget. The last 5 laps were insane. They should have kept Allen Bestwick in the booth, he's a great announcer. All three were good with Wally, Benny and Allen up there.
i was watching a college basketball game a year ago on SNY in New York. he was commentating that I guess thats where he went after the espn/abc coverage ended
He has that tone in his voice that makes every word he says exciting, I first heard him commentate the drive for COPD300 at Daytona (first nascar race I've ever seen, Holland is more focussed on Formula 1 and MotoGP and such) and his voice made the final 3 laps intense
@Kaden Anderton ...Well, this is confusing. It did come back, but I want it to come back, but I never actually watched NASCAR until 2009, so... How exactly do I say it? Um... I hope it comes back again? Or at least Allen Bestwick.
I still swear Harvick had a nitrous shot on that thing down the backstretch on the last lap at Homestead. Expected Newman to get a run on the high line, and Harvick just gaps him by another 5 car lengths somehow.
Honestly I liked and disliked the Talladega 2012 ending. Some of, if not the greatest racing within the past 10 years in those 2 laps, but so much wasted potential for an upset winner
Never liked Bestwick in the booth & quite frankly, all the folks who think he was the best, must have never heard Ken Squire with Barney Hall or Bob Jenkins with Ned & Benny 🤷
Here when he is commentating the SRX series
Was waiting for this to pop up!!!
Yessss I was so happy when I heard the news earlier!
Imagine that Alan Bestwick could still be commentating but NBC feels like Rick "Aggressive Goes Around" Allen is the best they can do.
I know. NBC needs to go back to their Bestwick roots and GIVE RICK ALLEN THE CAN, THE PINKSLIP AND THE AXE!!!!
Allen Bestwick hates NBC after they screwed him over in 04 when he got injured and got kicked out of the booth to be replaced by Bill Weber
Rick isn’t that bad Alan is just a god

@@crazybut6641 Rick Allen sucks. He yells for no reason.
Ambrose's win at the Glen will always be one of my favorite finishes of all time
Mine too!
Which one?
@@andrewdevore4799 2012 one with Keselowski battle
Amazing what an oiled down racetrack will produce!
Best last lap of all time

Those three in the booth are incredible
Bestwick, Jarrett, and Petree or Bestwick, BP, and Dallenbach?
@@GalaxyGal- bestwick jarrett and petree
Hot Take: Bestwick was overrated.

Somebody at Fox/NBC... GET THIS MAN BACK!

@@retroguy1976 he's doing contract work right now until someone gives him a longer deal

Holland Michigan or the Netherlands
I miss NASCAR on ESPN, man. I hope it comes back one day.

@@0123renee How About Allen Bestwick.
That finish with Jeff and Jimmie is my favorite of all time. Some of the greatest driving you’ll ever see.
Allen bestwick is the best commentator
I may be biased, but 3 seconds in, #15 should be #1. The fact that this race is still talked about should make it way higher
You took the words from my mouth!
He’s the GOAT!
Also, how about Top Allen Bestwick IndyCar Calls?
Maybe, won’t be a lot obviously, if so would have to be a top 5
Marty Czekala alrighty. If not, Top Bill Weber calls?
Maybe. If not I may move to Xfinity or IndyCar
Marty Czekala up to you, brotha🤟🏻🏁
I still swear Harvick had a nitrous shot on that thing down the backstretch on the last lap at Homestead. Expected Newman to get a run on the high line, and Harvick just gaps him by another 5 car lengths somehow.
Mcmurrays first win in his second start was VERY impressive and it literally made him have a career in the cup series and he made the most of it
Allen Bestwick needs to teach some of these commentators how to commentate. Vince Welch comes to mind as one of his students.
Can we get this man back in the booth, please!
15 is an absolute staple of the old nascar
When he said "The legacy continues" did anyone else hear an echo?
That Watkins Glen finish with Keselowski and Ambrose is one of the greatest finishes of all time
I like how the announcers we got now are guys with a lot of nascar history but they can be really chill in some real hyped situations
Alan Bestwick is by far the best announcer in Nascar History
18:56 For some reason there is a Brazil flag with the symbol of Brazillian soccer/football team Atlético Mineiro, weird af
@Renan Nogueira Yeah lol
@Renan Nogueira Br
@Renan Nogueira Eae, não esperava BRs nesse video
@Renan Nogueira Né
Theres the big one...
And then there's the whole damn field 5:18
Great Vid.
top 5 Allen Bestwick laughs
Nascar and SRX should do a trade off like bestwick come back to NBC and Rick go to SRX
I miss NASCAR On ESPN.
If Ray had stayed Jeff would have won 125 races!
Easily, he would have been second most behind Richard Petty easily.
Knew immediately upon seeing the title what #1 would be
"Eyeroll"
24Ever
Bob Jenkins: Ernie Irvan wins and Rusty spins!
Honestly I liked and disliked the Talladega 2012 ending. Some of, if not the greatest racing within the past 10 years in those 2 laps, but so much wasted potential for an upset winner
Bestwick should take over for Michael waltrip in the truck series!
Love Allen
Love this. But definitely missed the 2013 Geico 400 (:
2014 Geico 500
Mcmurrays win i remember, was like he was going to be great..but unfortunately not as good as i predicted
THAT 2001 PEPSI 400 WAS FIXED. I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY
3:18 is not a great call. He wasn't even present till after the race ended. It's just a clip with Bestwick in it.
I hated watching races because Bestwick! He was terrible!!
Never liked Bestwick in the booth & quite frankly, all the folks who think he was the best, must have never heard Ken Squire with Barney Hall or Bob Jenkins with Ned & Benny 🤷
I'm starting to feel that way towards Mike Joy.
