Looking back, Dale Jr. had some massive wins in NASCAR history. Daytona after his father passed, Dover after 9/11. 2 Daytona 500s. He deserves to be in the HOF. He helped carry the sport for many years after his father passed. He earned his spot folks..
Amen! I keep re-watching those. The Pepsi 400 2001 I think it was. He dominated that race. Had an MLB All Star Baseball Budwiser like paint scheme. It was sweet. Never forgot those moment. He was so much faster then everyone else that race. He could pass folks easily by himself, but no one could pass him if he was in the lead. Not even with help. The good old days. Feels like Nascar lately just flat out have too many new rules.
18 February 2001 dale Earnhardt crashes with Ken Schrader and in 290 kmh crashes to the wall and fatal crashes 9 September 2001 in New York was 4 explosives
@Joseph Kennedy The cars themselves were fine, it was the lack of safety equipment for the driver like the HANS device and the lack of SAFER barriers that made races back then dangerous. If SAFER barriers were in use back then and the HANS device and other such measures had been mandatory by rule rather than just encouraged, Dale SR wouldve had a much better chance of walking away from the Daytona crash. That being said, I would love to see a revival of the Gen 4 cars that have a bunch of the modern safety systems built in to make them safer than the old ones. I think the racing would improve if they used the older cars, especially at the medium and smaller tracks. Bristol used to be a lot of fun to watch.
Steve Park was not driving that Chevy #1 during this race, it was Kenny Wallace. Park got sick in an earlier race (2001 Darlington 500) and didn't jump in until 2002's Darlington 400-mile race.
Uhg its true that nascar is dying and the races are becoming boring. Look at what happened in talladega. The aeropackages just get worse and worse for super speedways
2001 was a rough year, Not Just for Race Fans but for America as a whole. Losing Dale Sr. in February and then 9/11 happening. Dale Jr winning at the return to Daytona and winning this first race after 9/11 was healing for me.
Mr. Slimmy Jimmy there’s decent crowds at most tracks when weather ain’t a factor. Except for Phoenix, the only way that place will sell out is if the grandstands only have 10 seats in them
Been a Earnhardt fan as long as I've known of them. My first glimpse of NASCAR. waa at Monroe Speedway many years ago. They put a NASCAR in with a bunch of pro stocks as a demo. Blew them away. Awesome.
FA IWhen the harness racing was over, the track was changed over to your type of track. It was just amazing to watch the transformation. It was also sad but interesting. Back in the early 80,the bridge was always a challenge to horses who were stabled there.at the time.Just amazing to know was there and your family were there to race cars and me horses. My brother was a big fan. He made a bet with his friends if your Dad didn't win, he would shave his head, but leave the #8. Of, course he didn't have too. Continued success and best wishes to all of your Team!
Nice to see that you left out the majority of the last lap and the flagman never waving the white flag, because waving the white flag (in war) represents defeat, and America would not accept defeat. Guess you're too Politically Correct nowadays...
Man I wish I was alive in 2001 I would love to see these cars race I collect alit of cars diecasts. NASCAR is losing fans though I think nascar should be way way way more popular since it's so cool
The entire 2001 season was worth remembering. No one really remembers or cares about the current or the last few seasons of NASCAR. It's like trying to remember the last train that had you stopped at the crossing. Or the last cheeseburger you had at McDonalds. Generic and nothing new or interesting enough to remember.
2001 memorable? Dude, Jeff Gordon won by like 350 points (that is the difference between 1st and 43rd after 3 races). There were 7 races won from the front row, 12 races with under 15 lead changes, 7,4 cautions per race (12 races had 10 or more cautions)... You fuckers should go check out the races, almost all of them are on TH-cam with decent quality. A lot are absolute snoozefests (the difference between 1st and 20th was a lot bigger back then, it's almost funny to see a top driver come back after an early problem, the backmarkers look like they are in a different class of car) and then you have a few races that you could confuse with modern races. Racing wasn't better, go watch those races, they weren't amazing.
Shrimp Nuggets Jr. Not exactly. The New Hampshire race was supposed to run the weekend after 9/11 but NASCAR postponed the race til the end of the season. The Friday after Thanksgiving.
The good ole days when America was united. Quick observation, both the Yates cars spun out and saved it somehow. Jimmie Johnson did they same thing in qualifying and they talk about it like he’s God, smh
I dont understand how people are ok with flags being on cars, were they can get crumpled up and fall of the car being on the ground, yet when you drop the actual flag, that's not ok, why aren't they both disrespectful, please explain
This wasn't stage racing, this was STAGED racing. Monster Jam/WWE levels of bullshit. I'm sure if Dale Jr had crashed early on, they would've made Jeff Gordon/Kevin Harvick the winner somehow.
It is widely accepted that NASCAR has staged certain races like how Monster Jam does. It is not like the whole race is scripted, that would be way too complex to coordinate, but once the race has to be decided, only a number of results are accepted. In Monster Jam's case the events sometimes don't go the way they originally wanted because of mechanical failures, driving errors or even "happy accidents" like O'Donnell's frontflip in the 2017 World Finals. Certain famous of staged races include this race, the 2001 Atlanta Spring race (Kevin Harvick, who was rather shit back then, somehow wins against Dale Sr's biggest rival), the 2001 Daytona July race (Dale Jr leads 116/160 laps... in a superspeedway... in 2001, how can you even deny that?), the 2011 Daytona truck race (Michael Waltrip wins exactly 10 years after his never-enjoyed Daytona 500 win) and a bunch more. In recent years the whole staging seems to be more limited to qualifying sessions (Danica's poles) but it is impossible to deny that NASCAR has fiddled with the outcomes of certain races to boost their ratings and increase post-race exposure (appear on the news and so on).

That 2001 Pepsi 400 is the greatest race in the sport’s history.
He’s in the HOF now
All be it he had wins in weird and cliche moments, it was Gordon who kept the sport going, not Earnhardt Jr.

Look at that crowd

I've got a small piece of Dale's quarter panel hanging on my wall from this very car! A prized possession!

Those cars are so sexy. Gordon's metallic blue and striking red
MrMW2nd I love Gordon's flames car. Best paint scheme ever and the 2001 version stuck out the most more than any other year he had that paint scheme.
