"The tandem are pursued by the Army and National Guard cars, but they're not gonna catch them. Keselowski pushes Edwards to the home stretch, he looks high then he looks low as Edwards swerves down to block. Keselowski is forced all the way down to the double-yellow line. He thinks about what happened to Reagan Smith the year prior, he knows that if he goes below that line, it's game over. The Miccosukee car has been forced as far down as it can possibly run, it can go no further. It has been given no choice but to stand its ground." -Emplemon
Every once in a while I like to go back and watch that video. It's so good.
@@glxywlf I probably watch all three of Emplemon's NASCAR videos at least once a month. They're just so good!
He’s literally Dale Jr’s protégé
Hence BKR.... Chase Briscoe, Austin Cindric, Tyler Reddick, Daniel Hemric, Ryan Blaney, would we have ever seen these names if it wasn't for Brad's Truck Team?
And Mtj
Dale has said many times the keselowski really helped JRM become a better team
@@davidpeters2625 the protege became the master
BRAAAD KESELOWWWSKI WON THIS RACE!
This was the first race I watched wire to wire. I had a Gordon birthday party the November before and was so disappointed when he went out stupid early, so was sort of pulling for Missouri boy Edwards, but also hoping for a good finish... and I got one of the best and scariest ever. So glad everyone was ok.
Yeah same. Jeff Gordon had a nice looking car too it didn't deserve to crash plus I was a Gordon fan but Brad Keselowski certainly caught my eye.
I thought it was funny how Carl Edwards was airborne into the catch fence and Mike Joy was all "that destroyed the front end of Newman's car!" Ummm Mike, there's something else a lot more dramatic happening here lol
At the time, I followed Jayski’s Silly Season Site religiously. This was labeled as UPSET.
I remember that Dega race very well.
That Carl Edwards flip is definitely one of the scariest NASCAR moments I've ever seen in my time following the sport...
@@anareel4562 that happened after this lol
@@anareel4562 it was Carl trying to run Brad under the line so he would be penalized like Stewart did to regan smith. Bk just held his line
@@alandavis1245 like he was supposed
We’re you scared when horse face tried to kill kesalowski and. Bunch of fans at Atlanta?
@@anareel4562 no, Atlanta was Edwards being a bitch about this wreck which he caused.
Dale Jr knows talent when he sees it, Brad K, Martin Truex Jr, Chase Elliot, William Byron, Tyler Reddick is showing a lot of promise as well
He didn't get Larson
@@punyhunk8686 who said anything about Larson?
@@jacksonthompson4584 facts that’s why I didn’t even respond
@@jacksonthompson4584 No, I'm just saying that Larson is a talent that he missed. Probably the best driver in NA right now.
And 3 out the 5 are gone now
Brad has shocked the world a plethora of times…the aforementioned win at Talladega in 09, a championship in his 3rd full time season in the sport, the Texas Tango, and now the formation or I guess reformation of RFK Racing to name a few
Yep
And being absolutely sh*t faced drunk in interviews after he won his championship lol
Denny Hamlin called him talentless and he won a championship within his first few years in cup while Denny still doesn’t have one
Hamlin is a legend in his own mind.
@@Ghostmotorfingeryes but it’s still quite the irony, Keselowski was one of the quickest drivers to take a championship while Hamlin is on record to take the longest to win one
Hamlin won 3 Daytona's in a row, though.
@@motherofraiden 3? Yes. All of them in a row? No. 2016, 2019, 2020.
Let's not forget this also began the rivalry of Keselowski vs. Edwards which culminated into one of the best quotes in NASCAR history:
" *He ain't gonna kill my boy.* "
We miss you Bob Keselowski. 😢❤
At least Bob got to see Brad win his first championship; which I'm happy for both Bob and Brad for.
Carl Edwards was nuts lol
Best day was when Carl edwards retired
@@broken_bones_acres kinda toxic ain’t it
The best moment of Keselowski's career was being hammered-ass drunk during and interview on ESPN after winning his championship
I still go back and watch that interview sometimes.
On that day one of the most iconic lines in all of NASCAR commentary was born
First Dale Earnhardt Jr's Protégé, and then with Brad Keselowski Racing: Daniel Hemric. Tyler Reddick. Chase Briscoe. Austin Cindric, Ryan Blaney.... and now I'm totally stoked to see what he can do with Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing....
Don’t forget about keselowski and joe!
@@_CARKENT oh.... thats right... thanks for reminding me
One of the most craziest finishes ever. Who would’ve thought he’d win a championship 3 years later and be one of the top drivers in the sport.
it was then when Larry Mac said the funny:
*_🅱️rad Kez-uh-laauuw-skeeee won this race._*
🅱️rad
Also fun fact: This was only Pheonix Racing's Cup win and never close to a Cup win again till they closed up shop after 2013
Not true, Kurt came very close to winning for them several times in 2012. He led laps late in both Talladega races and Sonoma and finished 3rd in Sonoma with a busted trackbar which is basically unheard of.
at 11:40 BFM missed a great opportiunity to say "brad keselowski won this race" that would have been funny
I was there that day. Edwards going into the fence happened right in front of me. It's was cool to see Keselowski's first cup win.
9:58
Absolutely no foreshadowing once so ever
BFM: “Funny how things come full circle”
Me: You stole that from Emplemon didn’t you
Love me some Brad. Hoping he'll win the 500 for his dad 😀
Lol that day was insanous
Always remember his feud with Edwards... Probably the most fierce in the last decade
No back end of a race car, front end all beat up, and Kurt Busch still finished 6th when he was sitting 3rd with 3tg. Very easy to miss but very impressive, none the less.
As dangerous as it was I miss the tandem racing. Was so cool to see how the aerodynamics caused this to happen.
I went to the 400 race at Daytona when this was still allowed and it was awesome. My dad and I had the radio headsets and would flip between the tandem teams radios to listen to how the spotters called it and how they communicated for pit stops.
I remember watching that race and freaking out more about the Carl flip rather than brads win . I was 7 , I didn’t have a clue who brad was .
And he started from the rear. Now, I know starting from the back and winning seems pretty easy at Talladega but in a small time team car like Phoenix Racing, it seems more impressive.
that is the thing with dega and daytona, if you can make the race you can win it cause crazy shit happens.
A small team car with AAA team equipment.
The Dega race before this one was Smith/Stewart, and Regan had the win taken, and I'm sure Brad had that finish in mind and wasn't going to lose it that way.
Yep. He referenced that finish in victory lane.
Exactly. That 2008 Talladega finish directly resulted in the 2009 finish. Where the only way to win was putting the leader into the fence
Those two car tandems were pretty entertaining at times especially the bizarre team ups that occurred.
I just rewatched this whole race last week, as someone who's favorite current driver is Brad and as someone who loves the CoT era (especaully 2009), this is one of my favorite races ever
I can't wait to see how he does at Roush
I remember that race like it was yesterday,keselowski on the final lap looking on the outside of Edwards then turn him and went airborne into the catch fance not only did he shock the world but gave him the nickname bad Brad.
the funny part is that the casino that sponsored brad back then was related to the tribe that originally lived in Talladega
Man, almost 13 years since that moment! That was the first race at Talladega that i watch.
It's just a Superspeedway and he had Hendrick power. What was more impressive was him winning a few races in the summer of 2011 after that testing crash.
This was my first Dega race to attend and it did not disappoint.
The yellow line rule was the cause of the crash
The only counter-argument is that Brad looks to go wide and run into Edwards after first contact, but thats almost certainly due to them hooking up. Brad really had no where to go
This was the first NASCAR race I ever watched. I’ve been hooked on NASCAR ever since!
I was there to see it. I was in the upper section right at the start/finish. When Carl hit the fence i could still feel the impact in my feet.
I was 5 years old when this race took place, its the first race I can vividly remember watching. Good times
0:35 imma rewatch the 2014 commercials I saw those commercials when I was younger lmfaoooo
The Two-Car tandem was the best restrictor plate racing era, period.
Best race finish I've seen in NASCAR in my life. The following year's race finish was great too.
I remember this talladega race and that was a horrible scary flip Carl Edwards had and that was a fantastic win for Brad Keslowski and a great race and this is an awesome video from Black Flags Matter
The 09 car was always my favorite team. I was so stoked for this win!
One of the all time best Dega races, hands down. SO MANY incredible moments.
I was a Bobby Labonte fan until his unfortunate decline in nascar after peaving gibbs, but it was Brad Keselowski's Cup win at Talladega in 2009 that was what cemented me as his fan immediately and I still am to this day! 💪🇺🇸
Literally one of the first few cup series races I remember when I starting watching NASCAR, dis race gud race
11:30
lil emplemon reference in there
This wasn't even close to the first race with tandem drafting. It happened periodically as far back as the Daytona 500 in 2005, and the first race where it became a frequent thing seen throughout the whole field was the spring Talladega race in 2008.
Was in the stands at the start/finish line. That was an intense wreck and I was shocked more spectators weren’t hurt.
My parents were at that race lol they were right above the impact zone I remember calling them right after it happened and asked if they saw it but all they saw was just a cloud of dust and sparks
That was my favorite race in 2009 NASCAR season
I had to DVR this race because I was at the nascar trucks and Indycar race at Kansas Speedway and I remember on the way home I heard on the radio that there had been a big crash at Talladega but didn't think to much of it so when I got home I watched it obviously the first big one early in the race but with 5 to go I was like radio people overreacted just a typical Talladega crash but then the finish and Carl flying into the catch fence I was like OMG I didn't even realize Brad had won until they showed the replays
Dale Jr has given a start to Martin Truex Jr, Keselowski, Chase Elliott just to name a few.
Man I remember this race can’t believe its been almost 13 years ago
Amazing things happen when unusual events come together
Made a fan out of me that day!
Can you please do a Gone to Soon episode on Nicky Hayden the 2006 MOTOGP world champion?
Mike Joy was very brave saying “Edwards will not make it to the flag” as cars were barrelling towards him. Coulda easily got smacked and slid across the line
BRING BACK THE BEARD!
It's pretty cool to see someone give him a chance and for him to come this far. Imagine if he didn't win that race.
Badass Brad 2022 the TRUE make nascar great again
I loved tandem drafting, it was intense
One dude I need to go back and watch that race. Tandem showing up and my favorite driver winning. Carl’s run to the end. At minimum one of talladegas best finishes
The COT was great on superspeedways punching a huge hole in the air made it fun to watch
Them winged COT cars were badass imo and the flips were insane too.
2:48 every time i hear "mark martin is involved"........ i just cry a little bit
.
mark is my all time favorite driver.... dude could be as famous as tony..... if only he didnt get bad "luck" like this
Carl Edwards doing his best Ricky Bobby impression…
What a king. Definitely my favorite driver of the modern day
Don’t say it…. Don’t say it…. Don’t say the Larry Mac Funny… don’t say it…
Brad Keselowski won this race😆
Your right I’ll never forget the day “BRAD KAZ-A-LOWSKI WON” that race
I am never forgot that wreck watching it on TV
When I was watching live on an illegal stream, the first thing that shocked me was that the 99 car was going airborne and was flying into the fence, then I realized keselowski won in a phoenix racing car
Funny how the Indian sponsored car outran the National Guard and Army sponsored cars.
I hear that Gran Turismo Sport music in the background 🏴🏴🏴
*BRAD KESELOWSKI WON THIS RACE*
The finish of the 2009 Aaron's 499 is a direct result of how the finish of the 2008 AMP Energy 500 played out. The 2008 AMP Energy 500 finish created the "Wreck em or lose em" mentality we saw in 2009. The 2009 Coke Zero 400 finish was also a result of the 2008 AMP Energy 500 finish. Drivers didn't wanna get penalized and were afraid of going to the outside. So Keselowski and Stewart both just flat out dumped the leader to win instead. We still have that "Wreck em to win em" mentality at Daytona and Talladega today somewhat but it's not as prevalent as it was in 2009. That line rule seriously needs to be abolished. You figured the finish of the 2009 Aaron's 499 would've made them rethink the rule but it never did. I love Daytona and Talladega but hate how the only way to win at those tracks, is putting the leader into the fence and potentially hurting someone.
I say this as someone who's always found Brad K. annoying: Carl wrecked himself. Brad faked to the outside, Carl fell for it, Brad went to the inside. Carl wrecked himself coming back down across Brad's nose. Period. Then at Atlanta the next year, Carl wrecked himself early in the race by coming DOWN across Keselowski again...and then later in the race, actually tried to commit vehicular homicide on Brad. Same thing with the Gateway crash that year when he wrecked Brad. Of these four crashes, Carl Edwards caused them all.
I spent years of my life thinking that Dale Jr. was telling Brad off for catapulting a car into the crowd to win. But if Dale Jr. was celebrating with Brad then why does it seem to me that he pushes Brad to the inside of the track (before touching Kyle Busch) close to reaching the pits?
Honestly, the COT schemes don't look that bad
🅱️rad keselowski won this race
Remember this race. Absolutely insane.
How about a when KFB shocked the world? Sounds great ik
This what begin the career of a legend
Next “Shocked The World” video:
Trevor Bayne, Daytona 500 Champ!!!
I will never understand why Rick Hendrick took a 51 year old Mark Martin over a clearly up and coming talent in Keselowski just because Martin managed to have a good 2009 season.
Cuase he did not want his car tore up Plus he ruined it by being stupid he could of hurt and killed people
Rick Hendricks wanted Mark Martin longer than 2009
@@BeautifulAngelBlossom What kind of logic is that? Keselowski finished 3rd in the Nationwide standings and the only two people that beat him were full time cup drivers who wanted to steal a Nationwide championship. He was also 800+ points ahead of the next full time Nationwide driver. He wasn't one to tear up equipment.
@@jamesbraun9842 How much longer would he have wanted Mark Martin? He was going to be 51 going into the 2010 season. Why would Brad make a handful of starts in 2009 if the plan wasn't for him to take over a cup ride full time in 2010? I think Rick picked Mark over Brad when Mark pulled together a 2nd place run in the standings which is why Brad dipped and went to Penske.
@@BrettMKW he was careless Driver and caused a lot isseus in cup every Driver wanted kick his rear Just Like Joey
Love the Gran Turismo music
Man I miss that 88 GO Daddy scheme
Shades of Ricky Bobby
It all comes full circle.
The best was Cousin Carl running across the line then right into the meat wagon
As a Carl Edward's fan.....very hesitant click.
If this were anyone else, as a also fan of small teams, I'd be super happy for the 09 team.
That's what I love about Talladega, anything can happen.
The fall 2008 Talladega race heavily influenced the end of this race lol
1:47 Does anyone know what song is the one playing in the background?
its The Trip by Makoto
@@KrispyFungusMan Thank you very much!
Brad Keze-Lowski Wahn diz Race - Larry Mac hahaha
What abour the 39 i mean in the rep we cant see what happens to him afterwards
What most people forget is that Keselowski won that cup race before he won in the nationwide series.
Actually thats incorrect, Brads first Nationwide win was the year before in 2008
Bosley is basically his sponsor in every video
Good Seasons: Brad Keselowski 2011
Championship Seasons: Brad Keselowski 2012
That was a hard finish to watch, I was rooting for Carl to win but I also like to see first time underdog winners. Of course Keselowski would not be an underdog for long.
these videos never disipoint
Never forget that this was a crash that very much could have been avoided if NASCAR had not been so ticky tacky with enforcing the yellow line rule. Brad knew damn well what happened to Regan Smith the year before.
I’m not a cousin Carl fan so I loved it when brad spun his ass out
For anyone that hasn't seen it, EmpLemon has a killer video on this race, definitely check it out!
