Atlanta is my home track. I've seen drivers and crew members killed there so please remember them. My Dad used to tell me that in its early days, to raise capital, they sold stock in the track, but my Mom made him sell it. I can't find anything on that anywhere. Could you look into please?
Kasey Kane and Matt Kenneth’s duel in 2015. The recent night race in Atlanta that was rained out. The emotional Jimmie Johnson win in 2004 after the Hendrick Plane crash. Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson’s Duel in 2005. And Dale Earnhardt and Bobby Labonte’s Duel in 2000.
Before Daytona was first on the cup series schedule, they ran at Riverside (Speaking of Riverside, memorable was the last race, in which Rusty Wallace won and Ruben Garcia starts an early demolition project coming off turn 9)
@@DoglegMediaMatt I made sure to shoot you an email about Riverside and gave you the logo and track diagrams that I got from the USGS and used MS paint to do the track layouts, but Wikipedia does have a lot on Riverside and I do work on that page as much as I can. Also, Fontana (ACS), is not too far from where Ontario Motor Speedway once was plus Les Richter (same one that played for the Rams after being traded for 11 players) ran Riverside was also at ACS--worst moment was when Greg Moore was killed there in 1999. (forgot to say this) Rusty did win the last 2 races at Riverside and in 1981 RIR held 3 races, and I know this ain't NASCAR related, but I would hate to forget about both the 1986 LA Times Grand Prix in which Doc Bundy crashed 3 cars in turn 1 and the 1965 Motor Trend 500 in which A. J. Foyt had a wreck so bad the track doctor declared him dead, but he ended up with some major injuries
Atlanta is a great track. I was there last year for the first race on the reconfiguration. Plus it was on my birthday. One of my hendrick guys won it! So that wrapped up a great weekend at AMS. Hope to be back again fir more awesome races
You forgot most Daytona 500 starts by Dave Marcis: 33 & David Pearson's win where he limped across the finish line in a wrecked car after he and Richard Petty wrecked. Not to mention Richard Petty's 200th win and the famous 1979 Daytona 500
Man, I definitely left out some big moments! I mentioned Dave Marcis in my most recent number history video for that very achievement! Leaving out Petty’s 200th is criminal tho! Thanks for watching!
Interesting thing, while petty has the most wins in Nascar, Dale earnhardt holds the record for most wins total at the track across all series he holds: 2 Firecracker 400 wins 6 Busch Clash wins 7 Busch series wins 6 IROC wins 12 Duel 125 Wins and 1 Daytona 500 win Making for a total of 34 wins at the track
Only remarkable thing I remember about Atlanta is The ENTIRE 1992 Hooters 500 the greatest season finale in my opinion. Or maybe when Richard Petty's car caught on fire and he yelled to the Firemen "There's a Pack of fire! Bring the Fire Extinguisher.
Daytona..the 500 Harvick over Martin Atlanta…of course Harvick 2001 for me, going to the Primestar 500 in 1998 Monday race and seeing Bobby Labonte once again dominate Atlanta
Atlanta moments, Carl Edwards turns Brad K in 2010, Chase Elliott crashes LaJoie for the win in 2022, Harvick edges Gordon out in 2001, Earnhardt and Labonte photo finish in 2000 i think it was, Josh Williams parks his car in march, the 2010 big one, and William Byron wins the first race on the superspeedway configuration.
For Atlanta, can't forget Rusty Wallace race winner and Dale Earnhardt cup winner doing a tandem reverse lap to pay tribute to Alan Kulwicki and Davey Allison in 1993.
The most memorable Daytona moment was missing from this video - Richard Petty’s 200th win. It was honestly one of the most American things to ever happen. President Reagan was present for the Firecracker 400, back when it was on the 4th of July. It honestly was “the day” in NASCAR history before the death of Earnhardt.
One correction, the Moto course was only used for four years from 2005-2008 before reverting to the traditional infield road course but with the modified International Horseshoe.
Honorable Mentions for Atlanta 1992 Hooters 500 for Richard Petty last Race, Jeff Gordon first Start and Alan Kulwicki Underdog Championship 2001 and 2020 for Kevin Harvick first Career win at Atlanta and his Final win at Atlanta And 2021 Kurt Busch winning on the Old Atlanta before they change configurations
Dale Earnhardt has won a total of 34 races at Daytona 12 Daytona 500 qualifying races 1983, 1986, 1990 -1999 3 Winston Cup point races 190,1993 Pepsi 400, 1998 Daytona 500 6 Busch Clash races 7 Busch Grand National Races 6 IROC Races
Juan Pablo Montoya's car suffered a rear suspension failure while he was trying to catch the field, and that's what caused the infamous jet dryer incident.
A sad Atlanta memory, but Atlanta is why we have speed limits on pit road. The Fall race in 1990 had a horrible accident in the pits that killed the rear tire changer for Bill Elliott’s team.
Soda what makes it worse was Mike Rich actually replaced a rear tire changer for the team a couple years earlier because his career was ended in a identical incident
I believe Dale Earnhardt had a total of 34 wins at Daytona. Not all of them were Nascar points races, so they probably get overlooked. He had a number of wins in the IROC Series and won 10 straight Daytona 500 qualifying races from 1990-1999. He probably would have had numerous Daytona 500 wins if not for bad luck. One year he hit a seagull during the race. Also, don't forget when he flipped on the backstretch in 1997, got out of the ambulance, and finished the race.
When I see Daytona the first thing I think is the original Daytona game audio that goes lie “G A M E O V E R. G A M E O V E R GAMEOVER GAMEOVER YEAH!” Lol
I know you were talking about NASCAR racing but you shouldn't mention the 1959 Indy Racers that happened that year I took the lives of two drivers George amick and Marshall Tiegs
Montoya was having issues, pitted, returned to the track, broke something in the rear end and around he went into the jet dryer. Nothing anyone did wrong or could control
COMMENTS ALLOWED NOW, sorry y’all 😂
