@@vanillawafer176that's where you can get some drivers involved. Really, Dale Jr would help you. Maybe Kelly Earnhardt too. Contact JR Motorsports in Mooresville NC. Harry Gant is in Taylorsville NC. Ned Jarrett is in Newton NC. Dale Jarrett is in Hickory NC. Ryan Newman is in Statesville NC, and I think Kyle Busch is either in Huntersville or Statesville NC. These driver's would be glad to share info. I have a somewhat extensive NASCAR knowledge myself.
The best finish is actually 2. 2001 daytona races. Watching Mikey get his win "taken" away by dales death and then a few months later Jr wins and they all celebrate. You can't beat the emotions of thay day, still gives me chills to watch those races
My favorite finish of all time has to be the 2001 Pepsi 400. The Earnhardt family means a lot to me, especially because my dad introduced me to NASCAR and Sr. And Jr. were the first drivers I really grasped onto and every time I see that finish it just brings a tear to my eye. My dad passed away last year, so I have more of a connection to motorsports than I ever have before. He’s the one who got me introduced into it but I didn’t get into it till way later.
When you were doing close finishes, I was going, he forgot Craven? How could he be so ignorant. Thank goodness I was impatient! I remember “practicing” my sax during the last hour or so of this race. That was a great race! It also quite possibly was saved a fate with The Rock or North Wilkesboro.
Too Bad Kurt didn’t get it But good for Craven What A Finish My All Time Favorite Made Me Jump up off the couch After waking up from a nap with about 30 to go .
You really have a good channel. I enjoy the content you should have more than 8400 subscribers. I thoroughly enjoy these videos and how you narrate them. Very good!
Great work!!! A long video, but I was intrigued the whole time. I grew up in Nascar. My first race was the 1979 Daytona 500. I was in the tower with my father, and we had a Closed Circuit TV in our booth. We were in the P.A. booth. I daw a different view of the fight. It was from the turn 3 camera. As Richard Petty crossed the finish line, I looked at the monitor and saw a Sunday afternoon slobberknocker.
Cole Pearn had those early gen6 cars figured tf out And I was at Gordon’s legacy win. The crowd staying after to watch his celebration was a moment I’ll never forget .
I grew up watching Ricky Craven in the Busch North Series in the early 90s (grew up close to Oxford Plains Speedway, and the Oxford 250 is one of the greatest short track races in the Northeast [Geoff Bodine, Kevin Harvick, and Kyle Busch are former winners there, so it's a pretty rich pedigree for a race that's otherwise just a local sub-tier of the Busch/Xfinity series]). That finish at Darlington will forever be burned into my memory as one of the greatest sporting events ever.
Great Vid! liked your criteria for what makes a good finish! really well researched. few of em i think deserve another look. 1. Dale didnt "get spun" in the 92 Winston, he simply lost it, but doesnt really change how insane that finish was. 2. Vickers definitely didnt hook JJ into Jr on purpose, and only got the win cuz the caution came out when it did, other wise Kahne and Kurt race to the line.(he got that win the same way McDowell won the 500) 3. Smoke didnt move Denny at Sonoma, Denny f*cked up and missed the braking point, probably expecting Tony to divebomb him. and just for history's sake, AJ Foyt was runnin 3rd when Donnie and Cale crashed, but slowed when the yellow came out as was customary in USAC/Open Wheel back then, but prior to DJ's wreck at NH in 2003 you raced back to the line to take the caution in NASCAR, so The King and DW blew by AJ. all in all, awesome vid! keep up the good work!!
I find it crazy how both Ernie Irvan, and Dale Earnhardt suffered from the same injury, and Ernie was able to survive that. That just shows his resilience. I wish Earnhardt would have been able to do the same, but unfortunately there were way too many factors that made that almost impossible. I wish I was alive to see that 28 car in its prime.
Your video is great.. but nonetheless to me is Dale Sr. Winning the Daytona 500. I understand the aspect of your video but will always enjoy the 98 Daytona 500...
I love fuel milage races. I happen to think the 2011 Coke 600 had one of the greatest finishes in nascar history. Dale Jr and some of the other leaders ran out of gas, and Kevin Harvick came from out of nowhere to collect the win.
One of my favorite feel-good finishes was the father-son battle between Bobby Allison and Davey Allison with Bobby holding off his son to show the old man still had it. I will admit that my opinion of this finish is biased because my father was a huge Bobby Allison fan which basically made me a Davey Allison fan by default. Their Victory Lane moment was one of the coolest in NASCAR history as well with Bobby boring Miller beer all over Davies head. I always imagined a Bizarro universe version of that finish where Davy wins and pours Havoline motor oil all over Bobby.😂
Correct, what's even crazier was that he caused a caution for spinning out 90 laps before the rain came and even went a lap down. Talk about getting lucky!
I love fuel strategy wins. I enjoy those final 15 laps where you have no idea what might happen. I hate when the driver in 2nd wrecks both himself and the leader, especially when it is simply a matter of a BS track layout, like in the infamous Roval and Indy Roadcourse finishes. ...which explains why I hate modern Nascar so much...
17:40 Anyone hating that , just doesn’t get it . That is A Great V 🏁 Doesn’t matter if You like the driver or not That’s A Bad Ass Move & I’m A Truex Fan Kyle Busch is My Favorite Truex & Blaney are My nexties No, not Dave 😁 But Logano earned that Victory 🏁✌️
My All Time Favorite Finish Is The Lady in Black Sharpie 97 Kurt Busch Vs Tide Ride 32 Ricky Craven 🏁 What A Finish 💪 Kurt was My Favorite Driver @ that time So I was %💯 going for Kurt But Craven getting a W didn’t ruin it That’s for sure. Craven is alright . 👍 Kurt was Until I met Him in person and He was the douche everyone else thought He was . Kyle Busch has been My Favorite driver ever since then & I’ve met Him 3x and He was Great every time Legit Dude to His Supporters The Man just Loves Winning He can act a little weenie a couple times But All The Drivers are from 2000’s on No OG’z anymore Chase & Truex Jr are pretty Rad Dudes Cousin Carl wasn’t a BiG Nerd . Kyle is Dope other than just a couple instances, like that truck race 😬 But overall Kyle Is Dope & Legit 🏁 ✌️
3:58 - "Slew down"? Are you trying to say "slowed down"? Although "slew" is a word (defined as a noun - and followed by the word "of" - to mean a large number of something: "a slew of birds flew in from the north", or a verb meaning "to skid" or "slide" or "turn abruptly")... it is NOT however, any form/tense of the word "SLOW". Generally, I don't care how people use words, since words come to mean whatever we as a society decide they should mean (that's why I find it fascinating - and I've come to accept - that today's younger people have decided to use the word "literally" to mean "figuratively"). But, until society as a whole, starts using the word "slew" to mean the past tense of "slow", rather than the current past participle "slowed"... you, as a professional narrator, should probably avoid saying it.
2001 Pepsi 400 at DAYTONA, My favorite race of all time bar none and will never be broken, Chase winning at Martinsville and Phoenix to win the title close, but not surpassing and nothing never will.
Man if you shore up a couple quality issues this channel could be great. I don’t even watch nascar. Good job, 6/10. Some improvements this channel could be an easy 7 or 8!
Oh dear lord don't remind me of John Hunter for no reason driving through Custer like that that was ridiculous to see that he would do that to my driver and he complains about drivers driving through him even though he's been doing it longer than them this is why I kind of have no respect for John Hunter for doing that crap and being a hypocrite about it Custer should have won Canadian Tire not him that was a BS way to win a race "if you can't pass them wreck him" mentality
I was so happy the day Dale won the 500.... the last race i watched... was his last race... haven't watched a race since... just these compilation videos.
Hey man, i love your videos. I'm a small TH-camr who makes videos on cars, motorsport, and it's best drivers and stories. Would you be down to do a collaboration in a nascar themed video?
@@vanillawafer176 well, there are a lot of options, you want to switch to Instagram or email to talk about it more in detail? I'm currently working on a colab with 1nterntalkswheels on a video about the 7 time curse in motorsports (between F1, Indy, and nascar, the most championships to a driver's name is 7). But I'd be happy to do something somewhat similar, maybe a video on the best underappreciated drivers or, idk, really anything
Honestly, Vickers was in a lose-lose situation. Either push his teammate and get booted from Hendrick Motorsports anyways, Or wreck two of the top drivers and become public enemy #1
Uhhh speak for urself. I love fuel mileage wins. Strategy is what racing is about.. Winning on fuel mileage means you were smarter than the competition. Definitely don't agree with some of your ideas mate..
Every single NASCAR documentary type video I watch uses the exact same music selection as emplemon.
Not that I’m complaining
This is the quality nascar content I love to see 🤌
Not gonna lie. I cried a little seeing Jeff Gordon win at Martinsville. Never have I been so happy for a sporting event in my life.
Here's hoping my boy Chastain adds another entry into the list of iconic NASCAR victories next year.
The 2022 Cota finish was pretty iconic if you ask me.
@@tugtraingeekmoments I was there lol
He punched Noah in the face thus far so… pending
Well, the Phoenix finishe this year was pretty iconic
This deserves way more views, by far. Thank you for making this video. Liked and subscribed!
Thank you! This video definitely took some time to make, but I'm glad how it turned out.
@@vanillawafer176 You did Well 👍
Please do a NASCAR Timeline Series to celebrate NASCAR's 75th Anniversary
That would be cool! My information of Pre Modern NASCAR is slim however. Definitely a good idea though!

Dale Jr. Winning the 2001 Pepsi 400 was the most celebrated, remembered and media covered win of all time. It's not even close.

I believe harvicks first win was bigger by a little bit
@@nascarplanet9858 not even close 🤣
@@nascarplanet9858And a more exciting finish. The 5 way battle for the lead before that was good and then the finish was even better.
This is so so good thanks for all the hard work! I see some EmpLemon influence and I dig it. Keep it up man
Thank you so much. Emplemon is so talented at his story telling
@@vanillawafer176 you even sound like him tbh

It’s Steve Park* without the S at the end and Waltrips win would be OVERSHADOWED by Dales death, not foreshadowed.
Incredible video. Earned my subscription easily.
Great video my man. Would be awesome to see a update with the first half of the 24 season. Atlanta and Kansas were cray cray
Cole Pearn had those early gen6 cars figured tf out

this video has a real EmpLemon vibe to it.
Love it!
Imagine the battles we could've seen between Jr/Sr..😔 especially @ Daytona/Talladega since they were the greatest plate racers of all-time
Pontiac got an extension on their front end from NASCAR and that was the difference between a win and 2nd place
Imagine if they did that with today's car, it would almost be dead even!
The added downforce helped too.
EMP lemon inspired video im guessing, great content!
Thank you! Im a huge fan of Emplemon! His talent is unmatchable
I appreciate the use of Gran Turismo 5 music
Ricky Craven and Kurt. I had both of them in our Nascar pool at work. I won a few hundred bucks. Haha
WOOOO VANILLAWAFER UPLOAD!!
Your video is great.. but nonetheless to me is Dale Sr. Winning the Daytona 500. I understand the aspect of your video but will always enjoy the 98 Daytona 500...
Dale Sr was an iconic win for sure. It was almost poetic how it turned out.
MY TOP 10 GREATEST Finishes in NASCAR History:

3. 1984 Firecracker 400
2. 1979 Daytona 500
1. 1976 Daytona 500
Great variety of NASCAR Races throughout the years!
And the song when tony stewart won at sonoma
Espirit - Daydream
Whats the name of the song at the start of the legacy wins chapter
Espirit - Cruiser
Kyle Busch ALSO won the 2021 Clash the same way, Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney crashed in the last turn and Busch passed both coming to the finish
That was definitely a crazy finish too! I guess never count out KB if he is in third place.
Love the OG NASCAR Heat music!
I love fuel milage races. I happen to think the 2011 Coke 600 had one of the greatest finishes in nascar history. Dale Jr and some of the other leaders ran out of gas, and Kevin Harvick came from out of nowhere to collect the win.

That Chastain race was awesome. At least he beat Hamlin lol
I'm surprised the Gordon Johnson duel at Atlanta isn't on this list
Brad Keselowski will always be labeled a villain in my eyes for the Talladega finish
Good edits.
Appreciate it!
Didn't Lagano win his first race because he stayed out under caution because rain was coming?
Correct, what's even crazier was that he caused a caution for spinning out 90 laps before the rain came and even went a lap down. Talk about getting lucky!

That is A Great V 🏁
Doesn’t matter if You like the driver or not
That’s A Bad Ass Move
& I’m A Truex Fan
Kyle Busch is My Favorite
Truex & Blaney are My nexties
No, not Dave 😁
But Logano earned that Victory 🏁✌️
Time to ignore my girl for 55 minutes and 29 seconds 😎
😂😂😂
Nobody wanted the cars to "slew down"
My All Time Favorite Finish
Is The Lady in Black
Sharpie 97 Kurt Busch Vs
Tide Ride 32 Ricky Craven 🏁
What A Finish 💪
Kurt was My Favorite Driver @ that time
So I was %💯 going for Kurt
But Craven getting a W didn’t ruin it
That’s for sure. Craven is alright . 👍
Kurt was Until I met Him in person and He was the douche everyone else thought He was .
Kyle Busch has been My Favorite driver ever since then & I’ve met Him 3x and He was Great every time
Legit Dude to His Supporters
The Man just Loves Winning
He can act a little weenie a couple times But All The Drivers are from 2000’s on
No OG’z anymore
Chase & Truex Jr are pretty Rad Dudes
Cousin Carl wasn’t a BiG Nerd .
Kyle is Dope other than just a couple instances, like that truck race 😬
But overall Kyle Is Dope & Legit 🏁 ✌️
That has to the best final 5 laps I have ever seen outside of Dale doing what he did at Talladega in 2000.
They could run destruction derby at Bristol, oh, they do.
Craven and Busch was one of the best. Darlington
These are prettt good mini docs. You sound a little animated. Maybe if you just be yourself more, the followers will come.
Oh yeah, Im a very animated person. It turns off a few people, but like you said, its best to be yourself
If this doesn't end with Craven and Busch at Darlington.. I swear to God...

Vickers knew he was going to red bull the following season
God i love ricky craven. He had his moments
I can't stand Lagano..
but..
his Martinsville win was just good short track racin'!
YAAAAH! Give the younger kids a chance to win!
Man if you shore up a couple quality issues this channel could be great. I don’t even watch nascar. Good job, 6/10. Some improvements this channel could be an easy 7 or 8!

Wait is slew down a thing you can say?
Are you a slowed or slew person?

I know Rusty only won 1 championship, but all of his wins won me a lot of money.
Curious.....
Did I hear that they "slew" the cars down? Or was I mistaken?
Overshadowed* not foreshadowed on Mikeys win. Also it's Park. Not Parks. Otherwise great content 👍

Yes. A championship 2 months later.
