What a great attitude by Kurt Busch. What a man!

[@grangesaves33]

He has clearly matured a lot since being the last person Dale gave the one-fingered salute to

[@TheCamSays]

What makes this finish even more special, Darlington was about to get its dates taken away. It was on the chopping block before this.
This one finish saved the race track.

[@joshuaheaton9153]

It was gonna be like Rockingham or North Wilksboro

[@CycloneRecords113]

Seeing Kurt tear up made me tear up

[@allenweston7681]

If this win doesn’t happen Darlington probably left off the schedule by 2005 and none of us would have any great memories of the Lady in Black. I wouldn’t have the memory of 2011 riding around in the pace car at 100mph with the driver have one finger on the wheel and being a foot of the wall in July,2011 before losing my mom in November of that year. Thanks Ricky Craven and Kurt Bush for saving this jewel. Love, A 21 year old Nascar Fan

[@Mole204]

I'm a Kurt Busch and Rubbermaid fan (Rubbermaid paid for my college; long story but go Wooster, Ohio!) This race and when Kurt pushed Ryan across the line at Daytona are my two favorite races. Kurt, be well in your retirement. We love you.

20 years for Greatest Race of Finish line rivalry Kurt Busch vs Ricky Craven at Darlington and also,the infamous commentary with Mike joy and Darrell Waltrip said Have you ever no I've never.

[@JayTeeKay]

These uploads have been fantastic this weekend NASCAR. Compliments from all us fans.

[@allhailyeezus]

This was a beautiful documentary, super entertaining!

[@Georgia-Red-Mud]

it really was one heck of a race, thanks Kurt for all the crazy stuff you did on and off track

[@ThandrieDavis]

This is a legendary video, and it's criminal how few people have seen it.

[@b.j.morgan8175]

What an amazing finish, one that solidified an 11 year old me at the time as a fan for life.

[@adamcompson7747]

Still one of The Most Iconic NASCAR Finishes to This Day the Greatest finish ever in Nascar

[@maximumblue8394]

It is and will always be the best finished I ever watched. Watching the replay never gets old and I've watched the finish more times than I can count. The best thing is how both Kurt and Ricky were able to smile, laugh, and shack hands in victory lane.

[@tambakoverlanders]

I feel that the win was a foreshadowing for Pontiac. An "exciting" brand that had its struggles, an underdog to Chevy. There was some glimmer of hope, only to sadly struggle later in the season & exit the sport totally unceremoniously at seasons end. With GM itself axing the division in 2010.
Interesting to note that NASCAR mostly used Pontiac pace cars throughout the 90s. Always proud when a Pontiac leads the field.
I'll always be a Pontiac guy, always.

[@jasonjackson5493]

I was a good watching this and I couldn't believe what I had seen.......it stills gives me goosebumps, and it isn't talked about as much as it needs to be......it also saved darlington as there were talks of it loosing a date

[@captprice1b-06]

Awesome video, got to meet craven last year, he is an amazing dude, if you have time go see him at ricky craven motorsports in landis, NC

[@revelare_xvii6269]

The fact that this finish literally saved Darlington from being axed off the race schedule for good.

[@slash56000]

great video for the greatest finish ever. i also feel for kurt..which i can't believe i just sed. 10-12 years ago when he was throwing temper tantrums i couldn't stand him. But over the last few years I've actually been cheering for him. Hope he comes back and races soon.

[@XCaliKev]

👍😎 Really enjoyed remembering that. Both drivers showed respect for each other. That wouldn’t happen today.

[@carlreeves8976]

still to this day this race proves to be the best darlington race and closest finish of all time ricky craven wins by 0.002 unbelievable

[@CarsSimplified]

This finish was one of the first times I watched an iconic sports moment live as it happened. I remember my brother and I were standing up with three laps to go because it was too intense to sit down. It was an amazing victory to witness!

[@JohnWilkesBased]

I'm a new fan. I knew nothing about this.
Outstanding video - amazing finish and sportsmanship.

[@MarbleFox162]

I have so much respect for what those two did for the sport, and for that track. It was about to lose a spot on the calendar, and because of this race, it’s still run today.

[@Tommy23269]

I cried a little bit when Kurt choked up

[@Dirigo207]

Hands down will always be the best finish ever. The attitude of both the drivers then and now. Amazing.

[@alwayzchillin0714]

Rubbin is Racin! 🏁

[@chrisw443]

I saw this as a 13 year old kid. It solidified my love of nascar for life.

[@user-zy4gt2qs9c]

👋

[@TheBasilr]

OMG What a great video!!!❤

[@TheBigDawgSL]

Damn. Kurt is seriously emotional about this

[@Piterator]

Wonderful!

[@TheCamSays]

They’re doing retro Radioactives for the 75th season this year. I’m gonna need them to dig through the radios for Darlington once the Southern 500 hits in the fall and get the radios for this race and for this finish.

[@Brandy4824]

I remembered that

[@lightningfan95]

1 week left till we return to north wilksburo

[@StevenDNA86]

Bar none the best ever finish.

[@rcguy902]

98 500 and 01 400 were better

[@prairiefarmer5994]

Please do one of these for Atlanta with Jimmie and Jeff. Their battle in 2011 was amazing.

[@partsman1677]

Pontiac's last win in NASCAR cup series

[@rainiernqc]

The Best.

[@DaronP.959]

the only way this gets beat is if we have a 3 wide finish like yesterday at Atlanta but not in the super speedway style racing
if 3 wide finishes happens naturally like at vegas or something you can make the argument but I feel like at superspeedway its kinda manufactured to happen
still was a great finish yesterday though, not the same level as darlington tho

[@andrewdevore4799]

It got beat

[@DaronP.959]

@@andrewdevore4799 you right 😂
Although it was overtime and not exactly natural but .0000 is outrageous

[@mkensil27]

What i would do to get hit by one of them cars.....

[@TheBoringLlama]

huh

[@DYLANMATHEWS49]

Weird but understandable

[@Tommy23269]

This should have been Larson and Nemechek

[@Tommy23269]

@@Angie-Pants if Larson didn’t hit the wall on Saturday it would have been a drag race
