- In the final laps of the 2002 Daytona 500, Sterling Marlin spins out Jeff Gordon, then during a red flag, pulls out the fender(which he is not supposed to do), causing to him to be penalized and allowing Ward Burton to win the race.
Smartest Driver in NASCAR. He was gonna blow a tire anyway. And there was a possibility he could have pulled it out real quick and NASCAR would have let it go. Either way he was screwed.
Plus he finished in the top 10 so he was the smart one there
People always say that but sometimes tire rubs go away. It can't have been that bad if he did a whole lap in the lead.
Not notice? He was in the rearview mirror of the fucking pace car!
@@bduddy55555 no one was trying to take that chance the year after Dale died
Exactly 👍 it was ingenious
Fun fact: Jay Leno was behind the wheel of that Pontiac Firebird pace car.
He was screwed either way. Either the tire would have blown or NASCAR was gonna black flag him.
Im with you. Surely if he hadnt got out and pulled the fender, he wouldve wrecked or pitted and finished 20th - ish - as it was he got a top ten. I cant see how that is a dumb move.
Hope youre good.

"Oh he can't do that!"

"but oh he cant do that" he just did dummy
As I recall he said something to the effect of, "Well, I saw Dale Earnhardt do it before"
Godhardt was allowed to do pretty much anything while other drivers got penalized. He probably would have been allowed to get away with what Marlin did here.
@@djmohab2 He was cleaning dirt off his windshield, and they where under caution, not a red flag. Nothing wrong with what he did.
@@_lucas_1k_ that was NASCAR's revenge for killing my favorite driver.
@@djmohab2 No he wouldnt he had mud on his windshield and it was under caution you can work on the car during caution thats why we have Yellow Flag Pitstops
@@CoasterMan13Official shut up, Godhardt killed himself with his improperly installed seatbelts
You're right, he should have just left it alone. He totally would have won the race with that sheetmetal rubbing against the right-front tire.
What his old keester deserved for spinning Jeff.
@@Jmeon4eva Whaaaaa! Gordon is a panzy ass anyway
@@r.r.hughes9808 He has more Wins and Championships.
@@Jmeon4eva Nobody cares.

I love the espn coverage days
Don’t you have a spotter to ask about your damage there bud lmao 😅
Sterling would have won the 2002 cup championship had the crash at Richmond not injured him. He’d have the exact same season until race 27, then have Tony Stewart’s results in the remaining races, except the 6th to last race at Charlotte where he would have won!
Richmond played a role but it was Kansas that finished his season. Even if he didn't get injured at Richmond the Kansas crash could had ended his season regardless.
Shouldn't have spun or made contact with Gordon. Dirty ass driver!
The "No working on your car under the red flag" is the dumbest fucking rule I've ever seen
The No passing if your left side tires go over the yellow line rule is even dumber
This video - AJ Foss's stupidity. Not understanding Marlin was going to have to pit or have the tire blow out anyway, it was the one move he could make to maintain a shot at victory.
Smart racing
I don’t know what the hell Sterling was thinking
C.J. O'Dell he was screwed either way. If he didn't do anything, eventually the damage would've caused him to blow a tire.
i remember this one.
Stupid title. Sterling did the right thing.
That guy is a jackass. He killed my favorite driver.
@Jie Andaya yes. Dale Earnhardt was the greatest driver in the sport imo.
Why did he choose to not use the HANS device?
wtf!?
Your favorite driver killed your favorite driver. Open face helmet and no HANS device. But you knew this already
trust me after listen to the jr. download Sterling beats himself up over by tapping Earnhardt's car trust me he lives in guilt and torment over it he watches the end of that race every month I hope he finds Christ and finds peace before he dies
I remember that those Dodges had everything else cover then!
