The best part about this race was the fact that they rebroadcasted it during the 2014 rain delay and all the major news outlets thought it was live and called Jimmie Johnson the winner again.
Talking with people on NASCAR on SPEED page that week. They said they were trying to save their cars because they weren’t getting enough parts and pieces of the car so they had to save it. That was until Talladega in May. We all know what happened in that one.
I remember being mega hyped for the start of the 2013 season too. The new Gen 6 car was coming online and my beloved #20 car was getting Matt Kenseth onboard it. Sadly, just like everyone else I was pretty bummed (not just about Kenseth's result!). The racing was pretty poor and generally always was on the plate tracks. The Spring Talladega race that year was pretty good, but other then that it was pretty lack lustre.
@@GatoradeCupSeriesX94I found the Gen 6 to be decent on the intermediates while the cars still had the 850-900HP in 2013 and 14, but once they slashed the power and added downforce the writing was on the wall.

I remember this. Though I was still thinking about what happened in the final lap in the Nationwide (Xinifty) race the previous day. Let’s hope the Gen 7 cars will be better. 🤞
Honestly, I can’t wait for Darian to make a video about the Third Worst Daytona 500 in like 8 Years about this year’s 500, which actually literally put me to sleep.
@@dshih199 I don’t know what you’re talking about. Da Biff won every race and championship from his first start to his last one, giving him a grand total of infinity wins and infinity championships. He retired just so other people had a shot.
This was the first race I ever watched and somehow, even as boring as it was, my little 8 year old self fell in love (ig because I was a Gordon fan and didn't know any better) but man looking back... this was a snoozer
Same here, also 8 I was brought to a party at a house in Florida where they had TVs outside and the 2013 Daytona 500 was on, even in a porta potty outside with a TV in it! I remember it was hyped, with them flying flags of the numbers of the drivers. Of course, I completely forgot about the race and never got into NASCAR until 5 months ago
This was one of the worst races to come out at the worst time for me. Middle School, personal drama, and Hurricane Sandy had jaded me, and I wanted a nice awesome Daytona 500 to cheer me up. And what happens? Stewart out 30 laps in, terrible racing, and the Gen 6 car being one of the few times I will actually say Brian France fucked up. Since aside from removing bits of manufacturer identity the Car of Tomorrow was perfectly acceptable and didn't need to be replaced with this! At least they fixed it for the next year.
I was at my grandpa's birthday party when this race was on. It was at a ymca and we couldn't watch most of the race (which was a blessing in disguise because of how boring it was), but we could really only see the end. The ymca just happened to put the race on a tv with about 10 to go. my dad, grandpa, and i were all kind of bored that johnson won, so that's that. thank you for coming to my in depth story behind this race lol
I will always say they rigged the pole for Miss I Have No Talent. Also, I’m a believer in them playing it as safe as they could after Kyle’s wreck the day before.
I still maintain on the final laps, had the guys hooked up early enough then Johnson would have been dogmeat but they could do anything with him. The drivers were really feeling out these cars and they felt they could make the same moves like they could with the old cars. They needed to get the train rolling way before if they could ever catch Johnson. Danica was even a threat to win this thing, I mean drivers couldn't make many moves and the pack couldn't stand to be around each other. I think this remains Danica's best start in a Cup race and her first top 10. This race just looked so dialed back than some of the Daytona 500s around this time period. I mean at least Jimmie won it, I mean somebody had to win this thing.
@@quentinparhiala9415 certainly 1979 should be right up there in my view, especially as it was the race that helped launch the sport on to the national stage, massively expanding its audience from the South East
I didn't mind this 500 at all, actually. Heck, 2004 was worse cause that had literally only 3 cars battling for the lead for like...the last 50 laps. This at least had a semblance of competition. That only got a pass cause Jr. won. Sorry, but...yeah, the '04 500 blows that much.
I'd rather see some choo-choo shit than the current wreckfest that superspeedways are today. And I love a good wreck. Not the choo-choo shit like this,, but the choo-choo shit like the 90's.
I think the train racing was cause of the drivers and teams chose to do it. They didn't have a notebook on racing Gen 6 at Daytona yet. So to play it safe and not risk tearing anything up, they all just ran single file. That way they could take the car and engine back and really study it and get notes. We saw the same thing in the 2007 October race at Talladega. New car and never raced on a plate track before. We're gonna see the exact same thing when Gen 7 "Next Gen" rolls out in 2022. New car+new package+no notebook+no history= train racing
Neither of her other top 10 finishes had her crash, other races included but it’s hard to count, however she didn’t crash at (What is considered the best race there) Auto Club, she finished a lap down
Fun fact. Been a fan since 1999 and I will tell you that the 2000 500 is what killed the break away type of racing. The next race at Talladega they implemented rule changes that allowed 3 and 4 wide racing all day with no breakaway. But it didnt work in the July race at Daytona so they went with the roof strip package for the Winston 500 and we all know how great that race was. The rest was history.
Now I remember why the 2013 Daytona 500 was a heartbreaker as a Dale Jr fan back in the day. He had that same run similar to the 2010 and 2012 Daytona 500s, he just ran out of time. I still have that 2014 Daytona 500 championship tee after Dale Jr won that race, I wore it to football practice like an idiot when I was 15 years old. It's all torn up but hell it's still good for lounging. From a retrospective point of view, 2014 was the year when the window closed in regards to winning the Daytona 500 for JR Nation. If he had a shot to win either of his last two Daytona races especially his last Daytona race, if he didn't DNF'd out of both races, he would have swept Daytona for the 2017 season. He had the car to beat in both races especially in his last race. I attended his last 500 and Daytona race in person and he had the car where Kurt Bush sure would not have won that 500 and quite possibly Dale Jr would have held off Steinhouse in the 2017 Coke Zero Sugar 400.
Where was I when this race happened? At first, in a hospital bed after my appendix burst (fun fact: the day before at the end of the Xfinity race, the nurses rushed in because my heart monitor was going nuts, fearing the worst... nope, it's just me at the end of a plate race), and then, despite my best pleas and efforts, going under for surgery before the race ended (around the time Kenseth's engine blew). I fell asleep during the Oscars later that night - always love February as a NASCAR, Olympics, and film awards season fan. Helps that my birthday often falls the weekend of the 500, too. :) I was born a day before the 2000 500, so make of that what you will.
Im sorry. Im a huge fan of your channel and watch you weekly. With that being said, i still hold my opinion that the 2010 Daytona 500 was the worst in the race's history. I was there at the track in 30 degrees weather with night falling and the pot hole still not fixed. God that was a long one. Hope you're good man!
7:54 If Mark would have moved up to the outside he would've had a chance to catch Jimmie Johnson. Instead he decided to push Dale Jr who didn't even try to win.
There was a Talladega race held in the 90's on a Mother's Day Sunday, it went the full 500 miles without a single caution flag. There was no strategy involved that day, it was get up front and go very fast, I think Mark Martin won it. Dull as hell.
As a French Nascar fan, the hours of watching Nascar Live was between 6pm to 11pm, this race was the second one that I've seen it live from start to finish. My parents judged me after the race because they were like "wow a train of cars for 5 hours" and I hated Gen 6 cars after just one race. I also hated this race because I was a Stewart fan and well after 30 laps he got in the first "real" wreck. But yeah, this was a really bored race. Oh btw, in European Countries, we have less commercial breaks so we were watching more of the race then you other guys from the US.
Even back when the Harlem Shake was a thing, I didn’t get why so many people thought it was such a cool thing to do. And I thought it couldn’t have gotten worse than when _The Simpsons_ jumped on the bandwagon…
Idk, as much as the racing was boring, I can kinda understand a bit of why the drivers were doing this, they got a brand new race car that is WAAAAAAYYYYYY more aero sensitive than any of the cars from the past and the drivers didn’t know what they were running with. Especially durning the pre season test, they had that massive wreck that took out just about the entire field, so that pretty much told the drivers that “hey, we might wanna take it easy with these cars,. They’re a little hard to handle” and thus the 2013 season on super speedways. Mainly the whole 2013 season. The drivers I don’t think even liked the cars, even Hamlin after one of the New Hampshire races had not good words to say about the Gen 6 car and said it needed work, which it did later on....just to make the racing worse. Just constantly changing the package over and over and over to the point where it just got wicked old. And it just lead to the addition of the “Playoffs” and the dumb stages that don’t improve the racing one bit but to just cause more and more wrecks for ad revenue. Come 2022’s Daytona 500, if probably won’t be any different, maybe a bit more racing than 2013, but the Duels and the 500 r gonna just more of a learning curve for the new Gen 7, cause the drivers, while some have tested the car, even side by side, probably won’t really know what they’re running with. Cause I’ve always said this, but the Gen 7 will most likely handle like a cross between a GT3 car and a V8 Supercar. It’ll be more of how the drivers adapt to the car during the duels and the 500 that will determine how interesting the race is. Cause ya look how the drivers have been with the Gen 6, they’re aggressive as hell, I’m surprised nobody has gotten themselves killed from how aggressive they’ve been racing. We practically almost just had that after Newman’s crash in the 2020 Daytona 500. And it’s gonna be a big question how the Gen 7 can make up for the mess of issues the Gen 6 has caused.

There was a Talladega race held in the 90's on a Mother's Day Sunday, it went the full 500 miles without a single caution flag. There was no strategy involved that day, it was get up front and go very fast, I think Mark Martin won it. Dull as hell.
Love the song choice - definitely my favorite track from 2005
I was 5 but remember the 2000 Daytona 500 like it was yesterday. I wanted you the 10 car to win
As a French Nascar fan, the hours of watching Nascar Live was between 6pm to 11pm, this race was the second one that I've seen it live from start to finish. My parents judged me after the race because they were like "wow a train of cars for 5 hours" and I hated Gen 6 cars after just one race. I also hated this race because I was a Stewart fan and well after 30 laps he got in the first "real" wreck.
But yeah, this was a really bored race.
Oh btw, in European Countries, we have less commercial breaks so we were watching more of the race then you other guys from the US.
As a hendrick fan I turned a blind eye when Jimmie was up front 😂😂😂😂🤷♂️. And that Harlem shake was 🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂
This is literally the race that killed my interest in nascar. I am getting back into it with the hopefully better car, but yeah...
That's sad. Not every Super Bowl is great.
I love this 500
You cant miss the fact that he used Pencil Fight from Atomship
A song from NASCAR 2005: Chase For The Cup
my friend you could upload a video for the 2007 daytona speedweeks and the daytona 500 the most chaotic speedweeks ever
Now do a video about the 3rd worst Daytona 500 aka 2021 Daytona 500.
I would say that 2021 was the 2nd worse
Pencil Fight, best way to describe any Nascar Race
Even back when the Harlem Shake was a thing, I didn’t get why so many people thought it was such a cool thing to do. And I thought it couldn’t have gotten worse than when _The Simpsons_ jumped on the bandwagon…
Idk, as much as the racing was boring, I can kinda understand a bit of why the drivers were doing this, they got a brand new race car that is WAAAAAAYYYYYY more aero sensitive than any of the cars from the past and the drivers didn’t know what they were running with. Especially durning the pre season test, they had that massive wreck that took out just about the entire field, so that pretty much told the drivers that “hey, we might wanna take it easy with these cars,. They’re a little hard to handle” and thus the 2013 season on super speedways. Mainly the whole 2013 season. The drivers I don’t think even liked the cars, even Hamlin after one of the New Hampshire races had not good words to say about the Gen 6 car and said it needed work, which it did later on....just to make the racing worse. Just constantly changing the package over and over and over to the point where it just got wicked old. And it just lead to the addition of the “Playoffs” and the dumb stages that don’t improve the racing one bit but to just cause more and more wrecks for ad revenue. Come 2022’s Daytona 500, if probably won’t be any different, maybe a bit more racing than 2013, but the Duels and the 500 r gonna just more of a learning curve for the new Gen 7, cause the drivers, while some have tested the car, even side by side, probably won’t really know what they’re running with. Cause I’ve always said this, but the Gen 7 will most likely handle like a cross between a GT3 car and a V8 Supercar. It’ll be more of how the drivers adapt to the car during the duels and the 500 that will determine how interesting the race is. Cause ya look how the drivers have been with the Gen 6, they’re aggressive as hell, I’m surprised nobody has gotten themselves killed from how aggressive they’ve been racing. We practically almost just had that after Newman’s crash in the 2020 Daytona 500. And it’s gonna be a big question how the Gen 7 can make up for the mess of issues the Gen 6 has caused.
If I recall correctly this was the first in a series of Kyle Busch ruining Kasey Kahne’s races this year.
Do "the 3rd worst Daytona 500" next, please ;D
Songs in the background?? They sound so familiar but can't quite put my finger on it!
I dunno about you people, but I liked this race.
There is a curse than doesnt let drivers from latin america (like Montoya o Suarez) to complete the Daytona 500 have you noticed that?
Worst Daytona 500 years: 2013, 2016.
Heres the worst Daytona 500 years in my opinion: 2011, 2013, 2016, and 2020
2000, 2013, 2016
Eric Catozzi how in the hell was the 2020 500 a bad race? I thought it was pretty good
@@burlingtonfan7492 Because of the last lap that Newman almost died in that crash
Eric Catozzi Pretty sure he wasn’t close to dying, although tbf the wreck did look pretty bad. But scary crash =/= bad race
