Cj Buford It was already on the downhill slide. Mid 80s - 1996 was awesome. I remember the #9 running 212 @ Talladega. A feat that’ll never happen in NASCAR again. I was there for the “so called” pass in the grass and the #3 terrible crash @ Talladega. The cars made a hellacious sound when they passed in a pack . The girls were a lot prettier too. No fat tatted up hags back them. They was all athletic and in shape . No bellies hanging over hip huggers back then. Given that fact, I’d still take the racing from 2000- about 2005 over the garbage on TV today. I feel like vomiting every time I see PeeWee Herman driving the #18 today. I thought he got caught playing with himself in a theater somewhere.
I got into NASCAR in 1999 and LOVED it more than life and then 2006-2007 I really started to dislike the direction. I wish I had gotten into it sooner than 1999 if I knew 2007 and beyond was coming.
Crazy stat, that this was Harv's last Brickyard win before last Sunday. Also the last time a driver under 30 won the Brickyard...and it was Harv himself, haha.
2003 Brickyard 400 Location: Speedway, Indiana Track: Indianapolis Motor Speedway Type of race track: Superspeedway Starting cars: 43 Finishing cars: 38 Laps: 160 Cautions: 5 Pole Winner: Kevin Harvick (29) Most laps led: Tony Stewart (20) (60 laps led) Race Winner: Kevin Harvick (29)
Bring this Indy back. The vibes, the racing, the crowd, all of it. Truly a crown jewel back then, and meant so much to the drivers to win. It was just as valuable as the Daytona 500 for awhile.
We had seats right in Section B for this, about 4 rows up, the absolute perfect vantage point for the peak of Harvick's epic burnout. It is a moment I won't forget!
33:19 - Speaking of heartbreak, shout out to Brett Bodine dipping into a little bit of crowdfunding for his car that weekend, people could plop down $500 to put their name on the special brick-themed car he ran, only to miss the race by _0.001 seconds_ in qualifying, according to Wikipedia.
Kevin Harvick was a perfect choice to replace Dale Earnhardt Sr. after being killed in the 2001 Daytona 500, but Kevin Harvick would never be the same as Senior
The reason is (he never tried to replace SR.) as he said "No one could replace SR. So Don't expect me to" wise words coming from a much younger Kevin H.
nascarfanatic2425 I’ve always thought that all of the Havoline cars were gorgeous cars with the exception of the last one that I believe Montoya drove.
BP was a really humble and decent man. They’ve never been able to replace BP & Ned . Real Southern Gentlemen.
Well Ned made the choice to retire and Benny died.......so they didn't have much choice but replace them.
that harvick paint scheme was freaking awesome.
It was.
That was the best burnout Harvick has ever done
Wow...its hard to explain why, but 2001-2005 racing was just awesome
especially 2004
then the COT happened

@@AlonsoRules and the Mickey Mouse playoffs. That ruined nascar

Yes, he did say 300,000 fans in attendance. They don’t have that many for half the tracks on the circuit now.

He should have won in 2006 and 2007. At least he made up for it the last few years.
That is one of the best burnout ever

Hope they got a refund. Either that or they gotta accept they got scammed
Thank you so much!
Watching to see the best burnout ever
Thanks a lot for posting this I appreciate it.
31:55 Robby Gordon’s got that cingular wireless static! 😂
1:26-2:01: What is the "Countdown to Green" (2001-2006) theme song?
BEST BURNOUT EVER!
Best burnout in Nascar history
Kevin Harvick was a perfect choice to replace Dale Earnhardt Sr. after being killed in the 2001 Daytona 500, but Kevin Harvick would never be the same as Senior
And in this race. Harvick did the best burnout ever when he won it.
The reason is (he never tried to replace SR.) as he said "No one could replace SR. So Don't expect me to" wise words coming from a much younger Kevin H.
Best. Burnout. Ever.
BEST BURNOUT EVER!
2:54:26 Harvick
best days of nascar....not as many rules as nowadays
I won that day
I think Jamie Mac could've won if he didn't have to deal w/ Robby Gordon.
nascarfanatic2425 I’ve always thought that all of the Havoline cars were gorgeous cars with the exception of the last one that I believe Montoya drove.
Jaimie McMurray 3rd. WOW!!!
What?
You're welcome.
2:04:41 Cue The Duck!
neat how Jamie Mac was leading and later accomplished that feat in 2010
Kevin's the king of burnouts.
2:50:34 LOL!!
Man, those stands are empty these days :(
Jeff Gordon. CM in Louisiana
That is one of the best burnout ever
And in this race. Harvick did the best burnout ever when he won it.
Kevin's the king of burnouts.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
