Not only is this one of the few races in NASCAR history with multiple flips, but I'm pretty sure this is the only race in NASCAR history we're both vehicles that flipped over were able to drive away.
@@NickSamon I was born in 1999 lol.. I've just seen old clips and heard old stories and it's hard to remember exact years and tracks sometimes but I remember it happening. Been watching full time since 2009 and started in 2007. Took a break from full time from 2016-2021 though
Sure lived up to his name! And I could see why he thought he was gonna get the W here. Sucks he got frozen outta the win, but, hey. He finished in the top 3 with literal backmarker equipment at the very least. And at least they let him enjoy victory lane for a little bit!
A quick note on the driver shown at 4:40 Shige Hattori. In addition to the Truck Series, he also competed in CART & IRL from the late 90's-early 2000's. He currently owns his own team in the Truck Series as well as in the GT4 America Series.
@@randomstuff-id8bs Well, I guess NASCAR thought Hamilton was the clear winner cuz he was ahead of Spencer when the caution light came out. Apparently at the time, it was a rule where if a car was ahead of another car right when the caution light comes out, that car is considered the leader. I think it still exists to this day🤔
@@JustGenius2001 that is the rule today. Once they take the white flag its either whoever crosses the line first (checkers) OR if a caution occurs(wreckers) before they get back to the checkered flag the field is frozen when the caution occurs and they will use all means necessary and available to determine a winner. Hence the saying checkers or wreckers when they take the white flag
"As for Jimmy Spencer, he would never come closer than this to winning a NASCAR race in his career, in any series." I think he meant to say for the remainder of his career. Jimmy Spencer did win races.
@@NASCARFAN93100 I've heard some people believe Joseph Lombard is on the spectrum and couldn't tell when he was crossing boundaries. I don't know how true that is.

@@xavierjuno4572 off the top of my head.... Keselowski, Logano, Busch, Reddick, Chastain, Austin Dillon, Hamlin, Almirola, Elliott, Blaney, Cindric, Suarez, Bell, Harvick, Larson, Custer
I used to watch Benny race at the local tracks when he first started racing in Michigan. That was like '64, '65 maybe. Heck I remember watching Wayne Bennett, who drove for that team BEFORE Benny. Yeah, I'm old . . .
I very much remember it. I remember getting home from school SUPER excited to kick off the season and watched the entire speedweeks. I actually vividly think of this race ending everytime there is a gwc
I remember this race. I was so mad a Spencer for pulling into victory lane. He was just an arrogant bunch of BS his entire Career. But he was fun to get mad at.
This is not a real video🥺. I was there that night with my dad and late grandfather on the backstretch. Iv paused the video at 33 seconds. This is the second 2005 videos from Daytona I have seen on this channel and I am actually so happy Right now I texted my dad both of the videos so he can have the memories also. I was only a lil guy then I was born in 1998 this was my 2ed real race I’d ever been too and I remember more about the trucks than I do the 500🥲 I still love the sport less so than my main love of gt endurance racing, but nascar was the start and I’ll never forget my roots and still make the attempt to watch the races on Sunday.
This was the first nascar race i attended in person. I was 7 and my dad brought me. It is an experience I’ll never forget. Also helps that I was a Bobby Hamilton fan.
@@JustGenius2001 Why not? Plus kids photobomb interviews. I've seen it all of the time. He is about the same age as Bobby Jr. Maybe they though that was him and left him in the shot.
I remember this race I was there I was born in 1988 born and raised and still live 20 mins west of Daytona International Speedway I've been going there every year since my first race, the 1996 Busch Clash. I remember so many people cheering when we thought Jimmy won the race and there were a ton of boos when we heard BH won and started taking JS truck out of victory lane
For the record Spencer won twice at the Cup level for Junior Johnson at Daytona and Talladega in 1994 in the 27 McDonalds Ford. Also added 12 Xfinity wins and 1 truck series win.
I remember this race and was pulling for Jimmy Spencer at the time and I was pissed when Spencer didn't win. Not that I didn't like Hamilton because I did but I wanted Jimmy to win that race.
As a kid I wished Jimmy Spencer pulled it off since I had a diecast of that lovely Snap On Dodge. In hindsight though I can see how Bobby Hamilton won that one. Though I don’t think NASCAR would make the same call today lol
Jimmy is really a pretty good guy. What you see is what you get. A lot of the funny or weird stuff he did was to draw attention, yes, to him, but for the sponsors. Three guys who rarely won, but always has good sponsors. Michael Waltrip, Rick Mast, and Jimmy Spenser. Why? Their offbeat senses of humor. It got them noticed, which got sponsors noticed.
I do not blame Spencer for pulling the power move and going into victory lane. The difference between him leading a lap to the flag falling is literally a second. But I wont lie, I was happy as a Hamilton fan and I sure do miss that son of a gun.
Besides the flips I feel like this race is most remembered by the absolutely evil handling race trucks. The 2nd big one was the shining example. These guys could not keep the trucks straight
I actually DO remember this race (rather, forgot about it till you did this post) and I remember saying Hamilton won that race. What a great racer he was and he is missed.
It's now the longest consecutive driver/sponsor relationship in NASCAR history. This year was the year he beat Petty/STP. IIRC the team and Menards started two years before that. John Menard used to work on USAC Indy car teams.
I dont remember this race because I probably didnt catch it on tv but I do remember i believe about the 3 or so races after it where they all finished 3 wide coming to the line
Not that unusual at Daytona . . . or Talladega. They changed Atlanta (version 3) to be more like that. Hate it. Atlanta was almost perfect the way it was. Look up the winning margin on Racing Resources. Heck the very first race on the new (version 2) track the ARCA cars finished three-wide there. I was in the flagstand and couldn't tell who finished first, second, or third.
What is your favorite Daytona controversy?
When i did a whoopie
Justin Haley being snubbed of his last lap pass win
Group Qualifying and Clint Bowyer calling out NASCAR’s BS…. SOMEHOW not getting a fine!
Probably when rain turned the entire field into a junk yard and Austin dillon somehow clearing out of the mayhem
none, because controversies suck
Not only is this one of the few races in NASCAR history with multiple flips, but I'm pretty sure this is the only race in NASCAR history we're both vehicles that flipped over were able to drive away.
I thought that was the most noteable thing too! That was some crazy good luck in the same race
The truck race at Knoxville last year had one that flipped and kept going, but two!!!!
Dale Sr drove away after flipping his car in the 90s and finished the race. Totaled but driveable

Jimmy Spencer pulled into Victory Lane before anyone knew who won. What a legend.
I don't like being that guy but: who won* not "one"

"As for Jimmy Spencer, he would never come closer than this to winning a NASCAR race in his career, in any series."

Yeah, was going to say this.
I caught that too I know he did have at least 1 win at Daytona and I thought one at Bristol or martinsville
@@jacksonvilleinternationalr4758Talladega
That had me on google in an instant cause I knew for damn sure he’d won, in all three series as a matter of fact

i never had the oportunity to see the race, but seeing 2 trucks flipping over is something really amazing for how chaotic it was

Jimmy Spencer definitely won 2 races in his Cup series career. Both came in 1994, one was at Daytona.
I'm assuming he meant "again", heh.
Other one was at Dega in 94'. He is also 1 of 40 drivers(currently) to win a race in all 3 top NASCAR series.

He won at least a couple Busch races, as well as two restrictor plate races in '94 for Junior Johnson.
Stenthouse Jr being behind Hamilton was like a ominous foreshadowing of him becoming Wrecky Stenthouse
You mean 2023 Daytona 500 champion lol
That doesn't even make any sense.
Boy that didn't age well
Hard to believe it's been 16 years since we lost Benny Parsons and Bobby Hamilton
Bobby Hamilton was a great welder / fabricator dude had much respect in the shop
Died nine days apart from each other.

I remember Mr Excitement getting pushed outta victory lane
Wild that Ricky stenhouse was behind hamilton and he just won this years 500!
Back when the cars sounded good at the plate races
7:15 bruh did they just make a smiley face
Finally getting around to watching this after the 500… how appropriate for Stenhouse to appear in this video!
Hot damn, I remember this! My pop and I were pulling for Bobby; we didn't like "Mr. Excitement"
Sad day when Bobby passed away 😔
Chad Chaffin's flip looks like Matt Crafton's flip in the 2017 NextEra Energy Resources 250.
Jimmy Spencer won two races in the cup series, twelve in Xfinity and one truck race. So he definitely won some NASCAR races
The fact that Ricky stenhouse Jr was even there explains a whole lot
As like in the fans stands?

13:11 correction, winning *another* race in his career. Since he did have a few national series wins haha
I watched this full race about a week ago, I remember the debris smiley face thing :)
“This debris was real” a rare scene nowadays
they rarely have debris cautions now lol
7:39 *WOOF* *WOOF* PWOBLEMS
3:00 he went from a truck series pioneer with a decent career to a child loving creep (the one that flipped in the 14 truck)
That flip foreshadowed his life's downfall. Poetic if you ask me.
“Nobody remembers “ this is a pretty memorable truck race
I remember watching this race as a kid and being so mad Jimmy Spencer didn't win. Such a crazy race from start to finish.
Its not even that controversial either tbh.
Yeah I remember this truck race more than any other… I wonder where he’s getting his “nobody remember” stats from 🤣
I remember this, I was 15 and it's still probably my most memorable truck race.
These trucks were so light
I remember seeing this in clips on TH-cam
WOW! look at young ricky stenhouse standing behind the late Bobby Hamilton! Its truly interesting how life works out in this sport sometimes!
Is that Ricky Stenhouse at 12:30?
Yep lol
Only Jimmy Spencer could be mad at a guy who passed him clean. I liked Spencer and I'm from his hometown but man he'd bitch about anything
I remember this race. I was so mad a Spencer for pulling into victory lane. He was just an arrogant bunch of BS his entire Career. But he was fun to get mad at.
It's still kinda funny that him and Kurt Busch of all people had a rivalry between each other.

RIP Bobby Hamilton
You need to do a video on the 2012 Daytona truck race NASCAR’s most forgotten Cinderella story
Who won that race?
I really thought Spencer won it until replay says otherwise. Missed Bobby Hamilton though.
As the the vidoe unfolded, I knew I could already remember that Jimmy drove to winners circle almost immediately
Now we know where wrecky Spinhouse gets his wrecking st daytona from
Oh the heydays on NASCAR…I remember this race. The flips were amazing and the racing was mesmerizing. What a classic thriller.
Waltrip's Truck win was iffy LOL
Ricky wins this race in 18 years 🤯

I can't say much about any truck races, as there are maybe 3 to 5 max per year televised on our Canadian stations.
I remember watching this as a kid!
Jimmie did win 2 races in Nascar, in 1994 (Daytona July & Talladega July Races)
awesome video
I think every race during speedweeks that year had at least one flip or multiple except the Busch race surprisingly
And they actually ran the scheduled distance! No green white checkers!
Bruh this race ended on a green white checkered
As a kid I wished Jimmy Spencer pulled it off since I had a diecast of that lovely Snap On Dodge. In hindsight though I can see how Bobby Hamilton won that one. Though I don’t think NASCAR would make the same call today lol

I was at this race! I remember being in line to get on the bus to take us back to the parking lot when we heard that Bobby Hamilton had won!
I remember this very well 😂
Oh I definitely remember this!
Imagine if jimmy spencer actually won tho…
11:49 i never would have guessed that'd be Stenhouse.
Didn’t this race start late on tv? Kinda remember that only because of the flip. Radio was way ahead of the tv for some reason and idk why.
