      I noticed that too. And even at 720p upload, it looks as good as 1080p. The camera work was also excellent with great cuts to the best angles throughout. It makes a huge difference for the viewer and the sort of race I can recommend to my non-racing friends.

    • @SwingAxleLover
      @SwingAxleLover 4 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      This is just how HD looked in 2009. Most people's recordings have really reduced the quality of races they uploaded. Races have looked basically as they do now since at least the mid 2000s.

    Such a fun and emotional weekend for me. The day before this race my two uncles and myself attended PINKS ALL OUT at Zmax dragway in Charlotte. Unbeknownst to us after qualifying for the Aaron's 499 at Talladega, Greg Biffle flew straight to Charlotte to do test passes in his drag race prepared Shelby Mustang, not for any official racing but more of a thing to hype the crowd during some downtime. After a 12hr day at Zmax, we stayed the night and drove home the next morning, just in time to watch this race. As a favorite past time my grandfather and myself would always watch the race on Sundays, but that wouldn't be anymore because he passed away on Superbowl Sunday Feb 1 2009. Ironically the Aaron's 499 was held on what would have been his 64th birthday April 25th. The place i worked at the time always had weekly race pools. You put in $10 with a chance to win $100. Well this weekend one of my drivers was Carl Edwards. I never thought he really had a chance to win until his strategy of hanging around the back and making his way up at the end was becoming more of a reality. Needless to say i was on the edge of my seat that last lap.

    I was in the stands at this race, about 500 yards from the finish line. I can remember the crowd was absolutely electric the last couple laps, you could feel it in the air. Everyone was screaming so loud and I saw the crash clear as day. Even after the crash, people kept screaming in excitement and confusion. I had no idea I witnessed NASCAR history right before my eyes. I’ll never forget it.
    Ironically, the same year, I saw Alabama block Tennessee’s final field goal, which would have won the game. Two historical moments for American sports I witnessed in person in the same year. Very strange.

    Brilliant work from Keselowski, then a newbie in the cup series. He did what he had to do to get up front by pushing Edwards and then took advantage of Edwards' drifting too far from the yellow line. I'm not really a Keselowski fan, but that was great stuff...perhaps the best "first cup win" ever.

    Wasn't either driver's fault in the end with Carl and Brad. Saw the thumbnail, waiting for that moment. (Albeit with dread) as I would've liked to see Carl Edwards finish the race. But that's racing. I liked the Ricky Bobby run across the finish line though. This race was the gift that keeps on giving!

  • @TheGribbleNator
    @TheGribbleNator ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Look at 24:50, they try hard not to ascribe blame but they were really quick to say Kenseth came up on Jeff. He did, but look at the situation he was in. He just had Jeff behind him and he was 3 wide, and then going into that turn, Jeff Gordon puts his nose between 17 and 77. I'd normally say that's Jeff's fault for taking it 4 wide, but it really is just a Dega crash. You can't avoid it when you're being pushed into it into a turn.
