Robby Gordon spinning coming onto pit road and doing a little burnout to get going has been etched into my mind for almost 20 years, It happened in right in front of us in the Pearson Tower. I was 10 years old and it was so loud and cool. Never saw the broadcast until now and it's exactly how I remembered.
Thank you for uploading this! I would absolutely pay for a monthly service to be able to watch any old Nascar race in the broadcast quality 😄👍🏻 I think it would be amazing!
Especially in this Gen 4 car. I feel like this car generated the best racing. No tapered spacer, no carbon fiber body, still had an H pattern gearbox, and certainly no compound needed on the tracks to create multiple grooves.
I remember I was 11 and at the beach that weekend and literally sat up in my room the whole day to watch this race. That's how dedicated I was as a fan back then. Still am but NASCAR has changed alot
Someone tell NBC they did a really good job calling this race. They need to watch the tape for current broadcasts 1. They did way more through the fields 2. They show more screen time to cars throughout the field 3. More driver stories about their lives and off track stuff 4. Good telemetry
Thank you for uploading this race nascar! I am based in Australia I grew up watching nascar here I can clearly remember taking a day off school to watch this race. I love the quality of this stream 720p60 goodness at it's best! Thank you again NASCAR for all the awesome content that you have uploaded recently. Looking forward to the race this weekend!
@@Afullerton95 he's not entirely incorrect. The racing of yesteryear was far more exciting. Now, the cars are so aero sensitive nobody can get close without NASCAR having to artificially close the field up. This 2003 race is a million times more Authentic than any race this 2021 season can produce.
20 years ago today. I still wished this was Terry’s last full season since his 2004 performance was really bad. But then again, it would’ve caused a butterfly effect on Kyle Busch’s career.
This meant SO much to me. I was 13 yrs old at the time, and had been a fan since i was 5 yrs old (1995), so for him not to win from the time i was 9 until 13 felt like FOREVER. It really made my world for a solid few weeks if not months after that, i was on cloud nine. Still brings a tear to my eyes remembering all of this and how life was back then. Man. What a day. Will never forget
Terry Labonte got his first Cup win at Darlington in 1980 and he scores his last win at Darlington in 2003, what a way to bookend a good career. Terry never won a ton of races, but he was very consistent and knew how to keep the car out of trouble.
Terry was my dad and I's favorite driver. He and my dad were born just days apart in Corpus Christi, TX. Watching this race brings back great memories for me as a kid. Was very lucky and dad took us to dozens of races in our motorhome. He would bribe staff at the track and got us to meet most of the drivers and get autographs. Sometimes I forget how much he did for me as a kid.

Nascar really shot themselves in the foot after this season taking away the spring Darlington date and also moving the fall race off of Labor Day weekend - all in the name of “progress” and “growth.” And we all know how that worked out.
This was a great race. NASCAR moving this race was what truly began the decline IMO. I understand changing venues and scheduling to meet current needs/demand, but they never should’ve altered the Labor Day Southern 500.
Little did we know that 6 and 7 years later jimmy Spencer’s crew chief tommy Baldwin and ward burtons crew chief frank stoddard would become owners in the cup series
Watched that race again a few months ago. Big Earnhardt fan, was hoping he could catch Bobby. Not that day. That sealed up the title almost. Def a great race
If you just type that into search it'll pop. It'll be in the quality like back then but it's there. I've watched every single race since 2000. Just Google the year's schedule and search for race on UA-cam!
No one in the field races today. I mean yeah it just turned 2025 so it’s been over 20yrs. I definitely miss this class of drivers though. Lots of different personalities unlike today’s cookie cutter drivers.
Dangit, NASCAR. Why you always gotta spoil the winner in the thumbnail? I knew who won the race beforehand, but there are plenty of newcomers that may see the winner in the thumbnail and be deterred from watching.
@@XG-OFFICIAL-59 Well, yes. You're probably right. But they also mention in the description that Terry Labonte won, and by the time driver intros have begun and they see the #5 as Labonte, it may drive them away.

I was at this race. Luckily i was a Terry Labonte fan.
That was my 11th birthday really special
I wish I was around to see it but always gotta love Texas T, can never go wrong with a fellow Texan
I’m pretty sure *everyone* was a Terry Labonte fan that day.

💯 monster jam recently started this been a huge success

One of the best all time races in NASCAR
That kill switching of the motor for Newman is emblematic of his season. 8 wins but too many mistakes to be championship eligible.
Someone tell NBC they did a really good job calling this race. They need to watch the tape for current broadcasts
1. They did way more through the fields
2. They show more screen time to cars throughout the field
3. More driver stories about their lives and off track stuff
4. Good telemetry
The reason why the ratings and Nascar popularity was up then instead of now. Announcers then made it better.
I’m so glad this is the race you guys put up. A true classic.

I'm excited to see Texas Terry Labonte Win this race.
His last. I cried as a kid cuz it was way too long since his last 1. Lets go Texas Terry!
Why do all you people call him Texas Terry Labonte? What does that even mean?
@@tylerwheeler8595 They call him Texas Terry Labonte because he won a race at Texas.
@@lilanthony21O_ was it the 1999 Primestar 500?
@@tylerwheeler8595 Yes.
Even though I've never seen NASCAR that much I am going to watch it
Mkfan 77 racing same here lmao
It's not really this exciting anymore, today the wildest moment of the race is the burnout someone does after they win.
@@HelloKindWorld 😂 dumbest shit I've read

Kyle Larson with 5 Cars win at Southern 500 Darlington
This meant SO much to me. I was 13 yrs old at the time, and had been a fan since i was 5 yrs old (1995), so for him not to win from the time i was 9 until 13 felt like FOREVER. It really made my world for a solid few weeks if not months after that, i was on cloud nine. Still brings a tear to my eyes remembering all of this and how life was back then. Man. What a day. Will never forget
I was fan of his from 1 years old to 12 years old loved it on that day was my 11th birthday
The last year of NASCAR's absolute greatness. So good to watch
Watching this is like going back in time. This is great stuff! Thanks for the upload.
That Newman pitstop was brutal.
“I hit the kill switch” makes it so much more brutal
Thank you NASCAR! Watching an old race is a great way to spend a day
After Terry won this race, his next Top5 finish, which turned out to be his last one, was a 3rd at Sonoma in 2006.
I was at that race in Sonoma, probably the best NASCAR race I saw there
Terry Labonte’s last win

Yes it is his last win
@@evanwilliams6406 even more coincidence: Terry Labonte first start was also a Southern 500!

Wow this looks like an early HD race from 2003. Very good quality!

Terry deserves that win! I am sure Bobby labonte is proud of terry labonte!
Great race. Fantastic seeing Terry win it. Thanks for showing the race again.
God I miss those gen 4 cars, they really provided great racing.
In my opinion, they were the best
Thanks NASCAR for the upload.
My Favorite driver ever!! Terry Labonte!!
Terry nailed this one
Love these gen 4 cars. Love the way they sound.

ah a great moment for the Iceman nice to see him finally get a win with tony the tiger riding along
In before someone says when racing was racing
I was at this race it was the first race I ever went too and terry was my favorite driver
This was a great race. NASCAR moving this race was what truly began the decline IMO. I understand changing venues and scheduling to meet current needs/demand, but they never should’ve altered the Labor Day Southern 500.
Thank's NASCAR
The last time Darlington ever have a second race there, good times
They get two races in 2021
That starting line up is legendary! Back when nascar was awesome
The only bad part about this race was Jeff Gordon’s day. Other than that, it was cool for Terry Labonte to have won this race!
I realize I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Morgan Andre Flixportal xD
@Skyler Ruben thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it!!
@Morgan Andre Happy to help xD
Terry Labonte was my fave as a kid
This would be the last race I watched for years
@Shawn Freeman people who were kids in 2003 are boomers now I guess
Little did we know that 6 and 7 years later jimmy Spencer’s crew chief tommy Baldwin and ward burtons crew chief frank stoddard would become owners in the cup series
I would've hated being a crew member for Newman pushing that car in that heat in those black suits
And for no reason lol
Can you upload the 2000 UAW GM Quality 500? That’s one of the best NASCAR races of all time and nobody ever talks about it.
Watched that race again a few months ago. Big Earnhardt fan, was hoping he could catch Bobby. Not that day. That sealed up the title almost. Def a great race

Great Memories
There would have been 5 cautions the last 40 laps today lol so glad they didn't cuz I'm a huge texas terry fan
Michel Waltrip Is Wholesome To Hear
Recently moved to South Carolina. Hope I can make it to a race at Darlington next year.
One of his biggest wins
I can't help it. I laughed my ass off when we found Ryan had hit the kill switch
Poor Michael Waltrip was fifth in points prior to last week's race at Bristol. His downward spiral continues and I felt so bad for him!
Great thanks! : D
This is some good ass quality
Imagine beating the best of the best at the toughest track with wins 23 years apart.
Ah yes, the 55th anniversary of NASCAR cup series.
I need 2003 full race more
hope terry took his pit crew out to dinner after this race, they were flawless!
Ebautiful race
If not for that clutch problem. Biffle had it.
No one in the field races today. I mean yeah it just turned 2025 so it’s been over 20yrs.
I definitely miss this class of drivers though. Lots of different personalities unlike today’s cookie cutter drivers.
Ryan Newman to the 48
If the playoffs was started in 2003. Jimmie Johnson would be the last Winston Cup Series Champion not Matt Kenseth.

Hi Aiden Diaz

A lot of people don't know that the driver in the thumbnail is the winner, but I do get your point
@@XG-OFFICIAL-59 Well, yes. You're probably right. But they also mention in the description that Terry Labonte won, and by the time driver intros have begun and they see the #5 as Labonte, it may drive them away.
