1:28:54 The big one. Happened when 2 cars spun out and behind them. Mike Dillon blew a tire and spun in front of the other pack. Collecting 22 cars in the process
The race that got me into NASCAR full time, it wasn't a cup race it was this race, and also proved why Talladega is my favorite track, A photo finish, and of course a 23 car huge pile up and yes ABC did say it was 21 in it, But I did see one more car spinning, and it was Tony Roper, he and Glenn Allen were both in the accident as well. the 23 car crash in this race tied at the time the largest NASCAR now Xfinity Series formally Busch Series biggest crash in there series history 23. Of course it was shattered 3 years later when 32 cars were apart of the Big one in 2002.
i was there that weekend (it was my 9th birthday, dad drove me all the way from dallas to there) and i can remember alot of talk about how alot of the pontiac drivers were changing to chevy's, and all the fords were switching either to the old thunderbird model, or to chevy for that weekend (teams did not get alot of manufacturer support back then, so it wasnt that big of a deal to switch around from time to time)
Texas had tied for the 2nd closest finish in xfinity series history guess which race also had equaled the 2nd closest finish in that series history this one.
hahaha @ BP "We can't go on air yet I hadn't finished my lunch"
Classic BP. We'd be so better off had he survived past 2007
Talladega was always fun at the track. The sound of that gen of cars was awsome to behold. Thanks for all these old races.

This was the wildest photo finish since Tim Richmond beat Rudd and Bodine at Pocono in 1986.
That #75 Llumar Windows driven by Kelly Denton. Never knew they sponsored the #75! Very cool!! That #75 I'm assuming is Henderson Motorsports correct?

JP: "Three, four, five cars"
Me: Huh? What's he talking about, I only see two car--OH CRAP!

Talladega is only track in Nascar I don’t like. Always bores me. I don’t get it I guess.
Exciting engine sound , pre 2000 , and less intense commentary..........Big plus for me
Lot of respect for Joe not to run Terry up the track
But that's racing. That what makes nascar. Terry would've handled it and probably still won.
Dang I miss BP and Dr. Punch in the booth
1:28:54 A 2 car wreck turns into a 22 car Big One.
A more accurate count is 28, but due to it not being officially stated, NASCAR lists it at 22 cars involved.
@@wolfywise You actually counted that many cars?
@@HowardSalwasser yes.
A one car wreck, the cars are separated, then becomes a two car wreck, then becomes a 20-car wreck anyway.
My heart breaks at 1:14:56 😢
😭😭😭
Yes Kyle, every single car that topped off was taken out in the wreck
Bro Kenny might be the best racer with the worst luck ever.
Should have just called this the NASCAR Chevy Series. Seems thats all there was in this Field at the time. 42 of the cars were GM makes.

Should’ve red flagged the race for The Huge One.

Did they hold kelly denton for a penalty because nascar thought he did that on purpose?
FORD TORTOISE
Kenseth was driving for roush by this time I thought? In A chevy?
Almost everybody was running chevies in Busch that year. Even some of Roush's teams.
