@32:32 I loved the way ol BP called replays. He really put you in the race with his broadcasting and was so jolly cool and personable with the fans on and off the race track. I really miss him. And a wild impact and flip for Steve Park O_o!!
@Thomas Roberts . . . your description of Parsons was well put! For me, it's hard to imagine a person of his temperament to have been a competitive NASCAR Cup racer; as one could assume a certain amount of disposition intensity there is to achieve that level of success; which is something that can carry over into retirement. But, now that I think about that, Richard Petty has always come across as very personable, too.
@@bloqk16 funny you mention Richard Petty and Benny Parsons in the same breath. For if not for Benny Parsons winning the 1973 Cup title Richard Petty would have probably won 5 straight titles. Two gentlemen of the sport at the highest level right there in that era.
@@bloqk16 and Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough Cecil Gordon and James Hylton all who finished in the top 5 in points that year did indeed run every race. So Benny outright beat them despite Pettys 6 wins Cales 4 wins and Gordon's and Hlytons consistency.
if mark would have ever used his bumper he would have alot more victories, but that's not who he was he was a pure racer and if he couldn't beat you clean he wouldnt take you out
Nadeau always had some pretty good luck in qualifying at Sears Point in particular. The year prior, he started on the outside pole alongside late ‘90s-early 2000s road course king Jeff Gordon, and briefly overtook the lead coming up the hill before overshooting the entrance to the top of turn two and going off into the dirt. He would crash out about 15 laps later and finish in 43rd that day, but would nearly win in 2002 as a substitute driver for Petty Enterprises, but lost the rear end gear with about two laps to go and allowed Ricky Rudd to slip by for the final victory of his career.

Another happy landing

1999 was a great season
This would be the final time that the Unocal 76 bonus $ was claimed. The program was retired after the 1999 season
That 18 of Labonte sure looks great
Bobby Labonte never really made bone head moves, but that one on Nemechek was one!
2:10:13 For a forgotten violent crash
Not that violent. Ricky had worse crashes then that
@@JJA1987 Not on Ricky's part; did you see Ward fly up in the air after impacting the tire barrier?
It was shown on Sports Tonight in Australia at least.
Earnhardt got spun and still finished in the Top 10.
Tbf he had 60 laps to get that back
1:47:30
31:42 34:41 39:56
What the how did jerry nadeau started 3rd
He won the pole here the year prior
