Marlin was simply unbeatable that day. No matter what Earnhardt or anyone else tried, Marlins dominance on the Superspeedways in the mid 90s reminded me of Bill Elliotts incredible run of success in the mid to late 80s at Daytona and Talladega.
I've always been a fan of Sterling Marlin, but the fact of the matter is: nearly all throughout the 90's, the Morgan/McClure team had THE car to beat on the super speedways. They did the same thing with Ernie Irvin including a Daytona 500 win with Irvin in '91. Check out the amazing visit & interview at Larry McClure's racing shop filmed & posted only 2 yrs ago, it's a 3 video series on youtube ch: "Stapleton42". Larry said they had so many little trick things going on in their super speedway cars that literally enabled them to run full-throttle, even through the turns AND on worn tires. Back when I was watching these races live, I used to tell my buddy's: "There's something about that #4 Kodak car on these super speedways". In that 3-video series, Larry stated: "I went on a cruise with Bill France Jr, and Bill asked me: "What are you guys really doing to make your car so fast, it's ok, you can tell me, I won't rat you out"......and Larry replied: "Honest Bill, we ain't cheatin', so there's nothin' to tell ya". Larry also stated that before EVERY super speedway race in the 90's, Bill France Jr would get Larry off to the side and warn him: "Don't you stink up my show"........meaning: Ya better not make it blatantly obvious that you can run away from the rest of the field. They were running tricked out PONTIAC heads on their Chevy engine and an ultra tricked out intake manifold that were both legal. Not to mention the best suspension set-up, best aerodynamics, and tricked out dry-sump oil scavenging system that kept parasitic loss of oil sloshing in the bottom end to a minimum. In addition to their regular oil pump for a dry-sump system, they had a secret 5-stage oil pump that was driven off of the rear differential. The driver would wait till he was up to full speed, then turn on that rear oil pump using a valve that was hidden near the driver. They finally broke an oil line and that's the only reason nascar inspectors caught it. They made them remove it, and wrote a new rule against it. Really smart, innovative stuff all throughout that car.
No matter what year the Daytona 500 is always special every time I think of the great American race I think of Buddy Baker when he said people introduced me as Buddy Baker race car driver but after 1980 I was introduced as Daytona 500 champion
That audio is super high quality, sounds like it was recorded in 2024! Too bad the video looks primitive since for some reason we refused to upgrade our cameras and TVs until the late 2000s
The Morgan/McClure team really did have one of, if not THE car to beat on the super speedways throughout much of the 90's........even when Ernie Irvin was driving it before Marlin. Their super speedway cars were really tricked out. Larry McClure even stated years later that before every super speedway race, Bill France Jr would get him off to the side and say: "Don't you stink up my show".......lol.
make sure the pit crew wouldn't "accidentally knock it up or down to help the car. just like in the past 10 years where the pit crew would grab the sheet metal in front of the rear tires and pull it out to help with downforce.
Rusty Wallace was always the most arrogant person out there! "Everywhere else I win all the races, lead all the laps" Or like the time he spun DW and said something like "I'd like for the wreck not to happen, where we could race it out, with me winning". I bet Jeff Gordon's success really chapped his ass!
The 1995 Daytona 500 was the opening race of the 1995 NASCAR Winston Cup Series in Winston America season that was held at the Daytona International Speedway on February 19, 1995, best known for Sterling Marlin's 2nd consecutive Daytona 500 for Morgan-McClure Motorsports with sponsorship from Kodak by defeating the late Dale Earnhardt of Richard Childress Racing with sponsorship from GM Goodwrench, and the first win for the Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The maiden race of the 15th Year of NASCAR Racing on Philippine Television and the first NASCAR on GMA race of 1995 was jointly produced by Television and Production Exponents, Inc. and SilverStar Communications, Inc. and aired live, nationwide, and via-satellite on GMA Network on February 20, 1995 with a radio simulcast on DZBB 594 Radyo Bisig Bayan and Campus Radio 97.1 WLS FM
Seriously, Brian France clearly didn't give a damn about the sport, and I'd be very shocked if Steve Phelps and Steve O'Donnell's impressions of racing didn't come from The Fast and The Furious.
Bro. CBS was garbage. ESPN coverage with Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarret, Benny Parsons and then Jerry Punch and John Kiernan in the pits was miles better. TNN, TBS, and even Fox with Mike Joy, Darrel Waltrip, and Larry Mac was better than CBS. Come to think of it, the only team worse than CBS with Ken Squier was NBC with Alan Bestwick and Wally Dallenbach. I always felt bad for Benny having to deal with Alan and Wally after spending so many years with Bob and Ned.
Its ridiculous how often Ned has to correct Ken Squier. He called Brett Bodine "Geoff Bodine" at least twice till Ned finally corrected him. He can't read simple race statistics like leaders and lead changes. He said Bobby Labonte spun due to his engine blowing, etc. This par for the course for him. Everyone says Ken Squier is a legend, but he's really the worst NASCAR broadcaster ever.

He was the man, great man, deserves more credit but everyone thinks he hit Dale Sr, he didn’t, Dale came down on him, sad

I watched this in ‘95….still exciting. Thank you for this.

This was the year I started following NASCAR championships. Still consider it the biggest show on Earth.
I miss how sterling marlin dominated super speedways in the mid 90s. He was just unstoppable and was the car to beat
Thank you for this
The CBS review of the previous races was some great editing
The Monte Carlo was a beast!
The Morgan/McClure team really did have one of, if not THE car to beat on the super speedways throughout much of the 90's........even when Ernie Irvin was driving it before Marlin. Their super speedway cars were really tricked out. Larry McClure even stated years later that before every super speedway race, Bill France Jr would get him off to the side and say: "Don't you stink up my show".......lol.
1:06:52 Listen closely as they enter turn 1, you can still hear Sterling's car over Jeff's with how much louder it is LOL.
Thank you. Was looking for this comment
The Race where it’s Birth of the Chevy Monte Carlo and the greatest Car in NASCAR history!
You do realize they raced the Monte Carlo for YEARS before this, right? 🤣
Yeah, no. They raced Monte Carlos in the 70's and 80's.
Monte Carlo the winningest car model of any maker, racing in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s
1995. One of my favourite Daytona 500’s of all time apart from many others.
Ah man... watching this makes me want ACRacing to return to making videos. The CBS theme keeps making me laugh thinking of Andre the Giant 😂
04:28:50 I never paid attention that he measured and checked the fins at the end of the race?
NASCAR use to do this regularly through the early 2000s
make sure the pit crew wouldn't "accidentally knock it up or down to help the car. just like in the past 10 years where the pit crew would grab the sheet metal in front of the rear tires and pull it out to help with downforce.
95 Daytona 500 Debut Pit Road Speed Limit And Return Of Chevrolet Monte Carlo
The pit road speed limit was actually inserted in 1991 following the death of a pit crew member at Atlanta in 1990
@@thelegendchrisb bad day when rudd's brakes failed and he slid into bill elliot's pit crew member.
They dropped the jack and popped the clutch famous last words

This is when Nascar was great. Best coverage was on CBS. This crap they have on is bullshit. They lost a lot of fans over the years.
Seriously, Brian France clearly didn't give a damn about the sport, and I'd be very shocked if Steve Phelps and Steve O'Donnell's impressions of racing didn't come from The Fast and The Furious.
