What are some more stories about NASCAR people seem to forget?
The end of Broadcast tv show for Speed channel
NASCAR went to Australia once
Richie Evens is NASCAR's only posthumous champion, having died after locking-up the 1985 Modified Championship with one race left.
NASCAR having a cup race held before the Daytona 500 back in the day up until like late 1980s or something
Timmy Hill technically has a win. (2020 IRacing Texas)
So many people forget rusty wallace going 240 in an unrestricted car at Talladega in 2004.
I wish there was footage of this. I’ve searched many times and came up empty handed every time
If nascar made the catch fence stronger, taller, and a fence behind the fence, and there was safer barriers on the safer barriers, it would be safe to do 240
Matt Crafton last won in 2020 and won the championship with 0 wins the year before
2019 actually
@@aldouscoroza He's saying his last career win was in 2020
@@acedelta12 Damn I read that wrong earlier my Bad
@@Corndogger61 99 race winless streak currently and counting
One that is being overlooked is that Chase Elliott could beat Jeff Gordon's 2007 record of 33 top twenties. As of the Bristol race Chase Elliott has 27 top twenties.
27 you mean. If he only had 25 he would only be able to get 32 total this year, but so far he's at 27
@@TekuTaurus I forgot how to do math for a minute.
Oddly enough, Bill Elliott was the only driver in the modern era who finished every race in the top twenty in 1988, albeit in 29 races. Counting the pre-modern era, Lee Petty in 1953 and Ned Jarrett in 1965 also accomplished this.
Gordon could've gotten 36 top 10s and 36 top 20s
Fun Fact: David Gilliland’s 2006 Busch Series win was the only Non-Buschwhacker win of the 2006 NASCAR Busch Series season.
You forgot Paul Menard's Milwaukee win, huh? 😉
@@doomusrlc I guess I did, Paul Menard was in cup part time with DEI, Gilliland was promoted to cup mid season to replace Elliott Sadler in the #38, But still.
And he wasn’t even a Busch series regular that year and NOT even driving with a Busch series affiliate organization that night. Pretty Wild!!
HOW THE FUCK
I was there for that. It was absolutely insane. We were like “who’s in the lead again?!?”
Terry Cook won Thorsport Racing's first ever win, in the 88 Truck on 8/8. (1998 in Flemington).
To be fair, Gilliland’s win was in 2006 and Kevin Harvick won the 2006 Busch Series title by 824 points. Not a lot want to remember that year for the Busch Series.
Dover spring race for both Busch and Nextel Cup were really good.
What makes Gilliland's win even more special. Tyler Ankrum won his first (and only) truck series race, AT KENTUCKY, racing for David Gilliland Racing. (Now TRICON).
I support "The Rent is Too Damn High" party. ✊🏾✌🏾
You should mention the 2013 Coke 600 fiasco with the camera wires if you do a follow-up. That'll be an interesting one to talk about.
Similar to David Gilliland's sole win, Boris Said won a race at Montreal in 2010, no one saw that coming and a lotta road course racers had motives for winning the race, from revenge to constant disappointment to being the home town hero to even a Cuo regular trying to continue his dominance at Montreal, and Said was barely mentioned. At the end he won in a photo finish, it was one of only two wins he ever had. Even Bestwick said this win was long overdue because he knew he had it in him. I'd love for the newer fans to hear this story. Also there was a race in Xfinity that ran the restrictor plate at Michigan in 2018, before they were gonna use it this year.
It's a shame just how rough Boris had it in the Nascar series. Between him and Max Papis they had a fun energy that I loved to see.
NASCAR Used to hold a race at riverside international raceway before the Daytona 500 for a handful of seasons
I think the two Riverside races bookended the season for about a decade.
That Riverside race also used to be 500 miles. Not 500 kilometers, a 500-mile road course race in NASCAR. Same with the other Riverside race being 400 miles.
1963-1981 to be precise.
And the site of the track is now the Moreno Valley mall, southeast of the 15/60 interchange. The local Ford dealer there in Riverside is called Raceway Ford
Earnhardt winning 10 Daytona 500 qualifiers in a row.
I like learning about some of the more unusual cars that were entered. Like how Jaguar has a single Nascar win. Or how people have entered everything from Austin Mini's to Tucker 48s back in the early years. They even had special races where European cars could go head to head with cup cars.
Darrell Waltrip winning 4 races in a row from the pole in 1981.
Tony Stewart never crossed the finish line first in his Cup series career at Talladega
Yes, that win was awarded to him due to Regan Smith getting judged for going below the yellow line. It was a gift.
Yup I remember that in 2008!
@@evanwilliams6406 Justice for Regan!
@@evanwilliams6406 As a Tony Stewart fan Regan Smith has 2 career wins and Tony Stewart has 48. Even watching it live as a 6 year old, I didn't think it was Tony winning
NASCAR sould've disable the Double Yellow Line with 10 to go at Superspeedways. That way Smith would've won one of his only two wins,the other being Darlington in 2011. It would've been a great farewell to DEI too.

That completely lost me lmfaooo 💀💀💀
David Gilliland's Kentucky Win will forever be One of The Best David Vs Goliath Victories in NASCAR History
Iceberg do u think Kyle Busch will ever win more than 3 races in a season again
He has the ability, just needs the right team behind him
@@TheIceberg Yeah Austin Dillon does tend to be behind him
I expect him to leave RCR eventually. He’s still got the talent but in the last 2 years all the late 2000’s gen drivers are starting to show the age exception being hamlin who I hope continues to biff and miss the final 4.
I think Truex just wants the season over with so he can go hunting and fishing in peace already 😂
@@jwrailve3615but where would he go
In the words of Phil Parsons in 2006 when he called David Gilliland's win at Kentucky, David has truly beat the Goliath. Then the commentator botch "DAVID (Studder) GILLILAND, Wins at Kentucky!!"
"DAVID REUT.. GILLILAND"
The story of Bill Elliott amazing comeback at Talladega at the 1985 Winston 500 😊
One NASCAR story that people may not know about is that Danny Sullivan who won the 1985 Indy 500 entered a few Cup Series races in 1993 & 1994 including the first Brickyard 400 (which was the only race he qualified for where he finished 33rd). If you include his time in F1 during the 1983 season he is also one of a handful of drivers (with Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney, Jacque Villeneuve & Juan Pablo Montoya being the others) to have competed in NASCAR, F1 & Indycar during their careers. Another fact that people may not know about is that one thing that Detroit, Miami, Dallas, LA, Austin, Vegas & Mexico City all have in common is that these cities have all hosted a NASCAR Cup Series, F1 & an Indycar race.
3:42 I don't know if it's just me, but was Phil Parsons about to say "Reutimann" instead of "Gilliland" at the race finish? Watching the checkered flag moment previously, he just uttered from the top of his lungs, "DAVID...RUGGHHH...GILLILAND! Wins in Kentucky."
EDIT: Okay, it's not just only I who observed that, reading the comment section further. That commentator gaffe will surely live on forever. I just wonder what's the reaction of David GILLILAND with that call, though. 😅
Restrictor plates at Texas would’ve been awful. Did they really want another 2000 New Hampshire?
"DAVID RE- ...... GILLILAND!!!"
What?
I think many people forget how the DC Solar situation almost ended Chastains career
how many times has there been an alarm during a nascar event? only thing im thinking of was 2021 new hampshire during Kyle Busch interview.
Lots of people forget that the Daytona 500 wasn't always the season opener.
Wheres the small pit road at sears point
"...more different than anything in America or around it" - That's a VERY American way to say, "in the world" 😂
There was this one time in 2001 NASCAR sued the Speedway to get down the safer barriers after the Indy 500. Oh, and they lost.... Ford's 32 wins was crazy to think, because Chevy had so many more championships by the late 90's. Like, they practically owned the Cup in the 80's and 90's.
From December of '63 to August of '71, the only GM car to win at all was Bobby Allison's Chevelle, which won seven times from '66-'68.
Sweet video.
Tv ratings definitely don’t reflect the quality of that race. It’s not like people are going to hear about this amazing race that’s happening and tune in while it’s going on.
NASCAR was at its height in popularity in 2006 and has been downhill since...to me 2010 felt like the last year NASCAR was truly massively popular, that's the last year I remember seeing NASCAR merch in Walmart and Meijer that wasn't diecast.
The fun little factoid that I always remember is that for the 2001 season, the Nascar Cup cars were the slowest of all the series around the plate tracks.
Even the Arca series was putting down a faster pole lap and the Busch cars were nearly turning 190 average; faster than anything else.
I think pole speed for the 500 was 183 MPH due to the high drag package with the wicker on the roof and the spoiler on top of the spoiler
Yup that’s the same way today, this next gen car is the slowest of the top 3 series even arca today
Ok, Kasey Kahne had promised himself or a friend, don't remember what but he promised that if he isn't in cup by 05 he'd stick to dirt,
Wow never heard that one.
@@PaperBanjo64 yeah I heard it in a thing speed did in like 07 I wanna say? It's on UA-cam
David Gilliland's Kentucky win was like winning in an underfunded car in NASCAR Thunder with some crazy good car setup.
Interesting video
When Richard Petty did WHAT
Like this if youre going to the championship!
That alarm in #2 is the exact same tone at my campus dorm XD
Hello
Bring Kentucky back because it can create first time winners, experts talk about the difficulty of this intermediate track.
Bring back the Kentucky Speedway!
If Kentucky was on the schedule earlier in 2001,Jeff Gordon would've won the first race at Kentucky. But the track may never come back.
Wait... Petty killed a kid?
His car flew into the stands. Not the first time that happened in an auto race, or the last.
In 1964, the season ran a ridiculous 62 races.
And yet ran fewer miles than any season in the 2000's.
@seannolan9857 probably because of the sheer number of races. Some were probably doubles cuz i remember riverside once having 3 dates in a year. Must have been brutal!
@@ParadiseCity1329 Has more to do with average race length. Until NASCAR started shortening races in 2011, the average race length was slightly over 400 miles. Therefore seasons were well over 14000 miles in total length. In '64, the average race length was 183 miles, so even with the absurd number of events, the season was 11372 miles in total.
There were three races at Savannah and if you count the Daytona qualifiers we technically ran four races there, though obviously no driver ran more than three of them.
Gray Gauldung beat Harvick in a go cart race when he was a kid. 20 something years later… Gray Gaulding has been arrested
