First one pin please also I will watch entire thing
2:09 there was no 48 car in that race, though…
Cue xfiles theme
I wonder if NASCAR is either using AI voice synthesis or just having someone go in the studio and record these spotter lines for dramatic effect. I find it hard to believe they have Bobby Labonte’s entire 3-hour radio audio from a random race in 2000, and they sat on it for 20+ years for absolutely no reason, not knowing a platform like YouTube would come along BUT keeping it preserved just in case it ever did. It’s very weird.
It was the #28 car. Ricky had the bad push.
@v2_Makes sense. Just wild they have this audio saved.
This is how Texas should be reconfigured
Texas will probably just be a clone of Atlanta.
When champions were decided on performance through whole year. Now it’s all about the show
Martin Truex Jr proving that it’s still about performance through the whole year. Wish I could go into one NASCAR post without someone whining about the points.
@H0LLOW Pure luck for Martin. Logano getting in someone else’s mess at Bristol and the total clusters at Dega and the Roval saved him. I’ll only be impressed if he points his way into the final 4.
@warrenself Every year since the playoffs were invented, at least one driver gets in on points.
@H0LLOW I actually don’t mind the points system now. The only thing I wish could change is the last heads up race. I don’t know how to fix it but still seems like a gimmick.
@Racer GuyThe only thing I’d change is having Miami be the final race of the season again. I like Phoenix, but the atmosphere there doesn’t fit for a championship race
This was old school racing and this what it should be now
The fact NASCAR has all these radio feeds is badass.
Back when it was boring, watching the champion become champion before the last race even happens
Atleast it was skill not win and lock
Far more legitimate than the S-show we have today.
Light years better than the points system today. Never been a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse fan but to each its own.
You mean back when it was a legitimate racing championship and not manufactured BS in an attempt to get TV ratings?
I’ll take this over the modern system where you can be the best driver through the whole season and then miss out on the championship because of one mistake or getting caught in someone else’s wreck during a playoff race.
Ok Zoomer
It’s cool having Phoenix has the final race, but homestead was just iconic and it was a nice track to end the season at
I’m still not used to Phoenix
@ComradeCanuck I have cause we’ve had it for a few years now but for the older fans I’m sure it’ll take some time to adjust
And Phoenix has yet to produce any exciting finishes in the Cup series. People acting like Ross was going to hail melon again last year was a joke.
@Warren Self Yeah true it doesn’t provide the best racing but I’m not sure what else could replace other than Homestead
@Gooeyburger86 it has had some good races
Ok listen not having a car doesn’t makes you become less man you hear me you are strong
Love this
I miss this aesthetic.
Always was and always will be a Bobby LaBonte fan. Thanks Bobby for all the great memories. If memory serves, you never finished below 26 the entire season that year.
is this fake or do you have a time machine?
I remember watching this. Tony Stewart led 166 of 267 laps to win his second consecutive Homestead event while Bobby Labonte won Gibbs first title. Great day for Gibbs.
“TROUBLE!” jump scare in the commentary booth.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Lol
The Interstates Batteries’ Pontiac was so beautiful… One of the best paint scheme of the 90’s.
I’ll never forget the old Homestead-Miami Speedway, used to be a wide and flat race track before a few years later it became a variable bank two groove circuit of what it is today
