Neil was one of the finest people I've ever known. We still miss him terribly. RIP brother.

restrictor plate was a little large that night on the 8 car.

Great looking car. I always imagined that and the Nilla Wafers car he drove at Charlotte later that year to be 2002 Cup paint schemes his Dad could have driven that year.

I watched this live when I was 7 years old

I remember watching this as a kid, being so blown away. Everytime I sat down to watch a game with Krieg, I was a bundle of nerves, but it was certainly fun. He was a wildcard.

Dalejr and Dale Sr are my favorite NASCAR drivers 😢😊

Cute.

Off to a bad start. Aberdeen, Washington DOES NOT sit on Puget Sound. It's not even close. Do a little fact-checking, eh.

Debris going into the crowd is nuts

He pulled right now and got just enough side draft to ease by! The dude could just out think and out move everybody!

We lost so many drivers in 00/01 move should of died. The Hanns Device should of been enforced well before Adam died. Blaise Alexander JR death after Sr was the last driver we lost before NASCAR enforced the Hanns Device. Blaise Sr almost sued NASCAR if they didn't do something with the safety barrier. Jr was best friends with Jimmie Johnson, what if Blaise didn't die? Would Jimmie be a 7x champ? Would Afam be great like his family was in NASCAR? Rip

If we talk about a driver who should have won a championship, that's Mark Martin.

I used to watch Roy Firestone every day...love it

Dreamy

Neil should have quit driving the next day!! He would still be alive today!!

Ryan preece sucks 👌

Ryan preece sucks 👌

Neil should be in hall of fame.

"I didnt have enough racecar to beat him, but he didnt know that" hahahaha thats why mark martin is my 2nd favorite driver, right behind jbj

Amazing video! Very touching

The Thunder Challenge for this in NASCAR Thunder 2004 was truly hard to beat

Joseph I never thought I would see this SNL short again! In the summer of 1978 I was a bus driver for a visiting team, and we stopped at Grays Harbour for a double header the first night and the second night for a single game. I met most of those players, listened to an old organist mess up my anthem completely ( very funny actually ), sat in the stands for free behind the plate, got approached by several young girls as I was wearing the same ball cap as the team I drove around, and had an all round good time. A few months later as a devoted SNL fan I watched as the "Olympic Stadium" showed on the screen and there was the team messing with Bill Murray. I kinda freaked out. I told other people about it and no one believed me. Now I can't believe that this showed up on my CZcams feed. Thanks so much for it. I'm 68 years old and like John here I had a great laugh too! Two days later we were in Walla Walla. That was not much fun. Score after the first inning 13-2 for the home team. Very quiet bus all the way home......and it was a long drive.

I’ll never forget this night, screaming at the tv when the 24 closed the distance. That rear shot of Rusty’s car with the Du Pont logo bumping his ass out of the way. Good times, much simpler times.

That generation's 2 Gentleman Racers battling for the win. Definitely was one of the most popular races & race finishes of 2002. 😊

Johns sister was HOT!

4:27 RIP Gaylord Perry

Normally I would be all over Gordon, but in this case I don't think he did anything wrong. It seems to me that it was strictly one of those "racing deals". To Dale's amazing talent and credit he never stopped driving that car - even after he flipped. Every other driver would have taken thier hands off the wheel and called it a day after that, but not Dale.

Wow, for those of us who grew up watching the "Original Cast" of Saturday Night Live, finding this and posting it on CZcams was truly a gift to all of us. Thanks for posting and making a 69 year old remember and laugh about great comedy from a long gone era.

Johnny Bensen Classy Guy remember this day like it was yesterday 😊

Them are some sweet football moves, cousins!

Those Pontiac Grand Prixs were cool race cars. Love when the underdog wins. Hope Johnny B can win in SRX.

The best video of this wreck, its crystal clear in sight and audio.

WOW! This was my childhood.

awesome

Love Hearing From Adam How Special His Dad Kyle Is Too Him😊❤

Back when we all loved Teresa. 😂

I'm glad that Dale Jr was there with his dad.

Evil greedy witch, Teresa, put her ugly mug in for some attention. 💩 I never understood what Dale Sr saw in her. she later destroyed DEI and damaged Dale Sr 's legacy.

Dale Sr won more Daytona races than anybody.

Dale Earnhardt Sr, the greatest racecar driver in NASCAR history. Of the three 7 times NASCAR cup series champions, he was the only one that wasn't a cheater.

craven was choking a bit there when he missed his breaking point, the way he was moving his steering wheel, dude was panicking, if that was loganus or kyle busch or whoever modern driver was in his back bumper they would have fat out wrecked him, that was some clean driving by dj

I know they both have their faults but this is why the old points system was cool. These guys would do anything to not DNF! One position in one race could mean a title! Now if they scratch a car, and have a win already, they just put it on the trailer

The last thing you ever wanted to see in the dash mirror was the black number 3 behind ya !

Still miss him till this day 😪

Still not over him being gone! Even more sad is Nascar died with him !

I watch that a lot , and that still gives me tears with Dale Junior and Michael Waltrip… I remember back in the 80s DW and Dale Senior were rivals and Darrell Waltrip calls them Frenemies !!

Michael Waltrip is so damn funny.

Nascar gave extra horsepower to junior...the other guys were racing against a stacked deck

Just think in 4 short years they'd be hauling that POS dead to the pig slop pile

Just another day at the office.
