This is the best Daytona 500 after 1998 and it not even close. This was a throwback to the golden days of Nascar in the 90's. The race even ended with the same Flags his dad won with the Yellow and Checkers. Wow. The sound of the cars also just majestic!
That I did watch this about near 12am. I was should go to bed for school. Whatever. I was jump for full two laps. LOL. I happy to see him win for his father!
Might be one of the last years where crowds were still big. Though I notice crowds are getting decent size again now. Partly due to lowering capacity, but people are still watching in-person except at tracks like Indy.
No one was better at leading a plate race. He would work both lines to stall the runs perfectly. Idk why more guys don’t do it. Just not as good as the ol’ Earnhardt boys!!

It's a classic, it wasn't a snooze fest like the year before.
@@RJBandsma68The whole season was pretty dramatic. All 4 of Jr.’s win were fairly dramatic.
The celebration is everything
Never gets old!!
Talk about a stacked Top 10…yes even Stenthouse
Just 10 years later and he finally won his second one and it's surprisingly even of 10
Especially when he was 2nd in 3 of the last 4 500s before this.

"Oh, we got a wreck."
“Third generation star Dale Earnhardt Junior, brings them to the flag”
"Checkered flag waving it's over, It's Earnhardt!
Radio: “Hell yeah! Wooooo!!!”
"Good job Junebug!"
Michael Waltrip is an underrated analyst/color commentator, especially at Daytona considering how successful he was at Daytona even before 2001
This one is Darrell

flash back sr won his only 500 under a yellow on the last lap
And Both a Penske and a Gibbs was there at the end lol not the same numbers but same teams
And not same running order
@@DixytheGoat9Didn’t Brad finish 3rd?
@@ethanweeter2732 No it was Gordon
These were some of the highest non-COT speeds. The top lap speed for this race was Austin Dillon at over 206 mph I believe.
Still a classic finish
Thanks 🙏

You have to have a good car to do it. Joey is good at it too.
Earnhardt Jr wins 2 daytona 500s for 2 racing teams
Busch is always driving backwards
Anyone else think that DW is so annoying to listen to ?
I miss daytime Daytona 500 😢
