I was 9 years old. We didn't have satellite tv in our house at the time. I watched this entire race in the sports section of a department store in my town. It was the only time I spent more time in the shop than my mother. This race alone made me fall in love with CART.
@@Saturn185 Andretti tried to trap Montoya and box him in behind Tarso Marques but Montoya picked up Maques slipstream and that's what inched him ahead
That Ben Edwards never got the F1 commentary gig is a travesty! Easily the best commentator of the 2000s. Probably in the top 5 commentators of all time in sports. Instead we had to suffer through James Allen. Considering him and Ted's background, its no surprise that they shafted their way into the spotlight
JPM always challenging the most iconic drivers of each category. He can drive and perform at the highest in everything with wheels. No doubt one of the best drivers in history. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Esto era la Cart! grandes pistas, grandes auntos, grandes pilotos, grandes narradores, finales de infarto, aún lo recuerdo despues de 21 años como si fuera ayer.
The best race that I never have seen. Side by side untill the chekered flag, ¡¡¡FANTASTIC!!!, and the comentators better. Casi me da un ataque cardiaco al ver como Michael Andretti y Juan Montoya se tocaron a más de 300km/h. That was the ORIGINAL IndyCar, esa fue la IndyCar original. I´m going miss this kind of races. Thanks for sharing!!!.
*WOW! Montoya = BEAST!* At first i thought the back-marker 'yellow car' was going to get in the way. But Montoya was actually able to pick up a little bit of tow. *Amazing!*
Michigan was a clue that in the days when the IndyCar ran was full of emotion. How can we forget the duels in the final laps of Scott Pruett x Al Unser Jr. in 1995, Tony Kanaan in his mythical victory in 1999 (thanks to drought Crash Max Papis in the last meters) where by millimeters Montoya won in 2000 this duel Montoya x Andretti in 2003 and already in IRL the duel between Hornish Jr. and Alex Barron. Track that left longing and deserved return to the calendar of the current Indy.
Who are the 7 idiots that dislike this? Would like to see them even try to race a go kart. This is great racing that might be coming back in 2014! With JPM driving an Andretti machine.
H4nnub4l I'll 2nd that ! Ben is such great talent when it comes to calling awesome moments like this ! To be able to stay that excited and keep all of those words coming through crystal clear is not easy !!
Was a fantastic battle,remembering others races like Indy 500, between Emmo and Al Jr,the same Al against Scott Goodyear,Sam Hornish Jr and Marco Andretti. Amazing sensations that only Indy can make us feel. Great.
Fecking damn. I've seen this video some 30 or 40 times already. And it still gives me goosebumps. 200mph+, close walls, wheel banging... Overwhelming...
Not only is it the best finish in Cart/Indy history. Its probaly the best finish in all of motorsports. Basically the whole race these two were swapping the lead every lap (they did the same thing the year before in 99 too). It deserved a great finish. Banging wheels on the final corner at an oval is death defying. Two brave warriors leaving nothing on the table. Pure racing at its best. Special mention to Bed Edwards for this commentary, he was losing his mind and his voice! Paul Page is always great but Bens call here was epic
Quite simply, the greatest race, simply fizzing with brilliance. Enhanced by the commentary, if you want a soundtrack, try More Than a Feeling by Boston.
Juan was not intimidated because Andretti has more wins he just race to win. Awesome race the best I have seen so far. Some people do get intimidated and they fail.
muchas camas/sofas en colombia fueron sacrificadas esa fria manana de sabado... alguien recuerda? el programa en familia? madrugar el sabado para ver a montoya correr? y verlo ganar? y celebrar hasta con los vecinos? pero cuando empezo a no ganar... julio sanches y su maldita w lo humillaron y desacreditaron despues su propio pais le dio la espalda... es triste que montoya no pueda volver a colombia sin ser madreado por cosas injustas y mentiras echas por periodistas y la FIA....
Montoya sigue siendo para los colombianos un heroe, siempre lo será. Los periodistas colombianos eran y siguen siendo de lo peor, por eso juan Pablo Montoya no les volvio a conceder una entrevista.
@@edwinm1095 por eso más o menos me cae bien Diego Mejía, será bien lamebotas, pero era el único que seguía a Juan Pablo dónde fuera. Hasta NASCAR cubrió para Speed Channel cuando estaba corriendo allá.
they are at high speed, if you cant comprehend how dangerous is to "touch wheels" at high speed seriously u cant comprehend this sport at all... plus the amazing part is just the ending when montoya places himself behind the last car to get more speed in the last few meters, thats pretty amazing because if the race doesn't finish there montoya had to be forced to slow down and let michael win
La imagen del "novato" Montoya hechandole el carro encima al campeon schumacher y poniéndose lider de la carrera en las primeras vueltas, esa imagen es inolvidable. verstappen hijo de puta!
El momento mas estresante, mas emotivo que nos puso a todos a comernos ls uñas fue este, las ultimas 7 vueltas de las 500 millas de Michigan. Y ganó por una nariz, una de las finales mas reñidas del automovilismo mundial, tal vez la #1 de todos.
Lo recuerdo como si hubiera sido ayer tenia 16 años y no me perdía una sola carrera de la indycar y está en especifico fue una de las más espectaculares
montoya se la hizo! fue inteligente, se puso detras de el otro carro que no tenia nada que ver en esa pelea y aprovecho su rebufo en el ultimo segundo y por eso consiguio ganar. Gran juan!
Montoya si tenía pelotas!!! Lástima la suerte que tuvo en la F1, pero fácilmente uno de los mejores pilotos que ha existido, podrán decir muchas cosas pero el tipo era bueno. Esperemos que tenga auto para demostrarlo en la próxima temporada de Nascar. GRANDE JUAN!!!
The narrator almost having a cerebral vascular accident... great days of CART
The colombian narrator in colombian TV almost had a hearth attack.
This was probably one of the best indycar finishes ever.
the
De todo el automovilismo!!
That is such an epic finish. The golden days of CART. Thanks for uploading!

Montoya and Andretti both had balls of steel....yet they raced each other cleanly. That was epic....not sure what the backmarker was thinking.
the backmarker was trying to stay on the outside, i mean what else could he do?
The backmarker had nothing to do there... just wait. Montoya was waaaaay to smart/suicidal to take the slipstream of them to take the win.
@@Saturn185 Andretti tried to trap Montoya and box him in behind Tarso Marques but Montoya picked up Maques slipstream and that's what inched him ahead
The commentary was so good that in France, Eurosport used the UK commentary for the highlights
On avait pourtant l'excellent Nicolas Souchon au commentaire en 96/97/98 !
That Ben Edwards never got the F1 commentary gig is a travesty! Easily the best commentator of the 2000s. Probably in the top 5 commentators of all time in sports.

This is years later, but listen to the passion in the Colombian commentary, it's legendary.
This is the real Indycar....
I miss that engine sound....
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A proper IndyCar sound 👍😊
JPM always challenging the most iconic drivers of each category. He can drive and perform at the highest in everything with wheels. No doubt one of the best drivers in history. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
F1 wants JPM Back
Todavía se me eriza la piel al ver este fantástico final Montoya un monstruo
a todos.......q salvajada!!!!
Es el final más espectacular que he visto jamás igual que la narración..!!
Esto era la Cart! grandes pistas, grandes auntos, grandes pilotos, grandes narradores, finales de infarto, aún lo recuerdo despues de 21 años como si fuera ayer.

Exactly, the fockin' backmarker fucked Andretti over.
Un mostró an pasado tantos anos y los pelos se me ponen de punta de solo verlo un grande lo mejor q aya visto en mi vida por siempre Juan Montoya
ese dia grite de la alegria!!! nunca lo olvidare, Montoya sos grande!!!
I remember watching this and even though I'm a huge Andretti fan it was one of the most exciting finishes ever. CART....come back!
By far the best Indy finish race ver.
The man with no fear
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I think I have the whole race on VHS somewhere.Ben Edwards and Jeremy Shaw were a great commentary team.
This was a great time for F1 and Cart.
It's been 8 months. Still waiting for you to find that vhs
I have hundreds of recordings, and not really delved deep into the piles.
MirVids Happy delving, mate :)
Man, I HAVE to thank you for uploaded this.
I was a child when this happened and damn man! How exciting!!
Greetings from Colombia :D
Michigan was a clue that in the days when the IndyCar ran was full of emotion.

What a unespected final!! great win by Juan Pablo Montoya :D
Incredible!!! Great Montoya!
I miss those V8's engines, those cars, those drivers. I MISS CART DAYS :'-(
Who are the 7 idiots that dislike this? Would like to see them even try to race a go kart. This is great racing that might be coming back in 2014! With JPM driving an Andretti machine.
I saw this live when I was 10, I've never seen anything like it ever again
👍🏻👍🏻
JPM got the slip stream of the car in front.
Those were the glory days, saw 45 races there.
Fantastic finish! From 96 to about this time is my favorite era of indycar. Especially the look of the Reynard chassis!
Ben Edwards should be knighted for his services to motorsport
H4nnub4l I'll 2nd that ! Ben is such great talent when it comes to calling awesome moments like this ! To be able to stay that excited and keep all of those words coming through crystal clear is not easy !!
They touch wheels!!
Wow ,breathtaking racing.2 absolute legends there.
that was the most incredible race i had ever seen i was about 4 years old i remember being so upset when Andretti lost he was my favorite
lmao i had like 8 years and was rooting for Montoya, the most epic shit i saw in his career
Was a fantastic battle,remembering others races like Indy 500, between Emmo and Al Jr,the same Al against Scott Goodyear,Sam Hornish Jr and Marco Andretti. Amazing sensations that only Indy can make us feel. Great.
Montoya era un crack, recuerdo haber visto esta carrera en directo. Un grande total...
Fecking damn. I've seen this video some 30 or 40 times already. And it still gives me goosebumps. 200mph+, close walls, wheel banging... Overwhelming...
Totally agree.
I must have the whole race on VHS somewhere.
Ben Edwards' commentary fits the race brilliantly.
This never gets old. Great drivers, great cars and great racing.
These boys earned their bread that day, and so did Ben Edwards!
Looks like he might have picked up some slipstream from the backmarker right at the end... Great racing!
Not only is it the best finish in Cart/Indy history. Its probaly the best finish in all of motorsports.
Basically the whole race these two were swapping the lead every lap (they did the same thing the year before in 99 too).
It deserved a great finish. Banging wheels on the final corner at an oval is death defying. Two brave warriors leaving nothing on the table. Pure racing at its best. Special mention to Bed Edwards for this commentary, he was losing his mind and his voice! Paul Page is always great but Bens call here was epic
Best final ever!!! wow
👍🏻👍🏻
Got to see that race live.Please Bring back CART AND INDY car racing in Michigan. Definitely best I've ever seen !
Que Carrerón!! inolvidable, muchas gracias por el video.
best race battle ever
Montoya was special , heart of a lion and highly highly skilled driver , absolute class !
Quite simply, the greatest race, simply fizzing with brilliance. Enhanced by the commentary, if you want a soundtrack, try More Than a Feeling by Boston.
Juan was not intimidated because Andretti has more wins he just race to win. Awesome race the best I have seen so far. Some people do get intimidated and they fail.
i miss this guy in F1
👍🏻👍🏻
What an amazing race!!!
Epic man...just epic.
Two legends who live on forever in the world of motorsports 🔥
Montoya was very competive in F1.
Tocando Ruedas a Casi 400 KM/H!!!!!
Grande Montoyeah!
I was 14 years old and still remember this race like it was yesterday
Las mejor época del automovilismo Colombiano y tuve la fortuna de verla en vivo. Gracias JPM
What an awesome piece of racing. Hell yeah!
es verdad compa, estas epocas no volverán jamas, se me salia el corazón ver a juampa corriendo en esas epocas
The announcer is just as incredible as the finish. Love it!
Freeze frame at 3:25
Montoya is a BEAST
mi papá desvarató la cama celebrando esa victoria tan tremenda
regresa a la F1 Juan Pablo
DESDE Colombia... TODOS los días veo este video y me hace sentir lo mismo como si lo estuviera viendo en directo... JP... Grande... siempre...
Definition of Motorsport!

Así es pero para mí es uno de los mejores deportistas de Colombia y de los mejores pilotos del mundo.
Creo que las carreras de la CART eran los domingos.
👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, that was some great racing :) thanks for the video!
How good was that! I miss having the Indycars racing at Michigan. Try and find racing like that in F1 or Nascar. Great stuff from 2 great drivers!
Iconic Ben Edwards commentary
Gracias Tarso Marques!!
This is...Fast And furious real.
Sends shivers down the spine. This was racing perfection.
Now of all the drivers in the world in their primes...Montoya is who id hire.
Good ol days that will never return.
Imagine how many wins he would have if he didnt go to F1
It’s actually insane how this video was uploaded… on my actual birthday. So if I turn a year older, so does this video 🎉
they are at high speed, if you cant comprehend how dangerous is to "touch wheels" at high speed seriously u cant comprehend this sport at all... plus the amazing part is just the ending when montoya places himself behind the last car to get more speed in the last few meters, thats pretty amazing because if the race doesn't finish there montoya had to be forced to slow down and let michael win
se me erizó la piel, como la primera vez que lo vi, en directo... tiempos aquellos ;(
Esa y la pasada que le hace a Schumacher en Interlagos en 2001 son imágenes memorables del deporte colombiano. Un saludo!
La imagen del "novato" Montoya hechandole el carro encima al campeon schumacher y poniéndose lider de la carrera en las primeras vueltas, esa imagen es inolvidable.
verstappen hijo de puta!
This is the best racing I've ever seen
Not a fan of american ovals without shifting, braking etc but this is probably the best finish of all time
I was at that race sitting at start finish line. Unreal racing and unreal cars!!
Respect for each other.
Haha - still watching this video 3 years later...
El momento mas estresante, mas emotivo que nos puso a todos a comernos ls uñas fue este, las ultimas 7 vueltas de las 500 millas de Michigan. Y ganó por una nariz, una de las finales mas reñidas del automovilismo mundial, tal vez la #1 de todos.
Lo recuerdo como si hubiera sido ayer tenia 16 años y no me perdía una sola carrera de la indycar y está en especifico fue una de las más espectaculares
some damn good racing and what a finish. good job JPM! the commentator was as excited as i was for a min there ...
Its nice when commentators a show this much excitement
Lo mejor de este planeta. Y esta final fue infartante. 18 años despues recuerdo como si fuese ayer. Saludos a todos
ben edwards and jeremy shaw...the greatest commentary pairing that ever lived! no arguement!
toby moody and julian ryder a very clsoe second.....
JPM caught a last second draft in the last turn, for the win...wow!
I remember JPM during the post race interview saying that he was ready to run over Tarso Marques if necessary…
montoya se la hizo! fue inteligente, se puso detras de el otro carro que no tenia nada que ver en esa pelea y aprovecho su rebufo en el ultimo segundo y por eso consiguio ganar.
Gran juan!
I am literally in tears... that's what racing is all about...
That was an amazing race.
Great clean race for the lead and win. Epic finish.
Still crazy speeds! 400-410 kph!
@qb Gromit , Paul tracy reached 401 k/H in Fontana California super speedway, officialy registered
Juan Pablo Montoya for ever.This guy not only won on Indi.He also won many races in formula one with Williams.
Fucking legendary, man.
la mejor carrera de todos ...
que chimba !!
GREAT commentary at the last !! ! :D !
Montoya si tenía pelotas!!! Lástima la suerte que tuvo en la F1, pero fácilmente uno de los mejores pilotos que ha existido, podrán decir muchas cosas pero el tipo era bueno. Esperemos que tenga auto para demostrarlo en la próxima temporada de Nascar. GRANDE JUAN!!!
