If they could run like this now I'd watch weekly like I used to

Damn what great racing. The 90's and early 2000's was a great time for Nascar.

Ah, back in the day when crash replays started with the words "Ernie Irvin got into....."

@sivvybee 13 years ago

True Gladiators with that concrete wall back then. Bob Jenkins , Ned Jarrett, and Benny Parsons were the best announcers.

BP saying "here comes swervin'" is the best thing in this entire video.

It's wild to see how relatively unprotected the drivers were in the cars back in those days...crazy

Ah that old speed world theme. I remember it from the monster truck challenge episodes back then.

Dale Earnhardt took over the points lead after this race & held on for the rest of the 1991 season

An historic race. 1st race with pit road speed limit. 1st race on radials.
Highly entertaining. Will watch again.

The exit of the road for Larry Pearson at the beginning of the race is tough.
"I never get tired of this old 90s course.

1980-2005ish nascar was at its best.Its crazy i forgot how long it took to dry a track back then compared to now

@Fetterkuss1983 2 years ago

Nothing more iconic than that black 3 screaming off turn 4 at Talladega.

@58fishing76 6 years ago

Yep those were the years. Dont even watch anymore.

@jdtractorman7445 9 years ago

I can see why other drivers hated Ernie Irvan back then. Benny Parsons says about three laps prior to the big wreck, "no Ernie don't try to squeeze in there". Well, he at least waited a few more laps Benny. Miss these days of racing though with Bob, Ned, and Benny in the booth.

Thanks for up'ing this. I was there - Sunday AND Monday. Nearly got washed away when the wind and rains moved in quickly on Sunday. Rained so hard I think the track moved about 6 feet. Returned on Monday, sat on backstretch & The Big One happened near us. Many ran to the fence to see the safety crews carefully remove Kyle Petty with what turned out to be a broken leg.
