25 years ago today, Dale Jr won in his return to Daytona and NASCAR peaked

Still gives me chills when the crowd is heard over the engines. It doesn’t get better than this when it comes to NASCAR.

I forget how fun drafting tracks were when you actually had room to move around and make runs.

Greatest sporting event I got to attend live
And yes the crowd sounded like a Saints game during the Brees era in the Dome and you will never hear that at a Nascar race again........just because of the dynamics of 40 different driver fans and being outside in the wide open

That's back when you could make things happen, now it's just a 2x2 single file borefest
That was the baddest Budweiser 8 hat also, I wish someone would recreate that hat or the one from 02 or 03

I remember it and it was a really cool scene.
Of course sportstalk shows that week were full of callers saying it was rigged.

I was there as well. I could feel something otherworldly in the air that night, it is very hard to explain.
I remember telling my girlfriend in the middle of the race “you know who’s gonna win tonight, don’t you?” Seeing Junior making the pass for the lead is in my top 5 sport things I’ve seen live for sure.

Awesome shite. That car was so elite in that era.
I think it was the same car he finished 2nd with in the 500 and I know for sure it also won 3 consecutive Talladega races.

Waltrip said in an interview later that he could have passed Jr but let him win it due to the circumstances.
But who knows

Sr.’s win in 1998 was the peak

Great win but it ended under caution.
