@@dtexas2964 Racing in any open wheel series, particularly in the '90s, was a dangerous proposition. Hell, major changes in safety design didn't start occurring until the mid 2010s with the HALO in Formula 1 and the Aeroscreen in IndyCar. Same could be said for stock cars with the HANS devices and stricter seat designs before Earnhardt's death.

One of the greatest races of all time.

I was at the track that day... it was my first open wheel race I attended in person. I come back here to relive it now and then and to show people how awesome and insane the racing was in those years in CART.

Those cars were beautiful!

I attended the 2001 CART race at Michigan. It was unbelievable... 60 lead changes! This track, designed by the same engineer who designed Daytona (Charles Moneypenny) is MADE for speed and side-by-side competition.

@@RandysRacingPlace633 Meh, I disagree. Fuck the IRL. I just re-watched the Chicagoland 2002 finish and it was relatively boring. A close finish doesn't equate to an interesting one. The amount of lead changes between Andretti and Montoya is what makes this one of the best. Chicagoland 2002 was a close finish, but the cars were dead even for 5 laps without a change in position.

JPM is the man

The sounds of these cars makes me rock hard. God damn I miss this.

Indycar needs Michigan and Chicagoland back ASAP

@TheZadak the current indycars are normally aspirated and make around 630 hp with a maximum rpm of 10,500 rpm. the amazing turbocharged champ cars in this video were running at 16,000 rpm and making around 900 hp depending on the amount of boost they were allowed at each track. in 2003 (i think, it may have been 2004) champ car switched over to cosworth engines that were limited to 12,000 rpm, and made around 750 hp depending on the allowed amount of boost.

No wonder that Montoya was so bloody quick in F1. Jesus, CART drivers are brave boys.

I'd love to see open wheel racing coming back to MIS. I went to to IRL races there, and each one was far better than any stock car race. Now, they race downtown, still a good race, but nothing like draft packs at MIS.

Awesome finish with Marques directly in the path.Do you crash into the back of him while beating the other guy? Montoya said he would have had he needed to.It was impossible to tell who had won from further down the track where we were sitting.

JUST FANTASTIC!!! montoya en la cary era sencillamente fabulosos. sorprendentemente espectacular. lo mejor de lo mejor. VIVA JP MONTOYA!!!

I went yr little al and bobby rahal battled and is or was the fastest race speed in history. I loved the wide sidewalk along the fence and the cars going by you right below!! - at least at that time it was that way. That was one all out speed and racing 2 mile track - loved it!

So glad to see JPM back in IndyCars *WHERE HE FUCKING BELONGS.* Too bad the car he drives now is a fucking dog compared to the one he drove here.

Paul Page is a great commentator. The IRL would do well to get him back in the booth! Great vid BTW!

I wish the brought Cart back, it was so good, cool, hot, sexy, gorgeous, etc, etc, etc

ଳଳଳ ଚଚଚ thanks Tony George and CART fiasco 4 years earlier and the flying tire accident a couple of years earlier that killed a fan.

@TheZadak Quicker on a road course, but the Champ Cars of that era were beasts in horsepower and aero. This is the era where the closed course speed record was broken. F1 cars are not "so much faster than these cars"

I've got the 2001 race uploaded in it's entirety. I thought the final 500 mile race at Michigan was pretty special.

@Grayqboufan thank you!

This was intense!!

ABC7?! I think this came from my original VHS tape!

Bollocks. Montoya just got bored of being out of the spotlight, and went where he felt wanted. He was a great F1 driver, just unfortunate to be on the tail end of the Schumi years.

Paul Page also does the announcing for the Coney Island Hot Dog eating contest for ESPN :) LOL

Que carreron y obviamente feliz porque gano montoya ese dia...el final estuvo de infarto,,,,

@rantanamo how much power do / did they have? I don't watch indycar or champ car that much

Bien dicho.

Not to mention he does commentary for the X Games for anything with a motor, and involves racing.

The reason Paul Page doesn't do IRL or Champ Car now is because he does the NHRA on ESPN now

Ahh, ChampCar (or CART for me), back when it doesn't suck.

@bgcatfan Hehe LOL, I must've been quoting someone.

It still makes no sense everytime I see either this or a California race why CART wanted to abandon ovals. The racing was always close!

The announcer is Paul Page and the racing analyst is Parker Johnstone.

This should have been the finish to the Indy 500 in 2000 with CART equipment if it was allowed and TG realized in 1996 splitting was the worst option as a whole for the sport than just over what the Indy 500 homers from USAC thought.

its curious u said that...Indy 500 on 2000 was win also by a Fast & Furious Juan Montoya in a very dominant way!! (even IRL and CART were apart they made their first crossover in that Legendary Race that maybe was the start point to the reunion of that incredible race categories years later )...

HAHA NA$CAR. Original. You're correct, though. Indy is it's own deal, and for some reason, drivers seem to think NASCAR is the place to be, when that isn't the case at all.

I see this before from IceBudweiser but in EUROSPORT channel and ESPN International. I used to like the old red scoring building sitting aside the start/finish line. Now the newly rennovated blue (I say ridiculous) building ruined the beauty of MIS. JPM nice racing with Andretti...

Indeed, racing on streets and road-courses only will damage the sport. I had a bad feeling that CCWS will fail the tradition of CART if they keep adding in road-racing like this, when IRL started to diversify their series.

Dude, you know that always NASCAR forgets about Indy guys. If Wheldon, Allmendiger or Hornish trespass to NASCAR, they will ask "who the hell are these guys?"

5 year old trey was heart broken after this one.

Chip likes winners! 😆

There were thousands upon thousands of empty seats in this video as well when they had the helicopter shot.

This is why Champ Car needs oval racing.

I KNEW that but the reason why he is doing NHRA because ESPN has screwed itself time after time and announcers have been switched just to make whats his name (ESPN CEO) happy!

Yep and why he isn't doing IRL or ChampCar these days got me beat. Another victim of ESPN narrow-minded calls!

It's not about wether or not he can race on ovals. It's about wether or not he can race sedans after spending a career in open wheel.

But it was only Testing not Racing. So its obvious why he turned it down.. that is if you call IRL racing.. in which its not.

@47ambrose42jpm Ben Edwards was having an organism on the last lap. he is way better, BBC replace Legard with edwards. Edwards and Brundle

I hate tony george. because of his actions champ car/cart eventually fell under and I now have nothing to look forward to on sundays. irl???? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! give me a break, what a joke. in the end he won of course and that's a sad deal because cart really was a great thing. i miss the roar of the engines, the sleekness of the cars, the exciting finishes, the amazing tracks.... etc. now i have to relive the glory days through old footage.

Tony George screwed up the 1996 Indy 500. CART was dumb to run the US 500 that year and cost them big time in the years after it. They never should have did that. It was about USAC and IMS trying to control open wheel racing especially Tony George along with Berine with it a little bit.
