Was at this race. It was a super cool experience. I still remember telling Ricky Rudd good luck before this race. I also remember throwing some ice on the grandstands to watch it melt immediately. Anything to amuse an 8 year old. Haha. Oh and who could forget Junior celebrating in the infield?

Boy I miss that old restrictor plate engine noise. 00:11:12 is perfect!

i really miss the old aero package as well, you could go place make some passes with out help both tracks were amazing with it, now its not car racing, it two lines trying to get ahead, restrictor plate races went form the most exciting to the most boring thing in nascar.

If only Nascar could release an entire footage of onboard cams of drivers on Daytona and Talladega from 1989 to mid 2007

Man I miss those days. Carbs, analog gauges and wow that sound. The coverage was top notch too.

2004 was a good year!

One of the last years I can remember of plate racing where they actually got spread out a bit.

I miss these cars

[Spoiler alert if you're somehow watching this for the first time] I love races like this where there are so many scenarios working out. There's Greg Biffle, the pole sitter, barely not a rookie, who has to work his way up from the back, dodge the big one, worry about his engine holding up after two of his teammates fall out, and then gets busted for coming onto pit road way too fast right at the end. There's Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, the never-changing ever-steady Hendrick duo, doing what they always do and have done. There's Kurt Busch, who has a fast car but gets trapped a lap down early after contact with Dale Jr, and cannot win but can do his best to determine the outcome of the race. There's Tony Stewart, who has worked with Dale Jr. all day and led half the race. There's Scott Wimmer, the rookie making his first start in a car that's won the 500 2 years before, trying to best the veterans and pulling a daring pit strategy call. There's Dave Blaney, the winner of the 500 2 years before, with nothing to lose and nowhere to go next week. There's Dale Jr., the fan-favorite in a hot car, 6 years to the day after his daddy finally won the big race and nearly 3 years to the day that his daddy died in the big race. And of course, there's drama. Heartache for Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace, and Kenny Schrader in what was supposed to be some of their last attempts in the 500 that they'd never won, tension as the leaders work their way through dense lap traffic whilst battling each other, Mikey ticked off at the safety crews after rolling three times in the grass and his car reduced to a smoldering roll cage and yet walking out with less injuries that that crew guy who fell on his face... all in all, I think the 2007 D-500 was better, but this is one of those races that Hollywood couldn't think up. Also, it's been 10 years and I'm still mad Tony didn't win. Seeing him run up front is such soothing medicine, though.

1998 dale Earnhardt wins the 500 in the 3. 3 years later dies in the same race. 3 years after that his son wins. theres just something about 3 and Daytona.

Jacob Eggie can't forget Martinsville either that was great to

The 2001 Pepsi 400 and the the 2004 Daytona 500 where two of Dale JR,s greatest moments in his amazing career

the last great Daytona 500...long green flag run to end the race, ended in daylight, and the fastest car won without having to jump through hoops like a green, white, checkered. How I wish there was another 500 like this one!

How amazing it is to think that on February 15, 1998 Dale Earnhardt Sr won his first Daytona 500 and then on February 15, 2004 Dale Earnhardt Jr won his first Daytona 500!! I don't think that's a coincidence, that was Earnhardt carrying Junior to the win.

yep, Bestwick Parsons & Dallenbach on of the best booths in NASCAR history, a lot of great insights and good chemistry

Man I miss the old DEI team

Thanks for posting this. I was born in 2004 so unfortunately I couldn't really watch it when it happened

I also recorded this but accidentally taped over the final minute of the broadcast. Glad to see it again on here!

It was shocking to see Jeff Gordon use a provisional at this race, considering he won it the following year and started on the front row with Jeff Burton the year after that.

Jr actually predicted this. He said he had a dream he won, and when asked where his father was, Jr replied he wasn’t there...

At the time, 2004, the on-board cameras did not have dual path technology. Meaning the control room could only see one camera at a time from each car. Typically each car has 3 cameras, sometimes a 4th like the helmet camera. Either way, whatever camera view the control room had pulled up is what was recorded. Same goes for all the other cars. At the time of the crash the control room was on the roof cam. Sadly due to the technology at the time, thats all that was recorded.

I love this kind of pack racing when there is no start and parks and everyone is 2 or 3 wide all the time

My very Absolute Favorite part of this race is from point 222.0 onward , when it appears Junior told the #97, Kurt Busch= Fugg You (!!); I-don't-Need-your help!! ... and then just Took Off around Tony Stewart to take the Lead!! Go Junior!! :-)

they found more power out of the current design. all they did in those days was use tri-y headers and weld the pipes together at the center kinda like an X pipes but they just took two straight pipes and merged them together and then separate them again. the Morgan McClure bunch came across that in the mid 90's and it was the cats meow for a while.

There were 2 car lengths between the 8 of Jr. and 20 of Stewart for quite a few laps at the beginning and especially at the end. In those final laps, I bet that an invisible 3 of Sr. pushed the 8 of Jr. to the win. My finishing order: 1st 8 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 200 2nd 3 Dale Earnhardt Sr, 200 3rd 20 Tony Stewart 200 4th 22 Scott Wimmer 200 5th 29 Kevin Harvick 200 6th 48 Jimmie Johnson 200 7th 01 Joe Nemechek 200 8th 38 Elliott Sadler 200 9th 24 Jeff Gordon 200 10th 17 Matt Kenseth 200

B.P. on commentating = great.

i want the in helmet camera back

Is this the 500 where Mikey flipped

He won 10 years later

This race was funny. with how spread out it got it was almost like a mile and a half track race.

Can't believe this was over 8 years ago.

The stripes were actually white, and had "WELCOME NEXTEL - 2004 INAUGURAL SEASON" written on them. But yes, every car had them for this race.

I like how 12% of people still picked Mark Martin to win even after he blew up.

Dale jr da best forever

BP, Ned jarret, and Bob Jenkings = BEST NASCAR ANOUNCE TEAM EVER!!!!!

Dale JR had a great car in 2004 when he this race this is when DEI was at there peak as a company they had a awesome year in 04 won 6 races and come so close to winning the championship if for a penalty if I’m correct he would have won it

It was pretty eerie seeing all the rescue crews around, of all people's, Michael Waltrip's car. Probably good thing the Fox crew did not call the race, else DW would had been unable to handle it.

The race that made me a Scott wimmer fan lol...

dale jr is awsome

Nascar is the best its been, Ive been watching since the mid 90s and the races have more going than ever before. I really think everybody has nostalgia goggles on, there wasn't but 1 lead change in the last 20 laps of this race, rewatch the races from back then, there were run away wins all the time back then. Honestly nothing much has changed when it comes to the racing product on the track. At least the stages leave opportunities for strategy.

opinions: worst commentators - Wally "I never won a race" Dallenbach and Allan Bestwick or Jeff Gordon and DW?

Biffle complaining, he wouldn't have passed Jr. Even with a caution. But drivers ask for these cautions. We dnt need the bs cautions Greg. Just to bunch them back up

Dallenbach is an informative commentator (maybe a bit obvious at times,) but he give info about what's going on and he isn't biased and rooting for certain drivers. Cough DW Cough.
