@@DepravedCoTApologist Seriously, and the 92 Hooters 500 is actually the hands down, greatest race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Petty's final race and he crashed out, only to have his car repaired in time @ 2 to go to finish the race. The cup debut of Jeff Gordan. A year long championship battle between Elliot and Davey Allison to be concluded with the surprise "Underbird" Kulwicki to win the cup.

That 5 car battle for the win is what I hope to see. It's definitely possible.

One of my absolute favorite NASCAR races. 11 year old me was jumping up and down on the porch after the checkered flag, excited that this rookie won in what was Dale Earnhardt's car. As I got older, seeing that run to the finish brings tears to my eyes.

This race healed a mourning fan base!!! Personally I think Nov 1992 Hooters 500 was the best. I was there both of them. But Harvick holding 3 fingers out made me cry

Personally, this and the 1992 Hooters 500 are definitely the best races at Atlanta.^^ Also, Kevin Harvick did it for Dale in spectacular fashion.

I love the fact that it was Harvick’s Goodwrench car that went to victory lane, a great race with a great tribute to one of the greats. Did it for Dale! R.I.P #3

It's either this or the 1992 Hooters 500 as the best race ever held at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

For those of you new to NASCAR through 1998 PIR & AMS were the last 2 races of the season. Davey had an A+ season & the points lead but had a early DNF. Kulwicki had to not only finish better than Elliott but lead the most laps. AK got 1 more lap led than BE = AK won the Championship by ONLY 5 POINTS. In contrast Dale Sr. in 1994 beat 2ND PLACE Mark Martin by 444 points for the Winston Cup. And the rest of the field well ....

Agreed the '92 finale on the old configuration had so much going on: - The King's Last race - Gordan's first race - Davey Allison's unfortunate crash coming up short - and of course the battle between Kulwicki and Elliot. I would say this '01 race is that one-in-a-generation wins just like the '92 race.

2001 was a emotional year for NASCAR Rip Dale Earnhardt 🙏🏻

Keep this in mind: On February 18th 2018, Austin Dillon won the Daytona 500 in the 3 car The very next week at Atlanta, Harvick (Earnhardt's former replacement) wins. Lastly, Dale's final win was at Talladega on October 15, 2000. The March 2000 Atlanta race was his 75th win

That was an awesome win for Kevin Harvick at Atlanta in 2001 and this is a great video from Black Flags Matter and thanks for putting this video on here

These races in Gen 4 always had these close finishes and breakaway groups in Atlanta almost like super speedway breakaway packs you had a line of players it seemed like.

This is always fun to watch as a Harvick fan, although this race was over 3 years before I was born. What a day, what a race. RIP Dale Earnhardt, and what a sad day it will be in November 2023, when Harvick makes what will likely be his final start.

The finish still gets to me to this day

Btw. Thanks for making a video on this race. Great job. Brought back so many good memories. Can you do a video on that Nov 92 race in Atlanta. I was there as a Dupont guest and the only guy who knew Jeff Gordon out of my group. We got to meet him and his mom and the pit crew. Did I mention the Hooters girls??????

I was there. Remember it like it was yesterday

Are you going to talk about the 2000 race where Dale Sr. won?

Even though this was the best NASCAR race Atlanta Motor Speedway ever had, a few weeks later on April 11th, Atlanta was also the site of one of the worst wrecks in Indycar history in which 11 cars were taken out & one driver Jack Miller suffered a concussion & never raced again. As a result of this wreck, IRL & later Indycar decided to never race at Atlanta again.

HE DID IT FOR DALE!

The shirt im wearin in my pfp, ill be wearin it in honor of Dale.

Kevin was on Dale Jrs podcast and said that the car he ran Atlanta was Car 51... when Kevin tested that car...

Gen 4 cars, lots of history with those cars. I know the newer ones are safer but I miss those cars. Harvick was in third place on the third lap.

That was on my first birthday 21 years ago

I will have to go with the race from 2000 Earnhardt Vs Labonte but that's my opinion.

Their best races were in the old oval configuration. Even the photo finishes after, the races as a whole weren't as compelling as they were on the old oval

8:52 PRONOUNS, PAL

Nadeau vs Jarrett vs Earnhardt Jr vs Harvick vs J. Gordon... I'm hard

I’m a Harvick fan, so uhhhhhhhh hell yeah

1992 Hooters 500 enters the conversation....

RIP Dale Earnhardt 🙏

With Gen7 we probably could’ve had this kind of racing if Atlanta was just repaved not reconfigured again.

There was not a dry eye in victory lane that day

All I can say is: It's gonna be a damn sad day when Harvick retires.

1st caution, lap 3. 3rd race after Dale passed. Harvick in 3rd at the 1st caution. What is the square root of 9? 3, 2✓9; 29. Who won, KH in the 29. Wonder if Dale said we got this

No way in Hell. The Hooters 500 at Atlanta in 1992 is considered by many as the greatest race of all time. The King's last race. Jeff Gordon's first race. Davey Allison was the point leader going into the race. Several drivers had a shot at the title. Alan Kulwiki lead one more lap than Bill Elliott giving him the Championship as a Car Owner and Driver. Davey and Alan die the very next year. You are WAY off on this one.

They screwed Andy Houston there.

This was a great finish, only thing that would have made it better would be if DW wasn't so damn focused on the slow car

Disagree. 1992 was the best.
