One of the greatest, albeit, never talked about battles I've ever seen in nascar.

Robby's diving move into bus stop is like every NASCAR Heat Lobby at Watkins Glen

Except, he didn't wreck Busch.

When Robby had a chance to win it was gonna be exciting. Also love hearing Wally in the booth.

We all do.

Fun Fact: Kurt Busch celebrated with Robby Gordon visiting him in Victory Lane, with Kurt saying that it reminded him racing against Ricky Craven at Darlington.... which was, arguably the BEST NASCAR finish EVER...

How these guys beat the hell outta each other without crashing I have no idea. Loved this race

I remember watching this live. At the time not liking kurt and always hated robby i couldn't help but enjoy this hard nosed racing!

Yes sir a classic barn burner

Robby really just sent it on the last lap

2:17 YOLO!!!!

excellent

Full send mode activated

man i miss the 2000's

"That's great stuff right there". Yes, yes it is!

I miss Robby Gordon.Nascar needs more guys like him.

I think Bill Weber had a glitch at 2:24 😂 Still, great hard racing. My God do I miss the NASCAR of old. Thanks for posting.

which is why im excited for next gen on road course besides my favorite driver dominating them all lol

Thank you for this, gets me pumped up to get back to WGI. What a beautiful place and great racing. This was an underrated battle!

Here he comes…WHOA-HO-HOOOO

Hell yeah!!!!!

Ohhhh man, I remember this. That was a battle to the finish!

My family and I watched this at the Outer Banks. Ya boy was hyped

Heck of a battle.

This is what happens when you have the two most agressive, and arguably two of the best to ever hold a steering wheel against each other.

I remember watching this race live, great times

One of my favorite battles of all time! It seems like it's either forgotten or never mentioned by NASCAR or fans...

First nascar race ever!!! What a great memory!!!

Oustanding battle!

Back when the cars actually had the ability to be driven on edge and took talent to drive unlike the garage that is now.

I know the 2006 Busch Series season gets a lot of criticism for essentially being the beginning of the abundant presence of Cup Series drivers but there were plenty of great races that year like this one. I'd take more Cup guys in Xfinity now if it meant the younger drivers could learn from some of the best.

It's really a shame that we can't have experienced guys in the lower series without them utterly dominating. It would be great to watch upcoming talent duke it out with the established guys but realistically the Cup Series drivers would just blow everybody else out of the water, especially when they're running top tier equipment.

There shouldn't be any Cup drivers in Xfinity nor Trucks at all

Well, I remember watching NRH with Joey and Brad, and they made a good point: if you completely annihilate the cup guys out of the few truck and Xfinity Series, how would the young guys learn how these tracks with no tips and guidance from the Cup guys, that know these tracks like off the back of their hand?

Oh god, imagine these both on a team together XD

Super underrated battle, forgot how aggressive Robby was lol. Really miss hearing Wally too. Him/Bestwick/BP was the best crew of all time imo

My favorite era of Robby Gordon’s nascar career was when he drove for Richard Childress in the late nineties and early 2000s.

I miss those days of Nascar. That was tough racing without wrecking each other. The sport today has nothing on this including the ratings wise.

One of the best races I've ever seen.

You'll never see that kind of last lap move again as long as they keep using the stupid splitter.

I guess you didn't watch the Keselowski/Ambrose battle at this same track just a few years later?

Ahhhhh pero si alguien tocaba a Robby Gordon el se ponía como un maldito demente .

I'm not a big fan of Robby Gordon, but you have to admire his commitment to go for it.

Foreshadowing of the 2012 Finger Lakes 355? This was only the second time they raced at Watkins Glen after they returned from a sabbatical that lasted from 2002-2004. Get rid of the splitters NASCAR, Nixon is sending you a message!

Ironically, both races involved Penske drivers

If Robby actually managed to pass him and win, this would undoubtedly be one ofvthe greatest passes in motorsports history

I liked these cars and the way things were, the drivers could drive these cars on edge and race each other and get into each other without tearing the car up. If you did this in the car they have now, they would be out of the race with a bent splitter. These cars took talent to drive and this is the kind of racing that the fans love to see. You don't see this type of racing anymore just like quarterbacks and receivers getting drilled over the middle with good clean football play, this type of stuff is a lost art now. This type of stuff made the Saturday something to see, back then I used to watch a lot of Busch races almost as much as I did the Cup Series, now I could care less because of a lack of racing like this.
