31:24 - 31:33 "Other sports have what we call a competition yellow. I think we oughtta have that! When there ain't no competition, we throw the yellow!" 15 years later, the notorious Steve O'Donnell announces a 20-minute caution clock for the Truck Series.

This was when Gordon really got into championship form. Through the first 4 months, he had 1 win (though he came oh so close to 2) and was lagging a bit behind Dale Jarrett. Then he goes back-to-back here and Michigan, then goes back-to-back again at Brickyard/Watkins Glen.

The race that started Jeff Gordon's momentum for his 4th & last championship.

1997-2006 was some of the best racing. The back of the cars were higher so the car tryna pass doesn't lose aero.

This car was given to Jimmie Johnson the next year and he won this same race in 2002.

Miss every single thing about that race

At 31:23, be careful what you wish for. DW jokingly suggests something NA$CAR does all too frequently these days, and it's one of many reasons I don't watch anymore. Thanks for uploading the real thing!

Love the little Monster Mash video at 16:01. Definitely saw it as a kid, because I distinctly remember some of those NASCAR clips and where they synced up with the song.
