    Prime time memories here. I was 16... Started watching in the early 90s and remember seeing Richard Petty racing still. So glad I got to grew up with this era. Thanks!
  • @JV-mw7gv
    Man these cars sounded so good!
  • @mikemike388
    Thank you NASCAR for uploading this. I remember watching this live back in 2002 as a little kid. Absolutely amazing to watch it once again 20 years later.
  • @robbylyons1708
    That might be one of the most badass intro segments FOX has ever made. 🔥🔥🔥
  • @TheZillaman89
    Need to go back to this points system. It worked great for so many years and now it's so bad, sponsors are dropping like flies. Thanks, Brian France.
  • Nascar's golden era was 1990-2005. It was great. Earnhardht Sr, Labonte, Jarett, Gordon, Wallace, Stewart, Dale Jr, Elliott, Martin. Hendricks, Gibbs, Rousch, Childress. Since then it has gone off a cliff.
  • @xgarrett420x
    This is the era I miss the most. A lot has changed in 20 years. The drivers, cars, and the fans. Grandstands used to be packed at 'Dega.
  • It’s been a minute since a classic race replay has popped up. (NOTE: the thumbnail of this video is from the 2002 EA Sports 500, notice the red colored number on the roof of Dale Jr’s car).
  • @plombo5728
    Watched it till the very end of the video. Savored every moment. Thank you, NASCAR.
  • I was there for the Busch race on Saturday that year and watched practice for the Winston Cup guys. I remember hearing him on the scanner that day. Dale Jr was not real happy with that car and complained a lot about the temperature of the engine and the amount of tape that was on it. He said the car didn’t suck up good to other cars and was dragging the frame on the turns. I always wondered what adjustments they made because it was so strong he led a good bit of the race
  • @zachg9065
    Damn the Van Halen intro was Epic!!
  • Omg yessss I was hoping they would continue to upload classic races during the off season!! Thank you!!😎
  • @myballsdrop
