One of these days, I'll make the four hour drive back to the paper clip (and hope it doesn't get rained out this time, like 2001)...

Setzer's Practice wreck that same weekend was pretty big, as well.

I was cursing pretty badly at that last one in 2010. So close yet so damn far.

Don't get me started about that shit.

My favourite thing about Martinsvile was in 2003 when someone (was it Gordon?) popped a massive wheelie down the straight.
Pretty impressive at like 70mph tbh .

The Fall '11 race is one of the funniest - and most entertaining - races I've ever seen. God Vickers was terrible that day.

If we're thinking of the same incident, it was Kurt.

This my favorite piece of Larry Mac commentary ever. I've never really heard him raise his voice so much in excitment. "KENSETH OVER DROVE THE CORNER HERE COMES HAMLIN"

That was contact with Rusty, correct?

"I used an alternate word for 'turd' and they didn't like that." -Rusty Wallace on his comments regarding a late-race penalty in the '97 fall race.

Since Johnson is out of it, I could see him helping Jeff to get the W and become the first man to get to the final 4.

Not to put a bummer on all the clips posted so far, but it's hard to believe this happened 10 years ago today.

I missed this race due to some stupid group project in university (I dropped out a couple weeks later, best decision I ever made), and came home to ask my mom who won the race. She said "ohhhh Jimmie did, but there's some really sad news about Hendrick Motorsports".

My heart sank when I learned what happened. A championship win for them would have been too good to be true that year, but Jimmie's win the following week was pretty damn special.
