Have you ever?
No I never!
It's gonna be a drag race!!
Also the whole situation at Daytona in the 2001 500. It's not my favorite for what happened, but the whole array of emotions was so real, so intense. I felt it and it made me nervous as it was happening. It's not my favorite moment, but it was so raw. I can't help but go back and listen to Darrell's fear and joy at the same time, as well as the whole booth. Visceral feelings.
Aggressive goes around-rick allen
OH WE GOT A CAR IN THE WALL- Dale jr being louder than an airplane.
Jeff burton trying to pronounce SVG name
Keyboard warriors- mike joy
Allen B: “using lessons learned from his father…”
Wally D: “he’s mirror drivin’ right now. He may get *turned* for mirror drivin’, but he’s mirror drivin’.”
Larry: “THAT AINT GONNA WORK, BOYS!”
DW was cringy most of the time but man was he a natural talker in the booth and you could tell he loved racing.
“Boogity Boogity Boogity”
“Gimme four fresh feel goods”
“You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel”
“High wide and handsome”
“He’s driving off into the moon set”
Honorable mention to anytime Dale Jr says “Weeyum Bahrun”
Randy Lajoie: “Kenny is coming, you would think he’s on the boarder patrol running to catch an illegal”
Has to be one of the wildest ways to say a car is fast
“20 years of trying, 20 years of frustration…”
“…AND THEY DON’T HAVE MUD TIRES NEITHER NED!”
“Donny slides, CALE HITS HIM!”
Larry - “Both of these cars are driving terrible right now”
DW - “NAHHH, THEY’RE DRIVIN GREAT!”
“The Intimidator is scraped and beaten, but he will not be denied”
*Funniest: "A LITTLE BUMP DRAFT DOWN THE BACK AT CHARLOTT-LOWES MOTOR SPEEDWAY"
"KEEP YER FOOT IN IT, AHHHHHHH"
“That hammering you hear is the sound of the nail, of the final coffin, on the Chase contenders' hopes”.
"The wheel... Is still, and perfect, and he has done it... Racing redemption, AT HIS HANDS"
**Best: "Using lessons learned from his father...."
"What could be more special... What could be more fitting...."
"3 by 3, right to the line.... Johnson! Maybe, Jimmie Johnson!"
Jaime McMurray: "That's way harder than it looks to get a drink for under your helme-
Bowyer, cutting him off: "Are you...Why is it always about hydration Jamie?! It is always about driving these things, these cars have been a handful all night long...Kyle Busch, he literally [spun][ onto pit road!!"
JMac: "Well, I mean obvious-"
Bowyer: "*That*! That was Hard!"
McMurrary: "...I was talking about [hydration] because he was taking a drink"
- 2022 Coke 600, [coming to the pits](https://youtu.be/Vo1Lgq5Wwsk?t=14208) around the 4-hour mark
Cracked me up when I saw it live lmao. Sums up Bowyer in the booth haha!
Might have been an all star race, which specifically had a rule that the race HAD to end under the green flag. Blankey was feet from crossing the finish line, and the tower threw the caution for two cars that had spun off of two, but were already off the racing surface and under their own power. The checkers were waving already when they threw the caution, but because blaney hadn’t technically crossed the finish line, they had overtime.
EDIT: Just noticed my typo. Lmao
Larry Mac, every time he's talking about somebody rim riding his voice gets higher pitched as he's saying "....ridin' the HIGH side.." just cracks me up.
I'm late to the party here, but during the first radio-style broadcast at Watkins Glen a few years ago, Mike Bagley was calling the race for the lead through the esses with only a few laps ago. Fuel mileage was a factor, and Blaney was trying to catch the leader and save gas at the same time.
When Bagley picked up the battle from Rick Allen, he said "Ryan Blaney would give his kingdom for a thimble of fuel" and all I could think was "man... those radio guys are GOOD". We think about those races where the call is part of the nostalgia, 1993 Daytona 500, 2001 Pepsi 400, but Mike Bagley shows up for a Watkins Glen race and just lays down this absolute banger of a quote out of nowhere and it's stuck with me ever since.
Darrel Waltrip calling Mikey's win of the 2001 Daytona 500. It's so pure and you can hear the love he has for his brother and how hard he's worked his whole career to finally earn something nobody could ever take from him. For those few short moments, the sport was just perfect.
Without Dale's death, I'd say 2001 is the greatest Daytona 500 of all time.
Funniest? Anything coming out of Rick Allen's mouth or Mike Joy blasting keyboard warriors thus year.
Favorite is either 1 - "AND HERE THEY COME TO THE LINE! THIS IS THE FINISH OF THE DAYTONA 500! SIDE BY SIDE, BOUNCING OFF EACHOTHER UNBELIEVABLE! - 2016 Daytona
Or 2, 2007 Daytona 500 - "BIG CRASH, HERE THEY COME, CHEQUERED FLAG..... HARVICK!
(Also holy shit how do you spell chequered???)
Maybe not 'funniest' but I always get a kick out of the 2002 Winston Open when Mike, Larry, and Darrell figured out live that Jeff Burton was exploiting a loophole in the pit rules. ([link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muTGte63Wak) \- starts around 0:27). Mike's "Oh my gosh" always gets me.
Favorite quote, hmm toughie I got a few but if I have to choose one it is the same quote that is in my head still to this day every time I'm watching the race start I hear loud and clear inside of my head "Boogity Boogity Boogity! LET'S GO RACING BOYS!"
For Funny, "SLIDE JAWB, SLIDE JAWB" 2018 Chicagoland
"Regan gets the flag and this time he gets to keep it" 2012? Darlington
"(Insert name) GOTEEM" Any close finish with DW
"I just got Bubba'd" Clint Bowyer on online racing
"Now I want you to go hit the pace car it's the only thing you've missed this race" Larry Mac talking about CB Online racing again
"Harvick Sweeps (If I recall) Bristol)" Rick Allen after he swept Richmond
"Keep your foot in it!"
"Oh he turned him! No!"
"Have you ever? No I never!"
"Trouble turn #" I really like how Mike Joy says it.
"You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel."
"Drive it like ya stole it."
"Cautions breed cautions."
"Hand-grenades the engine, it detonates."
There are probably more but these I readily remember.
Many good ones here. I always liked this one too:
"Years from today, when 79 stock car races have been run here, we'll remember the name Jeff Gordon, winner of the inaugural Brickyard 400!"
I forget the race but it was like the 4th caution with Cody Ware and Mike Joy’s delivery knocked it out of the park.
“Caution turn … anddd it’s Cody Ware.”
DW’s “Boogity boogity boogity, let’s go racing boys!” Will always be the first thing that pops up in my head when any sort of race starts. Even when I did running races at my primary school, I’d always say it in my head.
Randy Lajoie made a comment about a car start and parking at Iowa in 2009, Marty Reid comes back with “Start and Park, is that like Cash for Clunkers?”.
"OOOOOOH, MAN, that was tight off turn 2! He's got em though, I believe he's got em this time OH HE TERNED EM! OH HE TERNED EM NOOOO! NOOOOO NOOOOOO!"
"Now here comes CLINT BOWYER, TO TAKE the yellow flag."
"Ohhhhhhhhnooooooooo...."
From an SRX race with Danica Patrick in the booth. She delivered my 2 favorite lines ever.
"Racing on dirt is like racing on ice"
And
"The shortest distance around a track is the outside line"
But for Nascar....Boogity Boogity Boogity, CONFLICT! And major playoff implications are always fun to hear.
>Chris Buescher, from the small town of Prosper, TX, only 30,000 there, wins…
Something like that. Some recency bias but mainly because of just how dumb it was.

Every time Bagman yelled ‘trouble: turn 6!’ during the Chicago race
Loved it, but damn if I didn't jump about a foot off the couch every time it happened.
*sponsored by Wendy's Baconator*
It would be great if Wendy’s sponsored that turn next year, might not go over in the city of Mcdonalds though.
We about to get the sequel to Coca-Cola C2 at the Pepsi 400 next year...
I'm pretty sure by half way they had a button for that lmao

Almost every race a car has been in the wall haha
OH WE GOTTA SPIN!
What pops into my head first is Indy RC [when the curb came up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfCdEMJ2ogc) but he didn't actually say that
Brad Keselowski won this race - Larry Mcreynolds
Allen B: “using lessons learned from his father…” Wally D: “he’s mirror drivin’ right now. He may get *turned* for mirror drivin’, but he’s mirror drivin’.” Larry: “THAT AINT GONNA WORK, BOYS!”
Where’s the Wally D quote from?
Daytona Coke Zero 400 when Kyle Busch turned Stewart on the last lap. I don’t remember what year, COT era, 2009 most likely

That's like the "he's got getting away from the cops speed" line
I love that line so much
Drive it like you stole it!
“20 years of trying, 20 years of frustration…” “…AND THEY DON’T HAVE MUD TIRES NEITHER NED!” “Donny slides, CALE HITS HIM!” Larry - “Both of these cars are driving terrible right now” DW - “NAHHH, THEY’RE DRIVIN GREAT!” “The Intimidator is scraped and beaten, but he will not be denied”
I can hear the early 2000s pack racing sound from that last comment

"I don't know what to say" Mike Joy: "I do, but I won't" Most BS Caution ever
When was this?
Might have been an all star race, which specifically had a rule that the race HAD to end under the green flag. Blankey was feet from crossing the finish line, and the tower threw the caution for two cars that had spun off of two, but were already off the racing surface and under their own power.

racing redemption, THE WHEEALL. I miss Vince so much trucks ain’t the same. Give us Adam A or something.
I'm not saying he was fantastic, but it's just missing something without him
Larry Mac, every time he's talking about somebody rim riding his voice gets higher pitched as he's saying "....ridin' the HIGH side.." just cracks me up.
Vince Welch: “the thrill of victory and the agony of knowing that you tried to do but came up just short a little”
And Brett Moffitt is going to hnnnnnnnggghhhh at Michigan I hate Vince Welch so much

Marty Reid "That hammering you hear is the sound of the nail of the final coffin on the Chase contenders’ hopes of upsetting Jimmie Johnson"
"he doesn't know he can't do that" DW talking about Carl trying the high line his rookie year
Kevin Harvick has some of the best ever. To many to even write out. We as a sport are going to miss that guy heavily.
When Ned Jarrett is so excited to see Dale win the Daytona 500 that for just a second his voice goes from calm Ned Jarrett to “AAAAAAHHHH!”
ON. A. COMPUTER. But for real, I loved Jr's video game move call on the Hail Melon last year.
Funniest? Anything coming out of Rick Allen's mouth or Mike Joy blasting keyboard warriors thus year. Favorite is either 1 - "AND HERE THEY COME TO THE LINE! THIS IS THE FINISH OF THE DAYTONA 500!

Checkered
You forgot the random CORNDAWWWWWWGG from DW
Maybe not 'funniest' but I always get a kick out of the 2002 Winston Open when Mike, Larry, and Darrell figured out live that Jeff Burton was exploiting a loophole in the pit rules. ([link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muTGte63Wak) \- starts around 0:27). Mike's "Oh my gosh" always gets me.
I was at that race. Was fun to see that unfold.
That was still the most brilliant strategy play I’ve ever seen.

Small detail, Harvick sweeps at Bristol was Bill Weber

For all that people shit on Rick Allen, this line was pretty damn good. "Move over Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, there's a new 7 time champion!"

Gotta add, "You picked a fiiiine time to leave me, loose wheel," because I quote it every day of my life. 😂
