Best sprint race you've ever seen?

Amy · 3/13/10, 12:15 AM

I was looking through YouTube videos and started thinking about the best races I've seen.
Just wondering what everyone else's opinion might be.
Whether it be winged or non-winged, pre-roll cage or post, I think it'd be interesting to hear.

Best pavement, Joe James / Pat O'Conner, Stewart beats Irwin. I'll have to think about the dirt one a while.

NW. 2009 Kamp Sprintweek.

Winged, 1988 Bloomington. Friday after Knox Nationals that Bobby Alan Won.

Bobby and Doug Wolfgang went side by side that whole race. Doug won it by inches

That race at Knoxville was a classic too. Bobby Allen won with Sammy tracking him down with smoke and sometime fire coming from around the headers.

Last years Sprintweek race at Haubstadt was about as good as it gets.

The USAC TH race where Levi blew a tire (after doing some other stuff I didn't think was right), and then other ran out of gas. Way exciting to see a finish that was interesting.

A close second was when I think Dave Darland and someone else was battling each other up until the final laps to win a USAC race and was using the whole track and bumping the wall in turn 4. I can't remember dates, but that was exciting.

Winged was the 04 World of Outlaws race at Haubstadt that Kaeding won. Non winged I'll aways be partial to the 05 Four Crown race where Levi ran above the cushion.

2005 Auto Value Super Sprints at Dixie Speedway in Michigan. Cameron Dodson took the challenge being fast qualifier to start at the tail of the A main. He came within 2 feet of winning!! Don't think anyone in the stands sat through the entire race!

2nd best - 2005 AVSS at Winchester - Cameron lapped the field up to third place, Dave Steel was 2nd half a lap back.

Stanbrough and DC battle at Haubstadt , 7-8-07, KISS finale. Stanbrough's post race interview, pretty good too.
