 Incredible Race!!! |
| Review Date: March 25, 2008 |
| Reviewer: L. Richard Houston, Hamptonville, NC USA |
What an incredible race this was.
First, it was the first race in which Robert Yates Racing competed following the death of superstar Davey Allison in a helicopter crash at the very same track. The DVD includes the broadcast's pre- and post-race tributes to Allison.
Secondly, this is the race in which Jimmy Horton flipped completely over the wall during a multi-car crash that critically injured fellow driver Stanley Smith. In a separate incident, Neil Bonnett -- making his first start since sustaining head injuries in a 1990 crash at Darlington -- flipped.
It's truly stunning that after being released from the infield care center, Bonnett moved to the broadcast booth to finish out the race. Want to know what a real man is? Neil Bonnett was a real man.
Finally, Dale Earnhardt beat Ernie Irvan to the checkered flag by just 5/1,000ths of a second. Watching this DVD, it's amazing how fast the time flies by. It's well worth adding to your DVD collection. |
Great race with almost full coverage

First off, it was a great race for the action on the track. Second off, this is the race where Jimmy Horton went over the wall and the race that Neil Bonnett had a hard lick. Third, it is the race weekend that Davey Allison died, and there are tributes to him in the telecast. Most important to me, it reminds me of the NASCAR I grew up with and all of the "right" names are racing. Earnhardt in a Lumina, Bill Elliott in a Thunderbird and Rusty Wallace in a Pontiac Grand Prix.
This DVD is the full recording of the CBS telecast of the DieHard 500, albeit with breaks where the commercials normally would be. The only caveat is it bills itself in some of its marketing literature as having both Talladega races from 1993. It does not. |
