Better Finish?

[XtennesseeX]

If you had to rank the best photo finish since 2000 in NASCAR, how would you rank them.

YouTube - NASCAR Nextel Cup - Crazy Daytona 500 2007 Finish
YouTube - 2007 Pepsi 400 Photo Finish
YouTube - Bobby Labonte vs Dale Earnhardt
YouTube - Ricky Craven Kurt Busch Photo Finish at Darlington
YouTube - 2005 Atlanta Finish + BackFlip
YouTube - 2001 Atlanta - Harvick wins in photo finish


I missed a few I think, but I couldn't find them.

1. Craven/Busch - Darlington 2003. Not only the run to the finish line, but the last two or three laps were great.

2. McMurray/Busch - Daytona 2007. It doesn't get much more intense than that in a choked down engine race at the finish.

3. Edwards/Johnson - Atlanta 2005. I put it ahead of the Earnhardt/Labonte and Harvick/Gordon Atlanta finishes because the guy that won made the pass coming out of the final turn.

4. Earnhardt/Labonte - Atlanta 2000. Labonte stalked him for several laps and made his move on the final lap but came up just short. Win #75 for DE Sr.

5. Harvick/Gordon - Atlanta 2001. Basically the same finish as the 2000 race, just with more emotion attached to it being just the third race after DE Sr.'s death.

6. Harvick/Martin - Daytona 2007. They were side-by-side, but it wasn't as close of a finish as the others. Harvick was ahead by a fender or so at the line. Made more memorable by the huge crash behind them.

You could also put the Johnson/Labonte finish from the 2005 Coke 600 on the list.

07 Daytona 500 wasnt the closest finish, but I think it was the best finish.....Harvick restarted 7th with 2 to go, plus there was the big wreck and all :rock:

07 Daytona 500 because Harvick won. Craven/Busch was pretty exciting as well.

Earnhardt win was pretty good too and then Harvick the next year in the same thing.

Craven/Busch was the best I've seen in a long time, maybe ever.

Have to agree with you on the first two!

Busch and Craven is the best non restrictor plate finish ever.

I agree...that was friggin' awesome...But you have to put the restrictor plate races in there too....and '07 ranks up there with the best of them....even the 400 finish was good.
