From the video description:

Uploaded on Jul 3, 2007 Relive the last 3 laps as Jeremy Mayfield bumps Dale Earnhardt in turn 4 to win the 2000 Pocono 500.Thanks to Beerandbones22 of TBK. Eli Gold and Buddy Baker have the call for TNN.

I haven't yet been able to find the elusive turn 4 at Pocono.

Here's a video with Earnhardt's post-race interview.

Thanks for posting this. As a relatively new follower of NASCAR, I love watching these little gems from before I started watching.

If I remember correctly this happened on a Monday as the Sunday was rained out, I remember watching it on TNN and the entire living room at the time let out a collective WOAH!

One of my all time favorite races. Heres a shot of Earnhardt being all butthurt that someone Earnhardt'd him- telling Mayfield he's number one

[u/M0D3RNW4RR10R]

Mayfield isn't joked on, just Methfield...

I kid I kid.

If someone could do a screen grad at the 4:20 mark that would be awesome!

"If you aint livin on the edge, you're takin up too much space." "Just wanted to rattle his cage." Damn I miss Jeremy.

Edit: I see HoosierJones already found a picture from that exact moment...never mind.

I hate that meth has to be the end of so many people. It could have been a great career. He is / was a talented driver.
