If the track was like that when they finally went full green NASCAR today would not be racing and they would still be drying the track, going 200+MPH on a track that is only 2/3 dry shows you have huge guts. This was the only time that Cale won the July race at Talladega, yet he won the Spring race Winston 500 a few times, but it took him over a decade and a half to finally win the Talladega 500. Penultimate win, #82.
2:21:30 Awe he just got some glass in his face… He'll be alright!!… You would think by 85 they would have figured out that glass just was just a bad idea..
I remember reading an article in an old magazine called Circle Track and Ernie Elliott did an interview and one of the reason it was so hard for other cars to draft off of Bills Thunderbird was not just it was a superior car as far as aero wise, but they decided to have their T-Bird smaller than the others such as Cale's T-Bird i remember looking at pictures of both cars and Bills car was smaller and also, the Elliott's did not have factory backing like the other Ford teams. Dale even said it best the Elliott's are the reason for Fords success other than the car itself and engine block 351 Cleveland they used no Ford parts
at the 2 hour mark, you've got 2 chevy's up front, and elliot's ford pulls up and past them on his own…no draft. i always wonder what was under the hood on the #9!
the feature on technology was interesting. you can almost see if nascar had gone in a different direction it wouldve ended up like formula 1 or sports car racing, hugely technological and focused more on engineering than drivers
Cale Yarborough's last career Cup win.
1:06:25 Everybody on the watches !!!

What happened to the bill elliott story??
Last time Foyt finished in the top five of a Winston Cup race.
What the title of the song played at 10:15 when Ken announces the starting line-up?
Love that sly grin at 16:54. Ol' Ernie knew he had somethin' for them…
2:22 Mexican speed wrench, lol
people were more innocent and more natural back then…therefore and nascar coverage and race better
1:13:52 ………..That Dude is a Awesome Tire Changer ! !
Davey Allison's 1st career Cup race.
Coverage during the early rain delay and when the field was under the "Green/Yellow" still beats anything TV does now without a delay.
These are real stock cars, not the crap they race with now..

I really believe that Buddy Arrington did a well known job when he talk about his biggest run.
