    That cameraman on the stand in turn 1 had to be crapping his pants watching Dick Brooks coming straight at him with no brakes. All those crewmen running out to help Ralph Jones with cars zipping by at high speed was insane. One mistake and a car could have killed several of them.

    My Dad rented a camper that day in the infield. He parked away from the party crowd. Pretty close to where 90 Dick Brooks crashed. Not as many safety features as now a days. I think this is when drivers were really brave and tough. When the cars on the track actually looked like cars on the street. I raced locally at short tracks in North Carolina. It’s addictive for sure. A fraternity member in racing for life.

    This is my first comment on anything NASCAR related. I was driving a Boss 302 Mustang back in 1977 and loved the muscle cars but never got into racing... until now with these replays! This is real hardcore racing! The modern NASCAR racing pales in comparison in my opinion!

      In 1978 I had a1974 Mercury Montego GT with the 351 CJ. Kinda of big and heavy but a nice luxury cruiser, great suspension, turning left onto a road the rear end would break lose but stay flat. I miss that car and many others I had. I've always like the 69 Boss 302 with the four headlights.

    Darrell caused that crash being a little impatient...maybe he tried to hit the brakes or crack the throttle, or maybe slower car should've been lower on the race track. Pearson was good at Darlington but the Wood brothers prepared a good car.

    The glory days of NASCAR. These 30 minute videos of the glory days catch my eyes much easier than the past 20 years of NASCAR. I love how teams used actual car bodies back then and into the 80s vs today's "look alikes".

    Waltrip's impatience cost both he and Cale a chance at victory.Yarborough outsmarted him,trapping him behind that slower lapped car and Waltrip's inexperience really showed.Cale probably had some colorful language inside the 11car after being crashed while leading!!!

    • @cjs83172
      @cjs83172 5 років тому

      In fact, it was from that very incident that Waltrip got the nickname "Jaws". What happened was that D.K. Ulrich asked Cale Yarborough what happened, and Yarborough told him that "Jaws" (a.k.a. Waltrip) hit him to cause that five-car chain reaction incident that also involved Janet Guthrie and Terry Bivins. Of those involved, only Bivins failed to finish (because of engine failure later, which may not have been related to the crash). Yarborough wound up finishing fifth, Waltrip sixth, Guthrie 16th, and Ulrich, who's car suffered the most damage, wound up 27th, three spots behind Bivins, who finished 24th.
