  • The race you are about to see appear as originally broadcast and may contain imagery that is offensive and doesn't align with NASCAR's values. NASCAR has since permanently banned the display of the confederate flag at all events.

    The "colorized" races from the B&W era (before almost ANY color TV coverage of races) are just superb. This one in particular is special (first of 105 wins for "The Silver Fox", Lee Petty Engineering trying to keep the future "King" and company going with papa Lee still laying in the hospital. Also it's the final race for 3 time NASCAR champ Tim Flock).

    I am a fan of Pontiacs. Those Catalinas were the preferred choice back in the early 60s.

    Watched UA-cam clips from the 60 and 61 World 600's and listened to the transition of driver names.
    Lee Petty, Tom Pistone, Bob Wellborn, Jim Beauchamp, Speedy Thompson, the Flock Brothers, et al are giving way to David Pearson, Richard Petty, Fred Lorenzen, Junior Johnson, Fireball Roberts et al. The 50's give way to the 60's. The torch is passed.

    Chris Economaki with the narration! He was the editor The National Speed Sport News and did race coverage for ABC's Wide World of Sports for years. For many, he was the voice of NASCAR events when they were distilled down to 20-25 minutes on Wide World of Sports. on Saturday afternoons.

    The driver who lost a leg, from knee down, don't remember his name, but he made it back to racing and won many local races. Couldn't do Nascar due to a dispute about his accident here, until it got settled years later. That's a great story of perseverance itself, watched it on YT recently.

    Why are these real classics so short if it's the full race? Is this just how long they were back then? Or is the full footage no longer available?

      I believe they would record the full races but chop it up and present it as 20-30 minute presentation. The 1979 Daytona 500 was the first 500 mile race shown flag to flag. Full race broadcast didn't really start to become a thing until the 1980s.
