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).
Now this is cool! Thanks for sharing this race. I was born in 1967 so I wasn't able to see any of these races. My first experience watching NASCAR wasn't until 1972-73? Even then I was a kid who'd watch, then race his Hot Wheels and Matchbox Die-Cast cars. However I saw enough back then to get hooked on racing. Richard Petty was my favorite driver. Mario Andretti was my favorite Indy-Car driver. Back in the 70's the cars had such an iconic look! I'm thankful that I get a chance to watch this race, and see the cars that they raced. I've really become fascinated with classic sports, movies, television, and music from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Now the 70's and 80's I grew up with so I remember how amazing it was. However the more I watch nowadays television, movies, sports, and listen to the music, UGH the music......💩💩💩💩💩 AWFUL! Channels like this are such a great way to reminisce. Thank you again.
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.
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.
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.
I’d like to see the 2022 South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on here because it was one of the best races in Nascar period since my best friend Archer watched it with me that day.
@@TravisGlantonTheFH-324Sa-un8lu hmm didn't know so I stand corrected but I found you the race you wanted regardless. Hope it brings you back to when you and Archer were watching it!
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.
Full race replay . . . 600 miles . . . in less than twenty minutes. You can't even stop lying to fans on something so innocuous. Please, don't strain your arm patting yourself on your back. 🙄
🏁This was an excellent video, especially for way back then!🏁
Thank you NASCAR for putting these Classic Races on UA-cam.

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

That's probably on the main NASCAR page. It's not old enough to be a classic. Hope you find it.

The lady to the right of Dave Pearson in the winner circle is famous british actress and "bosom star" June Wilkinson
Petty's Plymouth looked like it was from the '40s compared to those Pontiacs.
The ending was literally the first race in Cars.

@@gameonsports69 I'll keep that in mind.

Wild how the tires were blowing out. Ralph pitted first probably knowing the tires would go.
More than 6 drivers went out because of tire failures
Ned Jarret did the first pas in the grass!
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?

To race at 130 to 150 MPH fine.... but not in a closed loop circle.
The fake tire squealing and tom-tom drums ruin it for me.

They didn't air flag-to-flag coverage back then, so this is all the footage that exists.
Hey whenever you find the footage more power to ya, doesn't exist dum dum lol
@@D2RCRnot until 1979
That drum is very annoying.
15:07, Not alot of black people in NASCAR today. Looks like one of the mechanics packing up tools on the Petty team.
