David Pearson, The Silver Fox, bless his heart & memory 🙏 That Man (as my late great Father would say) must have been one hellava farmer, cause he sho'nuff spread alotta manure around! 😆 So many, all of them really, are/were living legends & Men like that simply can not be replaced, thank the Lord there are videos like these so they can still be watched & enjoyed by later generations. It's really too bad Richard Petty wasn't there, Dale Inman & Maurice Petty also. RIP to all that have gone on ✝️
The bondy long stories are gold too! Especially the one with him going to the accountants office to pick up his 150$ expense check which was quite a bit of cash back then and sees a guitar at a pawn shop he likes and spends the whole damn thing on that guitar!!!😂😂 then Cale bails him out of a speeding ticket because he didn’t have 20 dollars on him!!! So few months go by and bondy leaves a 20 dollar sack of Pennie’s on cales porch to pay him back with😂😂 little stories like that are hilarious to me
My favorite finish has to be the1974 Firecracker 400. Pearson lets off the gas, suckers Petty into passing him with one lap to go, falls about 300 yds. behind, catches right back up and passes Richard just before the finish line to take the checkered flag. Classic finish!
This series is priceless. Great stories from drivers, announcers, everybody. Just imagine today's drivers telling stories like these, although DW would be older, Mike Joy would be host, and everybody would be picking on Jimmie.
so glad you uploaded this , sadly so many of these greats are gone now...I love stock car auto racing but I much prefer listening to these guys and watching old races on UA-cam than watching the current season races every sunday.. Sad commentary on the current state of the sport
I love listening to all these legends. Red Farmer is living history. His stories are priceless. Red l would bet he has raced more laps in races car than any one. He would race anything, modified, late models, sportsman, go cart, NASCAR. He is the man !
Dick Brooks is a good story teller. Junior Johnson seems too humble to loosen up, but I bet he has some classics he could tell. These guys are a joy to listen to. Vintage NASCAR is gone forever in my opinion and the TV ratings and attendance show it. 🤔
I know I'm very late finding this video series ya posted, but I sure do appreciate it. Good stuff. I wish they would've talked more about "their little engineering tricks" to gain an edge over everyone else. Thank you!!!

My god it’s almost illegal having this many legends together
Best quote was Marcus talking about Junior The cows didn’t even lift their heads up I’m still laughing
yes stories you could listen to all day and new get tired of hearing them

"They don't call him the Silver Fox for nothing"
OH my goodness Buddy Baker soooo funny
Red farmer is a legend

LOT of talent in that room. True Legends of the sport.
Look at the respect for Coo Coo

Great stories, amazing legends of NASCAR!
I can not believe they didnt bring up Smokey Yunick when they were talking about cheating
when race car drivers where real men.
