They didn't have monitors like they would later in the 80s. Back then you might have had binoculars for that distance or just what you could see and the pressbox is almost a mile away at least going into turn 4. Probably never saw it and even at that point what monitor(s) you did have would have been delayed just because of distance from the camera to the truck and then back up and wireless wasn't real time for the in-cars either. The monitors they did have for field were 6-9" depending on the make and mostly black and white. Those monitors were still around in the late 80 and early 90s. They were at least color by the mid 80s. NFL nd MLB had many broadcasts up until the mid 80s that were called the same way. When MLB had their first HD broadcast, they made the announcers for that game use the tech from the 50s to that current point and they were shocked at what their 50s-80s counterparts had to deal with. Every inning or so they would advance in tech. I think they shot the "pre-game" on film if I remember correctly.
Yeah, the G-Body is a favorite form of NASCAR car from the '80s! My personal favorite G-Body happens to be the Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, specifically the 1986 and 1987 Aerocoupe. You remember the Aerocoupe, right? This was a fastback modification made to the Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS. The modifications include a further sloped rear window and a shorter trunk lid that sports a spoiler that lays flatter than the spoiler that one would find on an ordinary Monte Carlo SS. 200 Aerocoupes were built for the 1986 model year and an additional 6,000 were built for 1987. Personally, I actually have a Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe in my Hot Wheels collection. The casting depicting the Aerocoupe is known as the "Chevy Stocker". As the name suggests, it's a NASCAR Stock Car from the 1980s. There's no door lining on either side of the Chevy Stocker casting. NASCARs have their doors welded shut to better maintain the car's overall integrity in the event of a crash. The only way to get in and out of the car is to climb through the driver's side window.
Terry’s dashboard, above the sticker with the CBS logo, has “Hi Justin” scrawled on there. Man’s giving his kid a shout out on CBS. Terry always was a class act.

@@kyle381000 I remember races in the 80s where they had only one camera car, and if it wrecked, that was it, no more in-car footage for the rest of the race.
The first one was in Benny Parson's car at the 1979 Daytona 500. Cale Yarborough was the first driver to win with an in-car camera(1983 Daytona 500). During the race you could hear Cale making noises going through the turns.
More cams are interesting, sure. But usually they cut to the rear-bumper cam during wrecks exactly at the moment you want to keep looking forward to see what the driver sees
Station wagon must be hidden from view. All I saw was a Cadillac Ambulance, a couple of square body GMC trucks,and an old Ford Econoline ambulance pulled up.
You can plainly see Geoff Bodine turn thinking it was a road being down low in the car he couldn’t see that huge drop off into the people so he went for it and bam dead end there Geoff I like how the commentators tried covering blaming the whole thing on oil for him lol
Hobbs was great and had a much longer broadcast career but, I always thought Jackie Stewart lent a great deal of insightful analysis and enthusiasm. I always learned something when Jackie was on the mic.
In the 70's a guy was running across the infield to a crashed car but was hit and rag dolled over the the wrecker (he was killed instantly) that was hauling ass to same crash. It was really smokey or foggy, I've never been able to find any info, but it kinda haunts me .....

This comment is hilarious. You can see BEHIND the ambulance? That is where the station wagon is most likely. It clearly did not impact the ambulance, it never moved. LOL

@@NASCARWrecks1 yeah I could see how his wheels were cut that way with out any correction, and I could see how he failed to use his brakes. But all you can see is how he hit oil on the race track 1/2 mile back. You must have no idea about anything logical. Btw I see he hit no station wagon, I do see where he parked behind an ambulance.

Better than what FOX does now.
