Junior Johnson must’ve been pissed seeing Darrell win at Hendrick
If memory serves me right. DW compared driving Juniors and Hendrick cars as like driving a chevy to a Cadilac.
sounds like he wasnt a pleasant guy to work for... on the other hand it sounds like DW Was using the deal Hendrick offered him to try to goad Junior into giving him a raise
@@elisamaria3628 and he said Junior told him to take that deal
@@elisamaria3628 he was loyal to you if you were loyal back
Martinsville is sort of _That track_
“I shot into Terry, He shot into Dale, and I shot into the lead.”
Revenge on Dale for Richmond 86 as well as Junior Johnson Racing for self sabotage at Atlanta 9 months later
This was an emotional win for DW. He has told this story before. His first daughter was born in 1987. On the morning of this race, there was a flower in a vase and a note that said, ''Win this one for me daddy'' inside the seat of Darrell's car.
How on earth can a child write that before the age of like 5 lmao.
If she was born in 87, and this race being in 87. The math ain’t mathin.
@@xkclearly666 obviously his wife wrote the note..... parents of babies and toddlers do that all the time
In addition to NASCAR, SETN was also in talks with both CART & F1 to air a few races from both of those series. However with F1, the deal was nixed once Bernie Ecclestone found out that SETN would be airing races on tape delay & felt as though sticking with live races on ESPN was the better option in terms of growing F1 in the US. Then with CART, they rejected the SETN deal because they did not want to anger both NBC & ABC (both of which aired CART races at the time) & potentially lose network TV revenue. The failure to get these two deals along with ESPN taking the lions share of motorsports content & poor cash flow are what ultimately killed SETN in 1988.
Every source I found said that SETN also did IHRA events too, and promoters were concernd about gate receipts being hurt by live events as well
you'd think with the amount of european races in f1, broadcasting the races on delay in the US would be fine, timezones and all that
The 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aero Coupe was so beautiful! When I think of a NASCAR stock car I think of this car.
I was there! Couldn't hear for a week from ears ringing. That place is Loud!
Learned that lesson when I went in the fall of '21!
That's just Racin' The Way It Ought'a Be at Martinsville In My Eyes! (The Finish)
Last lap is fair game. DW bump and run on Earnhardt and T. Labonte, DW sly winning that day.
And this is why Martinsville will always be legendary (or notorious)
2K5 music I hear
OG's know about the "My Crib" music from the game!
mr lif pull out your cut is the song from espn nfl 2k5
SETN wasnt a television "network." They were a production company (founded by Pat Patterson i believe) that would syndicate the races to individual TV channels. Like here in Atlanta, they were shown on WUPA Channel 69, which was independant of ant network affiliation.
This is controversial???... 1986 Richmond says "Hi." 😆
Also I wonder how you'd cover the 2006 Nashville Truck race then _(If it ever gets uploaded in full)._
Darrell Waltrip Beat Dale Earnhardt 1987 September Martinsville Speculator Finished Thanks For Uploading
1986 Richmond Redemption for DW
Speaking of which Please do a story on that said race
Keep doing videos like this. This is your bread and butter with the commentary and back story in your own words 🤘
This is the first time I've heard of Terry Labonte driving for Junior Johnson
It feels kinda wrong in a way
See, races could be mostly boring in the past.
Earnhardt pouts when its done to him ! Lmao
That was a very enjoyable litte story
was that the goody's 500 of '87?
New meme format
@@lukelyall5879 the bite of 87 meme has been around for a bit
@@vollrathfgc I know but for nascar fans whenever someone mentions 1987 instead of the bite of 87 it’s the goodys 500 of 87
I think this race should be a NASCAR classic.
That's the first I have heard of that Network. And I have been watching the sports since the mid 80s. And these fans complain about the TV contract now. LOL
5:05 = typical low IR driver on iRacing lol.
Terry was the most consistent driver of all time.
I hear ESPN NFL 2K5 Crib music in the background.
Nobody:
NFL 2K5 crib fist punching you in the face 👊🏽
@@BlackFlagsMatter I played that game religiously back when I was younger.
@@BlackFlagsMatter Great video btw
Yes! More NASCAR history videos like this one please!!!
Doesn't seem very controversial 🤷♂️ Terry forced his way down, got bumped, then bumped Dale. It's on Terry
Whether they want to admit it or not, TIM RICHMOND was the beat driver of all time. When he was in the mix, Earnhardt lost a LOT of races to Tim. If it wasn't for his man hoe'n, he would of been the GOAT
"Terry got a little sideways, and I bumped him, and that was that!"
Got the order mixed up there, big guy. You "bumped" him, and then he got a "little" sideways. But a bump into the rear quarter of a car is also known as the precision immobilization technique. The fans want to see drama so nothing was going to be done to curtail this behavior.
NOOO TERRY NOOO WHYYY!!!!
Hello
Man those were good looking cars!
Dude let’s call it like it was. Dale drove Terry into the infield numerous times, when Terry tried the top Dale fenced him. Typical Earnhardt, glad he didn’t win above all.
Is it just me or does Martinsville always look SUPER wide in all these old telecasts? Did they take a lane or two away when they reconfigured pit road?
Some of the best racing imo was the 80’s and 90’s. I don’t think I missed a single race. Remember this one well.
Back when racing was racing.
Back when racing was boring. Start and parks existed. 3 cars on the lead lap. 4th place 20 laps down. That wasn't racing, that was back when you could get away with running a big block and still credited with the win.
@@GiveMeLibertyOrGiveMeDeath147 You are entitled to your opinion, but you are wrong. The racing now is boring. What are you talking about? It is the same three or four teams winning almost every race now. Back in the 80s, most teams had one or two cars at most. Now, there are four cars for some teams. The big block? Do you mean the engine? They still had to be within the rules.
@@ak102986 next gen racing on short tracks sucks, on 1.5 tracks its the best I've seen in a long time. Old nascar was some boring shit, literally the same 4 teams winning, hardly any cars on the lead lap, start and parks. Straight up awful. The only thing better from that era was super speedway racing. Short tracks sucked back then too, single lane and can only pass if you moved the car in front of you.
@@ak102986it's a fact, you can't have 3 people dommenating the race while 40 other drivers get lapped, nah not a race.
@@Kamik62 So, what do you call it when there were only five or so cars on the lead lap at Atlanta and that was only a few years ago? Or when the leader is so far out in front/ahead that the TV is not even showing them?
Also, that is not a fact. There have been many modern races that were also dominated by either a single car or a handful of cars.
Its an exciting Martinsville finish, but where is the controversy?
Marty Robbins
If dale hadn't run terry up into the wall, dale would've won
Empty Jay would have thrown a whole temper tantrum because they didn't let him win. They can't all be greats. Does Bass Pro Shops sell pacifier binkies?
DW earned that one!!!!
Irrespective... That was a race full of champions!!
