And so, the legend of L.W. Wright was born.
What In Carnation? Ok
robert sanchez He’s the guy who scammed his way into this race and left the car and all the equipment there at the track and was never seen or heard from again
@@robertsanchez8132 ua-cam.com/video/8-RKlj5MPC4/v-deo.html
83 national 500
He only lasted 13 or so laps
The legend of L.W. Wright.
The G.O.A.T.
L.W. Wright.
On a side note, high horsepower, low down force=fantastic racing.
They found him
@@drivin379 I listened to the podcast. Dude is glad the statute of limitations has expired. Can't be charged now
he was a cocksucker for endangering people's lives. he didn't have better things to do than be a selfish manipulative lying con man???
Lies again? Baby Win Half Monthly Salary
The mad lad himself 8:26 also at 42:11

22:05 what a great repair. Jacked up the right side of the car, set the jack stand underneath the messed up bumper then drop the car off the jack so the bumper lands on the stand bending it back into place. Beautiful!
Nice catch!
I remember BumperGate in the 500, but forgot that he had issues at Talladega. Seems like the guy welding the bumpers should have been fired (or bonused). The Monte Carlo SS was the end of chrome bumpers in NASCAR.
I love the visual quality of this race so clearly and at Talladega of all Tracks
wonder if NASCAR published this because the infamous L. W. Wright made his first and only start in this race
duh lol
He started in Nashville too
@@drivin379 He did not qualify at Nashville.
Thought on scene vault he said he raced 2 races
Other being nash
The man, the myth, the legend; L.W. Wright!
This is the LW Wright race!
Yes it was
Yes sir. The '82 Winston 500 at Talladega. When Nascar was fantastic!
Everyone's talking about L.W. Wright (as they should), but let's also have a shout-out for J.D. Stacy, the crooked real estate man who would sponsor anywhere from 4 to 8 cars every race in the early '80s and then keep finding excuses to not pay the drivers or car owners the money they were owed. Nearly every team he got involved with would be in huge debt or out of business before 1990 no thanks to him.
Coal Miner
lol sounds like the World Football League....
Crooked coal mine
They found him a couple months ago
Shout out to Slapshoes for his upload on Stacey! I’m from the UK so knew nothing about him. Dodgy geezer!
What should be spotlighted are all the great short interviews with all the different drivers, to give them all character
1982: 2-3 car crash, car spins, debris on the track, no need for a caution. 2020: Car gets sideways, little bit of tire smoke, caution. My how things have changed.
2022: Competition caution after 30 laps
Ain't that the truth
This is where L.W. Wright became a legend of motorsport
This is the decade we have been waiting for! Thanks,NASCAR for the upload!
Great picture quality here....very impressive for a 40 year old race
The video quality is impressive. Thank you.
This is a great race from the early ESPN days, Love it!
Yeah with Bob Jenkins and Larry Nuber as the hosts and Dick Berggren calling from the Pits
Man that Pontiac LeMans had some good runs at Talladega and Daytona between 1981 and 1983.
22:01 probably the most insane I’ve ever seen in the pits
Man I miss BP
BP was a great competitor and An awesome ambassador for cup racing. Always a gentleman and a storyteller unmatched In racing..
Another interesting factoid regarding this race besides Benny Parsons' 200 MPH speed to start at the pole; the battle that saw DW hold off BP and Texas Terry for the win and the L.W. Wright mystery is that this was (especially for his later career) probably one of independent driver J.D. McDuffie's better finishes; finishing 18th.
yeah later in his career a top 20 was a good run for J.D. he scored his 106th and final top 10 in 1982.
This is when Nascar was cool.. Not just every car the same
Yeah, and two different Pontiac body styles in the same race. You'll never see that in today's Nascar.
I think Geoff Bodine is and was one of the best drivers out there, The man brought power steering into this sport. Always felt he was very competitive.
Not better than L.W
L.W. Wright wrote his own page in nascar history that day and nobody will ever be able to duplicate his accomplishment !!!!
My father was there.... he woke my mom up early that morning and briefly said "I'm going to talladega " an quickly left out the door an drove down from Charlotte lol.... just showed him the videos about lw wright
My dad went to this race as well, his only time there.
The start of Dale Earnhart Sr mastery of Talladega. Starts 20th in Bud Moore's brick and is running in the top 5 by lap 8 running 2nd by lap 16
And won his first Talladega race in the 83 Aero Bird the next year in the Talladega 500, and became the first back to back winner of the Talladega 500 in 84 in RCR's Monte Carlo SS.
> Enters NASCAR for fun
> Refuses to elaborate
> Leaves
That’s… surprisingly accurate…
LW Wright the great Nascar drive ever.
DB Cooper of nascar
DONUT sent me here.
Here because I caught that random special about LW Wright...but wow this was intense. Feels different than it is now.
Need listen to the scene podcast interview with Larry Wright this week
Came back to see L.W. Wright now that he’s come to light
I like how Geoff Bodine explained how he blew up his motor without realizing he did (burned piston running partial throttle)
Where is my boy L.W Wright? The last real racer from a time when men were men. He didn't need a HANS device or a soft wall. He would show those sissy boys in the field today what a real man looks like! ˢᵃʳᶜᵃˢᵐ ᵒᵇᵛᶦᵒᵘˢˡʸ
Big Juicy omg so funny
damn i still love those cars. Low,wide and small.
Who’s here after watching the Strange Case of LW wright
Me!
Yup. From donut
Not me. I'm here to see good Winston Cup racing. To hell with LW Wright.
Thanks NASCAR for the upload.
LW Wright brought me here
Would love to see that Dave Marcis Richmond win they mention on the broadcast uploaded!
It's been on UA-cam for many years, should be on here if you haven't seen it already.
Those engines sounded absolutely fantastic. I love those growls.
Growling engines>screaming engines
Nah the stock cars of the last 20 years have sounded perfect
at 1 time heartbeat of america.
This race was one week before I was born! All those fast Buicks!
Is this the one with L.W. Right?
Yes
Evan Nekula very cool
Wrong, it's Wright.
Gret race , and the quality of race or VHS of time is super ! sound and the image quality are so cool and the mysterie driver jajajaja WJ. Wright i think i will realised this driver with a racing champions diecast in the coming days
If your going to con your way into a cup race, might as well do it at the biggest track in the country!
I miss the days when NASCAR had guys named Benny, Darrell, Ricky, Terry, Geoff, Bill, Ron, Richard, and Dave
Riiight. Benjamin (benny) Rhodes, Darrell Wallace, Ricky Stenhouse jr, William (Bill) Byron, David Starr, David Regan, David Gilliland, Jeffrey Earndhart.
And L.W.
Had to come here and see the man the myth the legend aka LW wright
L W WRIGHT. What a legend.
What I wouldn't give for a L.W. Wright Talladega T-shirt.
I know LW Wright is the story, but man, did Ron Bouchard sound like Cliff Clavin from Cheers or what?
I'm 100% racing as Slick Johnson this year.

*POINT STANDINGS and WINS before the 1982 ALABAMA 500 (9 of 30):*
#44 Terry Labonte (1235 points, GM)
#11 Darrell Waltrip (-80 with 3 wins, GM)
#28 Benny Parsons (-101, GM)
#33 Harry Gant (-113 with 1 win, GM)
#88 Bobby Allison (-139 with 1 win, GM)
#15 Dale Earnhardt (-199 with 1 win, Ford)
#98 Morgan Shepherd (-206, GM)
#43 Richard Petty (-216, GM)
Dave Marcis (10th with 1 win, GM #71) is doing better than in the past couple of seasons. Jody Ridley (Ford #90 in 14th) is not really up to speed so far but is improving. Ricky Rudd (GM #3 in 16th) had several DNFs in the first few races so he’s well down in points. Cale Yarborough (GM #27) won the Carolina 500 despite aiming to only race around half of the season.
Drivers listed are the season's current top8, last season's top8 plus whatever race winner that doesn't fit any of those 2 descriptions. Yes, I’m using the unsponsored names of the races. In Talladega’s case, the Spring race is the Alabama 500 while the later one is the Talladega 500.
I think the 28 car driven by Benny Parsons is the same car Cale won the 83 Daytona 500
The days when NASCAR was a fun sport and not a corporate business
L.W. Wright on the left side of the screen at the 13 second mark.
L.W. Wright!!
Get rid of restrictor plates!!! Just let em run
L.W. WRIGHT LET'S GO HE'S THE BEST NASCAR DRIVER
L.W. Wright
They FOUND LW WRIGHT ON
SCENE PODCAST INTERVIEW
This race cost Benny Parsons his ride. He was out before the next race.
He Was Out of Ride At Pocono In '82
Back when racing was racing.
I’m so baked that this became wonderful television.
L. W. Wright is my hero
Rip larry
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸thanks from John Robert Bruffett Junior of United States of America
We need the days of run what ya brung, no Restrictor plates!!!
Hey all coming here from the newest Up To Speed!
Thanks to Donut Media and James for letting me know L.W Wright this strange man.
He just lied his way into a NASCAR race and after the race he just gone like dust... He probably die and wasn’t alive today on 2021.
Edit in 2022: THEY FOUND L.W WRIGHT REAL NAME LARRY WRIGHT!!! GO TO “THE SCENE VAULT” CHANNEL TO SEE HIM!!!
Digging Bob Jenkin's 'fro.
And listen closely to the guys up in the booth. They actually "call" the race instead of today they do a bunch of "race hub" talk of nonsense!
But it's the same for all sports on TV.
Yea, I don't know about that. I heard a ton of commentary during this broadcast that had nothing to do with what was happening on track. But also there was no timing and scoring broadcast back then. If they weren't constantly telling you where everyone was, you'd have no idea what was happening.
I cant be the only one who noticed lolcow and slick johnson were also in the field that day
Rest in Peace LW Wright, you absolute legend.
Bob Jenkins lookin like my man Boris Said 🤣
We are all here for one reason
And that man got found
*GOOD TIMES*
Where could this L.W. Wright be now since he should be locked up in the big house for defrauding his way to a NASCAR ride claiming to be a veteran of the sport. What would happen to him if he's found?? What else is this "veteran" notoriously known for aside from coming out of nowhere to the sport?
Nothing would happen. Statute of limitation on the fraud(s) would have run out years ago.
Lol he’s probably made that money back for NASCAR with his story
Was this the first live race coverage for a Talladega race?
here before a certain individual complains about the chase again...
Steve Miller I know
Same
The Dale and Darrell show
17:17, LW Wright's black flag
Lw Wright was arrested in February of 2023
❤
ty
I'n not complaining, but this was way before nascar was ruined by all the chase stuff.
What is wrong with Chase? He's a good driver and people are allowed to talk about him. Why do you keep whining about the kid?
Devin C, wrong Chase my guy😂
He means THE chase, as in today’s format
@@dngnascar oh, the PLAYOFFS. Chase for the Cup. Not Chase Elliot. Okay, okay.
Oh boy here you are again ranting about how the chase is so bad but in reality it is better
@@monacoGP11 not really I started watching NASCAR in 04 the first year of the Chase so I don't know how things were before the problem I have with it is they changed the rules to much it was 10 racers make the chase then after Jr and Gordon didn't make it in they changed it to 12 drivers now it's 16 drivers next thing will be 25 drivers
Nascar in the early 80s........ Talladega. And, BOB JENKINS? (nice hair btw). Works for me.
So Bud Moore was a car owner and crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Sr
Yeah he drove a Ford once upon a time.
I’m here to see 43
Dude, at 2:23:20 guy bashing the spoiler down flat to get it less drag.
I can remember J.D. Stacy had 12 cars in certain races and still didnt win...He must have never heard it was about quality, not quantity
Dude just wanted his name on everything.
His sponsored cars had a total of 4 wins in 126 races.
1985 the Winston 500 Nascar please?
Wasn't broadcasted originally.
@@03dktart no but they have it in its entirety you can buy it off goggle
L.W Wright was missing in 1982
is this the only footage? is there any of #34 driving poorly?
You know what’s sad my state Maine has had only one cup driver and that driver is Ricky craven as matter of fact my grandfather he’s 78 he has a lot Ricky craven memorabilia
The one year Earnhardt drove a Ford Wrangler 15 and switched the next year with Ricky Rudd to drive the 3 Childress car.
He drove the Bud Moore #15 Ford for the 1983 season also. 1984 was when he moved back to the Childress team.
Got my man LW Wright and they found him a couple months ago
There needs to be one less phoenix race but i love the rqcing here.
32.45 CALE WALTRIP?
Who is here from the Dounut media video?
Hmm. Single file for a good majority of the race. Those Good old days weren't much different from today after all.
a lot different. todays pace lap race. stinks.
What are you talking about? There was a ton of passing and many lead changes in this race.
L.W Wright was the real winner 🏆 of this Race. Great story🤣🤣🤣
