Race highlights from The Glory Days hosted by Dave Despain. - Спорт
I must say these old races are far more interesting than today's, cool cars, cool drivers.
Dave Marcis makes his 1st Cup start here and wouldn't miss a Daytona 500 until the year 2000
Damn shame that we don't have a true "stock car " division these days.
⁰0ppp
We didn't back in 1968, either. You'd have to go back about 10 years before this.
@@almostfm Look at the 1968 rule book then come back and tell us how many times the words, "stock", "production" and "factory" are mentioned. Have fun!
Love the Mercury cyclones!!
It's remarkable that there weren't more pit fires with all that gas spilling out and red hot exhaust.
Weird they still had the glass windows in place. I love this era of NASCAR.
those are real cars .dude
AND they raced in STOCK cars! Crazy concept considering the Frankencars of today.
big ole Torino's & Cyclones
Bring them back! There are enough remanufactured replacement parts to have a fully supported classic stock car circuit.
Hi - just my humble opinion.. I would love to see that happen too but it's highly unlikely ...It would cost too much .. nobody wants to risk putting fully restored classic racecars on a racetrack - to wreck and possibly destroy.😱💥😢💦.. Painful to the heart and wallet
. 💸💸💸
the drivers today could not handle these cars
I was there seated 1st turn.
and that Plymouth 43 looks so cool man cowboy boots and a grin thats real living there
They even had the Door Handles on them, so cool fords ran strong!
Imagine this as a Roman Chariot race with each Chariot pulled by 500 horses... For 500 miles. I don't think so. This was the year my Late stepfather was black flagged during qualification. 289, 167.86 lap, 210 back.
They decided to "tech" him. "no way a 289 makes that power." They found 504 hp/9000 rpm. All season.
F.O.R.D.
First On Race Day!
4:33 a true racing team..
6:15 driver, mechanic and body shop manager...
A true motorsport competition
Back then they would only show the last fifteen laps of Daytona on Wide World of Sports
These are so freaking amazing, even if only highlights. LOL "Lee Roy Yarbrough, no relation." Cale's last name is spelled YARBOROUGH. But it was 1968, so........
427 baby!!!
Too bad that charger wrecked but it sure looked good doing it !
427 !
Today you will NEVER see a driver get out of his car, get on top of it, and start stomping on the roof to fasten it back in place. That will never happen today.
A couple of notes about this race. First, Dub Simpson made a bit of dubious history by becoming the first driver, and he remains the only driver to fail to complete a lap in any Daytona 500. He went out, either as the green flag dropped or on the very first lap with oil pressure problems.
And although not many people realized it, Al Unser's fourth place finish in this race, combined with his runner-up at the previous year's Indianapolis 500 was the foreshadowing of perhaps the greatest driver in IndyCar history when it comes to 500-mile races, and I believe that if he had gotten into a situation like A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti had with one of the top NASCAR teams, that Al Unser would probably have won the Daytona 500 at some point in his career, but the era of drivers from other forms of racing crossing over to run the Daytona 500, with a few exceptions (most notably, A.J. Foyt) was just about at an end.
Yeah,even the great Scottish ace Jim Clarke drove in a couple Grand National races. Mario,A.J., also drove with success in sports cars and prototype events like Sebring and LeMans. That's why they're still household names.
Petty was obviously trying an extreme nose down attitude for aerodynamics.
petty team knew how to cheat .his brother Maurece was a pro.
NASCAR was better then Wow!
étonnant , de voir THE KING travailler la taule
Oh ok I can see how rear of this Torino sits.i think they handle better this way instead of the rear sitting lower.
So it was Despain who started the 'Vinyl' Roof trolling.
The Ford and Chrysler wars of 68 and 69
Baker ran a Dodge Coronet at many tracks in 1968 - the Charger was a clunker aerodynamically. Petty was running a Plymouth Road Runner. They created the Charger 500 for 1969 - but it was not slick enough to beat the Torino Talladega and Cyclone Spoiler II (so then - Dodges and Plymouths grew a beak and wings).
My only question is where was nascar favorite brand Chevy no wear to be found oops now it's Toyota and nether could be stock and race.
King Richard .NASCAR let that guy cheat no matter what , ask Bobby Allison
awsome to see dick beatty and richard both up on the hood of his car
