Wow, they went through the rear of the field to let us know most of the back markers. Never see that anymore and it's been a long time since it happened.
1:26:04 Ned (to Rusty Wallace) "Rumors are that you met with Roger Penske" Wallace: "Rumors are just that, rumors" For 1990, Rusty re-signs with Blue Max Racing for that season, but signs a 5-year sponsorship deal with Miller Beer...In 1991 Wallace and Penske create Penske Racing South
Boy that was a bad accident thank goodness Greg sacks was okay must have been the way he hit to spread out the impact. If he'd just come to a sudden stop it could have been devastating.
Probably the way the boiler plate gave on impact helped mitigate the force of the hit. If that had been concrete, it would've been ugly. As it was, Lake Speed broke or separated his shoulder in that one
That was a famous car for Gant!! I'm pretty sure he won the June 1990 Pocono race in that car! A lot of drivers named their cars/chasis back then. Davey Allison, Rusty Wallace, Jeff Gordon etc. had some famous named cars that they ran for years at certain tracks.
Amazing five different body’s and all running in the top five. You listening nascar! Enough with the cookie cutter cars on cookie cutter tracks! And check out handsome Harry driving with no gloves. P.S. l miss Benny
@@GearheadGeisha The way you worded your comment, though, made it sound like you were either clueless or sarcastic. It was hard to tell. I see you understand a sudden impact is much worse than a barrel roll, however. We can all agree on that.
Michigan still had a steel guardrail down the back stretch in 1989. Different era! Pocono had concrete in the turns for 1990 and around the entire track in 1991.
As I sit here (Nov 13th of 2021) having just watched this Pocono Cup race from 1989, I just have to say to Chocolate Meyers NO, NO, NO! The Racing today IS NOT BETTER than it was "back in the day"!! 😒 Look, I get "The Nascar Media Pushers" of today, which Mr Meyers is a member of, feel it's their job to pump up their product, but just stop blowing smoke up my skirt & tell'n me it's from a Forrest fire! 🤨 Don't get me wrong, today's Nascar Racing is good, sometimes Great, but it was just as Great & sometimes even Greater back then, I have eye's too Chocolate 😉
No but he had a different front clip I belive he had either a short track clip or a road course clip.basicly samethhing jus cut out a lil different for brake coolers an radiator openings. I noticed bill ran that clip alot in 89
one of the best races from a year full of great ones.
I really appreciate these old races. Thanks for putting these up. I really miss the old days of NASCAR.
This is so Boss Ass
Thanks For All the post’s...
Pocono had some of the hardest hits.
Reminds me Of ARCA Races at Atlanta lol
Damn sure has ask Jeff Gordon.
Bobby Allison ended his career in a crash there
Thanks for adding all these races man!
I agree!
AWESOME BILL! Crank up the Dawsonville fire siren! :-D
Wow, they went through the rear of the field to let us know most of the back markers. Never see that anymore and it's been a long time since it happened.
Imo, this was the most dangerous track they went to. 3 fast straightaways and 3 different corners. You don't want to lose your brakes here
Those cars looked so good
It’s amazing how much better nascar racing was before they had so many rules

Rusty wasn't getting paid on time by raymond beadle. actually sued beadle claiming breach of contract.
Greg Sacks is a good dude.
Thank goodness that Greg Sacks was ok after slamming the wall head on
All them wonderin how Kyle lost 40 pounds like they don’t know what really happened cause everyone did it🤦♂️
The angle of that Lake Speed/Greg Sacks crash was really bad. Those kind of wrecks could kill you pretty easily in that era.
Amazing that Bill would win this after having to pit before Lap 1 ends.
I went to Racing Reference as soon as Elliott pitted thinking he'd have a bad day. I was wrong LMAO
Great looking cars.😎
They fought the wall and the wall won.
Damn if this wouldn't have happened to earnhardt at the end imhe would've won his 8th in 94

Kyle just did what every earl NASCAR driver did - he took the spare & the jack out of the trunk!😄
2:17:13 is the wreck shown
Thank you
37:52 - Tim Richmond was quite ill at this point, and he went on to pass away about three weeks later.
it's sad
18:08 Gant has an ALF sticker in the car? Damn.

Me too. BP was the Madden of NASCAR announcers!!!
Me too and me too.
Shut up boomer
NED JARRETT for PRESIDENT
@@jamesgentry13 People still saying "boomer"? Hilarious.
1:27:15 YOU SILLY WABBIT
😂😂😂
Better mascot than Digger
Anyone know if there's a story behind or if anything came from Kyle Petty's weight issue during inspection?
Ironically, wasn't his crew chief the guy that went on to be head of rules committee??? Gary Nelson
Good thing they have the safer barrier at Pocono instead of that boilerplate wall
@@chrissnyder3430 Gary Nelson had a reputation for being slick and dirty bending the rules
@@jamesgentry13 which is exactly why I believe NASCAR offered him the job. They knew he was one of the best at it so if ya can't beat em........ lol
If you ain't "cheatin' ", you ain't tryin'!! LOL
Lake Speed would miss the next 5 races as a result of his accident
You’d think it would have been Speed checking on Sacks, especially if you lack understanding on how physics work!
Sudden stop vs flip... the sudden impact crash is way worse than the flipping one. Sounds like you should retake physics
@@jamesgentry13 That was exactly my point... That while the flip tends to look more frightening, it's really the sudden stop that does the damage.

Back In The Day At Pocono.Why Was There A Boiler Plate Wall?
Because it wasn’t 2021
Michigan still had a steel guardrail down the back stretch in 1989. Different era! Pocono had concrete in the turns for 1990 and around the entire track in 1991.

Was Elliot driving an older Ford Thunderbird????
No but he had a different front clip I belive he had either a short track clip or a road course clip.basicly samethhing jus cut out a lil different for brake coolers an radiator openings. I noticed bill ran that clip alot in 89
The hell kinda walls did they have at Pocono?
Steel boiler plate lol
2:17:07
Nascar Drivers: What is a Pit exit line?
Cant a guy loose 40lbs? It was an accident. I wont do it again, ever...
If the wall was concrete that would not have ended well...
6:38 race start
