I wouldn't say exactly stock. But very close and a heck of a lot closer than today. Now you can't buy anything on a Nascar from the dealership not even the sticker's lol 👍✌️
Now that is a stock car, so primative looking inside the cockpit, compared to todays stock cars. You can see how they could, and did get hurt a lot easier back in the day.
I remember my dad taking me to bristol races in late 1970's and seeing Dale sr driving the blue and yellow wrangler sponsored race car. Him an Darrell Waldrip in that Gatorade green and white race car were swapping paint all race.
seeing the old #2 is like his old men old car Dale SR had back into the days before his had it too, like his and his dad was get to race it too, thinking i saw his dad happy too, 🌋🏕
Dang, a classic NASCAR racer, back when it really was NASCAR! So cool seeing Dale Jr ride one of his father's old school cars before the iconic black one.
@@soapmacktavish972THAT RACE CAR IS DEFINITELY NOT A BUICK REGAL ITS A GENUINE CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO FROM 1979!!!!!!!!! THATS NOWHERE BEING CLOSE TO A BUICK REGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sure that this will become one of his prized possessions and makes him feel close to his father when he’s in or around it. What an amazing gift to an amazing driver/person with in my opinion a father that is a legend and the best nascar driver ever.
Really awesome of Talladega to do that for JR. As a North Carolinian I rest well knowing some of the very best in Nascar history have came from NC as well. It means something especially when North Carolina has nothing else to root for lol ✌️👍
@@johnathonburrell9265 Ah man, I really wanted to see him drop it so bad. Had the volume up and everything. But then i realized the best part is hearing jr laugh... That got me 😂 ❤💯
TO THINK BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THE DRIVER'S WHEELED THESE BIG OLE CARS WITH SEATS OUT OF VANS MODIFIED FOR RACING, HALF THE ROLLBARS OF TODAY'S CARS, AND LOTS OF PLAY IN THE STEERING BOX.....MAKES YOU REALIZE THESE WERE REAL MEN. SURE MISS DALE IN THE WORST WAY.
Wonder what jr felt about actually racing in it ! Just think that car and original motor could pull out and pass today’s car probably not in a turn tho !
Talladega: Imagine today's drivers walking out to their cars and they go to step into them only to see the inside guts of this car like some sort of time warp but the outside looks like today's cars. That would be a nice dirty trick huh?
To the one person who commented whether these cars compete with the new cars technically they could but most newer drivers wouldn't know how to handle these type cars the only ones that would have an idea or the dirt track drivers driving these cars or something of a bygone error
Although I became an avid NASCAR fan since the very first televised race, I'm having a hard time remembering the year that NASCAR passed the rule to eliminate big block motors & forced the teams to switch to small blocks with a maximum of 358 cu in. I also don't know the exact year this race car was originally built & raced. 1979? '80? So I was wondering if this car has a big block, or small block.
This is a Chevrolet, in 1979 dale ran buick and Oldsmobile at Talladega and Daytona. He also did in 1980. Lot of people don't know this but it's a fact. Look it up.
That’s the way those HURST COMPETITION PLUS shifters were setup back in the late 70’s. All of the NASCAR racing transmissions were Borg-Warner T-10 4speed transmissions back then.
I know what his dad brought to the racetrack and he is rightly a legend and honored member of racing legends. That being said, Dale Jr might be a wonderful person but he was not a good driver and never did anything noteworthy other than win Daytona and make a few wrangler and mt.dew commercials
Back when stock cars were stock, look at that smile on Jr
I wouldn't say exactly stock. But very close and a heck of a lot closer than today. Now you can't buy anything on a Nascar from the dealership not even the sticker's lol 👍✌️
You right about that these new cars look and run like shit
Ain't nuthin stock about a stock car
Amen!
Well, he is riding his father's first season car.
That big ole smile
Reminds me of someone !!!
Dale your Dad’s in there with you! The car looks awesome! One almost forgets just how big those old cars were compared to the race cars of today.
Alabama loves ya Junior!
the old 2 car his dad Dale SR had back into the days before his was born , why not it is with his dad Dale SR had be with him now, good bay Dale SR
Now that is a stock car, so primative looking inside the cockpit, compared to todays stock cars. You can see how they could, and did get hurt a lot easier back in the day.
White Knuckle racing... the best kind
When Nascar drivers were still real men. Not 5'4" soyboys
And look at that old school smile on his face.
He knew Dale was watching him.
Wow. There is a memory. I worked for Terry Labonte during those days. Hated that car back then but love it now.
LOVE THIS YOUNG MAN AND HIS DAD GOOD TO SEE HIM REMEMBERING THE INTIMIDATOR. #3 REST WITH THE ANGELS SMILING TONIGHT WITH THE STARS.

I wouldn’t be able to contain myself. 1ST GEEEEEEAAAARRR 2ND GEEEAAARRR.....
It’s geared too high to do that for this track… I tried it… lol
Haven't seen that car in a bit loved them old Monte Carlos !
My car of choice when I raced on 3/8 oval dirt tracks. Love that body style.
Those are Buick reagals they look like Monte Carlos but that’s a Buick
They used the olds 442s and cutlasses on the big tracks expect the 79 Dayton 500

David Pearson was the best.
@@johnlaws9853 that’s why I said in my opinion. If you asked 50 fans who the best driver was you’d probably get 25-30 different answers.
Your all wrong. Neil bonnet or cale Yarbrough or or Richard petty are much better
@@edwardnulton7228 true statement
That was AWESOME! Im so glad he took a lap with it! Wish he'd gotten on it, for another one too!
Wow that sounds good...
Glad I was there too see this is was badass watching Dale Jr drive that car around dega
Too cool. Wish he opened it up more 💯
They probably didn't give him a helmet so he wouldn't lol
That’s gotta be a really really cool feeling!
Really awesome of Talladega to do that for JR. As a North Carolinian I rest well knowing some of the very best in Nascar history have came from NC as well. It means something especially when North Carolina has nothing else to root for lol ✌️👍
Great to see theses vintage race cars prowling on tracks.
Love to see more of them and their drivers. 👍🇺🇸🏁
Me living on Orlando, I would go to Daytona alot to watch Dale race
I sure miss those days. My favorite driver was Dale Earnhardt Sr and he was the best driver in my book and no one else will replace him.
What an awesome gift!
I would like to drive that to work one day. 25 miles on I-10. Goodyear to Phoenix.
Now that's a proud son ...
That is so COOL to see JR in his Dad's true grassroots Race Car. Thanks for this video jars a lot of great memories. 🤗
I'm so happy for you June bug.Your a class act forever a Earnhardt fan 3# 8# 88
That's BADASS
Just imagine him in his racing suit ripping that thing round the track.
I'm bout positive he wanted to do it as well
@@johnathonburrell9265 Ah man, I really wanted to see him drop it so bad. Had the volume up and everything. But then i realized the best part is hearing jr laugh... That got me 😂 ❤💯
Awesome
Jr is a cool dude.
That's what cars sounded like before restricter plates
Dad was riding with him on the passenger side
I wonder who's trailer he pulled by and was laughing out of joy with
When NASCAR had relevance to both fans and factories. It will never be as good as it was.
Bad ass right there......and I STAY LISTENIN TO THE DANG DALE JR DOWNLOAD!
Stopped watching NASCAR after Sr. Passed... He Was NASCAR!
Must be nice I got a thank you when I retired
Nice
Cool car,history right there, seems bit light under the hood,congrats!!
This is so cool.
The only thing longer than the hood on that Monte Carlo was the bill on that white hat……………………………
Where's the REED Cams sticker?
Anyone else they'd be hollering safety but the entitled one hangs his arm out the window. Hahaha.
Back when it wasn't just sheet metal and a roll cage
That, my friends, is a real Nascar stock car.
I couldn’t have said it any better myself!!!!!!!!!😊❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
8 people must be jeff Gordon fans
I was waiting for him to open it up a little bit
How cool is that?
Dales got the suit from this race his dad wore
The pass in the grass.
I wanted to see him open it up
Cool
Super dope
BAD ASS
Good to see a non cookie cutter car.
Where's the legendary black 3 car?

What engine was in the bay??!! Sounds damn good 😂
A 358 cubic inch Chevrolet small block!!!!!!!!!

Take the radios out of the car that would find out who can really drive. Only spotter has one way radio for safety.
Lvv.that.car..he..does..2
Nice red shoes buddy.... hope that's a coincidence.
O THE LONG BODY!!!!
2 for Jr. ?
I’d be, give me a helmet I’m goin for it!
Only time you will see Jr ever drive a Ford.
THAT RACE CAR IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT A FORD !!!!!!!!!!!! ITS A 1979 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO FOR GODS SAKE!!!!!!!!!

It’s a 358 Chevrolet small block. In 1975 is when NASCAR switched from BIG BLOCK engines to SMALL BLOCK engines.
@@toddrobbins392 Damn, I thought it was several years after that. Thanks for the info.
he got something from his dad
The only time I know this car is when Dale Earnhardt drove it in the 1979 Daytona 500.

How is a "LOAN" A gift??
Since it was a “PERMANENT LOAN” he got to keep it FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
what the hell does permanent loan mean.. you either gave it to him or didn't..
IT MEANS EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS !!!!!!!!! IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM!!!!!!!! PLAIN & SIMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm droppin the hammer! No yo not!
I know they really never shift but good God the shifter throw on that car is looooooong

Who are the Three "BUTT PIRATES" that Thumbs-Down this???
How the f*** did anybody survive any kind of crash back in the day with those cars?
Experience and above all luck
@@jackthorton10 especially when you think that the cars today really aren't that much faster than those cars.
Also those cars were much larger. Many got hurt in them but ran the next race regardless.
Cars were made from tougher material then. Love older cars myself. I'd drive that Monte with pride :)
It looks big and slow as hell now compared to to today's cars
Probably a fair bit faster in actuality
Why red shoes???? Who wears red shoes??
Who doesn’t ???
I wear red shoes, and NJPW referee Red Shoes wears red shoes.
Dale does...that's who.
Confident people wear red shoes.
Or folks that don't give a f**k, like me.
The Angels, The Angel's want to wear my red shoes.
Death on 4 wheels. Cool ass car....but death ☠️☠️💀 on 4 wheels.
JR = HOMEWRECKER...... KINDA LIKE ON THE TRACK I GUESS. HE'LL NEVER BE A FRACTION AS GOOD AS HIS DAD WAS. RIP SR.
I stopped watching nascar the day restrictor plates were mandatory....that's not racing..
