For me Nascar was the most iconic and had the best cars from 1967 to 1989, maybe 2000. I fell away from it when I was taking care of my parents and then after my parents passed away so I can't really comment on how Nascar was from 1990 to 2000. However the 70's were so amazing and the cars were absolutely incredible!
i’ve committed to watching in order from ‘81 to ‘90, both Daytona and Indy. watching these races was a big deal in my youth, but luckily for me, I don’t remember who won in which years. So next for me is Indy from ‘82. 🏁 👍
I was there that day .Thanks to the USMC. Sat on pit wall. Got to see the Great Bobby Allison an American Hero show em how to get it done without your rear bumper. Uncle Sam bought my ticket . Epic
When drafting ruled. I enjoy watching the older races much more than the present era races. As far as this old boy is concerned, the France NASCAR glory days r gone forever while the DEI current era has gone to the dogs.
NASCAR has come a long way with track workers and safety personnel. The crews have also come a long way on pit stops, especially when they had to tighten 5 lug nuts.
*STORIES during the START of the 1982 NASCAR CUP SERIES* · The 1981/82 transfer market saw plenty of movement for the 2nd year in a row. Rudd got Dale's #3, Dale got Benny's #15, Benny got Bobby's #28 and Bobby got Rudd's #88. · Allison got a great start to the season when he won the 50-mile 13-car cautionless Clash over Terry Labonte · The front row for the Daytona 500 went for Parsons and Gant with Benny being the 1st driver to qualify at Daytona at over 196mph · Duel 1 didn't go too smoothly with 5 cautions and many damaged cars. The win went to Yarborough with Parsons finishing 4th. · Duel 2 went smoother (2 cautions) with Baker winning it with Gant only in 6th. · Among the non-qualifiers there were some interesting names like James Hylton, Don Whittington and future star Sterling Marlin.
One thing many don't remember is that this was Jim Stacy's second foray into NASCAR. He had bought Nord Krauskopf's K&K Insurance team in 1977, and even renumbered the car from 71 to 5 (which was likely a major reason why Jim Sauter used that number in this race and why, when Hendrick Motorsports began in 1984, their first car number was 5, as Harry Hyde was the crew chief when Stacy bought that team), and Neil Bonnett won twice that season in Stacy's #5 Dodges, including the final race for the Dodge Charger at Ontario Motor Speedway. Stacy would even run a second car in the Daytona 500 in 1978, in which Ferrel Harris scored a top 10 finish, but as would be the case with Petty Enterprises that year, had nothing but trouble with the Magnum. But they ran into problems for 1979, which coincided with the Wood Brothers' #21 car opening up for Bonnett, effectively resulting in the end of Stacy's first foray into NASCAR, though he would try to make the field for the Daytona 500 in 1980 and '81 in a couple of one-offs, but failed both times, once with Tom Sneva and the other time with Sterling Marlin. He then bought Rod Osterlund's championship team in 1981, but didn't care for Dale Earnhardt, and as a result, went through a couple of drivers until they put Tim Richmond in the car later in the '82 season, and won both races at Riverside. But Richmond left to join the team that Cale Yarborough had driven for, but which had been bought by Raymond Beadle, and Stacy hired Mark Martin for '83, but he fired him, even after some good runs, then hired Morgan Shepherd, only to fire him before selling the team to crew chief Robert Harrington, who failed to qualify for that year's Daytona 500 with Sneva, before that chapter of NASCAR history, full of Stacy's shady dealings, fortunately, and mercifully ended.
2:04:12 Hoss Ellington...he wasn't running nothing but 80mph LOL Baker had a good car but it messed the handling up on it. Bobby Allison really had the car though.
And right after that interview at 34:00, Billie Harvey and Gary Balough sent Mario Rossi to sleep with the fishes, and justice still hasn't been done, except for the fact Harvey is dead and no longer infecting this planet.
Cant wait to listen to this while im at work later today!
Rest in peace, Adam Petty 🙏
Glad to finally see a HQ upload of the full race.

Those announcers had a zeal to bring the best for viewers and an enthusiasm for the sport.
Rest in Peace Adam Petty you are missed

Dang, all the big hitters screaming around the high banks in this one.🍻
No Pearson
@benjamincline1187 yep, i agree. He must have been home relaxing, or that deal w/ his prior owner may have got to him.
Enjoyed seeing Lee Petty at the begining and Dale in the #15 car.
RIP Adam, you are missed... 🙏🙏
Rest-In-Piece Bobby Allison (1937-2024)
I forgot Dale Earnhardt drove a boxy bird for Bud Moore.
RIP Adam Petty that segment with all the Pettys was so sad to know that Adam never got to reach his potential😢
That kid crashed constantly before his death. To me, he didn't have it. The Pettys are a clown show.

I agree!

11:20 Ladies and Gentleman, Mr. Benny “The Poet In Pyjamas” Parsons 🙏🤘🤘
My father was at that first race in 1959....paid like 5 or 10 dollars for a Depalma tower seat, which was probably a good amount of money back then.
@32:17 "you better have a jolly good look before you yet there!"
Hobbs was the best.
@@gary24fanDavid Hobbs is like that character from Talladega nights that drove the ‘Perrier car’
34:13 everybody had that same feeling.

Tim Richmond didn't qualify also
1120 well spoken Benny RIP , Godspeed
All stars whos watching 2024 love these old races
I just returned from the future and watched it in 2028. You're welcome.
Some cars sound as if they’ve got 180 degree headers.
Watching on Adam Petty’s birthday today.
Benny's pants at 11:38 yeesh.
Well This Was 1982 And fashion hadn't caught up to the 80s
Ah, J.D. Stacy. Everyone's favorite grifter.
NASCAR has come a long way regarding track workers, and safety crews

@@cjs83172yep, right on the money
Ken was wrong. Kyle Petty won the 79 arca race a week b4 Richard Petty won the Daytona 500
Ken frequently was wrong
RIP Bobby Allison

This is and will be nascar. Today it's not worth watching..
I still watch,but I don't have a favorite anymore. All the ones I rooted for no longer races.
#BumperGate
This was a long race
Bumpergate
Stage racing ruined nascar
This
Well it sure hasn't helped
What happened to this nascar. Money,but,keep it American CARS and no power steering. See who can drive.
Brock Yates before the race: "Is Reaganomics working after all?"
No Brock...no it fricking didn't!!!
Was a hell of a lot better than the previous administration.
