Cameraman would be fired today because of the weak woke SJW world we live in now. We are screwed after 1/20/21. I have faith though MR Trump will regain his throne in 2024
No Plymouths in this race. Petty had shelved his uncompetitive Dodge Magnum in 78 leaving Buddy Arrington and a few others independents to run Chrysler. Should have mention Mercury as Neil Bonnett, Bill Elliott, & Ricky Rudd ran the 1976 Cougar.
Yeah, I don't think NASCAR being stock has anything to do with the racing quality, my example being the late 90s. The main problem with modern NASCAR in my opinion is the format of the races.
Wow. That lap after lap after lap battle between Cup Rookie Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty was just a Prelude of Things To Come... and had me hanging on my seat even today, some 40 something years later... amazing racing in what are now antique cars.... that's an example of the best it's ever been! Wow.
Uh, no. A lot of us love watching these vintage races. I watched this race when I was 12, and it's awesome to be able to watch the whole race again at 56!
My dad would take me with him to my grandfathers house on sundays we would sit on the porch eat cantaloupe or watermelon and listen to the race on MRN radio...things sure have changed!!
Not really! When I was a boy, my Brother, Mother and I traveled to Quebec and on a nice sunny day my Grand Father fed me sugar cane dipped in raw sugar still in the sack; and boy was that SWEET!!!! on another sunny day my Mother drove us to a small dirt track in the bottom of this big hole. Stock Cars were racing around this small little dirt oval. Some things never change, we just need to be reminded.....now and again.
I had an uncle in Alabama who loved NASCAR and remember traveling with Dad to Talladega and watching the races. Where a lot of people bond with their dad over hunting or fishing this was the bond for us that lasted until his death. I miss him , first as a father and as my best friend
Amazing upload. Great to see the MRN broadcast synched so perfectly with the TV satellite feed. Felt like a genuine live broadcast. Suddenly I crave Shoney's :P
I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying these videos. I was born in '68 ... and my parents weren't race fans at all. We lived in the upper Midwest ... where all I had was ABC's Wide World of Sports. Sometimes. This gives me a chance to watch all-time greats and races I never got to see growing up. Tremendous idea laying the MNR broadcast over the action also. All-time greats represented there also :)
Jack Arute, Eli Gold, Mike Joy, Ned Jarrett on pit road and Barney Hall, the smoothest host/anchor/traffic director in race commentary history, running the show. As great a historic document as the video footage is, I almost found it distracting. This is the '27 Yankees and '85 Bears of nascar commentary teams.
Growing up in the early 80's in North Carolina I listened to many races on MRN on the radio. Many were not on TV back then. They really did a good job. Listening to this is like going back to those times.
The guys calling this race... Barney Hall, Mike Joy, Ely Gold, Ned Jarrett and ( Jack Arute too I think ).... A broadcasters Hall of Fame group if there ever has been one calling one singular race.
@@alvinwagner6745 Stages. I don't really agree with them, they completely destroy the flow of the races, plus those dumb competition cautions. But the way the points go, and the playoffs, stages are important now.
2:30:00 (or whereabouts), who ever thought they'd be able to watch Dale Earnhardt and Neil Bonnett race each other (in 1979). Well it's here. THANK YOU again, i subbed immediately.
I loved Ol' Arute doing what the Media was/is so very good at..."Miss Quoting Someone!" as he quoted Jake saying he was "So Very Unhappy" with his driver 🙄 Jake never said it like he was ANGRY! smh 🤷🏻♂️
In the days when this was run at the same time as the Indy 500 and the Indy 500 was shown on tape delay in prime time. When this became a night race it became the second biggest race of the year in NASCAR.
Very cool. I was 18 ready to enlist in Airforce. Picked aircraft maintenance and a career later retired watching this video with all the names we knew and loved. Earnhardt rookie season.. unfortunate crash later driving the black #3 Chevrolet that took him from us.
One hellava race that day! Felt bad for Richard, driving his guts out & 5-6 cars had more HP than him & out running him badly down the straight's. Always felt & still do, that 79 was the biggest jewel in The King's Crown. He won that Championship on sheer Racing Talent & BRAIN'S 💪
Now this is nascar racing. Different cars, not just different engines like today. Each car with its own features, drivers just... driving you know? Doing their thing. You don't have that stupid boring thing when ALL cars goes in a single line for the ENTIRE RACE like today. No yellow line bullshit, no fucking playoffs. Just pure raw racing.
At about -2:50:00 ( while Willie Nelson is on) That young man from Kannapolis “ He will not be intimidated “ Is this the first mention of that word attached to Dale?
I sure do miss those days when men were driving, not a bunch of spoiled brats and every car had different handling and power characteristics. I miss the days when everyone loved our country and nobody kneeled for the flag. I am now finished with all sports, it was nice back in the day and thanks for posting this.
Actually raced Cup car's for 13-14yrs & of course then went on to be a world class mic Man (pit-road & in the booth) for multi decade's. One thing is for sure, he was damn good at both! 💪
I think the reason why Mike Pinto's channel was deleted as because of the F1 races that he was UL'ing. Let's hope the real reason why was wasn't because of this race and You-Know-Who...
POINT STANDINGS and WINS before the 1979 WORLD 600 (13 of 31): · Bobby Allison (points with 3 wins, Ford) · Darrell Waltrip (- points with 2 wins, Chevrolet) · Cale Yarborough (-179 with 2 wins, Oldsmobile) · Richard Petty (-188 with 2 wins, Oldsmobile) · Joe Millikan (-245, Chevrolet) · Benny Parsons (-243, Oldsmobile) · Dale Earnhardt (-271 with 1 win, Chevrolet) · Buddy Baker (- with 1 win, Chevrolet) · Dick Brooks (Oldsmobile), Dave Marcis (Chevrolet) and Lennie Pond all had to scale down to a partial schedule. Meanwhile, Neil Bonnett won in his 3rd start with the Wood Brothers’ Mercury after David Pearson decided to leave. 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
SMIFF ... All right? I have almost 2,000 Nascar videos including all categories from 1979 to the present day !!! All these videos are in chronological order and it takes a lot of work to put everything in order !!! You have 50% of these videos ... Would you be able to inform your idea to put the new videos on the channel? Many of these "new" races are unique on TH-cam, thank you very much !!!!
A Great Wheelman was DA! Came so close to Winning Daytona a couple-3 time's & man, would Donnie Allison have a way different legacy now, had he just Won even one of them! 😞
I love NASCAR race car I bought many NASCAR race cars of hotwheels by mattel 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 why we need make some think to take NASCAR race cars to schools on streets ay homes
Thank you to the cameraman for 02:58 to 03:22, you the real MVP.

Just watching out for the apex. 😉
I was fixing to comment then same thing on the blue bikini.

Oh look stock cars that actually look like the cars you could buy at the show room instead of identical cars.
No Chevrolet, Ford family sedan currently exists.
They dont look identical these days....They do have different stickers on them......
ok boomer.

I was 11 years old when this race took place.i remember every Sunday we never miss a race..thanks for putting this up..love it
I was 17. Never missed a race on the radio.
I was 18 in 1979 and watched all nascar races, grew up by Rockingham motor speedway, I miss these days. 👍👍🏁🏁
i just dont miss rockinham.
Oh yes, thank you from the bottom of my heart - I watch these and then replay and sleep to them! The folks from this racing era are my 'friends'.
They were a great bunch
Amazing find! Greatest era of NASCAR racing! Thank you!
Agreed! such gentlemen, the announcers and drivers.
Yep i also agree
This is what NASCAR needs to be again

let greed mess with something. hell look at america.
Thank you for all the races. I love watching old races. I don't know why. I doubt anyone besides me and Dale Jr ever watch old vintage races.
be suprised.
Uh, no. A lot of us love watching these vintage races. I watched this race when I was 12, and it's awesome to be able to watch the whole race again at 56!
Was 19 and working on the 39 car this race. Back when nascar racing was actual racing Thanks for the video and the memories
racing reference says yall finished 15th this race. nice job!
Blackie passed away this year.😢

Amazing upload. Great to see the MRN broadcast synched so perfectly with the TV satellite feed. Felt like a genuine live broadcast. Suddenly I crave Shoney's :P
Just think, 3 or 4 more views and this video will have more people who watched it than the last Nascar Race

1979 was one of the best seasons in NASCAR. Great points battle all year between Petty and Waltrip. Thanks for the UL!

You mean Jack "Jacky" Arute? -U10

Certainly make it exiting. Its like they're calling a horse race. Man,Nascar is an unfunny joke today 😢

They gave it that 'horse race' excitement..but for 3 or 4 hours..lol. they made it exciting.
My dad just recently sold the ricky rudd car. It was in the woods behind our house. Just miles from the speedway.
0:03 Ken Squier scares the crap out of David Hobbs lol! Great upload as always!
Great race. 600 miles amd they race every lap like it’s the last lap. Love Johnny Cash singing the STP commercial too
Thank you SO much for ALL the work that you do. I appreciate it!
When u raced what u brought and HOPED u brought ENOUGH...REAL MEN REAL CARS
Different breed of driver. Daredevils and badasses.
TRUTH 💪
Real racing: No lucky dog, no green/white/checker, no cookie-cutter cars with decal lights & decal exhaust pipes
And no segments / phases or whatever they call the stupid interruptions they have now.

@@STP43FAN1 More like form following rules.
The best of NASCAR! the real NASCAR! not what we have today makes me sad...... And a happy to watch this at the same time.

I was at this race!!!

This is obviously the race that the Days of Thunder movie makers were thinking of in regards to suitcase Jake appealing to his driver to slow down lol

it would be so neat if they found some old cars and did a series of these races in the old style...take my money!
Rick Mears was on his way to winning his first Indianapolis 500 when this was going on...

The first 40 seconds of this video are pure gold.
Thanks again for the video!
Back in the day when you could drive a U-Haul to the infield and raise hell on top of it
great upload, thanks.
the 1979 world 600 was awesome miss ol earnhardt r.i.p. to him and johnny cash both

M R N Radio!
That race between Petty and Earnhardt !!! Holy crap that's Winston Cup at its best !!!
0:45 Nice feature by Chris Economaki there about mandatory drivers sponsorship promotion obligations. Too bad it was cut off.
dang that 21 was a beautiful car
There’s a road course where thousands of people used to stand and watch grown men race
A true passing of the torch in this race. Petty and Earnhardt battling it out and Richard Childress as a driver in this race
Thank you
WOW!!!!!🏁🏁🏁
Look at Earnhardt
Sitting low in the seat and just getting it done!
I sure do miss those days when men were driving, not a bunch of spoiled brats and every car had different handling and power characteristics.

Nascar needs to go back and watch these old races...look at the stands, packed. Real cars real drivers simple rules. Where did it all go?
Gotta ask that to Brian France.
The embryonic stage of One Tough Customer
When Nascar and Indycar ran the Memorial Day Sunday races at the same time.
Man loved those Mercury’s
I swear Ned must of raced for 2 years then announced for 40
Actually raced Cup car's for 13-14yrs & of course then went on to be a world class mic Man (pit-road & in the booth) for multi decade's. One thing is for sure, he was damn good at both! 💪

Can we just take a minute to admire the hair do of mr Hobbs, in the prerace?😂🤣😂
Ha! I thought the same thing. I miss hearing him on NBC Calling the F1 Races.
Cool..i can watch nascar when it wasnt full of siscies..
A young Willie Nelson in the booth?
David Dow Yep. Red headed stranger.
What time does the 600s start back in those days?
Just asking because the 600s usually ends at night time. Those old 600s do end at day time.
12:30 I Think
FINALLY a CAR that could keep up with BUDDY BAKER
Uggghh real commercials that sound different
Like what jaws said about dale in the post race interview with ned Jarrett
That’s when Racin was Racin! No pretty Boys and pre-determined winner🤠👍
Always liked that hoss Ellington #1 hawian tropic car
And Donnie always had shitty luck
But was a good wheel man
Wilie Hayes You’re absolutely right. I don’t know any driver who had worse luck.
A Great Wheelman was DA! Came so close to Winning Daytona a couple-3 time's & man, would Donnie Allison have a way different legacy now, had he just Won even one of them! 😞
