@@brianbooher7318 that’s what it takes to win multiple championships. Go all out all the time. He actually cheated to go this fast and it could be what contributed the car to flip. There’s an interview of him somewhere explaining how he banged the spoiler down lower with his fists after going through tech. Back then they didn’t check the car spoiler again after passing tech post qualifying or post race and there was no impound rules either
Back in 2014 they had 900hp at the non-plate tracks. They used to scream. Can you imagine if you took an unrestricted 2014 spec car and ran it at talladega? Or have a race with 2014 cars non-plated?
It took real men with strength, endurance, and high levels of testosterone and lack of fear to wheel those racecars! Cars today are designed with careful consideration for the young kids and the girl's with rich parents who "race" them. Nascar has been infiltrated by the same people who are trying to destroy the American way of life!
"200.503 miiles per hour in the..." I can't catch the part after this, but I love two things about this, one is that they list the exact speed because that was an amazing thing back then before restrictions and cutting back horsepower, and two that they call the team/sponsor and the manufacturer out. Just seems like really good coverage compared to the joke we have today. SAFER barriers, roof flaps, HANS devices, and catch fences are pretty nice though.
I don't want this to sound like I'm rooting for drivers to get injured or to die, but I think one of the real issues I have with modern NASCAR is that it's too safe. The drivers of old, while they still had their share of grudges and rivalries, they respected eachother much more IMO. It's a dangerous sport, and when death - albeit rare - is a real possibility, it's going to change how you race your opponents and the track. Maybe you'll be a little more patient and not take unnecessary risks. I'll admit I don't have the numbers to back it up, but I'd love to see the average number of wrecks per race nowadays vs 10, 20, 30+ years ago. I might be biased but you needed a hell of a lot more talent to drive back then, whereas today it's all about who's got the most money from their sponsor and can get the best engineering money can buy. Again, I don't root for injuries or even death, but professional sports should have some degree of risk to them, to separate the "men from the boys" as the saying goes.
Um ur wrong too. Nascar was controlled by one man back then. Now it's a commitee...the more democratic it gets, the crappier...in everything. And sponsors have wayyyy more control than they did.
This is why Chevrolet got to work on developing the aerocoupe back glass for those 80's Monte Carlo's. They were sleek and fast but got a bit loose in the rear sometimes due to the lack of enough rear down force. The Aerocoupe rear window solved that issue.
The real reason why GM built the fast back rear window Monte Carlo SS, Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile and Buicks in 1986 was to get even with Bill Elliott and the other Ford teams who were kicking their crying asses off to Nascar in 85 at Daytona, Talladega, Michigan and Atlanta.
It was the Historic event that Lead Chevrolet/Pontiac to Design the Aerodyne Coupe to get the G Bodies to keep from lifting off the track at over 200 mph.
My first race was the 1973 Winston 500. We sat in the bleachers on the backstretch and had a 19 car pile up in front of us. A lot of smoke and 70's grade fuel. Also there in 75 when Tiny Lund was killed. My two friends and I watched the crews remove him from the car behind the fence of the track. Terrible sight to see for a 14yo.
As someone that has experienced the g's going through the turns at Talladega doing 190, at 205 mph he must have been pinned against the right side of that car as a side wind got under the car.
Did Cale ponder that the wind might not have caused him to spin if he hadn’t “adjusted” the rear spoiler right before heading out on the track by pounding it lower with his fists? 😂🤔. In those days there wasn’t a specific degree they had to be at. Well I think it was allowed in the 45 to 70 degree range but nascar wasn’t as strict about rules in those days. If it passed pre race inspection you were pretty much good to go because they didn’t check spoiler heights post qualifying or post race like they do now
@Thomas Jackson No duh but what I was saying is that Current Nascar tracks are impossible to drive at those speeds. And driving a car like a Nascar at 300 would be nearly impossible to compute fast enough to drive well. and it would literally ruin Nascar because the cars are going to fast for anybody to understand any of the sponsors on the cars till they are stopped. So less sponsor deals which Nascar and the teams def do not want.
300 mph isn't reasonable... unless we take the drivers out of the cars and put them in simulators, and run the cars by remote control. It's the future of racing, since the cars would be truly unlimited and the drivers can be safe in their pods. Imagine F1 cars with unlimited downforce, NASCAR with 2500 HP, 25,000 HP V16 dragsters: it's all possible with remote controlled cars.
@@xxxYYZxxx Lmao no that is the stupidest thing I have ever read you should kill that idea because none of that is possible. Aside from the "Remote controlled cars" but there would be a delay from you doing the action in the sim and the car actually doing it. Plus you might try to make the car do something it can do being in the car is the only way there are AI race cars but those are prototypes and if those took over Nascar Nascar would fall hard on the first 3 seasons because there are no drivers to like just fancy looking cars.
Why does everyone have to comment and show their stupidity...if it lands on its top...it flipped. Do you flip a burger so it lands on the same side it started on?
Lmfao you mean the series that pretty much refuses to do oval racing because of "safety"? The series that certain drivers will only do road courses because they are scared of ovals?
Backstretch speeds at Charlotte in 1985....175 mph....backstretch speeds at Charlotte today...180mph....Yarborough flipped doing 201 mph average....in the draft today's cars do 203 mph average....pretty much the same if you ask me
"... and a back up short track Pontiac was shipped down from Charlotte..."

You need wings and air dams(splitter) for >200mph. Learned that the hard way around 1982. The local constabularies frowned upon those, though.
