I came across Mr.Delma back in the day, running at Oglethorpe Speedway in Pooler Georgia right outside Savannah. He was always a good dude good ol fella enjoy the time around him. Old Dalma would race with a shopping cart if you wanted.
You can have all of the money in the world and no talent and make it in NASCAR but if you have all of the talent in the world and no money you won't make it in NASCAR.
@@bradsanders407yea sure can . Grow up with a rich grandpa/ team owner an they'll get a free ride, no talent required. No hard work, no hustle an that's exactly why they have no fans now. Empty seats at tracks that were sold out 5 years in advance should tell you all you need to know
@@bradsanders407maybe not no talent but very litte yes.theres short tracks all across the u.s with guys that got the talent to make it in Nascar but they don't know the right people or maybe there like me and won't kiss ass and believe driving ability and the determination to win should be top priority. I assure in Nascar it's who's got money or who's marketable
Rest in peace, Delma Cowart. He always tried his hardest and gave it his all in a sport he truly loved. Long live the Master's Inn Ford and the man that drove it. The man loved to race and he liked to party too. God speed.
When the M.C. Anderson race team was in business, they gave Delma some support. He was a pool builder and through the years he would trade for engines, chassis, anything to where he could keep racing.
I didn’t start watching NASCAR until til 1993. I pulled for Delma to qualify for a cup race every time he attempted! Unfortunately, I only got to see him run a few ARCA races
This is back when NASCAR was true WINSTON CUP racing. Delma made me proud to be from Georgia. This crap they have today is a JOKE. Most of the drivers are a joke. It’s why I quit watching over 20 years ago. RIP NASCAR WINSTON CUP.
Mascar was built in guys just as determined as this man,, they love to tell the history of nascar,, but wouldn't let this man with that kinda guts and courage,, to get a chance ,, money ruined nascar!!!
This is Nascar, the shit they got on the TV today is not Nascar.... No play off bull snot, No pit stop breaks to get a drink and rest this was actually Nascar Racing
@@AllenMichael-pl6ps They knew we didn't want this crap, they just didn't care. The TV networks wanted it and their $$$ means more to the greedy bastards at NA$¢A® than us fans do.
Delma was a special man. "He may never have won a race, but he never lost a party"
R.I.P Mr. Cowart.
Race in peace, Delma. Gonna be one hell of a party at the superspeedway in the sky.
Put that dude on Fox as announcer. He would be better than the crew they have now.
He passed away in 2021 at age 80. Good dude.
I was totally unaware of this gentleman and this story. I'm so glad it popped up. I really enjoyed it.
Just found my favorite NASCAR driver of all time.

My dad used to race there and fun fact I’m related to him
@@nascarblake48fanyt40 Related to your dad? I'm related to my dad also! 😀

No talent and make it in nascar. Yeah sure buddy

Dude had plenty of talent, never lost a party!
We see it every Sunday🤦♂️ @@bradsanders407

Never won a race but never lost a party...he said he ran number 0 because he had 0 chance of winning.
Never won a race, but never lost a party as well.
best comment here.
Now someone stole your comment for their own video
@@TheMW2informer you say that MW2 but that's a quote from the man himself,because who else would come up with a such a phrase? lol
The King Mansplainer where does Delma say that?
@@TheMW2informer His retirement speech.
RIP Delma.
Never won a race, never lost a party.
That’s a real racer right there!!!
I remember when he made the field for the 1992 Daytona 500. He told a reporter that if they can make a woman into a man, then anything is possible.
He'd probably get cancelled for saying something like that these days.
But they can't
Met him many times and he was always in the middle of fun no doubt
That’s what made nascar great
I'm sure there is a hell of a party roaring on tonight at that big racetrack in the sky. RIP to a colorful fella.
Delma Cowart was a true racer ,his heart was in it strong.God Bless those who try so hard
“If you need it and I dont have it then you dont need it.” HAHAHAHA
I never heard of Delma until this video. Seems like a great guy!! 🤘🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸
God speed Delma 😔😔🏁🏁
Race in paradise, Delma! We will keep the party going down here 😔🤟🏻
When the M.C. Anderson race team was in business, they gave Delma some support. He was a pool builder and through the years he would trade for engines, chassis, anything to where he could keep racing.
I like that guy.
Classic look at NASCAR n 1995. Amazing that he could qualify for the preliminary race.
Good Ol’ Savannah Boy… RIP Ol’ Boy. Would have loved to meet you. From one Savannah boy to another.
Patton said “I’ll be back and I’ll be stronger” like Col. Sanders said “I’m too drunk to taste this chicken”.
I didn’t start watching NASCAR until til 1993. I pulled for Delma to qualify for a cup race every time he attempted! Unfortunately, I only got to see him run a few ARCA races
I would have loved to been a part of his race team. Down to earth!!!
Rest in Peace, Delma…
If I were one of the owners at that time. Id have helped the hell out of that man.
Rest in peace Delma 😔

3 top 20s in cup. Still quite an accomplishment.
Yeah not bad ,and you know he probably dominated his local track
I didn’t get to watch him race but I already know he was the best
I always rooted for Delma
One of my favorite drivers 👍
Same here!
RIP to my hometown hero
"Something would have to happen to all 39 cars in front of me." That's the part I found the funniest. That's classic.
RIP, Clinton “Delma” Cowart. 1941 - 2021
Cool upload man
Nothing fit the template but I'd bet anything he bought another teams old car that happened to pass inspection for earlier races
This is back when NASCAR was true WINSTON CUP racing. Delma made me proud to be from Georgia. This crap they have today is a JOKE. Most of the drivers are a joke. It’s why I quit watching over 20 years ago. RIP NASCAR WINSTON CUP.
Old American saying " i quit 20 years ago" never gets old. Yet again you are old. Am young look whose losing.
I couldn't agree more, as a fellow Georgian @stevejump9630
When racing was real reason to race
This dude is a script every time he opens his mouth. Man, he showed me how much life I don't have.
Me too, buddy. Me too :/
This is what would happen if I built a nascar in my backyard
He came 4 the party and stayed 4 the party
This was awesome. 👍🏻
This was when NASCAR was a great, today you would never see a low-end race team get these chances.
Mascar was built in guys just as determined as this man,, they love to tell the history of nascar,, but wouldn't let this man with that kinda guts and courage,, to get a chance ,, money ruined nascar!!!
Money is why motorsports is thriving stop being so incompetent
I don't see Motorsports "thriving" anywhere across the world....much less NA$¢A®....the only people thriving are the France family.
These are the Drivers that Nascar was meant to be for, sadly it is about nothing but money, The sport has lost where it came from.
This is Nascar, the shit they got on the TV today is not Nascar.... No play off bull snot, No pit stop breaks to get a drink and rest this was actually Nascar Racing
Bravo! My sentiments exactly.
Rip
RIP Delma
Dear god their rollcages were only .090?!?!?
Any races he did well with the green and white car
Hope he didn't have any peanut shells on the floorboard.......
@@NVRAMboi I never asked about peanuts?
@@canadiancatgreen Years ago a friend told me that peanut shells in the race car (like green cars) were supposed to be a bad omen.
Probably just myth.
@@NVRAMboi oh ok thx
Finished 25th in the 1992 Daytona 500
If I had been a well known driver in the sport,, I would've help him alot ,,,
who needs practice at Daytona
Love yea bro / raceing check flag ✌️🥇👍
Great funny story.
Just got telling everybody he’s in a chevrolet when he was qualifying a Ford.
Fun fact I’m related to this guy idk how but I some how am
I'm a cowart as well lol
Looks like it was 95. Ernie Irvan sitting in the pit lane and Jarrett driving the 28.
And Sterling driving the #4 car. In which he won the 500.
WINSTON CUP RULED until NASCAR front office BOZO'S made the mistake of thinking they knew what the fans wanted without TALKING WITH FANS . F NASCAR
@@AllenMichael-pl6ps They knew we didn't want this crap, they just didn't care. The TV networks wanted it and their $$$ means more to the greedy bastards at NA$¢A® than us fans do.
Cheat better next time.
But partying is more fun
@@antoniestrada1972pay off the right ppl and stop partying, racing is the best high but it's more expensive than any other drug known
