I noticed for all these old races from all the networks, the announcers are just as iconic and legendary as the drivers and tracks. I forgot a few. These all bring back better times and days.
@@jsmr451 I'm so sorry that NASCAR is safer now. At least people don't DIE on track anymore. Last death was 23 years ago. There is a reason for that. Besides, I once saw a car with a restrictor plate go 206 Miles an hour.
@@Daniel-zo5wz But cars, suspension, tyres etc have improved since then. And with stupid stages, drivers just back of 20+ mph to fuel save. It aint the same no matter how you look at it. And for the worse.
Today's fans that go to talladega dont know the struggles of going to a race back in the 80's and 90's when the races were in june and July. The temps were between 85°-95° and you would sweat a couple of pounds off. Thank your lucky stars that they moved the dates to where the weather is much more comfortable.
I remember Neil Bonnett when he was in the booth while recovering from an injury a season or two before this, making a joke that it was so hot that day that the robins were using oven mitts to catch their worms outside of his hotel window that morning.
Yet the cars were still quite safe considering they were hitting concrete walls for the most part. By the late 80s seat technology was rapidly improving, the restraints were quite modern and the roll cage had pretty much been perfected. Still, drivers side hits (got Bobby) as well as fire and eventually sudden stops would be the defining issue.With all this said, drivers did suffer a lot of broken bones (especially legs) back then because the restraints were ultimately limited allowing arms and legs to flail about during a wreck. Even so, all things considered, safety was at or above the standard of the era relative to F1 and Indycar. These cars with soft walls/hans devices and injuries would have been cut by 80 or 90% probably.
Do you guys have the 1986 Talladega race that Bobby Hillin won? It was great seeing him on the Dale Jr Download a few weeks back and that was his only win of his career!
18:09 glad to see we were still dunking on Formula Un back in '88 😂😂😂😂 I also feel like I'm a bad luck charm for DW. I haven't watched many of his races, but the ones I do watch, he dominates all day only to have bad luck right at the end. I can say I've seen Kenny Schrader win, but I want to see DW win now. Awesome race 🤘
Darrell was pretty fast at the plate tracks during this time but kept getting outran till the 89 Daytona 500 when he won on fuel mileage. Schrader or Earnhardt woulda got that one had there been another caution late... Also, Schrader was a pretty good wheelman so it's pretty surprising that he was only able to win a handful of Cup races in his career, particularly since he took over that car Richmond dominated in...
1:19:50 boy how times have changed. nova computer systems 2:06:36 Dale throws the late block on sterling once again. {those drivers would have a history of tough battles and Schraders in the middle of it too} little did we know how the dance would go. AND JUST LIKE cbs TO GO OFF THE AIR WITHOUT A VICTORY LANE INTERVIEW, BECAUSE THEY RAN LONG AND golf is scheduled. at least its not ABC's wide world of sports where you would have to watch lumber jack compettion and polish yatzy Ping-Pong tournament just to catch a fleeting glimpse of the race tape delayed of course.
If you watch the 1990 Peak 500 broadcast Ned Jarrett states that Allison was practicing in September 1990 with the belief he could return for the 1991 season.

So sad they don't cover races like this anymore. In car cameras, you can hear the cars along with the commentary, focusing on the race not other BS. Such a shame the coverage absolutely stinks these days..

The only bad thing about these old races is i end up talking like Chris Economaki for the rest of the day.
lol
don't feel ashamed ,i talk like Ken Squire for the rest of the week

Nothing will ever top the bad ass roar from the old H-pipe exhaust systems. That’s what a racecar is supposed to sound like!
totally . they roar down the backstretch at Talladega
💯💯💯
Nascar was way better back then it's not the same
Back then y’all were crying about the restrictor plates 😂
Exactly. Now is awful.

And by the way, they mandated restrictor plates at the beginning of 1988. So the race you watched was a restrictor plate race!

1:05:07 Hearing the crowd reaction to Davey Allison driving his dad’s car always gets me choked up.
👍
Ken Schrader's first win, Harry Hyde's last win. But the main thing is the racing was pretty exciting back then.
Finally, a video of some real cars and real racing.

and the Alabama humidity made it feel like 112 %
it was 90 degrees at 8 o.clock in the morning when i was there in July
yup i went with my dad we were cooking like some brisket

It's shocking the lack of safety features these cars had compared to today's machines.
Well, certain people had to get hurt & die for us to get to where NASCAR is today as far as safety innovations...
@vinewood8295 Sad but true unfortunately 😔

they were tough drivers
Yeah. That's why I get mad when people say they miss the old NASCAR. No one should have to risk dying in this sport.

I thought they posted it a couple days ago
SMIFF TV has the race on his channel.
That might be the greatest race I have ever seen in any form of racing!!!

This was Harry Hyde last victory as a crew chief
Allan kulwiki rest his soul
Man i miss Davey and #28.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Back when Earnhardt tlwas totally the most hated driver.
nah Dale had more fans at the track than any another driver. Waltrip was the big mouth that complained about everything ,lol ✌
@@zcam1969nope Bill Elliot was by far the most popular driver. Earnhardt was hated by everyone.
Fun facts: they mandated the restrictor plate in 1988.
1988 Buick Regal Most Beautiful Car In My Opinion NASCAR History
1987 . Firecracker 400 at Daytona is when they issued the restrictor plates
Great race! Geoff Bodine had best/fastest ride.. Needed one more lap,

I'd fully support Ai if they can bring back these commentators for today's races
i hoped for years that Bobby would get back in a car race again !🏁 he did some practice laps at Martinville in 1992

@@tuowl0564 i know that Allison owned a race team in the early 90's ,no doubt that he drove the car in practice laps .
Davey and Mike Alexander could not handle Bobby's ''hot car '' or Hotrod ! i kinda think Booby could have won in that car .
Kyle petty was always my driver
History here, The first time the world saw pack racing!
Today's Nascar sucks.
Agree😊

This is when racing was good. Not like this new stuff.
