1974 Firecracker 400 from Daytona International Speedway | NASCAR Classic Full Race Replay

The race you are about to see appear as originally broadcast and may contain imagery that is offensive and doesn't align with NASCAR's values. NASCAR has since permanently banned the display of the confederate flag at all events.

This was a wild one. What a move by Pearson. The dead heat is absolutely insane to think of between Baker and Yarborough. The raw sounds at the track with the old broadcast is something that needs to come back. Really neat to go back in time like this.

So true!

Greatest finish ever! None craftier than David Pearson.

35:37 the most audacious finish ever

It says FEBRUARY on the search-thumb for this video. But it was in fact July, right?

A month after the Race?

[@Brendon_John_Harrison]

No, it’s July 4, 1974

[@STP43FAN1]

It ran July 4, 1974 but aired August 10 as indicated by Keith Jackson’s reference to “tomorrow” the Talladega 500

[@MrMakemyday3]

five lead changes on the first lap- with NO PLATES having them all tied together- real racing with real drivers
