Looking more closely,Ralph Jones stayed in his lane as the leaders were going around him while Pond didn't stay high and came down on Jones causing that wreck..Pond likely thought he had cleared Jones when coming down but miscalculated....
POINTS STANDINGS before the 1977 SOUTHERN 500: · Cale Yarborough (3475 and 9 wins, Chevrolet) · Richard Petty (-133 with 5 wins, Dodge) · Benny Parsons (-316 with 2 win, Chevrolet) · Darrell Waltrip (-348 with 4 wins, Chevrolet) · Buddy Baker (-696, Ford) · Dick Brooks (-817, Ford) · Cecil Gordon (-1042, Chevrolet) · Richard Childress (-1116, Chevrolet) · Bobby Allison is 10th with the AMC · David Pearson 14th despite only doing 15/21 races so far · Donnie Allison won 1 of the 10 races he started
I really miss these cars. Today's stuff is cramped & they beat the crap out of you on any trip plus are extremely expensive allround. Except for Waltrip's crazy crash, these drivers are courteous.
The Hawaiian tropic car reminds me of the movie Cannon ball run 😂.
Watching these old races is way better than the current nascar.
Man I miss real NASCAR racing!
🏁Really enjoy these vintage races! 🏁
There are many more on the NASCAR Classics website.
@@robossuperchannel9434 Yes, I've been watching them! 👍👍
We will miss you Cale! Tough as a pine knot.

I didn’t hit you, Jaws did.
Great race, to bad its not like this anymore. Those back markers played havoc, great crashes.
RIP too Cale #11forever
🏁 The Greats are all there.🏁
The race was ran on Monday, September 5, 1977. This was not aired until Saturday, October 8 at 2 PM EST.
These cars back in the late 70s were the best looking cars of all time, I love all the chrome, just awesome!
Ha! Luv me some Jackie Stewart! What a hoot!

Cale Yarborough, toughest man in NASCAR 😊
24:42 brutal impact. Criminy sakes alive....
I'm glad Waltrip's driving got a little better ... it Sucked at this race.
Awesome racing
NASCAR has ruined the racing
Amen

Cars were huge. 😂
Lol...so awesome. Race cars. Not cookie cutter puss mobiles. Lol
Three time World Champion Jackie Stewart announcing a NASCAR race! Can you imagine Lewis Hamilton doing that?
He'd be a bore going on about how racist things in nascar are
Janet Guthrie should be in the hallafame
only sport ❄ can claim (hockey too I guess)
Every week for 36 weeks
Some of these drivers were almost as good as me
As you?
@@NASCARCHAT24 yes me ...I'm the best there ever was
I don't think you could survive 3 laps at Daytona international speedway..@@onesecureone
