"and you can hear the roar of the crowd over the thunder of the motors" ...... YEAH BUDDY Four Fords couldn't get around the draft master, Earnhardt. Simply the best driver to ever grasp the wheel of a stockcar. GOAT #3 The Goodwrench crew had that ole Lumina figured out for sure, love this era of NASCAR
My first race I went to was Darlington raceway, it was 1976, I appreciate these men who made NASCAR what it is today. God Bless them all. I still love watching these historical races, they all raced their hearts out with respect for each other.
I just tripped on mushrooms for 4 hours and watched this and OMG. This is sooooooooooo much better than trippin to any Pink Floyd. I MEAN JUST FREAKING AMAZING. LIKE AWARDS SHOULD BE GIVEN HERE. JUST WOWOWOWOWOW LOLOL MY LIFE IS WHOLE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Around 3:20:28 to 3:21:30 there's a discussion about NASCAR's attempts to keep the cars on the ground (no roof flaps yet). I find Ken Squier's notes prophetic because when Carl was wrecked in 2009 off the front end of Brad, it was the example same scenario: front wheels on the apron, rear wheels on the bank. No amount of aerodynamic adjustment can get nature to reverse course.
There's no fixing that scenero. Maybe self dropping side skirts between the front and rear wheels to close the gap a little. Don't anybody steal my idea now.
I remember going to my big mama’s and papa’s house every Friday after school then going to our local dirt track race on Saturday and watching the nascar race on Sunday with my papa while my big mama was cooking a huge Sunday dinner
2:39:53 My ALL TIME favorite Earnhardt moment. "...puts the Chevy out in front of three Fords side by side". And with Ken and Ned calling the race...it just doesn't get any better.
@@ricktaylor3748Because I’m French, in France, "literally" can sometimes mean "like so much" or "really, really"-something of great intensity, almost like saying "super."
and i love he brings it up over footage of cars pulling alongside each other and stalling out, proving himself exactly wrong. no one ever said you couldnt pull up alongside someone, but last time i checked, that aint passing.
Man, I miss the old Luminas. They were such a good looking race car. The 87-88 Monte Carlos will always be my favorites though. The 84-86 Thunderbirds were some pretty cars too. Shaped like a bullet. Its no wonder Elliott dominated the Mid 80's like he did
Earnhardt had a ton of power but he also had the side draft figured out better than anybody. He was a master at cancelling the run of the car beside him.
He learned that from the real master in 1986 in that same race. July talladega. He was trying to pass Richard Petty on Petty’s inside. Every time they’d go into the turns Earnhardt would start to pull out in front of the king and the king would pull right down on his side and pack the air off of his nose into Earnhardt’s right rear wheel well. That would slow him and petty could pull right back up beside him. The king taught him that lil tid bit.
That's another reason why he sat so low in his car and loved the open faced helmets. They say he could "see the air", it wasn't that. He sat low to feel the change of air pressure on his face for the draft and to side draft, and also to be able to know where his braking points so he could "hit his marks" on the short and intermediate tracks. Earnhardt was just on another level when it came to racing.
Ernie Irvan was featured a lot in these pit scenes after winning the Daytona 500. He will always be my favorite! After Ernie's apology I hated Buddy Baker after this. For when there was so many blame for nothing on him, when they should have been going after other drivers other than just Ernie. Rusty Wallace always wrecking Davy, same with Darrell Waltrip. Heck even Richard Petty wrecked people on purpose.
I was at the '91 Winston 500 and witnessed the 'big one' that Ernie had to apologize for. I felt it was pretty ridiculous at the time. Look at the three and four wide racing that developed in the years right after this. It became the norm, along with the wrecks. No fault of Ernie, just close racing. There was also a 'big one' in the IROC race on Saturday involving Dorsey Schroeder, Earnhardt, and others. We had torrential rain that whole weekend. The 500 had to be run on Monday. Luckily I'd already put in for a vacation day.
In addition, I remember the morning of THIS race (Diehard 500) Gary Nelson & the tech people mandated all the teams to cut a couple inches off the bottom of the front air dam, which made this race much more competitive.
If you haven't found it by now it was early in the 1990 Winston 500 where they aired his interview about the memory loss after his crash at Darlington.
@@faithful2thecall thanks. Wanted show dad on the tapes I have ....dang I got even race practice Lotta qualify on tape from 86 to 2000 and few truck and bush races
As talented as Buddy was, unfortunately he was one of those drivers where if he couldn't get past you on speed, he'd just tap the edge of the rear bumper or the rear quarter panel and spin you out to get the place. And of course, unlike dirt track speedway where causing a caution gets you sent to the rear of the field, in NASCAR unless they thought you did it deliberately (which in the Winston Cup was a very rare thought indeed), you could get away with things like that.
@@BobinFlobo Technically not more parity tho as there were wayy more single car teams back then. Nowadays if you combine the four best teams you got 15-16 drivers with potentially top-tier equipment. Back then big teams were rare.
Some great vintage 90's Cup racing right here...

Even today no matter what they do cars are still going to flip I mean it’s the main reason I watch talladega to see cars flip
Carl wrecked himself. Brad held his line.
Very similar here. Baker was holding his line and Mast moved down.
There's no fixing that scenero. Maybe self dropping side skirts between the front and rear wheels to close the gap a little. Don't anybody steal my idea now.
Theses were the good days of nascar but I was two young to watch them now I am watching old races now

The rick mast flip was pretty sick and Ned Jarrett called it all the way
Used to love CBS’s little intros to their races narrated by Chris Economacki.
45:35 Ned Jarrett always seemed to delight in mocking the opinion that the restrictor plate somehow impedes ability to pass.

Ned Jarrett was a fantastic commentator.
Ray Charles can see he caused both of those accidents! Lol.

2:29:07 Waltrip did pit...he was first out of pit road.
Why wasn't talladega IN DAYS OF THUNDER
Mostly cause filming followed the schedule. They started filming in late 89 all the way till the 90 500...
55:20 - Joe Gibbs as a race car owner? Yeah, like THAT will ever work...
No victory lane interview for my man Dale Earnhardt
35.57....that crack was there when they talk to him on radio
Why does the audio quality vary so wildly race to race? I had to pass on this one which is a real shame.
Is it me or does old man Buddy Baker love to hit guys in the right rear panel and cause wrecks? No wonder everybody was happy when he finally retired!
As talented as Buddy was, unfortunately he was one of those drivers where if he couldn't get past you on speed, he'd just tap the edge of the rear bumper or the rear quarter panel and spin you out to get the place.

Almost 30 years later, they still haven't figured out how to keep those cars on the track.

@@AsylumSaint wow 1 more than 1991 what a HUGE difference 🙄
Exotic Butters it’s STILL more though. Even if it’s only 1 more, it still means there is more parity in 2017 than 1991
