Sure do miss these days. Great drivers and cars. We've lost several of them over the years and they are truly missed. Nascar was so big to me growing up in the 70s and 80s and living not too far from the Charlotte Motor Speedway. I've been to close to 150 Nascar races since I was 9 but the last few years I just can't seem to get into it like I use to. I guess things started falling off for me when I lost my driver (Earnhardt). I kept pulling for Junior but it wasn't the same.
There was such a seriousness to these races from the first minute from Economaki, to the guys on pitlane and in the booth. It emphasizes how fast these cars are going. Just something about it. Thanks for sharing.
thank you for the upload of this great moment, i love litteraly the sound in background when they present the drivers with them cars it is very so cool that rocks !!!
NASCAR today with the carbon copy cars, the stage racing, and the drivers cruising around this year's Daytona 500 at 175 mph to save fuel is Not the way it should be. People pay hard earned money to see these guys go flat out from start to finish. NASCAR'S front office needs to watch videos like this to get their heads out of their asses and give the fans racing like it was meant to be and should be.
I dont like the stage racing either but I understand the reasoning for it. I think it'd be fine if they used it for most events but got rid of it for some of the bigger races like the Daytona 500 and the Coke 600 and maybe a few others
The series was SO good back then. In so many ways. Nascar ruined itself with the stupid plate pack racing and it's desire to expand. I do not understand the appeal of today's nascar. It's nothing like it was.

26:33 I can only imagine what the audience watching this in 1987 (mostly southerners in the Bible belt) must've thought when hearing David Hobbs drop the "God damn..." on the air.
I was an adult with two children there cheering on awesome Bill and it meant not one goddamn thing to me. Or anyone else. So go take your prejudice back home and mull over a latte and think about that for a while.
I know this is a very strange and niche request, BUT: would it be possible to upload duplicates of all your 4:3 vids, but stretched out to fill the full 16:9 window? (As opposed to letterboxing like how this is). Some of us are weirdos that collect/restore analog TVs, and our HDMI-composite/RF converters are streamlined to rescale [squeeze] 16:9 feeds into a 4:3 ratio, and in turn, playing these kinds of letterboxed videos results in a VERY squished vertical stripe of an image (as if someone didn’t turn the phone horizontal while filming)

"Elliott jumps out in front as 42 engines strain to break-point!" 🤘🤙
RIP Ken Squire 😔
He was a legend
The final 500 with out a restrictor plate/tapered spacer/whstever
🏁The Coors car that Bill drove was always one of my favorites!!🏁🍻
I've always loved the closing song to the CBS NASCAR broadcasts back in the day.
This is some real racing here. Gives me goosebumps watching it.
Thanks for this! Good Ole days!

Bill Elliot's thunderbird one of the most beautiful looking nascars

200mph, smokin right rear tires going into the corners, Butler seats, & Balls of steal. Real racing!
"Steel" not "steal." God you people do this on purpose just to piss me off I swear.
@@gary24fan Next word was real; probably an honest mistake. Also, you're watching a freaking NASCAR race ya pendantic schmuck.
This is my favorite broadcasters in NASCAR, and Mike Joy on pit road
10:20 Race starts
This was pure horsepower !!! Unrestricted engine's for the last time at Daytona pure power !!!

I remember that race like it was yesterday

Yes, the Buick LeSabre was a great lookling car!
FORD WINS AGAIN

@@JeromyBranch When's the last time you got laid? There's some real pent up hostility that looks like it needs to be worked through.
They didn't hear it. They were too busy cheating on their wives, probably with a 12 yearold boy from Thailand.

This is real racing not that BS staged WWE garbage we see today. Bring back the bias-ply tires!
🙄 Stuck In The Past Rusty Fan Logic
Let's not forget the neutered cars
Right on brother
Before restrictor plates ruined it. Who wants to watching racing where everyone is capped to one top speed? Not me.
20:00 Taking over for the sick Tim Richmond. 😂, He damn sure was sick alright...
This before nascar put that god awful restrictot plate which i call the ernie plate an ruint the sport
What language do the words "restrictot" and "ruint" come from?
