I agree 🏁

These races are 1000 times better than the new stuff. Thanks so much for posting. Cars look fantastic and the sound is glorious.

Picking Waltrip as a long shot was priceless. Who knew?

DW had already won a couple races and began his career by leading laps during the Talladega 500. He wasn't such a long shot.

David Pearson was the best. The ol silver fox was truly a driver!

Hey thanks for the tip on Pearson. I just looked him up. Guy was 1 helluva driver.

@natureboy1313 in my opinion he was the best all time. If he would've ran full seasons there is no telling how many more wins he would've gotten.

@@joshhuffine4522 Dude he had a remarkable record. Guy had so many top tens. Petty had so much praise for him. He is not forgotten.

Even Richard Petty admitted David Pearson was the better pure driver...

The LAST guy you want to see in your rearview mirror with one lap to go was David Pearson.

This is awesome

AJ Foyt could drive a hot dog cart towards the front. The man raced everything and everywhere.

Really enjoyed!!!! 🏁🏁

That big Mercury running like he was on a Sunday drive how awesome.

I was 3 days old!

I was just an embryo.....

Was that two of Pretty’s pit crew at Pearson’s window at the end as he came down pit lane?

I had to replay the part where Pearson is asked what it feels like to win consecutive Daytona 500s, which of course this was his first. Did Chris Economaki actually know anything about motorsports, or was he just a pretty talker who glided through a broadcasting career based on that alone?

The greatest driver ever #21.

1976 1. Austin City Limits premieres on PBS during Season 1, and Austin City Limits went national; each episode begins with the soundcheck, using as the audio to accompany the opening sequence. 2. Charlie's Angels in its 1st season during the 1976-1977 season on ABC. Laverne & Shirley premieres on ABC during Season 1, and Season 2 during the 1976-1977 season. Johnny Duncan had a country hit featuring Janie Fricke on the country charts with "Thinkin' of a Rendezvous". 👍

Born in 72, I was just thinking about the 75 or 76 slant nose Laguna S3 my older had in HS in 86-87. Back then I didn't too much of the car. But started reading up on them. The slant nose in 75 gave the Lagunas a major aerodynamic advantage in NASCAR for a couple years before officials caught on.Which brought me here to see how many slant noses were in the race. Sadly my brothers Laguna probably ended up In scrapyard crusher. They didn't make many slant nose versions. They were never considered a sought after 60s or 70s car. But I think they're starting to climb in value. I think it'd be a cool car to restomod. There's a video of a Sema non slant nose restomod that's pretty cool.

Wow so nostalgic

1:06:55 Hillbilly mayhem. You couldnt make this up. Lol...Jackie was losing his mind 💀

1976. One of my favourite Daytona 500 of all time apart from many others.

They used to leave coverage of the race to show another program and then come back to it? Why did they do that?
