When NASCAR was so much more exciting than it is today

real American cars

Wish all the old races had a picture as good as this one.

This was my second race I attended. Free tickets from a cousin who worked at a radio station. Damn backstretch seats. I was just a kid, had to have a friend's dad take us out there in that madness, and come back and pick us up. My hero Pearson crashed out of two and stopped in front me. That sucked. A Pearson fan from the mid 70s, finally got to see him live, and a few more times, but never was really competitive after the Hoss Ellington ride. Thanks to KZread I can relive the best days of Nascar tho.

Bobby Allison always drove his car in the lead pack .🏁 he has been a role model to me since i was 17 years old

3:13:25 the incident which led DW challenging anyone to fight him at a K-Mart.

You are the gift that keeps on giving.

personally i have been to the World 600 six times . Earnhardt , Waltrip and Allison won it 2 times each in the 1980's ,i drank plenty of beer there too

Classy racing by Elliot. He could have given a little bump and run to bonnet at the end for his first win but he chose to be a gentleman.

My Man Neil Bonnett first 600 win should have won in 1981

It’s like watching this great race on TV but listening through the radio! 🤨

I could be wrong. But at 2:13:48 it seemed like the dude wasn't liking the camera man filming his girl. 😂😂😂

Gal darn Bill was a clean racer

So great to hear Bill Connell, I always loved listening to him

Neil was a fine racer.

Given how great he was at almost every other big speedway in his career, it's hard for anyone to believe that this was as close as Bill Elliott would ever get to winning the Coca-Cola (World) 600. He would win the 500-mile fall race at Charlotte twice (1984, '87), but much like Cale Yarborough, who won the fall race three times but never won the 600, this would be the one significant race that Bill Elliott would never win. It's also interesting to note that Elliott also never won the All-Star Race at Charlotte, either, as his win in that event came the one time it wasn't held at Charlotte.

In 2000, he dominated the first two segments of the All-Star race, and then in the weirdest thing I've ever seen, Dale Junior's car became a rocket ship and Bill's went away. He had it won in 1987 before Ironhead struck...

Ernies Ford engines had a higher power band which gave Bill a advantage on big speedways.. The All star engines were all time bombs that the Gm guys could build up but didn't have to last, so E Elliotts engines had no advantage in the All star race. Nascar changed the engine rules due to Elliotts dominance fearing people would get bored watching him lap the field!

He missed winning the 1987 Winston because of the two aysewholes Bodine and Earnhardt beating on him and trying to wreck him. He clearly had the best car that day.

Thanks for this

Beautiful voice

Sometimes when track conditions are different from the norm, a car manufacturer body design which are not of the sleeker, slicker design that might resemble a shoebox creates downforce hence runs faster through the corners and out does competition probable not possible yes through the decades I've seen it virtually the only explanation for winning versus not?? I'm just saying? I hope my message doesn't get lost in my lack of proper English!

Sounds like Ken Squire and Bill Connell doing the play by play and Dr. Jerry Punch on the public address.

Charlotte as many of the tracks would simulcast the radio broadcast during the race over the P.A., with the track P.A. cutting in when it needs to during the race.

This had to be Ford's best race overall in the '82 season.

what other 1982 races do you have

Even in those days Dr. Punch had a huge stiffie for Dale Earnhardt.

Do you have the 1982 Firecracker 400?

During the National Anthem, was the cameraman swatting at flies or something -- with the camera?

Sounds like the MRN feed.

Great race, when was the first World 600 mile race broadcast on 📺 tv?

How many came for this while watching the 2020 Coca-Cola 600 after Chase Elliott took the lead?

No, that Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas holds the distinction of worst version ever. It was before a NBA game I believe. You can thank me later. 😂

we can only hope nascar to go bankrupt so we can get back to racin like this again.
