A dozen drivers out there, letting it all hang out, all going for it. They are showing respect. Not rubbin' is racin'. No green-white-wrecker. These guys tore off the last dozen laps without crashing each other, and still put on a spectacular race. Something for today's drivers to consider.

Will this type of modern-day junk be the death-toll of Nascar? Ratings and attendance both have been steadily dropping over the last 5-10 years at least, if not more. Something's gotta be done, and fast, if they're gonna save Nascar!

Nascar was SO much better back then. Real modified stock cars as opposed to the spec cars they race now. No stupid ground effects or restrictor plates. Groups of cars could actually break away from one another back then. I still watch Nascar but it is a shadow of it's former self. All they care about is selling advertising now. Notice during that whole clip the announcers didn't plug one sponsor? They can't even mention fuel now without mentioning Sunoco. The chase format is a joke too. I'm pretty sure Johnson would have 3-4 less championships if not for that absurd format. There's no playoffs in racing, racing seasons are about consistency. Love this clip but it makes me sad for what Nascar has become.

There was certainly a great deal to love about NASCAR in the 1971-80s and '90s eras, but saying it was better without restrictor plates is wrong - the speeds got too high for safety (they still are today, I'm baffled why NASCAR won't restrict the power on all tracks because they're too fast for safety and for the ability for passing). You're right about sponsor overkill today versus back then, and certainly the Chase format can never work no matter what contrivances are applied atop the contrivance that the Chase simply is. Back then and later, and today, they'd benefit enormously if they could push-draft all the way around - imagine everyone gunning down Elliott in 1985 by push-drafting from half a lap down in one lap.

@Jangocat

9 жыл бұрын

Michael Daly Thank you for your opinion, I'm kinda passionate about missing the old Nascar. Restrictor plates are dangerous because the cars are stuck in packs running WOT all day, they can't get separation, all the drivers hate them. If you hit the wall at 190 or 212 what difference does it make? They need to eliminate those ridiculously big tracks and get back to their short track roots to contain the speed. Of course Nascar will never do that, they can sell a lot more tickets at Talladega then Darlington or Bristol, and casual fans love wrecks. Dover is about as big as I think a Nascar track should be. The fact that Bill Elliott's 30 year old car would blow away todays cars show how they have gone from substance to commercialism. You couldn't say that for any other motor sport. A modern F1 or Dragster would destroy an 80's version. Both equally dangerous racing series maybe more so. The 80's Nascars would whip todays cars despite modern technology, todays drivers would be shocked to watch an 80's car just pull away from them. There are still REAL stock cars, it's called the Australian V8 Supercar series and they are gaining popularity steadily, Nascar better get back to their roots unless they want to go the way of Indy cars.

And thats how it was done back in the day....RIP Dale

Way better racing than it is today.. love the grainy cameras

We miss you Benny! The broadcast booth just doesn't seem complete with you there. :( RIP

That was a textbook way of setting the leader up to pass for the win by Earnhardt. He dropped back to get momentum from the cars behind him at just the right point to shoot past the leader. Perfect

The following year Bill Elliott was 2 laps down and passed every driver 3 times under green and won. NASCAR in the early and mid 1980’s was a wild time.

2011 showed the absurdity of the Chase format - locking out 4/5ths of the field for the final ten races, then a driver who had struggled for 26 races SUDDENLY wins five races - and he needs them just to TIE for the points lead? It's supposed to be you have to win races, PERIOD, and then let the points fall where they fall.

I loved stock car racing from the late '60s through the '90s. I used to watch it in black and white on ABC's Wide World of Sports, at least the few NASCAR races they televised each year, and many (most? all?) of those were on tape delay. I don't think NASCAR got big enough to start getting their own live network coverage until the late '70s. I liked those days when the cars were actually based on "stock" cars, back when they'd get in a wreck and the trunk would pop open. The farther away from that they got, the less interest I had in watching it.
