Tim Richmond was so good. He almost certainly would have rivaled Dale Earnhardt head to head for many more years. He was a true wheelman. Gone too soon.

Bob Jenkins was the voice of American motorsports for myself and a lot of others who grew up in the 80's and 90's. His legacy will live forever.

I am 20 and I love watching old nascar races

Woa….Al Unser Sr, Bob Jenkins (RIP) and Rick Mears as a commentator…oh they 80s. Love it!

you guys should uplload entire seasons, I would love to relive old seasons

Buddy Baker,,,,had the knowledge and the voice,that made him one of the best ever to call a racing event......Bet-ya.

Cars that looked like cars...you could almost create these at home. Sounds wonderful. Exciting racing, epic drivers. Nascar was so mega back then. THIS was racing!

I am 60 and after I watch the 1957 Daytona 500 on the beach I am hooked the car sounds are so freaken awsome real loud 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Let's go back to having the car bodies looking different. No more universal template with grille and head light stickers.

We just lost Bob this week that's what propelled me to watch this race cuz I knew he called it. He was a very humble approachable and down-to-earth guy he would have a conversation with anybody that wanted to. He will be missed in the racing community

the last year or so, i keep getting drawn back into this sport. love nascar. love it.

Im so glad to see this race uploaded. Our whole family was there at turn 2 when i was 19 yo..Living an hour from the track, makes me want to spend more time there in 2021-22..✌

Ok NASCAR, this looks acceptable! Really nice quality, bars on the side, just perfect! 👌🏻 this is exactly how it should look & not have it cropped or would not! 🏁

Awesome watching DW holding off Rusty and leading.

these things drive like buses on a road course. awesome :D

This raw satellite feed was probably the best footage they could find of this race if I had to guess, which also explains why we don't see any ESPN graphics.

That was Awesome 👊💪🏁

Looking forward to this race

Gotta love the 80’s! 🤘

RIP Bob Jenkins

It is true that I was 1 year old at that time but still I find this video perfectly impressive!

Huh, things I never knew... Pancho Carter/Big Al/Rock Noop made Winston Cup starts. I assume that's Rick Mears in the booth? Yes they are lethal but the cigarette liveries work so, so well with the car bodies. Same for Indycars of the time too. No Bus Stop, that was five years away and many crashes latel Buddy Baker as a crew chief. It may be nostalgia talking but the cars looked cleaner and simpler and had unique styles without all the flares and trickery. Why can't we go back to the simple, clean lines? I know that's what the Gen7's going for but really, we all know the teams will screw it up when they get their hands on it...

But why did the 11 car sound distinctively different than the rest of the cars ?

This year in 1986 there’s no catchfences and with lots of trees at the Glen and right now there’s catchfences and they leveled so many trees to make the RV parking lot.

Why is there never any mention of the v6 powered cars. Waltrip was fast with a v6 in the early 80’s as well but never any comments from the announcers about it.

Not only that, from the fans too, nobody even mention it in the comment, the peculiar sound made me do some reserch on the subject

I was born on June 11 1986 I didn’t get into Nascar until Dale Sr. died

Can’t wait

Used to watch this with my dad long distance phone call. We took turns paying each week. This race I remember we kept asking "Who is the dummy doing color commentary?" Lol Rick Mears didnt know squat about NASCAR. Bob Jenkins though...the man!

And then when Ned and Benny joined the booth, we had the greatest announcing team ever assembled! ESPN of the '80s and '90s will always be my favorite presenters of this stuff. It just wasn't as good after the 'new' TV contract, post-ESPN...

That was so OP SO OP

I wonder if 2011 & 2012 would be the next videos.. (or even 2000)

Is this a satellite feed of the race?

Racing without blah-blah and cry-babies ("He pushed me!")! Awesome! 😊👍🏻

I know I'm only 22 but nascar ain't the same no more the last evolution sucks the one before that was ok back then to like 2016 was the much better now there's too many crazy rules and thd cars arent the same they need to go back to this type of NASCAR

cant even watch the video because of all the stupid ads

this was so boring to watch rather prefer today's road course races over this yawn

Europeans needs to know that NASCAR cars can turn right all they had to do is watch this video
