1986 Talladega 500 - Full Race
Спорт
July 27, 1986 - CBS Sports live coverage of the 1986 Talladega 500. Hosted by Ken Squier, Ned Jarrett and Neil Bonnett(!), with Mike Joy and Chris Economaki in the pits. Commercials still included for nostalgia's sake :)
VIDEO NOTE: Had some issues with video quality early in the race, so it cuts out in spots briefly. There are also parts of the race in black and white, which from what I can tell was a broadcast issue as it is that way on the VHS tape I pulled this from :)

What an exciting time in Nascar. The intensity is so great that it comes through the screen! The speed, the cars and the racing...so much better back then.
The sound of them screamin' unrestricted small blocks gives me cold chills just like it did thirty years ago. I miss this kind of racing.

+Prague Life Ken is truly a legend and Icon in the world of Nascar. It was so cool and great that NBC allowed him and Ned Jarrett to call a big portion of the Cup race at Darlington Labor day Southern 500 last year.

This was back when I was going to races or listening to/watching them every weekend. The 80s were the best times for the sport I can remember.
Thank you so much for uploading this race. Keep them coming please.
I'm loving this channel. 80's and 90's great time for racing
Thank you for posting this! I'm a big Tim Richmond fan, and there were very few Daytona or Talladega races were he had a competitive car. When you see shows about Richmond they talk about road courses and Pocono. But I believe he would have been awesome on the 2 biggest tracks had he lived and the Folgers/Hyde car remained his. The reason I say this is he and Dale were so much a like and look at what Dale did in his career. And Tim did win the Firecracker 400 at Daytona in 1986 in the 25. And I know he didn't win this but he did pretty good. Anyway, you just never see this race anywhere. So thanks again for posting.

You might be right about that but Dale couldn't run the blinding speeds like bill an Davey an bobie Dale was mediocre at best till that bring that stupid restrictor plate out they should dozed daytona an talladega down after the 88 season cause the first year of restrctors was bad but its been terrible ever sinse an is a disgrace to what big billl France built them tracks for

Harold Kinder, NASCAR's greatest and unfazed flag man. Standing in the stand waving the flags with a Winston in his mouth. Allison nearly flew into him the next year and he didn't even flinch even though a car that ripped the fence off nearly hit him. Shame he died in 1991 though.

bigorange113 I would love to go to Talladega to see the action, and I would love the thrill of being in the flagstand there. Although I think it's time for Talladega to get a new flagstand because it is WAY too low to the track, they need to raise it higher towards the top of the fence like Daytona.
You can tell by just looking at the cars going down the backstretch that they're going a good bit faster than the cars of today. THIS was racing.

3:10:16, You can see Chris Economaki completely get under Billy Wood(Hillin Jr.'s crew chief) skin and how irritated he got with the great Chris Economaki's questions, it was clear Hillin "bump drafted" or just ran in the back of Gant and sent him spinning down the backstretch and collecting others, seems everybody in this race especially Earnhardt(the irony) and Elliot were bothered by someone else's driving.

Hillin gave a much different account in his interview that was clearly not reality. Hillin just flat out ran over #33.
Davey Allison substituted for the injured Neil Bonnet, Neil called the race, Davey's performance in this race got him the ride in the #28 car for 1987, he nearly won this race.

I don't think Davey getting the ride had so much to do with him about winning but how he was one of few who didn't beat his car to hell in this race he bring it home without a scratch an he was a true rookie I think is what got him the ride it kinda a shame junior didn't give him a ride cause at the time Ranier racing was jus s team that started a few races an built cars to win but didn't run for the cup with the 28 until 88 junior had the best team out their an put Davey with Tim brewer an you had an instant championship contender wheir as the 28 team had its growing pains an didn't become a contender till 91 which they grew together an built one hell of a team for Dale sory ass Jarrett to reap the rewards off of.such a shame
3:02:08 Awsome Bill going off a little bit. Love it. Followed by Earnhardt saying “They’re driving like a bunch of rookies out there” Lol. There is so much fake news about DE’s driving when you actually go back and look at these races. Harry Gant is an Ironman. Takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’!

This was the race Hillin earned a reputation for being a bit reckless and Earnhardt was pissed at him.
This video has a little better resolution and audio than that other channel. Thankyou
These drivers had these cars on the edge and yet gave plenty of room and not cause the big one. I always pulled for Cale.
wow, i haven't watch that since months ago.
Been waiting for years to watch this race again. Some highlights for me (back in '86 plus watching it again now): 1. Davey Allison. 2. Rodney Combs 3. Chris Economaki calling Hillin's crew chief Billy Woodruff "Billy Wood" 4. Dave Marcis swapping cars with Phil Barkdoll during the race 5. Rusty subbing for Ricky Rudd and taking the car to the top 5 (post-race, car owner Bud Moore wanted to pay Rusty for his efforts, but Rusty declined) 6. Alan Kulwicki subbing for Combs (I miss old-school driver swaps) 7. Talladega the way it used to be
“Commercials?!?!?” ....wait a minute, they’re awesome :)
NASCAR back in the days when they didn't have to go to a commercial break immediately after the checkered flag falls. It's nice to see how they stuck around an showed a replay of the accident and then went right to winners circle. Today's race broadcasts have to get right to a commercial the second the race is over. If they didn't have to go to a commercial back in the 80s then why the hell do they have to do it today? I know the commercials have to be aired a certain number of ties during the broadcast, but why do they have to be right at the end of the race? This was MUCH better back when they stuck around after it was over.
I came for the race, but stayed for the commercials.
The in car camera shots from this era are fascinating; the Allison wreck on the final lap especially. The restraints and seats were just starting to become "modern" in the early to mid 1980's. With that said they far from perfected. I have to think the fact the drivers were able to move around during an accident helped to limit basilar skull fractures that became an issue in the 1990's. By the mid to late 90's the restraints and seats had no give whatsoever.
37:00 gant drivin barehanded !!!gotta luv the ole daze !!! this was racin ;
Bobby Hillin Jr.'s 1st and only NASCAR Winston Cup Victory
God I miss the 80's- early 2000's NASCAR! The racing was so much better without all the gimmicks and aerodynamic bs that's plagued today's racing!
No matter what car sterling Marlin was in, when they went to Daytona and Talladega he was always near the front. But when he got into that Indy car sounding #4 Morgan McClure car, he was def tough to beat.

I'd love to see Daytona & Talladega run without the plates again, but I don't believe most of today's drivers could be trusted to run that fast without causing a hell of a wreck (namely, Logano).

Wouldn't we all? Unfortunately, almost 30 years ago (1988 specifically), the restrictor plates were mandated for all races (Sprint Cup, Xfinity, and Camping World Truck Series) at Daytona and Talladega for a reason (the first time since the early '70s that they had been used, BTW), and as you're probably well aware, that reason was to keep the cars from sailing into the catch fence and possibly into the grand stand, as was the case of what happened to Bobby Allison at Talladega in 1987; unfortunately, the restrictor plates couldn't keep Richard Petty off of the wall the following year at Daytona and most recently Neil Bonnett sailed into the catch fence in 1993, and in 2009, Carl Edwards had an incident similar to both Bobby and Neil's crashes, all three occurring at Talladega.

+EricEbac22 There was a huge difference between the 1981-87 tumbles such as Allison, Barkdoll at Daytona et al and Petty's 1988 crash. The speeds in the last five to six years have reached 200 again and people wonder why the cars are flying again. They need to cap the HP more, not let it creep back up.
55:20 Richard and Earnhardt get into a huge sidedraft battle for the lead with Davey Allison.
Ken Squire's favorite driver was BigE.
Thank the Lord and Miller beer.lol
Starting Grid at 7:55
By 1988, NASCAR would mandate the use of a restrictor plate to slow the speed on cars for all races at Daytona and Talladega.

Joseph Bevacqua The lead changed hands a season-high 49 times among nine drivers. Morgan Shepherd led the most laps but got shuffled out and finished sixth; Davey Allison spun out with about ten to go but didn't hit anything; Darrell Waltrip rammed Jimmy Spencer on pit road on an early yellow (the result of NASCAR'S then-new rule closing pit road when the yellow comes out and throwing everyone in at once); Terry Labonte grabbed the win, his last with Junior Johnson's team; Rusty Wallace got knocked out when Geoff Bodine spun and collected three other cars; Alan Kulwicki spun on a green flag stop then crashed later with Sterling Marlin. It was a whale of a race.
Bobby Hillin Jr's first and only win, from 1986 to 1988 those Stavola Brothers Miller Buick's were the best or at least always in contention at Daytona and Talladega,
