Rick Hendrick racing Tim Richmond's car... thats awesome

A very serious pit accident was cut out of this broadcast (the injury wasn't caught live). During the first yellow (for Hershel McGriff's blown engine), a crash on pit road resulted in two members of Bill Elliott's crew being badly injured. Michael Waltrip spun entering the pits, while Bobby Hillin Jr. and Neil Bonnett were damaged (in addition to the crewmembers). Riverside was great for racing, but had a terrible pit lane setup with what had to be the smallest pit boxes in Cup at the time.

He was the driver who ran into Bobby Allison at Pocono in 1988 and ended Allison's career

I was 12 when this happened. I drove by Riverside International Speedway all the time but only ever seen one race. SCORE race. This was one amazing race track.

Love love the camera shot through turn 9 hearing the engine unwind and the driver working

The first NASCAR race Jimmie Johnson attended

Field full of LEGENDS!

Some wealthy race fan should make a replica of Riverside raceway. This track looks like so much fun to drive.

Riverside was such a dangerous race track. With a modern race car you're going through the Esses at 180mph, flicking your steering wheel left and right and praying you don't die. There's also several blind apexes that are at or behind the peak of a hill, and modern cars simply cannot cope with them safely, as they go too fast. As mentioned also, the pit lane was cramped and boxes were small, leading to incidents where pit crew could be injured by cars entering or exiting the pits.

Thanks NASCAR for the upload.

I was at that race that that day the weather was perfect for racing

Man this season was hell for Geoff Bodine. He had some great cars and just always got involved in a wreck. I especially feel for him in this one he dominated the whole thing just to lose it with 10 to go.

Ah yes, the last race of Riverside International Speedway. Boy, I’m gonna miss that speedway.

RIR was AWSOME. You could sit in turn 6 and see the whole track

The good old days. Chillin' in the flag stand smoking on a cig

The opening shot of the track is where we'd park and sit behind the fence on top of the S turns....real racing through those SS!

We used to go watch races there when I was young, never should have got rid of it😢

There is another channel thats called “Nascar classics” though. You can search up races from the 1960s-2022 races!

does anyone know who drove a car in this series that had 76, gatorade, tillion branding. i have a race suit and dont know much about it or if it was used.

I always hated that NASCAR took the short chute between turns 6 and 8. The racing would have been better if they ran the longer layout.

The very last race at Riverside..

Becaus RIR was an insanely fast course with a record race lap speed of 118 mph. So a 500k race could finish relatively quickly

This was before NASCAR was ruined by the chase and playoff format.

@vidmasterK1

It didn't ruin NASCAR. Look at Matt Kenseth's championship BEFORE the Playoff system was made. He won ONE RACE, the third race of the season and never won another race that year but won the championship while Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon and Ryan Newman won several times. Ryan Newman won EIGHT times but finished sixth and 300 points behind Kenseth in the final point standings. So the playoff format is just like the old way. Consistency gets rewarded. You could have the most wins in the season but still not win the championship. Finish up near the front and get the most points week after week and you have the best shot at the ultimate trophy.

Lindsay Emerson not even close to being first

These cars look crazy as hell to drive on road courses. Soft suspensions that bounce around on a live axle rear end, drum brakes on the rears that don't stop for crap, minimal aero by todays standards, old school steering box setup. That more pure mechanical nature of these cars allowed these guys to drive as close to the limit as possible without going over it, you had to predict what the car would do in the corners and under braking before it actually happened. They could feel it as it happened though because the weight transfer happened so much slower than modern cars and they could yaw the cars out a ton through the middle of the corner, without going over the edge. The cars of today are just too bound up with stiff suspensions combined with good brakes that dissipate heat well, modern rack and pinion steering that turns on a dime, and so much downforce that it's harder to feel the limit and if you push it a little too much, you just spin out or lock the brakes up.
