I've been a fan of Jackie Stewart's since I was a kid in the mid-70s. I'll never forget my dad telling me "that's one fiery little englishman...... and he can drive the absolute piss out of a car". I gave up my life as I knew it to see my mother to the end of dementia, after my Dad's passing. It brings tears to my eyes now to see that fire still there.. and now directed towards something even more special to my heart. Jackie's definitely one of the greatest of all time

@AmericasChoice I don't think my dad knew at the time. Our information on F1 back then was very limited here in the states. I'm not even sure they broadcast every race hear back then, but you had to be awake, and in front of the television or you missed it. I've known he was Scottish for a very long time now. I should have pointed it out, but as an American my mind was more on my father's quote and not quite as much how offensive it may be.

@@centralscrutinizer6108Agreed ... Sad, And Disgraceful. I really miss the old Atlanta Raceway's unique layout. I've always felt that moving the Start / Finish Line at Darlington was an Equally Irresponsible, Reckless, And Disrespectful move as well. For me, it turned Darlington from a track that I refused to miss attending a race at, to a track that I can no longer stand to look at, and would Never buy tickets to attend again. I never hear anyone mention it though, so I guess stuff like that is ok with everyone else.

Richard looks so cool with one hand up on the wheel like that

Two of the greatest drivers in history sharing technique, you can’t ask for more as a racing fan. You can feel the mutual respect they have for each other in the tone of the conversation.

Jackie Stewart was the best on commentary. "Johnny Rutherford has just hit the wall, and he BURSTS INTO FLAMES! Al Unser runs into the back of Rutherford's car, and he BURSTS INTO FLAMES! Now down to Chris Economaki in the pits, who has just BURST INTO FLAMES!.

There should have been a TV Series with these two driving muscle cars & solving mysteries.

gold nugget here. thank you for this little time capsule .

Jackie x Nascar was a great duo. So cool to see a highly respected international driver appreciate our sport.

That's something i never expected to see in my entire life, two legends for sure, i wish there was more crossovers now days, with drivers from diffrent racing series, like this one.

Now that's racing royalty right there! Two of the best ever!

Jackie has some awesome sideburns! My favorite Darlington tutorial is with Cale Yarborough wrestling his car around on film.

This is very interesting 1973 is this is the Year Jackie Stewart retired also. That's when he became a commentator for racing I believe.

That was great to be a part of that conversation. I read that Jim Clark got some seat time in a NASCAR Stock car, running on a high banked oval, sometime in the mid 60’s. It’s fascinating to see top level drivers from one series try their hand in something completely different, their innate talents become quickly evident.

Clark ran for Holman Moody at Rockingham in a Ford Fairlane. Besides his Indy win he also runner up 63, but won at Milwaukee, and took pole in Trenton. He finished 1963 5th in USAC and 1st in Formula 1. Truly amazing.

If you could fit every modern race car driver on Earth into one car, their talent would still come woefully short the the talent these two men combined shared.

Great moment in automotive history. I remember the race where Richard broke the rules and ran all left tires (if I'm not mistaken) to win the race. Those boys who came out of run'n moonshine know all the tricks. I remember another racer who froze the suspension to meet the height requirement. But once that boy warmed up the car and the height dropped back down, he had a nice advantage. As in MLB, NBA, & NFL, the refs don't catch everything. 😎

Saw Petty in an airport decades ago. Five 5 tall with a one foot tall hat.

This is what real legends do. They don’t bicker and argue about how turning right is so much harder than left. Jackie is mesmerized by another master. Talking about the inside and outside grooves, the car being “tight” or “loose”. He’s eager to learn. One god to another god.

And Jackie had already run the Daytona 500 by 1973. He was pretty nifty behind the wheel. F1, NASCAR, Can-Am, Indy 500 as well as other categories raced during his career. Driver’s needed to race multiple series to make a comfortable living

Beautiful "fuselage" body ... I too had a '73 Plymouth Fury sedan ... I drove it like the Bluesmobile, hard.

Only people that do not understand racing say NASCAR isn't real racing. Look at any interview of drivers who have driven both F1 and NASCAR (especially Montoya), and they will say how much more difficult NASCAR is. The respect the drivers have for each other is immense.

@bkeen7013

Ай бұрын

Stop with your nonsense. Montoya said that very tongue in cheek, especially as he landed in NASCAR after his stint in F1 so of course he would say that to save face. Ask Gordon or JJ who drove F1 cars during demonstrations. They both said how impossibly fast and difficult F1 cars are to drive. It’s why Frank Williams said Gordon would have to start racing in F3, then graduate to F2 before attempting F1. It’s a skill set and discipline different than nascar.

Thanks

It's pretty funny seeing two champion race drivers going around the track in a 4 door family sedan. That's probably about as fast as the King could drive that land barge without it spinning out of control. I hope he got it home in time for Lynda to get groceries and pick up the kids at school.
