I think the years have been VERY kind to Bud Lindemann's low-key narration and interviews.  Wish we had more announcers like him today.

This was real stockcar racing and real men driving them glad I was able to be at a lot of these events

i remember waking up early sunday mornings to watch  this when i was a child, great times to be a kid

I took a picture that day of David Peirson waiting to get into the track along with the spectators, his car was on a trailer behind his pickup truck, no fancy haulers back then and no super heros like today

I was around 6 weeks old and just a few miles down the road from the Charlotte Motor Speedway in 1972. 9 years later I went to my first race there and saw Bobby Allison win the 600.

And just like that, Buddy baker is victorious at Charlotte for team petty enterprise and earns his 5th grand national win of 19. Loved seeing those hard charging Dodge chargers going up against the best Chevy Monte Carlos and 71 Mercury cyclones. Old school NASCAR at it's finest can't be beat!

1972 Charger is a Legend!!

Simply great coverage

Love that number 12 first generation Monte Carlo with coke sponsor red and gold paint scheme

Wendell Scott qualified 11th ! and had a good sponsor on car but he blew the guts out of engine. His last hurrah. Leeroy Yarbourough finished FIFTH, EIGHTEEN laps behind.

THANKS FOR THE POST! First time ive seen this, surprised to see.

Thanks for this race

Bud was fabulous!

Actor Darren McGavin who can be seen and is mentioned in this film played in the same year Lee Petty in the movie "43 - The Richard Petty Story" which can also be seen on Youtube. Guess who played Richard in that movie? The King Himself!

2 of the potent cars of that era gone with time::: Jr Johnson Coca Cola #12 Monte Carlo w/Bobby Allison, and Harry Hyde #71 Dodge Charger with Bobby Issac. But not gone n our memories.

I was 10 years old in 72 , we lived close to the ROCK and our dad took us to all the races circle track and drags. I had a pair of coke pants like the Bobby Allison pit crew wore. I would wear them to school , i thought they were so cool. That number 12 Monte Carlo was my car. Great days.

Love to see some of these cars made into 1/18 th scale diecast

Lots of green space (vacant field, small trees/shrubs etc.) in the infield near turn 3.

I was at this race. It was a long day. My first Nascar race after getting out of the Navy. I had just meant my future wife and bought my first new car.  1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport. Exact same color as in the Clint Eastwood movie. The good ole days.

I never knew that Bobby Allison had different number designs on the driver's door and the passenger door.
