Different days when you could run a two-year-old car and compete.

10X better racing than anything today. Hell,  the cars were as fast fifty years ago as today. That's what you call progress.

The car that went through the grass past Troyer was Elmo Langley...I was the jack man in his pit crew back then...

" The little wing car with the pointy nose", LOL... Super Bird

You can't beat the sound of big block V8's on the straights.

WHOA NELLY, that's a young Keith Jackson right there!
Best sports broadcaster of all time, hands down!

Way better to watch than today’s nascar.   The cars are as much as the drivers.   Love ford vs Chevy vs olds vs dodge

roll over accident ,,car built by Smokey Yunik held together !!! Curtis turner rolled the chevelle like that a few years earlier and he survived
shows that Smokey deserves a place in NASCAR hall of fame !!

Me and my best friend Greg Collins and his father went to this race when I was 16 years old from Fort Myers Florida Our car broke down on the way up and we fixed it we made it up there had a great time rented a couple motorcycles and rode up and down the beach back when 16 year olds were allowed to rent motorcycles I'm 70 year old man now time sure flies

I live in North Carolina and all I can say is God bless Richard Petty we love you, Richard

The announcers and their knowledge of cars is amazing. They instantly tell the history of a car in an accident and know who the car was built by, driven by, what crews it swapped through all on the fly. Amazing

Richard petty said that his best handling cars were the 71 to 74 b body mopars

Can we take a moment to realize an independent 305 small block dodge led this race and finished 7th despite wrecking out?

Could you imagine in today's nascar...

Weird seeing The King without cowboy hat and mustache

It was always great to hear A.J. Foyt being interviewed in NASCAR races... everyone knew he could drive any type of car and drive them better than most anyone (that is, until the cars got too good and lesser drivers could handle them).  He was soft-spoken and polite... and if someone got him mad he'd smash their head with an engine block.

When drivers  raced real stock body cars.

So the rules said that if you run a winged car, you need to run a tiny little engine.
That tiny little engine is a small block mopar, 305 cubic inch. about 450 horsepower and it was turning 10,000 RPM down the straights.

I wish I could like this 1,000 times

I remember building models of these cars back in the day. If they were to digitally enhance these videos, they would be better than ANY movies! Ah, the memories!
