Seeing old footage really makes me wish I could’ve experienced this golden era of nascar, but at least I can watch this stuff for free.
@Joseph George Your post is worded exactly as mine would be, right down to being a Pearson fan as a 6 year old kid in 1969.
Yes sir, it was a great time to be alive.
Life in NASCAR could be a hard one back in that era. Seeing the brief clips of Cotton Owens, would you believe was 46 years old at that time? I checked it online, he was born in 1924.
I love the racecars on the darlintonspeedway from 1940—2000
Current cars look like child toys near these beastly machines
26:11 that prediction didn’t age well
Cale Yarborough, Wood Brother’s No. 21 Mercury.
Awesome,thanks for the upload.
Love it!
Thanks
1970….not only the Zenith of stock car racing, and muscle cars, but of America in general.
One thing that amazes me is how darn good the camera work is! Some of it beats the coverage of todays races! Many thanks for uploading these.
It was remarkable back then as they were using film, which meant they had a finite amount of minutes to running the film camera before changing out film reels [probably cartridges] with the camera.
Why the confederate flag in winners circle?
“Southern” 500
“Southern 500 ,also a dig at the Indianapolis 500 because Indianapolis speedway threw the tracks owner out of the Indianapolis speedway a few years earlier
Why not??
Damn Them mopars were something else
THESE ARE REAL NASCARS THE CARS NOW ARE JOKES
Buddy Bakers 3rd Grand national win, and a well overdue win at Darlington! I am truly amazed by the effort put into this footage and even more amazed by how well its held up since 1970. This video is pure gold, thanks for another Golden era NASCAR Race NAO!
Back when you could tell a Chevy from a ford or dodge nice
Back when we knew what a real woman was
Thank you for this great historical footage.
