That season of 1967 there was a pennant race with the White Sox, Red Sox, Tigers, and Twins. It was the Red Sox who captured the American League pennant.

Love this!!!

I was a Pearson fan for many years and that Purolator Mercury 21 was a work of art.

He wrecked Sam Ard at Caraway back in the late 70’s. I never could pull for him but I respected his talent

LFG!!

Dang indycars at the Fairgrounds

thank you Calhoun98 for posting. TNN & TNN Motorsports was indeed a great channel . Love these old shows, to include Neil Bonnetts show "Winners", ...Don't forget that Dale Jr. did a throwback to old racing ..It was called " Back in The Day"...its somewhere on here..or used to be.

Wow! This is from back when stock car racing was what it was meant to be. Wonderful! Thanks for posting this!

The Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is about the love of a sport and family of winners and losers that had fun for over a hundred years. Never let this die because this track can entertain millions more. It use to hold the state record for the largest crowd at a sports event. No matter what we race in the future this track would be good for it.

Hi Calhoun! I'd love to see if you have the VHS you tapped this too!!

Best looking race cars EVER.... did I say EVER. Even without sound...poetry in motion says it all.

Racing success and fame never changed David Pearson, or any other of that class of drivers. That's class, real class.

He has to have had one of the COOLEST trophy rooms! In an old Grocery Store!

Buddy Baker and Johnny Rutherford!!

Jaws Got Lucky Again

the great McCulloch engines unreal power for 12 lbs

I was a Bobby Allison fan but David was great

Without audio, it's interest is limited, and academic in nature.

I remember that horror of 1971 my first year of school. Was dang near a riot the first day. My parents put me in private school after that thank God. That's when private schools popped up everywhere in Nashville for the White kids. I graduated in 83 the year of this broadcast.

Like watching some 8mm home movies. Great stuff. Love the roadsters. So cool. Thanks for posting.

When racing was the best in my opinion I think big money has ruined the sport today

First Indy car race I attended.

Pearson wasn't just great, he was the greatest.

My dad and I raced with Duffy. My dad was on the go kart racing team back in the early 60s with Duffy and all the other guys in 1960 the go kart grand nationals were held at Azusa California!!

I can't believe that ESPN would've even put the money into sending out a crew to film a midget race....This is the infancy of ESPN and cable TV for that matter. ....ESPN took a HUGE risk when it started the whole thing that's why I can't believe they spent the money to send out a whole crew to Terre Haute Indiana for a midget race when in 1980 ESPN and cable networks were mostly bleeding cash !.....It obviously paid off in the end look at ESPN now....Actually it sucks now but hey I like the good ol days !....

Joe is quite the diplomat.

I’d bet Combee was here - Combee Electric. Had the engines in the office. Big Ol’ B-Bombs!

Seeing this looking at the background is like going home. I lived 1/4 mile from the silver fox .I talked to him on several occasions at his property. He was a good friend of a uncle of mine also a older guy I worked with was also a friend of both of them. I asked Mr. Pearson about them he told me to tell them to look him up and give him a call so they could catch up with each other. He was a class act and a great man. R.I.P. SILVER FOX

Man, the King here was dedicated to his look - hat and shades in his own home? Pretty rad. What an admirable character.

I’ve come to really love Buddy Baker after re-engaging with “Winston Cup” or Grand National racing the past year, given how many races are available here on YT. The drivers in these golden years were all such characters and each seemed to have hundreds of stories about stock car drivers and races. Waltrip always had something to say, but even guys who were a little more reserved, like Baker or Pearson, were so funny and so charismatic.

Woow!!!great stuff!!!Thanks man!

Remember this race. I was 7 and DW was my favorite. Fun day

Why is there no sound,

Oh wow....Awesome

Did these cars run wide open?

The person who filmed this '67 I.R.P. Indy race ( the late, great Robin Miller, maybe, as one comment stated?) seemed to like following car # 90 a lot. I wonder (without looking up car numbers and drivers of the U.S.A.C. sanctioning Indianapolis Champ cars of 1967) if that driver was Mike Mosley? The following year (1968) Mosley was driving an A.J. Watson prepared car for that year. Anyway...who won that Raceway Park road course event? I'll have to look it up somewhere.

Love The nostalgia, its so crazy to listen to the problems of the world when i was a kid as an adult, now I know why my Dad use to yell at the TV so much.

Every time they did a taping it seems like it was cloudy or rainy.

The King was an excellent representative to the fans! Guys like him grew the sport to its peak! We can all put it on Earnhardt or Gordon but the King brought them all to that level! Always seemed like a hardworking, blue collared man that fans could look up to. We lost that when all the teams went looking for "the next Jeff Gordon".

He definitely goes down as a great! I'm sure some hated him and others loved him, but either way, his impact was massive!
