[@quentinstacy35]

"The most fantastic pile up in auto racing history." Loved the story in this one.

Great shots of a brand new Daytona. Lotta stands and buildings yet to be erected.

[@danieljohnson9351]

Those '57 Chevys were just 3 years old at the time of this race. What a great variety of cars.

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Among the names that ran this race….Lee Petty (7th),Joe Weatherly (8th), Bobby Johns (9th), DONNIE ALLISON (15th), Wally Dallenbach (24th), Red Farmer (39th), Wendell Scott (45th), and Ralph Earnhardt who finished 67th after being involved in the BIG(GEST) one..

[@bloqk16]

Seeing the construction build of the cars in this race, I'm reminded of another YT posting of a early era NASCAR Modified-Sportsman Race, where the commenter wrote the cars appeared to be Frankenstein creations.

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Wendell Scott was involved in the 2 largest pileups in NASCAR history…..THIS race….and the one that ended his career at Talledega. How’s THAT for a nascar trivia question and answer

[@38skippers]

Love the old footage

Great to see Fireball run!

37 cars? There wouldn't be anyone left these days.

12:32 the largest crash

[@stephenperry8334]

I would do anything and I mean anything to relive the 70s and 80s. I was born in 1970 but I would love to live through the 60s racing

[@craigpennington1251]

WOW! To find a junk yard with all this in it. This is a gold mine here. No telling what all these cars are now. We can do without all the mindless babble though.

[@Racingbro1986]

What a guy that tiny Lund.

God that guard rail was so unsafe

[@karlplaysdrums]

Guardrail saved the city.

Awesome

[@raritania7581]

Joint race between what's now the Whelen and Xfinity series

[@plantfeeder6677]

I counted roughly 25 cars stopped. Add that to the 37 cars involved in the wreck and we're looking at at least a 62 car field! This is what prosperity looks like folks. Or how America functions without government intervention. Edit: make that a 68 car field. Good times for sure

[@almostfm]

Funny that you say it's "how America functions without government intervention" when it was at the end of Eisenhower's second term, when Federal spending had nearly doubled during his time in office-most of that increase being infrastructure spending.

Super Duty Pontiacs ready to take over then in 1961 - 62 when they Ruled NASCAR 🏁🏆😎

[@ricksaunders3889]

Cheese N Rice, was there anything that generation couldn't do.

[@barrysims9906]

when I started watching I was wondering how big the pileup would be. glad no one was hurt. this was cool to watch these cowboys just give er the gas.

Yes Jack, tween pit road and the front stretch. They still have a temporary motocross track there during bike week.
