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

Guy NHL Loo lo

[@danieljohnson9351]

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

[@johnsweet8508]

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

[@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

Love those old cars!

Wonderful, cheered me up, thanks for sharing.

[@gaffneyrailroading1982]

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

[@allieswears6903]

My dads car was in that race. Driven by Dick Nephew of New York

"Don't take me out coach! I can still race!"

[@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.

[@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

[@Racingbro1986]

What a guy that tiny Lund.

[@raritania7581]

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

[@toddclark332]

I love the 70cars ❤

[@saddletramp6935]

Todd there's not 70s car in the race, no 60s either all fifties. Ford's, chevies,olds,buicks, Pontiacs, studebakers, nash. Now you know.

[@ajthenascarexpert]

@@saddletramp6935that was the modified and sportsman series at the time, run what ya brung crapshoot

[@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.

[@stevensons78]

Awesome

[@DixytheGoat9]

God that guard rail was so unsafe

[@karlplaysdrums]

Guardrail saved the city.

[@DixytheGoat9]

@@karlplaysdrums Tell that to Lee Petty and Johnny Beauchamp

@@DixytheGoat9 Cale went for a flight also, if that's what you're referring to.

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

[@karlplaysdrums]

Wait a minute... they're deleting the horns!?! Nope!!

[@barrysims9906]

Too bad Nascar fell off the track. I no longer follow their series.

I stopped sometime in the 90's

[@MayoFilms83]

How do they make the Gen 7 cars today? Not stock anymore.

[@bobbobberton7920]

Haven't been stock since 66, maybe not even then.

Modern NASCAR is so sterile.

Repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is one of many signs of his coming along with the Maui fires and the Euphrates river drying up

True stock cars. There is nothing street car about modern nascar not one part.

[@bobbobberton7920]

Haven't been stock since 1966.

[@MarinCipollina]

@@bobbobberton7920 No, but back in the early '60s those big Pontiacs, Chevys and Plymouths roared.
