1964 Firecracker 400

[@superbird4351]

AJ Foyt’s first Grand National win

[@es7614]

Wow, how cool is the little racing docu-drama? Instantly transported to my youth. You've done it again, Mr. Smiff. THANK YOU

[@bloqk16]

Although this is going back 55+ years, I still can't wrap my brain around the fact that Foyt was driving a Dodge! As I always associated him as a Ford man.

[@tarasbulba3190]

He drove the Dodge because he needed to win.

"Like a squadron of P 38's!" Most people today have no idea. 🇺🇲👍

'64 was a fairly good season for A.J... If you look close at the left front fender of his car, it has primer on it from when it was hastily repaired after a practice incident the day before the race.

ABC footage of the 1970 Alabama 500 will be re-discovered in 95 minutes. NASCAR will do a premiere of the footage.

5:09 holy crap that crash

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Same spot Rudd,Waltrip, Cale, and on and on crashed

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Cudos to Bud Moore/Dieringer for putting that Ford on the pole with all of those thundering hemis

[@goldenltd1970]

Maybe the Fords had already the 427 high risers?

[@MrChristopherHaas]

@@goldenltd1970 yep

Darel was the faster of only two cars that qualified on the first day of time trials. After Jim Paschal and he made their runs, the rest of the session was rained out. In those days the cars already timed in before a rainout would get the up-front starting positions. I'm not sure when they changed that rule.

64 was the year for the 426. Don Garlits said Keith Black bought a semi load of em. We know what happened next.

[@fratzogmopars]

Back when “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” was possible. Not so with today’s “stock cars”.

[@MrChristopherHaas]

SMIFF!

[@Jhihmoac]

...When "stock" actually WAS - as close to stock as possible! A very far, FAR cry from now! 6:18 -If it wasn't an accident, THAT'S when you knew both car and driver were done for the day!

200 miles was half way not 250

[@tarasbulba3190]

Gee, where's all the TOYOTA'S???🥴 Oh that's right, this was an American sport back in the day. Today's NASCAR really sucks by comparison.

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Literally nothing wrong with Toyota in American Motorsports. All manufactures are welcome, boomer

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

@lol shit nothing, he is just some boomer who is against foreign manufactures in American Racing
