18:20 Petty was THROUGH. You know he's a complete hard ass,too, and to see him in that shape, you know things were hellish.

Terry Labonte bookended his career with a win in the 2003 Southern 500.

Jim Lampley doing NASCAR?! That’s incredible.

*POINT STANDINGS and WINS before the 1980 SOUTHERN 500 (23 of 31):* #2 Dale Earnhardt (3310 points with 3 wins, Chevrolet) #11 Cale Yarborough (-23 with 4 wins, Chevrolet) #43 Richard Petty (-113 with 2 wins, Chevrolet) #27 Benny Parsons (-216 with 2 wins, Chevrolet) #88 Darrell Waltrip (-261 with 4 wins, Chevrolet) #15 Bobby Allison (-376 with 2 wins, Ford) #90 Jody Ridley (-541, Chevrolet) #3 Richard Childress (-610, Chevrolet) Despite his great 1979 season, Joe Millikan (Chevrolet) had to scale down to a partial schedule for 1980 and even became Petty’s relief driver after he got injured in the Pocono 500. Part-timer Buddy Baker (Chevrolet) won the Daytona 500 and the Alabama 500, Neil Bonnett won the Pocono 500 and the Talladega 500 while David Pearson won the Rebel 500 after taking over the Chevrolet #1 Donnie Allison used to race.. Drivers listed are the season's current top8, last season's top8 plus whatever race winner that doesn't fit any of those 2 descriptions. Yes, I’m using the unsponsored names of the races. In Darlington’s case, the Spring race was the Rebel 500 while the Labor day one was the Southern 500.

[@MrChristopherHaas]

is this Sam Poseys debut? I watched Ponono 1980 last night and Jackie Stewart was accusing Neil Bonnet of skullduggery for using entire straightaway to hold off Mr. Baker and the #11 car while Mr. Economacki enthusiastically endorsed Mr. Bonnets efforts. I agree with Mr. Economacki and im wondering if that, in effect, resulted in the change. If so they replaced one road racer with another and, in spite of Mr. Stewarts call for clean driving and sportsmanship where grit was needed lol i still prefer Mr. Stewart and it aint even close. I believe Mr. Earnhardt would have agreed, he never punched Mr. Stewart in the nose like he did Mr. Posey years later after Mr. Posey asked him a question about…clean driving at Atlanta 😂.

[@blackpagan100]

Earnhardt punched Posey?

[@MrChristopherHaas]

@@blackpagan100 Posey admitted as such on ABC sports Atlanta broadcast, yes. Pretty sure it was one of Mr. Sheppards wins there. Ill try and track it down for ya, hilarious stuff listening to Posey snivel.

[@briansenecal3071]

I agree
