The race you are about to see appear as originally broadcast and may contain imagery that is offensive and doesn't align with NASCAR's values. NASCAR has since permanently banned the display of the confederate flag at all events.

This was an incredible entertaining race. It had a little bit of everything that made NASCAR great; lead changes, fuel mileage strategy, pit road performance, hard charging racers, bumping/ rubbing. This all made for excellent racing drama! Not only that, the best racers and owners NASCAR ever had with the likes of; Richard “The King”, Cale, David “The Silver Fox”, Bobby, Donnie and Neil (The Alabama Gang),Buddy “The Gentle Giant”, Ricky “Ironman”, Darrell “Jaws”, “High Groove” Harry, Dale “The Intimidator”, Terry “The Iceman”, “Buffet” Benny, Tim “Hollywood” and Junior Johnson “The Last American Hero” among many other greats! Thanks for sharing this race!

Funny, when NedJarret does his pit report sounds like he is talking into a large slurpie cup.

Video and sound quality are fabulous for 1981. Great job!

What a finish! You wont get that in Modern Nascar. There is no such thing as fuel strategy when the stage breaks eliminate it.

POINT STANDINGS and WINS before the 1981 CAROLINA 500 (4 of 31): #43 Richard Petty (510pts with 1 win, Buick) #2 Dale Earnhardt (-39, Pontiac) #28 Bobby Allison (-51 with 1 win, Chevrolet) #88 Ricky Rudd (-54, Oldsmobile) #90 Jody Ridley (-76, Ford) #75 Joe Millikan (-105, Buick) #47 Harry Gant (-148, Buick) #11 Darrell Waltrip (-153 with 1 win, Buick) #15 Benny Parsons (-170, Ford) Labonte (#44 Buick) was 14th so far while Cale Yarborough (#11 Oldsmobile) decided to move down to a partial schedule. 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 Rockingham’s case, the Spring race was the Carolina 500 while the Fall one was the American 500.

Hard to believe that Jenkins looked so young, ever. Also Richard Childress car looked like he had just rented it from Hertz. I hear they did that when they filimed the movies "Redline 7000" and "Speedway".

If they can race at the LA colisium, they can race here. Rockingham, a great race track.

I was sitting on the backstretch with my dad. Near the end, I was thinking, "Maybe Richard has enough gas." I was wrong. Ouch. NASCAR: bring back the Rock and I will attend my first race since 2015! I haven't even watched one on TV since 2018!

Does Cale have a window net? Or is it so thin that you can see Cale so clear.

I can count a bunch of ways why that product is so much better than the crap that they want us to watch today. Let's start with the cars....they are recognizable as actual stock cars. The pit stops are much more interesting and much less robotic. Work is more manual in the pits giving more room for error. There is no speed limit on pit road. Those are just a few of the things.
