Babe wake up NASCAR CLassics just uploaded a 60fps video!

[@ryanwalker1593]

Another awesome finish. Of course you have Earnhardt's infamous crash where he was able to walk away. It was crazy seeing him and Richmond get down then back up the bank.

[@JonCarlo_]

great race and great call by the duo doing the play by play. LOVE the late 70's early 80's racing!!

*POINT STANDINGS and WINS before the 1982 POCONO 500 (18 of 30):* #44 Terry Labonte (2487 points, GM) #88 Bobby Allison (-29 with 4 wins, GM) #11 Darrell Waltrip (-136 with 6 wins, GM) #15 Dale Earnhardt (-326 with 1 win, Ford) #33 Harry Gant (-343 with 1 win, GM) #67 Buddy Arrington (-359, Dodge) #71 Dave Marcis (-417 with 1 win, GM) #47 Ron Bouchard (-453, GM) Richard Petty (GM #43 in 10th) had an unprofitable Summer. Benny Parsons (11th) was having a hard time securing a good seat after getting pissed at Ranier for some mechanical DNFs. Ricky Rudd (GM #3 in 12th) stopped suffering from so many mechanical DNFs. Jody Ridley (Ford #90 in 13th) has been improving over the months. Cale Yarborough (GM #27) won the Carolina 500 and the Motor State 400 and Neil Bonnet (Ford #21) won the World 600 despite both aiming to only race around half of the season. Tim Richmond (GM #2) got his maiden win in the Riverside 400km. 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 Pocono’s case, the early race is the Pennsylvania 500 while the later one is the Pocono 500.

The Earnhardt-Richmond crash in turn one was one of the first horrific crashes in turn one that I know of to have taken place in either NASCAR or USAC/CART, and it was fortunate that both drivers were able to walk away from it. Just a few weeks later, Johnny Rutherford had a similarly horrifying crash in the Pocono 500 in the same turn that he, too, was able to walk away from that may have hastened the end of Jim Hall's first foray into IndyCar racing. Why NASCAR and USAC/CART allowed tracks like Pocono and Michigan to run with a boilerplate wall or a guard rail as the retaining wall as late as the 1980s (Pocono wouldn't have a concrete wall in that treacherous first turn until 1990) is beyond me. I know concrete isn't forgiving and what they have now with the SAFER barrier is much better, but it was better than what Pocono and Michigan had at the time for a retaining wall.

23:45 four wide for the lead

[@M1lesJames]

@35:12 Look at them welding the wall back together. Poconos walls were made of boilerplate and not concrete up until 1989. Greg Sacks and Lake Speed wrecked into it had broke the wall apart

[@AustinLaPlante]

A young Rick Benjamin as well!

[@mattfulmer4243]

Dick Brooks did a really good job commentating on the race.

[@STP43FAN1]

Huge race. Still upset Petty didn’t win.

[@bcfmef]

Earnhardt tore up a lot of those #15 Bud Moore race cars in 82-83. Call him the Greatest of all Time or whatever, but man he was a car destroyer in those years.

[@dirtymo5232]

26 mechanical issues in those 60 races. 5 dnfs from crashes. But you do you.

[@jimbeanbragger9209]

Because the cars were garbage

[@briansenecal3071]

Yep, i agree. He aged Bud 10 years unnecessary

[@bcfmef]

@@dirtymo5232 yeah he ran the dog piss out of Buds cars back in the days when weak valve springs was an issue amongst many engine builders in that time

[@plantfeeder6677]

Still the only two years I rooted for him.

[@allenvick4584]

No, Donnie was injured at Charlotte in 1981 in the world 600 with a crash involving Dick, Brooks

[@brianpatrickreddington1750]

what TV Network brodcasted the race

[@canon1753]

Mizzlou network

[@OldHickoryAndyJackson]

[@allenvick4584]

No, Donnie was injured in the world 600 in Charlotte in May 1981 in s crash with Dick Brooks
