My late Father, God bless him, he would always record over a VHS taped race atleast 3-4 times & of course, the quality of the recording went down everytime 😳 LOL! I lost Dad last year at the age of 84 & I sure miss watching these old taped races with him 😞🙏 RIP Pop

[@TheBrucepix]

Man that Dale was some driver. Makes sense what eventually happened, but he was a fireball every race!

[@evolved64]

I love the way the warped audio makes Jenkins sound like Christopher Walkin.

[@sillygoose2508]

Gotta love those old VCR tapes

[@rigel1974]

I really miss all of these short tracks.

[@lancehurley9743]

0:45 the great Tim Richmond driving that beautiful JD Stacy Buick Regal...

*POINT STANDINGS and WINS before the 1982 GWYN STALEY 400 (7 of 30):* #44 Terry Labonte (952 points, GM) #28 Benny Parsons (-59, GM) #88 Bobby Allison (-110 with 1 win, GM) #11 Darrell Waltrip (-142 with 2 wins, GM) #98 Morgan Shepherd (-154, GM) #33 Harry Gant (-165, GM) #15 Dale Earnhardt (-180 with 1 win, Ford) # Buddy Arrington (-194, Dodge) #43 Richard Petty (-216, GM) #71 Dave Marcis (-228 with 1 win, GM) Ridley (Ford #90 in 16th) is not really up to speed in the first few months. Ricky Rudd (GM #3) had 3 DNFs in the first 4 races so he’s well down in points. Cale Yarborough (GM #27) won the Carolina 500 despite aiming to only race around half of the season. 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 North Wilkesboro’s case, the Spring race is the Gwyn Staley 400 while the Fall one is the Wilkes 400.

[@backporchdriver3763]

Ron Kendrick. Nice. A really good friend of the family.

[@kurtperleberf6983]

This is much better than ABCs Wide World Of Sports.

[@33skoalbandit]

I will always associate watching old NASCAR races with Christmas Eve/Christmas Day

[@davidwilcox7241]

Why. Then don't associate it at all.

[@roberthanson579]

Priceless. NWS RIP.

[@JJA1987]

Darrell was pretty dominate at NW between 81-84 winning 6 outta 7 races

[@randydubin7118]

Does anybody know the name of the song that is playing at around 1:20? Many thanks for all of your ULs!

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Jean Luc Ponty New Country from the album Imaginary voyage

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Mr. luc Ponty is a JAZZ/Fusion artist from California, NOT a country artist. He has opened every single concert with what you are hearing and it turns into JAZZ. Just sayin’ lol.

[@hanksmith3731]

The song is Mel Tillis, It's a long way to Daytona.

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Oooops. Youre right,. The rest of show its LucPonty

[@movracefan]

Do you have more races from 1987 or before?

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Do you have the rain shortened Richmond race that Marcis won? Still remember desperately wanting it to keep raining lol

[@jessiehenry6314]

[@caulerbolis]

Friend Smiff ... I apologize, but BigRocky26 has ended activities on KZbin, could you tell me, please?

[@AlonsoRules]

1:41:20 - what was that caution for

[@jessiehenry5405]

A Fan Had A Heart Attack And The Ambulance Would Need To Leave The Track That Why The Caution Came Out

[@clarenceghammjr1326]

Did the ambulance do a victory lap?

[@KetchaWill]

Do you have 1981 race.

[@SMIFFTV]

I do not

[@03dktart]

I'm not sure if 1981 was even televised.

[@LCM2248]

It was not. This was the first North Wilkesboro race televised since 1970 and this is the first on ESPN

[@stevelatarte3693]

Darrell cartrip won

[@sillygoose2508]

Dam it you gave it away I should have known better than to scroll through the comments before watching the complete race
