1983 Daytona 500 from Daytona International Speedway | NASCAR Classic Full Race Replay

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

🏁Enjoyed!!!🏁 Sure miss Cale and that Hardee's car, he was a NASCAR legend.

[@beeemm2578]

Cale had some super iconic rides. I was actually looking back at all of them the other day. That butterscotch/white colored #11 Holly Farms car was my fave.

[@bradsawyer3185]

My lord this was so good.

[@beeemm2578]

Right? Besides the stupid momentum killing "stages", and training wheel aesthetic to it all now, there was just a danger and urgency to these days. Its obvious as hell. Its not a subtle thing..lol. Balls out, mfers!! 😅😅

[@briantaylor9285]

NASCAR was WILD back in the '80's.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true!!!!

[@briantaylor9285]

@@THROTTLEPOWER need this level of racing back. Give the cars more power. 180 in qualifying is sad

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@briantaylor9285 I agree!!!

[@beeemm2578]

@@briantaylor9285 just casually watching nascar now, it looks embarrassingly slow. There's no excitement or daring,if you will. It so controlled and rule choked that its completely neutered.

[@DavidJameson89]

Love the opening intro and the music.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yep, me too. They sure don't do it like that anymore!

Cale Yarborough uses a promotional car from a nearby Hardee's to try and win the 500, does Cale's backup car make 1983 the greatest 500? FIND OUT

[@Nasty-Canasta]

It was not a promotional car. It's was an actual car that the Ranier team has used. It was the same car Benny Parsons broke the 200mph barrier with at Talladega the year before. It was being retired to a show car. It was at the 28 shop when it was loaded up and taken to Daytona. It was not at a Hardee's like the urban legend says. This is all according to Waddell Wilson

[@yojoeski]

@@Nasty-Canasta The body on this car was later sold to the Johnny Hayes team and was on the car that Phil Parsons destroyed in his 1983 flip at Talladega. If you look at pictures of the wreck, you can clearly make out some of the orange paint on the underside of the fenders, hood and front bumper of the car.

[@blackpagan100]

Amazing move by Cale at the end. Makes some strange noises as he drives though!

[@thomashallman5436]

hey ol bo duke was at this daytona 500 with texas terry labonte terry finished 6th that day after startin next to last great run texas terry miss both you and john schneider both

[@1mind2have4now]

Anyone know what that weird groaning noise is from Cale Yarborough's in-car broadcast? I can only guess it's radio interference.

[@GameCatcher89]

He was making engine noises like a kid would with a toy car

[@beeemm2578]

Watching the new nascar, it seems like they're crawling compared to this. Its absolutely noticeable.

[@vinceedwards575]

EVERYTHING about this race was 100 times better than that manure they have now which is 2024. The racing was better, TV coverage, announcers, no silly graphics.. not manufactured drama.. just freaking racing.

[@beeemm2578]

Amen. My dad passed away in '11, and he was a HUGE racing fan, especially nascar. He was grumbling about it even before he passed .......he'd shit a bloody twinkie if he saw wtf nascar has become now.

[@Mountaineermike66]

Agreed. CBS did such an amazing job with the broadcast. These kids today are no match for the talent back in the day.

[@vinceedwards575]

@@Mountaineermike66 Yep.. back then the drivers were basically manhandling a dump truck at 200 mph

[@nesbittgregory]

damn skippy. Well said. I was one of those kids with all of the matchbox/hotwheels nascar cars all over the carpet in front of the TV when nascar was on....Dad damn sure wasn't going to let anyone change the channel. LOL. Probably like most dads back then..would wake me up somewhat early on Sunday, saying I'm not going to let you sleep all day....but 10 minutes later while watching the race...he'd fall asleep in the recliner...LOL.

1:05:53 computers hit the racing scene. Thats amazing. Although im pretty sure this isnt the first use of computing shenanigans....still fascinating though.

[@jamessharp9790]

That was a great race . Back up car and all.

**FACTS BEFORE the 1983 DAYTONA 500** · Several interesting drivers changed rides or numbers. Kyle Petty changed the number to #7 thanks to sponsorship by 7Eleven. Tim Richmond moved to the new GM #27 BlueMax car (in 1982 that was MC Anderson and Cale Yarborough drove it). Cale himself moved to the GM #28 Ranier car. Buddy Baker went from the #28 to Ford #21 from the Wood Brothers. Neil Bonnet went from the Wood brothers to the GM #75 from RahMoc. DiGard Racing added a 2nd car: Geoff Bodine would drive the typical #88 while Bobby Allison got the new #22. Morgan Shepherd started the season without a proper seat while Jody Ridley moved to a much reduced schedule after leaving the Ford #90 from Donlavey (Richard Brooks got that car). · The 5th Clash saw the first 2 accidents in Clash history. First, Bobby Allison lost control exiting T4 and hit the wall before the pitlane and then there was a small final-lap pile-up after Darrell Waltrip tried to block Terry Labonte from trying to jump from the 3rd to 1st starting in T3. · Ricky Rudd and Geoff Bodine got the front row for the Daytona 500. · On Duel #1, Bruce Jacobi had a nasty crash after he lost control exiting T2, caught air, bit the wet grass and flipped very violently. He went into a coma in hospital and died in 1987. Earnhardt won the race. Names like Arrington, DW, McDuffy, Phil Parsons and others didn’t make the field by finishing in the top15 so they had to rely on their qualifying speeds. · On Duel #2, Rusty Wallace had a very similar crash to Jacobi but his post-bite flip was less violent. Neil Bonnet won the race and this time names like Allison, Shepherd, Rick Wilson, Jimmy Means, Sterling Marlin, Slick Johnson and Joe Millikan all failed to get in the top15. · In the end, Shepherd, Millikan, Slick, Wilson and of course Rusty all failed to make the field. A total of 70+ drivers tried to make the field.
