1984 Daytona 500 from Daytona International Speedway | NASCAR Classic Full Race Replay

[@shawdowsanddust5301]

The cars, drivers, commentating, engine sounds, camera angles....ALL OF IT was at its peak. The best NASCAR ever was and I'm glad I was alive to see it.

[@cool3865]

80s and 90s NASCAR had some of the best years and racing

[@billkaldem5099]

The crap we have now is just not worth watching

[@Carolinian4372]

RIP Ken Squier, Chris Economaki, Cale Yarborough, Dale Earnhardt, Neil Bonnett, Buddy Baker, Buddy Arrington, Lennie Pond, David Pearson, Dick Trickle, Tim Richmond, Ron Bouchard, Dean Roper, Trevor Boys, Dick Brooks, Connie Saylor, Tommy Gale. All participants in this race and many more. Great drivers, champions and broadcasters.

[@jamessharp9790]

You got that right.

[@D2RCR]

Lots of legends in these early 80s races.

[@beeemm2578]

Some say '81-'87 is peak, alpha Nascar. Hard to argue...look at that list...thats just the legends that have passed.

[@jessiehenry5405]

And now Bobby Allison

[@billkaldem5099]

Amen

[@colbydobbs6399]

It’s such a shame what super speedway racing has become. This is such exciting, interesting, compelling racing. Love watching these old races.

[@johnhopkins6565]

I’ve watched this replay a hundred times, still amazes me how much better the racing was then than now.

[@wesleypursiful5653]

Absolutely!!!

[@richwoodland4985]

No stage breaks or gimmicks

[@MacNur-tu3cq]

​@@richwoodland4985sadly the young kids that Nascar panders to, are all about stages. Young fans actually think today is good racing ..

[@cool3865]

@@MacNur-tu3cq can you imagine, 30 years from now, those kids are going to watch old videos of 2024 NASCAR and remember how much better it was

[@chadblades1948]

Unreal how much I love nascar and yet I don’t even bother watching new races.

[@MacNur-tu3cq]

You're not only one. These new cars are slow and ugly. The drivers are boring and bland. The racing is dumbed down.

[@douglasdixon524]

There's too much wrong with NASCAR today to list. I'm just glad that I get to watch racing from the best decades in racing, the 1950s thru the 1990s. This is great, also SMIFFTV posts some great stuff.

[@evanwilliams6406]

RIP Cale Yarborough doing what he is remembered best for, driving a finely tuned machine to the front of the pack and to the win. Godspeed and thanks for the great memory.

[@beeemm2578]

He was certainly one of my absolute faves. Always a threat to win.

[@EdsterIII]

I remember back when I was a kid growing up during the 70's. Richard Petty was my favorite driver. The #43 car was so iconic and incredibly cool to see run! I'll never forget when I got my Richard Petty AFX/TYCO slot car. I collect, or I used to collect Hot Wheels until my health declined. About 4 or 5 years ago I started working on a Nascar collection. I really wish that these Die-Cast companies would focus on some of the classic cars. Like the 1980's, specifically 83-87, or the 1970's as well. The Petty Dodge Daytona "Super-Bird" was one other top cars! Being able to watch these races from the 70's and 80's brings back some extremely great memories. Thanks for sharing these races with us. For me anyway Nascar was at it's best from 1972-1990. I still enjoy Nascar now but the cars basically look the same, and the few things that make them different is really subtle. I will say that they improved the 2024 cars over the last few years, but still not much better however. I definitely subscribed to this channel and I'm looking forward to seeing other 70's, 80's, and 90's races. Man the 70's and 80's had some really amazing, iconic, incredibly talented, and very aggressive and fearless.

[@davesmith5092]

I forgot how good the commentary and interviews were back then.

[@troydavidson3585]

[@WildDiamond07]

RIP to both Ken Squier and Cale Yarborough

[@austindenotter19]

Hey, there is people in attendance. Lots of them!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

🏁Always enjoy watching these vintage races!🏁

[@garyabriola2565]

Absolutely my friend, I couldn't agree more... All was well in the world of Nascar. It didn't get any better than this!! Cale Yarborough wins two in a row in that great looking Hardee's #28 Waddell Wilson Prepared Harry Rainer car...

[@mikerich3591]

305 total victories and 14 championships between the top five finishers. Just unbelievable talent fighting for the win every week back then.

[@shawdowsanddust5301]

This was about the time I fell head over heels for the Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

[@averylargebear]

What is this music that they play at the beginning during the driver's intros? This would be my walk-up music for anything

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE THE MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BEING USED IN NASCAR RACING!!!! TOTALLYAWSOME!!!!

[@KevinJL]

I love that Hardee's car so much.

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE IT!!!! OLD SCHOOL NASCAR RACING!!!!! THIS IS TOTALLY AWSOME!!!!!

[@nascarvintage17]

the music in intro of presentation of cars is so cool with the driver + the cars Why don't they do that anymore these days? in 2024

[@DanArnets1492]

**FACTS BEFORE the 1984 DAYTONA 500** · Contrary to the past couple of seasons, only a couple of top drivers changed cars for 1984. Richard Petty left the family’s team to go with Mike Curb, Ricky Rudd and Dale Earnhardt swapped cars, Geoff Bodine joined the new Hendrick Motorsports and Neil Bonnet joined Junior Johnson, who now had 2 cars. · The 6th Clash was marked by the crazy blowover crash of Ricky Rudd (Ford #15) coming off T4 and by the last lap 3-way fight for the win, which went to Neil Bonnet (GM #12). · Cale Yarborough (GM #28) and Terry Labonte (GM #44) got the front row for the Daytona 500, both at close to 202mph. · Duel #1 was marked by the many car-related retirements (7 out of 36) and a 3-car crash halfway through with no serious injuries. Cale Yarborough won it easily ahead of Elliott (Ford #9), Baker (Ford #21), Bonnet (GM #12) and Bodine (GM #5). · Sneva, Petty and Earnhardt all suffer from car troubles on Duel #2, a race most remembered by Randy LaJoie’s vicious half-roll where he hit the inside wall coming out of T4. 1983 champion Bobby Allison (GM #22) won it ahead of Gant (GM #33), Labonte (GM #44) and Benny Parsons (GM #55). · In the end, Tom Sneva was the highest-profile non-qualifier. Other well-known drivers that had problems in the duels like Foyt, Ruttman, Petty and Earnhardt all made the field thanks to their qualifying speed.

[@johnbehneman1546]

RICHARD PETTY IS PASSIONATE ABOUT NASCAR, AND NASCAR DRIVING!!!!! SO INSPIRATIONAL!!!!

[@MichaelWilliams-vb6wr]

Wonder why that tac was turned like that 6:46 on Junior Johnson car like it was crooked

[@gary24fan]

I think they used to turn the gauges so that the needles were all pointed in the same direction if everything was normal, so the driver could just take a very quick look, see where the needles were at without trying to read the numbers, and then look back to the track.

[@kurtomac2386]

The music they use during the driver introductions is the same used for WWF prime time wrestling back in the 80s with gorilla monsoon and Bobby Heenan. I knew I heard it before

[@HarbingerOfBattle]

Holy crap I don't see any bare patches of aluminum in the stands!

1:45:00 - a very young Mike Helton behind Chris Economaki in the Goodyear suite.

[@gary24fan]

It was actually closer to 1:52:00 and that might be Mike Helton or it might be someone who looks like him or it might be John Oates.
