1986 Budweiser At The Glen from Watkins Glen | NASCAR Classic Race Replay

[@stevemccall3383]

Tim Richmond was so good. He almost certainly would have rivaled Dale Earnhardt head to head for many more years. He was a true wheelman. Gone too soon.

[@TheCandiRose]

Bob Jenkins was the voice of American motorsports for myself and a lot of others who grew up in the 80's and 90's. His legacy will live forever.

[@bdonova1]

I was there! Sitting between turn 1 and the esses. Glad the rain held off as it was a gloomy day and it looked like it could rain at any point. I've been to almost every race there since 86, except for one or two years. I'll be there again in a couple of weeks.

[@MichaelRCarlson]

Cars that looked like cars...you could almost create these at home. Sounds wonderful. Exciting racing, epic drivers. Nascar was so mega back then. THIS was racing!

Woa….Al Unser Sr, Bob Jenkins (RIP) and Rick Mears as a commentator…oh they 80s. Love it!

Bob Jenkins was the best!!

[@edwardvanhoose2726]

We just lost Bob this week that's what propelled me to watch this race cuz I knew he called it. He was a very humble approachable and down-to-earth guy he would have a conversation with anybody that wanted to. He will be missed in the racing community

There have been many, many wonderful periods of NASCAR, but to me this might be the peak: 1986 had Tim Richmond at his best being mentored by Harry Hyde with Bodine and the #5 team being entirely reconstituted under Gary Nelson and winning Daytona. It had Earnhardt in the #3 Wrangler car winning the Winston Cup, with the ‘85 Cup Champion Waltrip in Junior Johnson’s Budweiser #11 with Bonnett in #12, Rusty Wallace began his rise in the #27 Blue Max car and got his first victory, Ricky Rudd was in the Bud Moore car, and Alan Kulwicki had his rookie season. There were also so many champions still in their prime, like Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough, Buddy Baker in the #88 Crisco car, and Bobby Allison racing against his son Davey. There was the drama of the Elliott brothers coming off their insane 1985 season when Bill Elliott and the #9 Coors car became legends, along with amazing independents and owner/drivers like Dave Marcis and Jimmy Means. Benny and Phil Parsons, Harry Gant, Kenny Schrader in Junie Donlavy’s car, Terry Labonte in the Piedmont #44? Just perfect.

i notice Elliott and Rudd have a different aero package on their fords than on oval tracks. interesting... looks good.

[@bleedorange1998]

This raw satellite feed was probably the best footage they could find of this race if I had to guess, which also explains why we don't see any ESPN graphics.

[@justinrad5073]

Wish the cars still looked like this.

[@superkgy]

these things drive like buses on a road course. awesome :D

[@jacekatalakis8316]

Huh, things I never knew... Pancho Carter/Big Al/Rock Noop made Winston Cup starts. I assume that's Rick Mears in the booth? Yes they are lethal but the cigarette liveries work so, so well with the car bodies. Same for Indycars of the time too. No Bus Stop, that was five years away and many crashes latel Buddy Baker as a crew chief. It may be nostalgia talking but the cars looked cleaner and simpler and had unique styles without all the flares and trickery. Why can't we go back to the simple, clean lines? I know that's what the Gen7's going for but really, we all know the teams will screw it up when they get their hands on it...

[@fueldragster]

George Follmer was also in the field and Willy T Ribbs was a DNS

Why is there never any mention of the v6 powered cars. Waltrip was fast with a v6 in the early 80’s as well but never any comments from the announcers about it.

[@BLACKOMAMBO]

Not only that, from the fans too, nobody even mention it in the comment, the peculiar sound made me do some reserch on the subject

[@billymartin6824]

The Cup series did not use V6 engines. The Busch series did starting in 1982.

[@JeromyBranch]

Used to watch this with my dad long distance phone call. We took turns paying each week. This race I remember we kept asking "Who is the dummy doing color commentary?" Lol Rick Mears didnt know squat about NASCAR. Bob Jenkins though...the man!

[@DanEBoyd]

And then when Ned and Benny joined the booth, we had the greatest announcing team ever assembled! ESPN of the '80s and '90s will always be my favorite presenters of this stuff. It just wasn't as good after the 'new' TV contract, post-ESPN...

@@travisdavid7606 Sure sounds like a V6, but I'll bet that it's due to trickery such as having certain individual primary tubes crossing over to the other bank's trunk pipe. (post collector) Maybe a flat-plane crank or something like that? All of the above???

[@tuowl0564]

@@stephanienoblet8503 Ricky Rudd actually slid into/killed one of Bill Elliotts crew members, Mike Richt, at the 1990 season finale at Atlanta. As a result, pit road speed was introduced in 1991. Originally NASCAR tried some convoluted pit road procedures where only certain cars could pit but that didn't last long. The 1991 Daytona 500 was a bit of a circus because of the dumb pit road rules.
