1986 Firecracker 400 from Daytona International Speedway | NASCAR Classic Full Race Replay

The race you are about to see appear as originally broadcast and may contain imagery that is offensive and doesn't align with NASCAR's values. NASCAR has since permanently banned the display of the confederate flag at all events.

I would watch this racing any day of the week over the current garbage.

[@joett84]

This is a great video, excellent quality. The bad part is that it's so short, and that it's an ABC production. Could you post versions of these 1980's ABC races in the future that show the entire live satellite feed?

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Love watching these vintage races!! 🏁🏁

[@NASCAR]

Same!

[@JerryTanner_jereth]

Would give anything to have this back, today.

[@HODIUSDUDE]

Remember when they had 2 days of qualifying?

[@bostons2826]

Now they barely have practice lol

[@joett84]

If anyone who produces this channel reads this, could you upload the 1987 and 1988 Firecracker races, too? They are two of my all-time favorites. Thank you!!!

[@briansenecal3071]

Enjoyed. 🍻

After rules changes nascar is back to normal, the top chevy team getting the pole, leading all the laps, winning all the races and championships.

[@brianbooher7318]

Exactly that aerocoupe which was nuthing more than aero dynamic Band-Aid to cover up a pisss pour design by gm should never been allowed on track. All jus to catch one man in number 9

[@Andrew_460]

Nascar wrote the rule book to heavily favor the chevys. Its the only reason they won anything.

​​@@brianbooher7318That "piss poor design" dominated in 1981, 82, 83 and 84. The "Ford's" didn't dominate in 1985. Just Bill Elliott. I guess Dan and Ernie suck as car and engine builders if they couldn't build anything that could dominate those "band aid" GM cars. Ford fans STILL live in 1985 and haven't gotten over it in 40 years

[@brianbooher7318]

@@jessiehenry5405 no they should run what they produce which was a car apparently so bad they had to put an aerodynamic band aid on for 86

What was Buddy Baker thinking. Where did he finish?

250 000 horsepower in 42 cars? Big miss to make in a pre-taped segment...

[@mikes6457]

LMAO more like 29,000 hp

[@joett84]

That's ABC for ya.

I Like 1986 Buick LeSabre And Chevrolet Monte Carlo Super Sport Fastback Aero Coupe Totally Amazing Badass NASCAR Winston Cup Series Generation 3 In My Opinion Thanks For Uploading

[@jessiehenry5405]

They were ugly and other than Morgan shepherds win in Atlanta they were uncompetitive everywhere except Daytona and Talladega and at both trucks a little old lady could win in a Ford Fairmont

[@jefferyrobertson7520]

I Was Lifelong Buick And Chevrolet

[@joett84]

@@jessiehenry5405 But there were only a handful of Buick teams. Chevy had about half the cars in the field of a typical race, making it that much harder for the other makes to win a lot, simply from a numbers standpoint.

[@jessiehenry5405]

@@joett84 Right however by 1986 the field for the most part was equaled by Chevy And Fords Because they had better aerodynamics Than the Buick and olds Did

[@OSXMan]

Decent video quality on this one. Did NASCAR not have the equivalent of NFL Films? There should be 4K versions of many of these races. If there isn't, that's a shame.

[@BigSkyModelWorkshop]

Most are recovered TV broadcasts. I'm just appreciative that they've found and shared them!

[@JB0143RP]

This is great quality compared to what we normally have to watch.

[@HODIUSDUDE]

NO. There was no equivalent in auto racing to what Ed Sabol did with NFL Films. Dick Wallen and Bud Lindemann were about as close as it got. The ABC vaults probably have the deepest well of auto racing coverage. "Wide World of Sports" would feature select USAC and NASCAR events from around the mid 60's. ABC also had a "Championship Auto Racing" segment which I believe started around 1968.

[@OSXMan]

@@HODIUSDUDE Thank you! I wasn't knocking anybody. I just knew the NFL had real movie footage of everything. I bet NASCAR wishes they did too. I sure do.

[@HODIUSDUDE]

@@OSXMan Yeah, I do too. It's nice to see some of these classic races from the 1970s resurface.
