1986 Winston Western 500 at Riverside International Raceway | NASCAR Classic Full Race Replay

[@Terick5]

These old race uploads are awesome, I hope it continues. I love watching the 80’s on back races.

[@EricCox4848]

Tim Richmond's 7th win of the year, Earnhardt's 2nd Cup title the race before, and once again we all see how treacherous Riverside was. This would be the last time we see Tim Richmond until the Winston and Pocono in 1987.

[@sheawhitmire8933]

These were the days!!!

[@BaffinSailor]

I was fortunate enough as a kid to watch a race at Ontario and Riverside before they closed. They were both awesome tracks it only sucks they were shut down.

[@trecooledge1326]

Tim Richmond was one hell of a race car driver... NASCAR could absolutely continue to use to body style cars that they run now, but everything beneath the sheet metal, including going back and running on the Good Year Bias Ply tire instead of the radials, so the drivers would be able to throw the cars left and right and run the cars sideways thru the turns with the right rear or left rear tire rolling smoke thru the turns. With the radial tires, once the car gets yawed out a certain amount of degree, and the tire begins to lose grip, it looses all grip all in an instant. The bias ply tire was a lot more forgiving, and a lot more fun to watch the cars going thru the turns sideways on asphalt and seeing the smoke just rolling off those good years was just say fun to watch.

I attended this race... sat in the main grandstands. We could only see turn 9 and the pits, so all that battling on the rest of the track was a mystery. Cars would limp back with battle damage and we never knew what happened... But now I do! Sure would have been nice to have had Raceview back in the 80s.

[@fishxy2123]

So happy that I can re-watch the races with my favorite, Richard Petty.

[@zcam1969]

Bobby Allison could drive a race car around the track blindfolded

[@jamesodell9382]

We were camped along the back straight. Man it is good to see these old names from Winston West series.

[@beckyday584]

I had forgotten how fast they used to go on pit road!

[@btravil]

I was there that day and all the of Nascar, IMSA, Indycar, and SCORE Off Road races from 1977 to the VERY Sad day that it closed. I lived 15 minutes from the track and my Dad was a huge Nascar fan and took me from an early age. I miss that place! All other Road Courses will never live up to it for me. RIP Tim Richmond & RIP Riverside International Raceway.

[@sheawhitmire8933]

Dude, I was 5 years old but I vaguely remember these races but as I got older I realized how legit they were. What did SCORE run out there? I’m from the Deep South but a big off road fan. I feel there’s something coming from Junior, Harvick, Marks & Burton…just gotta be patient.

[@marcziegler9365]

Thanks NASCAR for making races available from decades ago. This should be an example for Formula 1 which blocks literally every video you can imagine

[@sheawhitmire8933]

And thank goodness they don’t edit out anything they deem “not socially acceptable”

[@xpicklepie]

I was there. I walked all over that track, from the short chute to the grandstands. I must have walked 5 miles that day. After the race I snuck into the pits through an open gate at the chain link fence around back.

[@fastme1on105]

I was kind of in a race of my own that day myself. I was racing my way out the womb so I could watch this. lol

[@EighthHouseTarot]

where you got to KISS one of the drivers!

[@johnboy4025]

I met Terry Labonte and he said what made Riverside great was that there were a lot of places to pass… Sonoma and The Glen lack that he said

[@TheInkPitOx]

I'm too young to remember Riverside. Looks like it was a really great track. Also: volume is too low

[@tankmech2799]

How do we go about making a Classic Race Request to NASCAR on this KZbin Channel? I would love to see them put up the 2004 Subway 400 from the North Carolina Speedway (Rockingham). The last race held at this track for the premier NASCAR series.

[@JayDee185]

Today just so happens to mark the 8 year anniversary I became a NASCAR fan.

[@racingmaniac2549]

Thanks NASCAR for the upload.

[@a.boss.__09]

So many trails in hills those years

[@hugofalcon9260]

Turn 6 and turn 8 is now the Moreno Valley Mall. Go figure!

[@shawnbrent1165]

Richmond was a great racer.

[@secundrabeasley855]

Dear NASCAR, if find any older truck series races, could you post them as well? Thanks!

[@javybaby77]

Great race!

[@toyman81]

How can it be louder?

My birthday race

I lived near RIR .I used to watch the greats there as a kid.

People seem to be utterly incapable of understanding your comment, it seems...

[@AlonsoRules]

They tore this place down and replaced it with a shopping mall that has been a failure since the day it was opened. Such a waste.

[@spaceexplore7402]

They did the same thing with Louisville Motor Speedway where we use to have Monster Truck racing on a Figure 8 stile track. And it was great.

[@bobbyblenio4571]

Love this track ! It’s a little Dangerous but It’s a Great Track….So exciting….I Can’t Stand Watching cars go around in a Circle🤦‍♂️…..the Film is Very Well Preserved too👍

[@joshjarnagin3161]

The chances of Riverside coming back match the chances of Wilkesboro coming back. Someone had to say it

[@walkthroughsepic]

I'd say it's worse, lol. At least the track is still there with Wilkesboro.

[@allstarchris1]

Ummm Riverside will never come back. It's a shopping mall now.

[@Bakaroons]

Oh we racing on that shopping mall's parking lot

[@joshjarnagin3161]

allstarchris1 That’s my point

[@TkCole81]

North Wilkesboro did come back tho

[@teroalatalo5510]

This was way before nascar was ruined by chase format and other stupid nonsensical rules.

[@Foxfire_forty-nine]

Why do you follow NASCAR only to comment the same thing on only the old race uploads? It is not funny or amusing. Grow up. Very irritating to the community here.

[@kingcomet126]

@@randomreviewsrebooted5156 Nah, stage racing is a complete gimmick. It ruins the flow of the races and severely reduces differences in strategy that can occur. Imagine how good the 2018 Roval race would have been if there was strategy as well as the great racing.

[@budracin8guy07]

Lol Crisco racing! 🤣😂

[@charlespiro6917]

I am finished with you NASCAR and i have been a loyal fan since the wide world of sports era and I am done with the pandering and the constant rule changes and that you lend legitimacy to the rioting thats been taking place in the country that has been so good to you good luck but i am finished here i couldn't even watch the race yesterday thanks i cant believe that racing can't stay out of politics you make me sick.

[@poody56]

I'm shocked you can type semi coherently.

[@charlespiro6917]

@@poody56 are you shocked cuz im not in the least surprised that you would spout off anonymously like the little girl you seem to be.

[@hikingor4987]

Nascar is trash now.

[@zcam1969]

Tim Richmond was a better driver than Earnhardt, NASCAR kicked him out because they didn't approve of his life style

[@Bandito8487]

Better remove this video because a black driver wasn’t in the race.

[@scoot5150]

Wow dude you got the whole squad laughing…
