Not only are these races very enjoyable to watch..so are the old commercials. Bill Elliot and that #9 Coors Banquet Thunder Chicken was damn near unstoppable.

I know right, i live 30 mins from Rockingham and went to so many races there i miss it so much, but the 80s was my favorite era for the actual style of the cars avd the racing itself, and drivers that were men that had to actually drive these 900hp beasts unlike now you got little whiny spoiled brats that were handed everthing and driving pathetic 650hp cars that basically drive themselves.

Too bad the package this year there full throttle these guys were slower but still had to drive the cars
@badmonkey22224 жыл бұрын
@@tamezzodiac2862not true these cars are actually running about the same speeds as the cars are now at Michigan, they had 890hp and much more head room to play with the throttle unlike now only 650 and at Michigant they are barely crackling 185 at the end of the straight and staying wide open, now it's all about momentum, and your right they had to drive these cars had bias ply tires could just sling those cars through the corners, and through the 90s the cars were as fast as they've ever been got up over 900hp in the early 90s.

Brian Booher well he didn’t remove himself from the car. That was Rick Hendrick and Jimmy Johnson acting on suggestions from NASCAR that TR wasn’t fit to drive - a discussion which began even before Michigan.

If Tim, Davie, and Alan would have lived Earnhardt would have only had four or five championships at most I think Richmond would have won two or three Davey maybe two and Jeff Gordon definitely wouldn't have won four. RIP to all the greats, bias ply tires, 900hp and NASCAR as we know it.

@@stevebirchall35 You mean Davey Allison. Richmond's, Allison's and Kulwicki's death really changed NASCAR's history from the late 80's through the late 90's, mid 2000's. I'd throw in Ernie Irvan's accident too. He was never quite the same after that.
