Them old Ford Thunderbirds were the best looking Nascars

Sure do miss Dale. As a car owner DEI would still be strong and probably would have won several championships.

[@brianbooher7318]

I'm not a Dale fan but I'm not here to bash him or anything .I just don't feel dei would turned out any differently.i don't care who owned it or drove for it it all comes down to onething .MOney.money buys wins an money buys championships an that's a fact dei could have never competed against the big teams

[@tnwhiskey68]

They really left the fans to guess with that Rusty Wallace/DR Jerry Punch interview (wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you)! The Hall of fame speech about Doc saving his life was a FANTASTIC story they could've told more about in that first interview!

[@brianbooher7318]

Rusty was so lucky who chokes own their own tounge an the first person to the car was a er doctor.he was so lucky. Rainie Iran was same they just happened yo be a doctor right where he crashed an he put trachea in irvan or he would been dead on arrival

[@jasoncolegrove5032]

That was a brutal looking crash

[@Slinger43]

@@brianbooher7318 Actually Rusty was choking on the ham sandwich he had just eaten before getting in the car. I saw an interview with Rusty, who said The King saw him eating that sandwich & told him not to do that again, just a few lap's later Rusty said, he became a firm believer in Petty's advice! 😉 RW was a VERY lucky man that Saturday, God bless Dr Punch! 🙏

[@mikestansberry2720]

Thanks for posting this. This was the first race I ever attended and what a race! I was an Earnhardt fan before I got there and still am. I was also lucky enough also to see his 7th Championship in ‘94 when he won at Rockingham. MAN THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!!!

[@JesusTapdancingChristOnaCross]

500 laps here sure did beat the hell out of a driver more in 1988 than current day Bristol.

[@brianbooher7318]

they shoulda left the track alone an left the banking at 36 degrees I don't no why bos hogg thought it would be a good idea to take the banking down to 24 degrees but he fucked bristol up

[@Fetterkuss1983]

That 88 black and silver #3 was the most badass scheme of all time. That was a mean looking car.

[@michaelhazen3153]

How Darrell Waltrip won 7 races here in a row I'll never know. Doesn't matter if he had the best race car. Getting through 7 races without having some trouble that would make him lose the race at this racetrack is one of the greatest feats in all motor racing

[@Slinger43]

Absolutely!! Ol' DW was really a top 5 All-Time Cup driver, it's unfortunate that his mouth is remembered more that his greatness as a Wheelman, but he's not alone in that, does anyone really believe Kyle Busch will be remembered most for his wheelman talent, or his bad behavior antic's & that, not unlike DW, is a shame 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@burnettrhett1]

7000 perfect turns

[@mhlaw229]

Yeah boy, no gloves for Earnhardt and Gant

[@Horsewithnoname88]

Dale Sr. = G.O.A.T

[@Slinger43]

G.O.A.T = 200-7-7 😉

[@nohbody85]

The Greatest Of All Time, Dale Earnhardt.

[@Fetterkuss1983]

And with NASCARs new point system there will never be another 7 time champion.

[@xzavierdean7822]

dont know if you guys cares but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the new movies on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend these days xD

[@santiagochad3309]

@Xzavier Dean definitely, I have been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself :)

[@toddbob55]

greatest of all time? Dale Sr was a dirty racer half the time he would knock people out of the race to win.......

[@nohbody85]

@@toddbob55 ooohh another butt-hurt little boy unfamiliar with history and facts. LOL! Dale Earnhardt is was and will always be the Greatest of All Time. I love it how you little boys pissing your underoos keep getting worked up when this fact is posted. Keep it up. LOL!

[@oscarjimenezsr.716]

Dale Earnhardt Sr. Was The Fucking Man Miss Him To This Day

[@tnwhiskey68]

These cars are far from stock but it is still nice to see these cars bang around and not immediately lose a tire! That has helped the demise of Nascar greatly because everyone like physical, hard racing!

[@burnettrhett1]

Earnhardt had 9 wins at Bristol so did Cale Yarborough who has the record of the only driver to lead every lap of a race 1973 Southeastern 500 Cale led flag to flag now that's just incredible at Bristol of all places. When you watch the race Cale made it look easy.

[@MarkMeadows90]

Bristol looked so much simpler back then.

[@CC.94]

Bill just couldn't bring himself to do it even though he probably knew Dale would do it to him. Just ask Terry or Darrell.

[@brianbooher7318]

Bill was worried about somthing alot bigger than dale in the fall of 88

[@MasterCloudKicker]

What a Train Wreck of a Track Bristol was before the re-paving of it.

[@TestTubeBabySpy]

Oh yeah.. didn't Bristol go concrete in like 94/95? i haven't watched nascar since 2001 and I can't remember

[@brianbooher7318]

[@rebelracing88]

Great racing! Bill should’ve used the bumper at the end for the win.

55:32. BS Call by Penalizing Martin for a good restart

[@coryvaughn3546]

Poor Sterling really got fucked, dude lost 2 laps just for thinking he got his lap back

[@marcust510]

Holy crap Bristol looked so different back then 😳

[@11SEXMACHINE]

Shows how much a gentleman racer Elliott was. Had Earnhardt been in his position, we would be watching another video of Earnhardt wrecking someone for another win and everyone making excuses for him.

[@Jesusislord3334]

Earnhardt could win any way he chose to Win to be honest. He could outrun you because he was better than you or outrun you because he just wanted to and roughed you up. Bill Ellliot was NO Earnhardt. Sorry

[@Fetterkuss1983]

He rattled Dales cage a few times. Difference is Dale could take it ;)

[@danieljackett4193]

Go back and watch Dale Jarrett's crash, which was caused by Elliott being the idiot of the race

[@joeyjohnson4826]

Such a crock, considering Elliott put dale Jarrett out of the race, also why elliot has one championship.... fast as hell, don't dare race him.... Elliott is a nice guy, he wasnt as clean as his fans claim, and dale wasn't as dirty.... and I know why Bill Elliott fans hate him. At the winstons Bill Elliott ran up his ass and when he didn't go hi to Elliot could pass Elliott bumpes him again, and dale still blocked him saved the car and won... Earnhardt was nowhere as dirty as Elliott fans try to claim and Bill Elliotwas nowhere good a racecar driver is they try to claim or as nice😁... awesome bill was not clean he was great as long as he had the fastest hot rod on the track and didn't have to race anybody the minute he did he cried foul that was Bill Elliott's whole career🤣... OVERATTED....😁

[@wp5177]

@@joeyjohnson4826 your 💯% right and Chase is just like him race dirty then cry when anything happens to them

[@danieljackett4193]

1:20:11 Bill Elliott wins the Idiot of the Race Award by trying to squeeze between Butch Miller and Dale Jarrett, ending Jarret's and Mark Martin's night Jarrett said " I guess Bill Elliott decided I should drive my car in the grandstand"

[@knobdikker]

Maybe slower cars that are Knobdikking around should move out of the way, you know like clowns 🤡 like you that hog the left hand lane and won't move over for faster traffic. It's called the chrome horn, son!

Fuck Jarret he always was a cry baby botch who was out for himself

somebody else might have already said this, but Rusty almost died in that wreck...this is the one where Jerry Punch literally saved his life. He describes it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJO1oGear5epf5Y
