These full races are like a really good snack. Never gonna stop wanting more.

[@billbarrie6229]

Finger lickin good

[@erikscherer22]

These old races make the offseason much more enjoyable. :D

[@kendallrobinson7523]

Theres an off season? This is the best thing nascar has done in the past 20 years uploading these races. I dont even watch nascar racing today. Its gone down hill.

[@G.R.Kash11]

It's so nice to start a race and watch it run all the way till the end. No stages, no gimmicks, just good hard racing. The race itself is the story, and it's a great story full of wonderful characters. I sure do miss NASCAR!

[@brianbooher7318]

What about the great credit one one to go white flag bullshit

[@billbarrie6229]

Amen

[@rolandjovi2433]

Keep 'em coming NASCAR!

[@Nxtl68]

It's so weird watching this race knowing that they've swapped the ends of the race track.

[@stephencardamone1320]

you can tell by the red building going into one (now turn three)

[@skyronix3760]

RIP Junior Johnson

[@evanwilliams6406]

Bill's last win until going through that long 226-race dry spell and that six year span as a car owner that had no wins to show for it. Bill Elliott wouldn't win another race until 2001.

[@gordbaker896]

So good to see that #3 in action again. Notice the Crowd. Notice NO 'stages'? RIP Dale, Junior, David, Allan, Bobby, and all the other great drivers we miss.

[@joelshack85]

Gord Baker RIP NASCAR

Ironic that Junior Johnsons car is racing against Juniors old number

[@brettcarlson9636]

I hope Nascar keeps adding more and more old races. They look great.

[@77PacerStudios]

Today (Wednesday, September 4, 2024) marks exactly 30 years since this race was held! Happy 30th Anniversary to this race!! I'm watching this right now while drinking actual Mountain Dew soda!! Also, the day this race was held at Darlington on my late father's 36th Birthday. I'm sorry to say that he passed away at age 61 in April 2020 free pancreatic cancer, which he battled for 6 years. He would’ve been 66 today. Happy Heavenly Birthday Dad!

[@andrewrcmadwilkinson6999]

WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THIS NASCAR!

[@frankjandris6972]

Now these are races I can sit n watch.

[@edrew370]

Absolutely pumped know what I’m watching this weekend keep them coming love the old races

[@hrtvfan2870]

And in addition to this being the final victory for Junior Johnson's team and Bill Elliott's last win until 2001, based on the comments on Racing Reference's page for this race, this would be the last time a Budweiser-sponsored car went to Victory Lane until 2000

[@sw00pable]

[@coltoncroskey9769]

These races are what's getting me through the offseason, Thank You Nascar! The older the races, the better. We want more!

[@Boomer-cf2br]

Back when Racin was Racin, Elliot most popular, often wondered how that always happened and now it's his son who got the last vote for 2019, how does that work...lol

[@marycornett3165]

Thanks for showing this great race RIP JUNIOR

[@racingmaniac2549]

Thanks NASCAR for another fantastic full race replay.

Gordon turning Brett after Brett had put him in the wall, INTENTIONAL OR NOT, made me so damn happy 😄

It was intentional.

Last Bill win until 2001 at Homestead

Good ol’ Bill Elliott. The father of Chase Elliott

[@michaeldegeorge8654]

I started watching in 2002. In at the first caution; My gosh!! The cars sound soooo good! It seriously looks like there's NO dirty air? How is that possible

[@Artessnow]

Michael DeGeorge cars had less downforce were higher off the ground and tires weren’t as good today.

[@TheyreDeadDave]

Please post more of these classic races. They’re great!

[@briansandlin6406]

Mark had ‘‘em covered dang it

[@bigrooster6893]

Bill Elliott was offered the 28 car but he wanted to be a driver owner and that never worked in NASCAR.

[@tuowl0564]

Alan Kulwicki beat Elliott for the 92 championship as an owner/driver. Darrell Waltrip and Rudd also had some solid success as an owner/driver. However, it was not sustainable by the late 90s for anyone....

[@thelegendchrisb]

Not only was this Junior Johnson's last win as a car owner, it was Bill Elliott's last win until Homestead-Miami in Nov. 2001. As of June 2023, the 226 race winless streak is the longest in NASCAR history

[@liebe716]

For someone who race on this track in heat 3 this track sucks to race on

[@badbooking3221]

The one race a year or so Jerry Punch was in the booth, and you can tell Bob was missed.

[@anthonydeloreto3881]

The track since has gone through two more repaves. Would get a new fresh coat of asphalt for 1995 & again in 2008.

[@jimmyhawkins5357]

I was there that day. Grand opening of Joe Weatherly museum.

[@racemom2737]

This was Junior Johnson and Bill Elliott's Richard Petty 1983 Charlotte 500 moment (Miller 500 I believe). Bill Elliott all of a sudden started turning it on at the end out of no where. Junior Johnson knew his days were over and Elliott knew his days were over with Junior. Why not "cheat" your way to a win at the Southern 500. More than likely all of Junior Johnson's wins in 1994, the other two being with Jimmy Spencer at Daytona and Talladega, were the result of cheating. Yet, Nascar turned its head the other way where it was Junior Johnson.

[@screw_bird]

Jack Islanders 80 81 82 83 oh by that then idk probably some poor management from junior

[@theWoodrow321]

Nascar fined him in february at daytona in 95 for illegal manifold to the sum of $45,000, and he basically said the hell with nascar, that they we're starting to constrict things you could invent or innovate on a race car. So he didn't wanna go down that road, and sold his team to his driver Brett Bodine after the 95 season.

[@JackCallSports]
