This was the first NASCAR race that was broadcast "live" on national television (ABC). Cale Yarborough was right. The thrilling finish (and the fight) boosted the popularity of NASCAR racing like nothing else could. That popularity has only grown since then.

Donnie did cut Cale off but you have to remember, this was the Daytona 500. A couple times Donnie had the race basically won, in earlier years, and lost due to bad luck (late flat tire in 1974 is one example), so Donnie wanted to win this race so bad he could taste it and of course, so did Cale. It was Donnie's fault but it was basically two fierce competitors determined to race as hard as they could.

Actually no. The next race that both Cale and Donnie ran was a couple weeks later at Rockingham. In the first 10 laps of the race, Cale took Donnie out as a payback and it was a multi car crash which involved another Hoss Ellington car driven by Neil Bonnett. Only people that really followed racing at the time remember that.

I'm not a big fan of either drivers, so after watching it several times, I have to take Cale's side. He definitely would have made the pass, but as Donnie eased him down the track, he took Cale's momentum away and ended up side by side. As he kept easing down the track, at first it didn't look like he pushed him off the track, but then I noticed his left rear wheel did catch the mud and it was on from there. I think Donnie refuses to look at it objectively.

I sent a video response to the owner....the two cars are in the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC, and I took a quick video of them up close so you can see Donnie and Cale's cars in the shape they were in right at the end of the race. Awesome that they kept the cars instead of scrapping them....something you don't see today.

I heard all 3 got death threats after this. Someone threatened to throw a beer bottle through Donnie's windshield when they came to Atlanta. 1 year later, Donnie's affiliation with Hoss Ellington ended after the Atlanta race. The TropArtic team would stay out late partying and was not 100% focused come race time. Except for the 1980 Rebel 500 with David Pearson, I don't think Hoss Ellington's drivers won another race.

THE defining moment in NASCAR history, shown live on TV, the first Daytona 500 ever broadcast live. I was watching! Cale Yarborough sums it up beautifully- "I think it made a lot of fans for the sport. I think it's one of the biggest things to happen to the sport. It got people's attention." Those were the days!

@nixipinion Yes It is a race that is hard on cars and drivers, probably nothing quite like it anywhere in the world, I think it started out in around 1960 as a production car race, that is any car that was on sale at the time with the stipulation that at least 200 cars had been sold, that to me was great to see,I can't remember what the race was called then but if you like I will find out so that you can find it on y tube.

@Dgb12651 It was not the first Daytona "500" to be televised. But it was the first one, as far as I know, to be televised live from start-to-finish. Reportedly, there was a cold wave in much of the country that an urban legend claims contributed to the high viewership. In reality, the big TV numbers were caused by the growth in fan interest auto racing received during the 1970's. Also: Isn't the 2011 edition of the Daytona "500" going to be run under the lights in prime time?

NASCAR has always been more of a spectator's sport than Formula or WRC, simply because it's both more exciting and easier to spectate. Formula and Touring car racing (or any form of racing with both LH and RH turns) is a fine art; more of an enthusiast's sport. It's about the feeling and finesse of car control on the limit. You hardly have time to think about where other cars are, let alone follow them. And it's not about the battles, it's about getting around the track as fast as possible

Oh shut up. Skill? Formula 1 requires skill at every level. Advanced engineering, mechanics, physical trainers, computer fluid dynamics. The drivers have to negotiate twisty chicanes in tenths of a second while fighting against 5 G's of decceleration. And we can look past skin color (look at our world champion this year). The only skill nascar requires is who can eat more burgers and who can drink beer quicker than the others.

This was the first time since 1959 (and only the second time ever) the Daytona "500" aired live and in full on network TV (CBS). Thanks to heavy promotion of the telecast----and the last laps' duel which boosted the numbers as people called their neighbors to say "Turn On CBS! There's an amazing finish coming up in Daytona!"---the ratings were the largest ever for a NASCAR race (and maybe any kind of auto race) up to that time. Auto racing became a big-time TV sport thanks to this finish.

I race stock cars on dirt, which is obviously a lot slower than this but the corners are tighter. I was so surprised at the amount of g-forces I felt going into the corner. Now I got used to it and really don't feel it at all. People who race at all levels really put their life into it. It costs so much money to race even at the local dirt track.
