'Pass in the grass' | NASCAR Classic Full Race Replay: The Winston from 1987

[@Ghostmotorfinger]

That final 10 lapper was nothing more than a Saturday night shootout on a bull ring to Earnhardt. Nothing but pure guts and determination.

[@bryan_vlogs8823]

No one ever is going to replace Dale Earnhardt Sr. Rest in peace Dale

[@racingmaniac2549]

Thanks NASCAR for the upload.

1:10:54 thats one of the greates saves ive ever seen

[@PhantomLoco13]

Hell yeah, more races from the 70s & 80s please...

What Earnhardt did that day was one of the best drives in NASCAR and racing period.

Crazy that 5 of the top 10 drivers are no longer with us! Some of the best drivers ever and they are gone. Great to be able to go back and watch races like this. I can do this all day long!

It should really be called “The unpaved save”

After watching a video about Earnhardt and Nascar, and a video about Richmond, it's cool to see a race with many familiar names.

[@NickB1121]

Man very good clear images in this race from 1987. And yet if you go watch a 2000 race its blurrier than this.

God bless Dale Earnhardt senior those were the days I remember when

Pass in the grass: Not really. Not saying Dale didn't drive great, because, of course he did, he's Dale, but it was just a block in the grass. Mike Skinner 2001 at Texas made an ACTUAL pass.

[@rcracer8872]

Dale was 5× the driver Jimmie ever was

[@jefffischer3854]

BS they were both great drivers. One would race you clean. The other would do whatever he had to do to win. But both were champions.

[@yojoeski]

@@jefffischer3854 The one that would "race you clean" years later admitted he was trying to crash Dale Sr. because he was ticked off that Dale wouldn't just move over and let him pass since his car was clearly faster.

[@thunder14062]

There is also a reason why Bill is still alive and Dale isn't.

[@Redneck_Ed]

​@@yojoeski you have a link to that interview where Bill admits that?

1:19:42 "...a difference in philosophy" is an understatement.

[@kepler240]

4:55 The pass in the grass was nice and all, but look at that save by Bodine......after driving high on the track and almost taking out Earnhardt. And a nice 360 at 1:06:43.

[@MaidensWorldOfWax]

Very few people could get around better than Big E, he was on a whole other level that year. Great to look back at those times.

[@sammylacks4937]

Darrell was blowing that chrome horn at Bodine I had forgotten "musta been a tap" Tap hell, Bill got loose or something Dale never got touched and never let off Came and watched again trying to find out why Bill was so mad at Dale. Dale was ahead., what he let off and backed into Bill. Then Dale was a little thirsty so went thru the infield to get a sundrop from the concession stand . Seriously when have you heard a crowd getting off like this one.

[@Bulldawg1982]

They should've just named it Dale's "Pass Through the Grass" b/c it apparently confuses everybody. We know, Dale didn't actually pass anybody by going in the grass but clearly his car does pass in the grass.

Bill,. "I clearly had the quickest car" well apparently he couldn't pass Dale. I saw the most refuse to lose driver win not the best car. Iron Head knew he could rub on Bill in 3 and try to cut his tire. Ol trick . I'm a Ford fan and never liked Dale but he was a wheel man.

[@kabalg7471]

But it was still ruined when the same driver would dominate every race. Kevin Harvick today, Dale Earnhardt yesterday. Nothing new. Win after win by the same driver.

[@glentodd6064]

thanks

[@BSfromCS]

I totally get where Bill was coming from, but Dale didn't spin Geoff in turn 1. Dale definitely sent him in with a good bump draft, but Geoff tried to take the (sizeable) nose off of Elliott's T-Bird. Now in the tri-oval and turn 1/2, Dale definitely chopped him. However, Dale was defending the lead and was willing to risk getting spun to hold his position. Bill was also trying to tear the bumper off Dale's car through the center of every turn, but you can't help it when your car has THAT much more forward bite.

[@joeyjohnson4826]

Despite bill whinning, you watched dale Earnhardt, in a slower car, drive his ass off... Bill was knocking the shit out of him... lesser driver would have slid up and given up the line, or spun out... Dale did neither, and drove tha bitch to victory lane ... end of it... Bill 😭😭😭😭... end of it... GOAT... 😁

[@cnking27]

@@easyenetwork2023 He did, and Dale ran him into the marbles.

[@cnking27]

Dale did spin him. That's the most unstable part of the whole track, if you watch any of the in-car you see that the car is extremely loose right there and Dale rammed the right corner of Geoff's bumper, it's what sent him into Bill. It was genius, honestly. Dale never missed a chance to get in both of their heads because at that point they were his toughest competition.

Bill should've just right reared him into the wall, like Dale did Darrell at Richmond in '86. At least he did call Dale out for wrecking Bodine to start the segment. Dale knew Bill was his strongest competition at that point and he messed with him constantly from the '86 Clash on.

Bill Elliott was faster than everybody all year long. But he was always a whiner. Yeah he got out drove,he had the fastest car ,which was not uncommon for him in that window of time.

I wouldn’t say E was overrated, the man made shit happen. Usually that was by driving like an asshole. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but anyone who says otherwise was clearly not looking very close. He got into anyone who came near him, he just didn’t make it obvious enough to get flagged. No one can question his skill behind a wheel, though, whether you liked his style or not.
