Dale Earnhardt, Neil Bonnet Tim Richmond, and more. It's been so long ago. I remember watching races with my Grandpa back then. Good times and good memories.

Why was this ever tampered with? This is perfect. The asphalt, the cars, all of it.

Couldn’t agree more. Still true racing in 1985

@alexbroadbent5313 8 ай бұрын

I think the reason was because the asphalt was breaking up which was a safety hazard for the drivers especially at those speeds.

@albertjewell4302 10 ай бұрын

Thank you for posting this. I love watching the old races with the drivers I grew up watching. But, from these comments, I guess I'm in the minority about Bristol going from asphalt to concrete. It BECAME the true "Thunder Valley" in the late 90s with the concrete...and the racing was never better. The best rest ever was the 1999 night race in August, most true NASCAR fans know the race I speak of. And thank God they stopped with the damn dirt covered track!

400 laps with no power steering at Bristol in a big ole heavy 1985 Nascar Monte Carlo.. Vintage Dale Earnhardt.

@sban8377 10 ай бұрын

Watching these races just depresses me with what NASCAR's become today. You have Steve Phelps trying to turn every track into Talladega while cars can't get close without plowing.

@rdaws73 10 ай бұрын

I agree. NASCAR peaked in 2007. Its sad looking back at how BIG NASCAR was.

@JerryTanner_jereth 10 ай бұрын

Square bodies, open engines, asphalt surfaces.. the perfect recipe for good racing.

@nathancausby4406 10 ай бұрын

@@rdaws73I'd say it peaked before then. Probably around the end of 2002. True fans stuck it out for a little while after Earnhardt died but without him there for people to cheer and boo for it just wasn't the same and the gravity of that loss really started showing in 2003. It's been on the decline ever since

Seeing Bob and Benny is just sad. They made NASCAR sound so fun.😢😢😢 Also, seeing how Bristol was laid out, compared to how it's a literal collusseum, its not the same. R.I.P Tim Richmond. The biggest "what if" in NASCAR history.

@brianhunt1742 9 ай бұрын

I don't disagree but I would like to point out Rob Moroso as well as a huge what if. He would taken a few rings from Earnhardt and Gordon.

I was 6 years old and at this race. We started going in the fall of 83 and then did both races from 84 to 88. If you notice on the front stretch nobody is sitting or even walking from about the tenth row down while under green. That's cause you would get peppered with chunks of rubber and some of them could hurt ya! Lol good memories! One of the biggest brawls I've ever saw was at the end of the fall night race during that time we were going. I can't remember which year but it started with people throwing chicken bones and hitting people below them and everyone had a ton alcohol in them! 😆 Nascar is nothing like it was back then! Can we at least get the commercial break music back on tv? I love hearing that old bluegrass!

**POINTS STANDINGS and WINS before the 1985 SOUTHEASTERN 500 (5 of 28):** #5 Geoff Bodine (618pts, GM) #12 Neil Bonnett (-30 with 1 win, GM) #44 Terry Labonte (-45, GM) #11 Darrell Waltrip (-49, GM) #9 Bill Elliott (-75 with 2 wins, Ford) #3 Dale Earnhardt (-94 with 1 win, GM) #33 Harry Gant (-97, GM) #75 Lake Speed (-106, GM) Ricky Rudd (Ford #15) was in the top16 all season but was only 11th. With similar results, Rusty Wallace (GM #2), the best rookie in 1984, was only 12th. Meanwhile, Bobby Allison (GM #22) finally had his 1st top15 of the season and was 13th almost 200pts behind the leader. Drivers listed are the season's current top8, last season's top8 plus the rookie of the year before and whatever race winner that doesn't fit any of those 2 descriptions. Yes, I’m using the unsponsored names of the races. In Bristol’s case, the earlier race is the Southeastern 500 while the later one is the Volunteer 500.

It was Richard's 400th CONSECUTIVE race, dating back to 1971, and something like 960th overall. In 1986, he made his 1.000th start overall. Still, 200 wins in less than 1,000 races is better than a 20% average.
