KZbin is so amazing. As a kid I used to always check out a book from my school library called "Showdown at Daytona", written by Hal Higdon about this 1975 500. The book showed the lap 5 accident in great detail. I was blown away by the carnage. And now I can finally see it on video!

Here's an interesting note about this race. For the only time in it's history (and quite possibly the history of any major NASCAR event), every car in this race ran a two-digit number. There were no single-digit car numbers in this race.

@@nickbyrnes7408 It is. There were a couple of cars with "0x" numbers in this race (05-David Sisco and 08-Johnny Rutherford), but there were no cars with single-digit car numbers in this race. Four such cars tried to qualify (0-Clyde Dagit, 3-Tom Culberson, 5-Neil Castles, and 8-Ed Negre), but they all failed to do so.

Cale was supposed to be carrying Carling Breweries sponsorship but they unexpectedly pulled out at the last hour at the end of 1974.

This is real stock car racing, the way it's supposed to be. I'm sure glad NASCAR has improved it in recent years. (That last part was sarcasm.)

As much as I would like to agree with you, I think you are wrong. The more I watch old nascar, the more I realize the racing is better now. In this race there were only 6 cars within 7 laps of the winner. Nowadays you have that many on the lead lap at the .5 miles tracks. A random pick (Darlington) of track and year (2017) showed 18 cars within a lap.

Pearson didn't "just lose it." Cale squeezed him and then hooked him.

That is correct...wish someone would show a closeup replay like they did back then....it was clear....Cale cliped him......i like Cale...but he was laps down anyway and should moved over...with only 3 laps to go...

Given all the episodes of Car & Track that SpeedVision (later the SPEED Channel) aired, including episodes on the 1973 and 1974 Daytona 500 (and episodes in which the 1973 125-Mile qualifying Races aired), it's a bit surprising that they never aired this episode on the 1975 Daytona 500.

Benny Parsons. One of the nicest men that ever lived and a great driver and Winston Cup Champion. Great Video. I didn't know there were Daytona videos older than '76

I have never seen a Daytona 500 in my lifetime in which so many top contenders went out due to engine & mechanical failure.....that is, until I saw this video. Great win for BP, but so many top contenders bowed out in the last 10 laps, it's unreal. It's almost like BP had a lottery ticket that day, considering he came from 33rd to win....

Which was fitting, given the way that race started. Because of that huge crash on lap 4, no fewer than 11 cars were out by lap 15. In fact, with so many cars out of the race so early, Walter Ballard's team even changed engines during the race, which is believed to be the only time that ever happened during a Daytona 500 (in-race engine changes were outlawed by 1980). But it was somewhat of a crazy finish, not just because of how David Pearson lost the race, but consider that the second and third place cars were both running on seven cylinders, Pearson spun out late, and Parsons won with an engine that Waddell Wilson wasn't sure would last more than a handful of laps.

Petty's overheating was because of a cracked cylinder head. Maurice didn't discover it until they had the same thing happen at Rockingham despite it being below freezing in that one.

Lap 5...10 cars involved. In my terms...& everyone else's, it's referred to as...'The Big One'. The term sticks!!!

I believe this was Chevy's first Daytona 500 win since 1962.
@cjs831722 жыл бұрын
Actually, it was the first Daytona 500 win for Chevrolet since Junior Johnson's win in 1960, which had been the only previous Daytona 500 win for Chevrolet. The 1961 and '62 races were won by another General Motors brand, Pontiac, both of which were masterminded by Smokey Yunick.
