One Hot Night: 1992 NASCAR All-Star Race

NASCAR Productions flash back to the revolutionary race in "One Hot Night: 1992 NASCAR All-Star Race," a one-hour documentary incorporating a compilation of newly discovered images and behind-the-scenes recollections from the drivers, key players and witnesses to the night NASCAR went primetime.

[@Carl-vg4db]

The drivers, the cars. The early 90s were a fantastic era

[@tfajsh]

I can just close my eyes and see, smell, and feel the 90s. The racing was top notch, the drivers were larger than life, and the country was just different. I don’t know how to describe it, I don’t really understand it myself, but it was just so different. Maybe everyone feels that way about the time in their life when they were coming to adult age. But for me the 90s just rocked out. Walking into the house on a casual Sunday and seeing my old man watching a random race on TNN or CBS is something I wish I could do just one more time. God bless America!

[@someguyinflorida]

You nailed it perfectly! It was a great era.

[@tfajsh]

@@someguyinflorida to me there was fleeting period of time , right between the mid-late 90s and 9/11, the country was just roaring like those stock car engines.

[@earnhardt3613]

THIS WAS THE BEST OF TIMES........NEVER AGAIN WILL FANS GET THIS FEELING AGAIN........THANK GOD I WAS THERE!!!!!!!!

[@lanedoby8653]

Me, too. Turn 4. I still remember that electric feeling that night.

[@jackdavis7666]

Me too coming out of 4 .. I was young but recall the crash at the end .. still remember the sound of the tires popping when he hit the wall .. I used to have this poster I got from there too on my wall growing up.. went to every race there back then haven’t been to one in several years miss it ..

[@commonpeasant8792]

Man I wish Davey were still around. He had so much to offer

[@Steventhe2nd]

He'd make the Alabama gang proud, that's for sure

[@scotthouston2024]

In my opinion best driver ever and now. No1 can really argue that cause he ain't here. I truly believe he would have been 1 of the greatest drivers had he lived. When he died. I pretty much stopped watching it. He was respectful talented prettymuvh fearless and . 1 of the nicest most down to earth humble drivers of the Era. The likes of we probably will never see again. Him and Dale along with Richard and a few others drove the last of the real race cars. This stuff today along with the politics of it all has ruined it

[@TheGammingPie]

@@scotthouston2024 and the crazy thing about that. How good would Jeff Gordon be if Davey was still around??

[@stevt100]

Imagine if Irvan doesn't get hurt and Allison, Richmond and Bonnet would have survived.

[@jmsiii4751]

This is the NASCAR that I used to love! I don't watch it today...

[@someguyinflorida]

Davey was my guy but after he, Alan and Dale got killed my interest waned. Haven't watched a NASCAR race since '95.

[@briancanterberry3085]

Davey Allison, Neil Bonnett, Alan Kulwicki, Dale Earnhardt are legends who have passed on and NEVER will be replaced!!!

my god, when that old TNN Trumpet intro played i got chills.

R.I.P Robert Yates an Davey Allison miss you guys

Those were the best days in NASCAR miss all those guys but all I gotta say is....3

[@pizzlesauce]

ITxManster 3!

[@PghBoy28]

Best video ever. Long live Davey Allison

[@spooler7828]

He was my favorite driver when he was still with us.

[@scotthouston2024]

He was my favorite driver ever and no1 has ever been as good to me in my eyes. I just about stopped watching it all together

[@stevt100]

@Scott Houston I know what you mean, Davey had so much class and I miss him so much. He had a fast car and knew what to do with it.

[@a1b1c184]

I went to this. One of my best childhood memories. I dont even watch Nascar anymore but those were the days.....

[@btgoal3426]

I would give anything to have been alive and witness this along with the 92 Hooters 500. Amazing races, drivers, times, and memories.

[@KK-ex5zu]

I remember watching this race as a kid like it was just ran last night! I was 12years old and a diehard Dale Sr fan. I also remember the hype of it being ran at night for the first time and they didn't fail to put on an awesome show! The history of how they got to putting the lights in now that was educational for any NASCAR fan, awesome video!

[@randyhutchinson9910]

GOD, I miss Robert Yates, was so classy, so much fun

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

As a Light Technician, this is both awe inspiring, and a nightmare.

[@Thextoastxisxbob]

Dam Dale wasnt in it for the money ever he just loved to be in a good race.

[@brettbridges424]

Davey will always be my favorite, he was so positive and always found that silver lining. My childhood hero left me at 9 years of age but at least I had a few years of Davey Allison to cheer for on the radio then the TV. Years later i find the silver lining. What a humble man, we are lucky to have that man in our world in our lifetime.

[@reginaldhall6871]

All these years & there's never been another AllStar race as good as this 1

[@garymoreau2nd157]

you hear drivers cry and whine,but back in the day of real racing it was.....just racing..he was trying to win and so was I...wish Davey,Alan,Tim,and later Dale,couldve raced til they retired..R.I.P.

[@effend446]

Oh NASCAR had their share of snowflakes back in the day - CRusty Wallace and Darrell Waltrip, in particular.

[@randyhutchinson9910]

just to see Dale's smile again, made this, more than great

[@bustincue4u299]

This reminded me of why I loved nascar as a kid

[@chrisauten2039]

I was right there at the start finish line for this race. I knew then I was witnessing racing greatness!!

[@mattjohnston7686]

Davie Allison, #28 Ford Thunderbird. The Rocket.

[@1963Iota]

I just came into the middle of this on FS1. Had to see from the beginning

[@vinewood8295]

I remember watching that race live on TNN, when Dale spun I wanted sooo bad for Davey to get by Kyle there at the end & he did, damn near cost him his life but he won...

[@scotthouston2024]

I rem this racebest night ever

[@robschannel4512]

My Dad and I loved that race. It was just action start to finnish.

[@ChrisPlatt9740]

Three top families of NASCAR and one track president made it all possible. it was the event that I will never forget when it all came togeather when my driver and race team won it all.

[@hammerslammer3006]

I was pretty young then but remember this race!! Even the cars looked nicer then. Remember my parents would take turns with other families watching the races back then.. cant remember the last nascar race I've watched. Good ol days are long gone along with talented drivers..

[@thomasstocks8219]

I like that line that Dale said, “I don’t know about the rules he’s racing I was too.”

[@billfeld5883]

Thankfully we have softwalls today, and at 68yrs old I'm happy that today's drivers have a better chance of survival than these drivers did. I have noticed that the new car is a better build car than older models and is competitive with 14 different winners and 5 first time winners, and I'll be a nascar fan till I die!!!! 2022

[@daveycrocket4873]

I was 22 and remember this race like it was last night.

[@Kurzov]

"So we've got this open test session, in the middle of April. Let's open the gates." Brilliant.

[@danielashworth5281]

I wish I could have seen Davey race :(

[@MegaMr46]

Daniel Ashworth I wish he was still alive and didn't die in a helicopter crash

[@scotthouston2024]

Davey was a beast behind the wheel. He was smooth and fearless. Not much rattled him. He could drive that 28car thru anything it would fit into and squeeze it in wherever it was too tight lol. 1 of the greatest drivers I ever saw drive a car hands down

[@williamhamilton1118]

I don't know about the RULES IT'S RACING!!!

[@coreytyler6066]

I remember watching this live on TV ... Davey was my favorite

[@noname-he9ud]

As fun as it is was to watch NASCAR under the lights, this started the fall of many local tracks that relied on the Saturday night races for their business. NASCAR is a corporate giant with deep pockets compared the local track who depends on the local business to keep them going. Even NASCAR sanctioned tracks only get a small subsidy which is hardly a drop in the bucket. Those tracks end up paying more for royalties because NASCAR is painted on the wall. I saw this first hand with Riverside Park Speedway. It used to be the central hub for all of New England. It faded away when NASCAR started Sat night racing.

[@randyhutchinson9910]

MY GOD!!! Charlotte Motor Speedway, the creativeness, never ends, I'm amazed, I remember this accomplishment, from Anchorage Alaska, I heard about this, and had to come see for myself, amazing, simply amazing

[@brandonmiller9406]

This was the beginning of the best 9 years of NASCAR in my opinion. Lasted until February 2001..

[@plantfeeder6677]

Ya my hero died in '68. I didn't think F-1 died after that. smh

[@georgetowninsulation8569]

U must have missed the racing in the 80s

[@kyleschafer6275]

NASCAR had some great racing in 01, IMO it died when Winston left and next el came in with the chase.

[@jasonvogue4487]

hearing Eli Gold.. Tuscaloosa legend

[@blitz811]

Davey was the best

[@jwrailve3615]

Lived in Texas all but two years of my life and had season tickets to Texas motor speedway for over ten years and when I was younger I got the chance to see the all star race in Charlotte and it was absolutely amazing, apart from Jimmie Johnson dominating, met him multiple times and had personal talks with him and he was always extremely nice

[@georgetowninsulation8569]

My first daughter was born in may of 92..her name was Allison..for one reason only..she was named after my hero.

[@JRsBullet]

Kyle right hooked Allison in the tri oval at a high speed speedway. After he wrecked you can see how low the 42 came down. There was no room for the 28. I thought it then and still haven’t heard anything that makes me doubt it was not intentional.

[@garymack9734]

I was there, night started off rough, camping outside the track and walked all the way up and set the cooler down to check for seat location and then started to boogie to the seats and someone had grabbed the cooler full of beer. Oh, well have another cooler and more beer just a trip back to campsite and then back to track, great race! I was a full bloodied Kyle fan, that's racing!

[@johnriggle5336]

My first trip down there was on a charter with some friends ,drank all the beer on way there an didn't know that you couldn't buy beer cause of dry town . So I asked the bus driver if I bought his dinner if he could pick me up a couple case's of beer . He took that bus to the liquor store after he fueled up ,

[@lowtunedg9211]

I was at this race, I was ten years old, when Kyle wrecked Davie, his car stopped right in front of where I was sitting, we watched them cut him out of the car.

[@randyhutchinson9910]

your bringing tears of joy, to my eye's, absolutely amazing

[@TheFokker03]

thanks for the upload.

[@VicRattlehead1980]

Kyle Petty was being more Earnhardt that Earnhardt was that night.

[@Zoomer30]

"He did get knocked out momentarily.." Yeah, hitting your head on a concrete wall tends to do that. Don't know why Kyle thought it was his fault. He did not come down on Davey. He held his line. It was just Daveys crazy pass, he had to come up or cut the trioval and hit the "green asphalt".

[@jarredwalker9919]

This was so interesting. What a crazy finish.

[@whitehorseengland5757]

I wish dale Earnhardt and Davey Allison were still here racing has not been the same without them

Frankly i loved this documentary ! very excellente excellent !

[@joebryant4859]

Great footage of a long waited race up 2 the shot of Davey being copter lifted 2 care center ... Championships? He woulda won ,many I believe. Texaco team was strong from it's foundation all the way up 2 the driver. Dale, Davey & Allen (Mr Right Hand Turn) + all the other trail blazers of stock car, R. I. P. Dan also from the open wheel tragedy.

[@scotthouston2024]

No doubt Davey would have given a run for the books on championship wins. Maybe he would have had the record num who knows. 1 thing I know for sure. Had he not got into that helicopter and died. Given he had no other serious injuries. He would have went on to be 1 of the greatest ever and had been toward if not top of Winniest drivers of all time.

[@jessebarker3195]

Nascar drivers dont have the passion to win no more,, They have all the money and glam and dont care.. they need some good ol' boys back in the sport NOW!!!!!

[@garymack9734]

It is actually a shame Jesse!

[@Steventhe2nd]

After that amazing race, many other tracks followed suit, Atlanta, Richmond, Daytona, Texas, Fontana, Darlington and many more tracks added lights, that is except for Talladega for some odd reason......

[@2000cobraguy]

I was there! Low seating near turn 2

[@Riddleismycat]

Wow now I know how the All Star race all started now

[@realwildracer28]

Night races are the life blood of the sport

[@frmnNnj]

Now Charlotte has to make Rovals to entertain the fans. Most fans just want something to complain about.

[@Whogrl16]

The roval is more entertaining than running the oval

[@ianhamilton2035]

Was sitting in turn 4, almost missed the finish, was watching Dale, LoL!!! 😃

[@almattei88]

I like the fact that this documentary showed a couple of stills from the F-1 Grand Prix of Singapore, which is a street course run under the lights. It's a fantastic spectacle for that form of motorsport and perhaps an even more outrageous gamble than lighting Charlotte Motor Speedway.

[@bmc8319]

[@joshuapierce3463]

Kyle can say what he wants to. The one on Earnhardt was fair, the one on davey was a right hook out of frustration

[@christopherenger1602]

Anyone know what happend to Davey's car? That needs to be put on display at Charlotte

[@kevinwrynn2659]

Robert Yates owner of the Texaco Thunderbird cut the car up after the race. He said the car had to many memories to sell to a lower league team. The car was called by it's serial number 007. Yates called it the most balance and fastest car he has ever built. It was perfect. He said a perfect car comes along only once in a owner's career and 007 was it. It won every race it entered and it would enthusiastically respond to every change they would make on the car during a race. He said in 1993 he wished he had that car for the famous season ending race in Atlanta which Alan Kulwicki won the championship.. They borrowed a car from Jack Rousch because all their good cars were either destroyed or too slow. He felt 007 would of won the race and the championship for Davey Allison.

[@frmnNnj]

3:40 What a good shot. Youngsters who would battle it out later that night.

What is Alan Kuwiki doing here in the all stars? 27:14 see the number 7 hooters?

[@johnnymabe8888]

Because he is Alan Kulwicki, 2019 Class of HOF! And he did win the 1992 NASCAR Championship

[@VGF80]

The 1992 all stars took place before the final race for the 1992 championship.

[@johnnymabe8888]

AK won a race in both 1990 & 1991. And he won the Bristol spring race in 1992 so I'm guessing that qualified him for the All-Star Race

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

@Womb Raider it's awesome that he won one and quite the inspirational story (that ended in tragedy) but I see your point.

[@johnradzam5143]

Maybe it was just the paint scheme but that 42 car was on a rail
