1991 Coca-Cola 600

NASCAR Winston Cup Series
Charlotte Motor Speedway
May 26th, 1991

[@Holden308]

Pole for the 600 and the halfway money (10 grand) were about the only things during the World 600 week that Davey Allison didn't win. As they said, the weekend before he won $325,000 when he won pole for The Winston, led at the halfway of that race and went on to win. Then of course he won this race. Allison and that Robert Yates Ford Thunderbird were almost untouchable at Charlotte that month.

I really really love watching these old Nascar races a whole whole lot and I still watch greatest races in Nascar I want to see a Nascar race I watch Nascar on the weekend I am still big Nascar fan for a long long time

[@paulfreeman1410]

At 38 minutes 15 seconds baby Allison passes Earnhardt off of 4 and leads the lap and walks away from him we would have been seeing that so much more if Davey would have lived rip Davey

[@paulfreeman1410]

That is supposed to be at 38 minutes 15 seconds Davey Allison

[@patrickisswayze3446]

Ya know they had mentioned the condos, and I thought of Bobby sitting up there cause he knew his time was over and he wanted to watch his boy from the best seat in the house. FFS man what a heartbreaking thought of him sitting there. Why the hell did he have to get into that stupid helicopter.

[@KR1736]

I know it’s obvious but watching these old races back makes me realize Neil was an amazing broadcaster

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

Still it makes ya sad because he could have retired after he came back in 1993 and crashed out of the Talladega race…he just couldn’t stay out of the car for good and it cost him his life and us a brilliant long broadcasting career

[@KR1736]

Hut never quite made it.Sure ran good in this race though.Nobody was going to catch Davey at Charlotte in this race.Strong couple of weeks for the 28.

[@toddbob55]

Before restrictor plates nobody could catch the Fords Davey Allison was half track ahead

47:30 That whole deal was rather interesting.

[@thelegendchrisb]

During the previous weeks All-Star race, the #11 Junior Johnson owned car was thrown out of the track b/c the engine was larger than the legal limit. Johnson, crew chief Tim Brewer & sub driver Tommy Ellis were suspended for 12 weeks. Ellis was subbing for Geoff Bodine who suffered an injury during practice for the All-Star race. All 3 parties appealed. Johnson's & Brewer's suspensions were reduced to 4 races & Ellis's was nullified. Johnson designated his wife as the owner & changed the car # to 97

They were singing the national anthem during driver interviews.

[@WorldwideWyatt]

Them same fans would probably attack Kaep today 🤣🤣🤣

[@badbooking3221]

The anthem was almost never covered until the FOX/NBC takeover of 2001. Only big races (Daytona 500, Brickyard 400) saw the anthem get sung live on television.

[@geodude1986]

Gen 6 is even worse than the COT, even though I thought those were POS's. I believe at this point in history they were running Gen 4? Or Gen 3? Cars. These were about the best-looking cars.

Yeah nascar today sucks I only watch races from 1979 to 2001' i stopped watching when dale sr. Died.😔😔😔😔

[@prevost8686]

It actually was decent until about 2005. Dale Sr. complained about NASCAR as far back as 1993 so picking the year of his death is disingenuous.

[@superbird4351]

The decline started from 2006-08. Factors such as Cup drivers dominating the Xfinity Series to ESPN coming back with crappy commentary to the CoT being introduced. I have hope since Brian France’s arrest last year.

@@superbird4351 cup drivers dominated the xfinity series ever since the 80s.

[@superbird4351]

James Gentry Yeah but they weren’t doing double duty every single week. Every Busch/Nationwide champion from 2006-2010 was a Cup regular. In 2013, not a single full time Nationwide drive actually won a race in the series and Ryan Blaney was the only non-Cup driver to win. My point is they absolutely flooded the series for about a decade.
