Waltrip wrecks Earnhardt & Labonte: 1987 Goody's 500 from Martinsville : Classic Full Race Replay

[@deerhunterbambi6]

Man what a race! Love these old races.

[@pauldivers7985]

I was there, damn what a race..I lived a cross the highway from the race track on Southland Dr..I was 19, man this brings me back, Gr8 times..y'all have a blessed week.....

[@racingmaniac2549]

Thanks NASCAR for the upload.

[@sntstafford]

Back when NASCAR was in its’ glory days. Thanks for the upload.

[@Foxfire_forty-nine]

Lol, what do you mean "glory days"

[@sntstafford]

Back when NASCAR was still ascending from a regional to national/international sport; halcyon days, if you will.

[@michaelhazen3153]

The in car cameras of Bodine a & Waltrip at the '87 Daytona 500 are amazing. Waltrip looks like just another day at the office.

[@theDENIMMAN]

Waltrip's summary at the end sounds about right to me. I may be a bit biased as a Labonte fan but I dont think Terry meant to hit DW at all. Earnhardt threw a solid block and after Terry hit the wall the rest was basically just a result

[@tedgey4286]

Agree 💯 these three are amazing racecar drivers. Great race. Nascar got it right I think

[@nycsongman9758]

Wow; this vid is very crisp, and clear, to be 30+ years old. Fantastic.

[@danieltourigny1063]

good image quality. Thanks!

[@cnking27]

The race that made Darrell a fan favorite 😆

[@tedgey4286]

Looked to me like Texas Terry came down on DW and just wasn't quite clear. DWs not obligated to lift for Labonte. Not on the last lap anyways. Feel bad for Labonte because it looks like he had the most car but those are three superstar drivers and he just got a little unlucky. What a great race!

You can see Waltrip got Terry sideways, then Terry over corrected and got Dale.

I wish it was the Martinsville race from 2007 where Jimmie and Jeff fought for the win, but still Thx u Nascar for this Race.

[@kharnthebetrayer1575]

That was a great race !!! But the one Tony won with that power move on the outside is always overlooked.

[@funhavin5394]

Sr making the car extremely wide and then fenced Labonte off of turn 2. Labonte lost his cool and chopped down on Darrell. DW did nothing wrong.

[@russmartin1814]

Absolutely.

[@tedgey4286]

That's about what I saw too. Sr didn't do anything wrong either. They're all trying to win a race they're all incredible drivers. What a treat to see all of them in their prime

[@TheRealDill93]

@@tedgey4286 agree. That’s just racing.

[@noahfrankel7966]

MARTINSVILLE looked so much wider for some reason

[@erikscherer22]

It was till 1999 when the corners were narrowed slightly to make room for the larger pit road. Up until then Martinsville had 2 separate pit roads (1 on the frontstretch and 1 on the backstretch), when they combined the 2 it took up more room in the infield and they had to narrow the track.

[@LeoA2600]

Don't forget too that the SAFER barrier has since narrowed up the track even further.

[@LITTLE1994]

Different era before things make it thinner and focused on safety.

[@ThePoison38]

Nascar please bring back high HP cars

There used to be planters on the outside of the walls behind the fence. It was always dressed up.

[@mindofmyown333]

Was Martinsville bigger back then? It looks huge

[@jamesscully529]

Hasn't changed since 1950 except for the concrete on the bottom lane of the turns and the pits reconfigured in the late 90s that eliminated the backstretch pit. Sort of made the track look different.

[@mindofmyown333]

@@jamesscully529 wow, it blows my mind how much larger it looks here. Maybe it’s just me. I’m glad it hasn’t changed though. It’s a fantastic track

[@jamesscully529]

@@mindofmyown333 The straightaways were narrowed a bit to widen the pits when a single pit road was designed. That also took away all that grass so the sightlines are different. This is the Martinsville I remember.

[@kharnthebetrayer1575]

You should see old Richmond compared with today’s. I don’t think I ever saw the old configuration when a kid, but today’s is my stomping grounds. Will be going for the spring race , but my 1st 500 makes me giddy !!!

Why is it only 1 hour

[@33skoalbandit]

Back then, not all of the races were shown live. The ones that weren't were typically broadcast at some other time as an hour or so highlight program, like this.

[@badbooking3221]

Some examples of networks that did this were SETN and Mizlou. By the time 1987 rolled around, this practice was cut to maybe just a small handful of races a year, wiped out completely by 1989.
