Look at those full stands, listen to those cars, good luck getting a ticket for less than double the price and wait in line for an hour to get into Hooters back then..... absolute awesome times.... miss them dearly..... I feel very fortunate to have experienced and spent every dollar and every vacation day to live NASCAR when it was huge
I've been to practically every nascar track on the east coast and I was this track during this race and I have to tell the racing now and the audience is nothing compared to what it used to be every track was full of rooting fans and tv ratings were off the charts now nascar is lucky to have 100000 people in the grandstands
@@OnwardSoldier actually if you look at the race's back then compared to now there's alot more people there than there is now the stands were practically full compared to what it is now
@@outlawz1975 Yeah I know. That's why I said "it isn't as popular as it once was" My point was that those crowds were never sustainable and the number of people at the tracks were going to come to what it was before the boom of the late 90s to mid 2000s.
This was the first race at Talladega after losing Dale senior in Daytona the Highbanks in the turns are all painted big with big number three in White I went outside to travel they had a black tarp with a number three on it the biggest one I’ve ever seen that was a sad day and a joyful day with Dale Junior winning this race that’s when he said shit on TV and got docked five points that really hurt going down towards winning the championship that year I think you lost by More than 25 points but it still didn’t help I wish I could go back in time Daytona race earlier that year I was there to this day I wish dale Sr had got caught up in that Wreck and turn three when Tony StewartGot upside down was involved in that happened right in front of me in the infield how things will be so much different today

I miss these days and these cars and the sound .
i realize it is kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
Really good sound. You can truly hear how awesome the old cars were.

I’m so jealous! I’ve been to a dozen races in the last two years, and it just doesn’t seem like what it would have been in the late 90s-early 2000s.
Sterling Marlin’s interview after the race. Classic.
God, I miss Gen 4 cars
I was 8 when jr won in a incredible drama in the closing laps of that race. that race should be #1 on nascars greatest races
Unfortunately I disagree

1985 coming from 2 laps down under green
Wow that crowd was hyped up !
There is a couple of versions of this race & I always come back to this one just for the sound
The sound from the cars at restrictor plate tracks back them was awesome and exciting. I miss it
Great audio quality
I have watched this race about 25 times probably
Same, it never gets old.
That was the good old days that was starting Dale Junior’s to drive for five wins in a row at Talladega 🏁🏁🏁
I had the pleasure of being in attendance at this race.
Brings back great memories I miss it
Love that sound
gotta feel bad for ricky craven there at the end, he was doing some great moves there before the crash
I forgot junebug won this, wow what a drive by him
Such a legendary win! I miss this NASCAR so much!!!
Me too man

Things change. NASCAR isn't as popular as it once was but it still is popular. I don't think the crowds back then were ever sustainable.

They were gonna keep this rules package in 2002 if the wreck on the final lap didn't happen.
this is racing.. not the single file bullshit you see now
jesus! just look at that crowd!
When real race cars use to race, love the sound of them...oh and with 5 lug nuts and real gauges instead now are garbage junks!!!... thanks nascrap!
I'm with Jimmy Spencer. This isn't racing.
One of my favorite races
Good job Kenny Wallace.
Why didn't Mikey just pull the rev chip out of the box? Ward Burton did that in 2003, and it worked fine after that
How did Kenny Wallace catch the pack after the first pit stop?
I would've love to have been someone in the stands on the backstretch on the last lap
Good old days
1:45:19 Will the owner of a white Ford Taurus Race the big brown truck
Jr. pushed Sterlin to the front on the outside right from the start... His car was so strong at plate tracks during this time

And months later got shipped off for war Afghanistan
Is this channel dead now?
Pit road traffic!!

Real racing.
Back before it became such a bastardized, politically correct dog and pony show.
The races then were too long. I love the stage racing. The gen 6 cars are way safer and better
Stage racing is terrible.
Said no one ever.
They need to cut all the bullshit out and go back to 03 style races so I can watch again
Someone is brain dead
