The interview with Lee Roy Yarbrough @48:12 . . . that year Lee Roy crashed his race car, doing tire testing, at the old Texas World Speedway; and according to many published sources, he was a different person after that; where decades later, people are surmising he may have suffered from CTE to the brain due to the hard crash. Yarbrough died in a mental hospital in 1984. A tremendous loss to NASCAR back in a vintage era.
I agree with you. Right after Texas, he crashed again, this time driving one of Dan Gurney's Eagles, splitting his helmet during the impact. Cale Yarborough flew Lee Roy back home after being hospitalized from the tire testing accident at Texas; he said he knew something was wrong with Lee Roy as he hardly said a word. Later on Junior Johnson (who said Lee Roy was the best to ever drive for him because he was fearless) would have to pull Lee Roy off the track because his erratic behavior, and even spent over $250,000 of his own money sending Lee Roy to specialists to figure out what happened to him. Obviously, his behavior was due to multiple concussions, and even though he was the first driver ever to win the three crown jewels in the same year (Daytona 500, Darlington Southern 500, Charlotte World 600) and the first to win the Daytona 500 and Daytona Firecracker 400 in the same year, was voted 1969 driver of the year, was also voted Ford Motor Cars driver of the year AND is in NASCAR's top 50 drivers of all time...they (NASCAR and it's voters) have refused to include Lee Roy in it's Hall of Fame, even now knowing the dangers of traumatic head injuries, inducting Dale Jr who admitted driving multiple times knowing he had concussions. Lee Roy was an advocate for driver safety and lead the walkout for the inaugural race of the Alabama 500 at Talladega due to tire issues the cars were having. Lee Roy punched "Big Bill" France square in that horse face of his, dropping him like a sack of potatoes, when Bill demanded the show will take place. And, that is why this piece of shit organization has not inducted Lee Roy, and maybe it's for the better, because Lee Roy will always live rent free in their hypocritical minds.
Wow i didn’t know that he died in a psych ward, it’s very sad that this man suffered this much because people didn’t understand head injuries back then.. For them it was all fine and dandy if you survived. Head injuries were only declared as “bad” if a driver either died or became a human vegetable. If he was able to get out a somewhat coherent sentence after the crash it was considered a minor accident. Very sad..
I certainly wasn't here for the 70s heck i wasn't even around in the 90s but i have go to say i love watching old footage it gives you a sence of pride for today's society and how far the generations of the past and present have come
It's so amazing to watch videos of the wing cars in action from over fifty years ago. I can barely remember watching these races live as an 11 year-old. My brother bought the newstand copy of _Stock Car Racing_ that told the story of Buddy Baker's 200mph lap at Talledega in the Chrysler's light blue #88 Daytona test mule. It was a fascinating time, with the big troubles of Vietnam, RFK and MLK's assasinations, college campus riots, and the incredible Apollo moon landings. People were not silenced, ingenuity was not silenced, NASCAR racercars were actual modified factory machines that people could identify with and root for. Those days are _lonnngggg_ gone.
And at 22:14 you can listen Dr. Don Tarr speaking with the ABC crew from his car. He was the original "In-Race Reporter" and also the one who pioneered the two-way radio communication between driver and crew in NASCAR.
Donnie Allison was a great driver who had a lot of bad luck during his career. He had the Daytona 500 won with just a few laps to go in '74 but had a cut tire that allowed Petty to win from a distant second. And he was leading the 500 on the last lap in '79 when he and Cale had the big wreck followed by the famous fight
I wish NASCAR would accumulate all races from the networks from over the years, remaster them and then create their own streaming service to show them on. I would gladly pay for a NASCAR streaming service.....They could show live races on there too...
Love those wings over Daytona, And what a great win for Donnie, he was good for going up against those winged Mopar's! Thanks for posting this cool footage Smiff.
I was there in the stands at this race, sat about 100 yards out of the last turn. Buddy Baker was not happy he did not win. I was a Missionary at the time and my companion and I with others got permission to go. That night in Titusville Florida I saw the best fireworks, as in ever. Fun times.
You know the best part ?? Last night i saw this channel "" Muscle car of the week"" showing an interview with Bobby Unser and his car """69' Torino Cobra""!!
It’s nice not to hear the name Earnhardt every time the cars go by for years that’s all that was ever talked about how the old man drove and hit people or how poor jr just can’t catch a break
Like many comments here I love this era of stock car racing. I'm from southern Indiana and friends with Charlie Glotzbach and many of his kin folk, so I was always rooting for Charlie in any race. He got to drive some of the great Superbird cars and he was fast.
Fords answer to the Chrysler/Dodge Wing cars was the Ford Torino Talladega. It was actually more slippery and had more down force. This pissed off the Mopar guys no end. They were just as quick. The prototype Talladega with the Boss 429 engine was tested at the Charlotte airport at midnight just before Christmas in 1969. The Ford big wigs, KarKraft and Hollman Moody guys were there too. There is a report that Bod Moore drove it. He will never admit it. So the car went out to the runway and did a couple of runs up to 5000rpm. He was brought in and told to start at the beginning of the runway. Off he went, taking it out to 7800rpm through the gears. It went to 8000 and 223mph 3/4 way down the runway. Both the brakes on the fronts exploded and he had to put it into a slide to stop it. Hushed silence. The driver driver brought the car, smoking and everything, back to the group, got out, threw his helmet on the ground and walked off, got into his car and left. Everyone stared. The Ford guy broke the silence and was heard to say, "They will ban it for sure". They did.
I was 18 in 1970. The Torino Talladegas and Mercury Cyclone Spoilers looked like they were going 200 mph standing still. Of all the cars that have raced in NASCAR, none have looked better than the Torino. With that Boss 429 engine, they could easily match the 426 Hemi. When I was a junior in high school in 1969, one of the students bought a new 1969 Torino Super Cobra Jet. Fastest car at my school. Good memories.
there is so much hype and bs myth about the winged mopars,.......FACT #1 When facing a full contingent of allfour Ford Teams the winged cars only won 3 times.......FACT the winged cars were almost as fast as the Fords.

If Only.... If only NASCAR would have left well enough alone. 1971 would have been the dawning of the Aero Cars. Ford had a sweet ride already designed and built for the 71 year. And a few of them still survive today, just google it..
The King Cobra was designed for the 1970 season and was stillborn cuz Ford cut racing budget by 75% in that year. Thats why most were still driving the Talladegas and weren't driving the full shedule
Larry Shinoda was at the helm designing it before he got fired at the end of 69. He wanted a car that was faster than the mopars but without those ugly rearspoilers and had a GT40 for inspiration. At the same time Holman/Moody was at the BOSS engine, cranking out 700hp It would've been the car to beat and the car that kept Petty with Ford, at least for one more year
Fords were slower... Why do you think the winged cars were banned. GM and Ford cried like a bunch of babies about it. Kind of previously in 1960 and 1961 when the Mopar slant 6 kicked the crap out of the GM and Fords (and they cried like babies) and the slant 6 was banned.

I never understood why the independents didnt try to race each other and are all by themselves. If nothing else they could have saved Union gasoline drafting each other 😄
those ford's never looked as good like the superbird and daytonas the hemi won more than Ford ever did I don't give a darn what anyone says it's the truth
too funny, NASCAR records are available..........you may not give a DARN what anybody says but I guess you a hard time accepting the facts.
@@davidthayer6969 wrong you are the one having a hard time with the truth you don't have dam clue the wing cars put a whipping on them you just hate the truth hemi holds more wins makes me laugh bunch of ya crying as usual can't handle the truth and telling yourself you can't take facts I know nascar records and hemis hold more wins go learn how to handle the truth and facts
@@josephschrom7401 Please tell me exactly what your trouble with MATH is.......in 1970 the Winged Mopars won 12 races, 4 of which had NO Factory Fords entered............the Fords won 10.........its the internet age Joe, data and facts are not hard to come by.
@@josephschrom7401 again 12 wins to 10 and of the twelve winged cars wins, FOUR came in races that the Fords didnt enter due to budget cuts...........Again Joe, its the internet age, dont take my word for it the info is all out there on NASCARS official records.........even the PRO MOPAR site Allpar has the right data out there.........and it does not agree with you either......sorry.
