- The race you are about to see appear as originally broadcast and may contain imagery that is offensive and doesn't align with NASCAR's values. NASCAR has since permanently banned the display of the confederate flag at all events.
This is remarkable video footage, courtesy of ABC-TV Sports, back when Wide World of Sports would televise select NASCAR races the following Saturdays at 5 PM local time.
There was little in the way of news reporting of the races prior to the Saturday telecast; as it was newspapers, TV, or radio; where the Indy 500 would have media reports of the winners; but seldom would report on other races.
Magazines back then would have detailed articles of the races around two months after-the-fact. So, seeing these races six days later still had some elements of suspense to them as if they were televised live.
I do hate the canned SFX though... Almost no sounds you hear in these old race reports are real (taken during the filming), it's all SFX, they're just looped recordings of cars driving by, skids, metal banging and such
14:50 Chris Economaki walking out and reporting on pit road while the track is hot. Legendary.
22:48 26:46 mid pit stop interviews
62 Galaxy XL wish I had one!
The only "offensive imagery" in this video is NASCAR remembering us that they used to race real cars, used to be respected by media outlets, mechanical components used to be pushed to the edge (that's why the races are 500 miles, not to have a big TV slot!) and normal people used to be able to climb the racing ladder
HISTORICAL RESULTS
Larry Frank won after 4 hours and 14 minutes of racing by around 5 seconds over Junior Johnson with Marvin Panch and David Pearson on the lead lap. It was the hardest-fought Southern 500 up until then with only a couple of editions before finishing with TWO cars on the lead lap. Having 4 cars on the lead lap until the end wouldn't be equaled until 1976 and wouldn't get surpassed until 1980!

@@DanArnets1492 just leaving a warning for the next unsuspecting fellow, no need to be a dick
Adjusted for inflation, that $20K for winner Larry Frank would equal $200K in 2023.
Jesus Christ!

"may contain imagery that is offensive and doesn't align with NASCAR's values"
*The above statement shows the problem with the rise of fascism from The Left these days:*
*1.) What is "offensive" is entirely subjective in real life. I'm much more "offended" when 'people of color' are treated differently and inserted into stories where it makes no sense as part of an assault on European and White culture and cultural values.*
*2.) "NASCAR's values"... YOU ARE A COMPANY! Your "values" should be treating your employees and your customers well, and absolutely nothing else. No one should care, or even know about, what the executives of NASCAR personally feel about anything not strictly related to racing.*
Translation: never mind our past blatant racism. Like nobody knows how it was then. Neckcar is still Neckcar

Why did they keep calling the 43 car Dick Petty ???
Dick was the derivative of the name Richard.
@@pauldavis7310 Petty is Richard
