Tommy Houston and that Rose's car will always be one of my favorites! At an autograph signing when I was 9, he let me sit in his show car. He had to pick me up and help me through the window and then told me what all the switches were for. I'll never forget that.
Oh wow. I never expected to see Jack Sprague in 1992. I remember him from his days dominating the truck series roughly 20 years ago or so, but I had no idea he was in NASCAR that long.
This is the type of product that most NASCAR fans would lap up as being the Greatest thing ever. Short bursts of dirty and disrespectful 'action' followed by enough waiting periods to feed their social media addiction.
Do you feel like you got youre monies worth? How would you have felt if they shortened the race back to the 250 laps they ran before 92’ once they realized the track was flawed.
Sometimes back then tracks would run a 300 lap Busch race and 200 lap late model race in the same day and then because they added up to 500 laps, they would call the entire day's action the Mountain Dew 500, if that makes any sense. Instead of giving the Busch race a unique name, it was 3/5th of the 500 lap schedule of races. That's probably what happened here.
Could have been a 500k race. Some races are listed by miles, laps, or kilometers. Usually out of convenience so that you don't end up with something like a 499, or a 312...
This race looks more like a banger race than a high level professional motorsport event, and I can't help but wonder if those relatively meager winnings they apparently took from this race did anything to cover the amount of damage all of the cars had taken
... and no stage breaks to automatically qualify as cautions. Who else thinks that's ridiculous in today's NASCAR? May as well put asterisks to any race today that breaks a record for most cautions.
Asheville & hickory put on some of the best racing. its a shame what they have become. Asheville is a park for hippie wannabees now and hickory is a shadow of its former days but still has great racing
These were highlights. 132 laps of not even 300 were under caution. I would have been bored to tears! EDIT: 3:57 1st in points Kenny Wallace 1106 points, 2nd Joe Nemechek 1140 points. 🤔

Real racing. Miss these days.

This channel has some serious quality creations. Thanks so much- many relaxing evenings spent here.

Wow listen to the names in a Busch race. Awsome. They should do more short tracks like this. Nascar is doomed. These were the good ole days
Tommy's last win~ I loved that Roses car~
My favorite thing to do after work is scroll up a blunt and watch these videos.
1:10 That Jeff Gordon?
BlakeSasser yes that was Jeff Gordon in the Baby Ruth car
Yes. The narrator mentioned him when the 1 car was shown.
A hard fought win for Tommy Houston.
I was at this race. It was my very first NASCAR race. So disappointed when it was rained out the first time.

Why was it called the Mtn Dew 500 if it was only a 300 lap race? I'm just curious to find out.

@@michaelbruce1853 The Xfinity races at Talladega are that long, so no way is a 300-lap race on a short track 500 kilometers.
Yeah if you look up the old Martinsville races for the series they were called 500s but had a late model or modified undercard
@@chrismurphyracing94 Phoenix 500,was not miles, kilometers,so they could call it that.

The 1992 Mountain Dew 500 was aired on Easter Sunday, April 19, 1992 on GMA Radio-Television Arts at 4:00 P.M.
44 percent of the race (132 out of 300 laps) was run under caution with an average speed of just 53.852 mph.
longest run was 24 laps lol
Ill never understand why they didnt shorten this race back to the laps they ran in previous years once they realized the track was not race able.
This was like trying to race on the moon. I wonder how well todaze nasacars would have held up to the challenge?
Looks grimy enough to be in Days Of Thunder.
Tommy Houston is Teresa Earnhardt's uncle

What's NASCAR ??? In 2022, nothing.
No, ive had more on my roblox nascar series..
No wonder why NASCAR is dead... Look at the action on every lap back in the day

Back when racing was fun,just sayin'
