The early-mid 60’s are my favorite era of American autos. Damn those cars are cool!
Yeah, 1959-79 was the Golden Age of NASCAR. When men were MEN.... including Janet Guthrie 😂.
Howard Cosell's talent on full display here. His ability to weave sports and culture together in a compelling and unique way was light years ahead of his time. Cosell vs Ali ? Maybe the best Media/athlete combo ever.
he sucked, i can't even finish this video because of that kiss ass.
Cosell was from North Carolina. He might have been rooting for the Petty's. LOL
@@TexanUSMC8089 Howard may have been born in N.C. but he was a Brooklyn boy.
Love the footage. Back when racing was really racing. Cars were a lot closer to STOCK cars, not the cookie cutter crap they are running today. Granted, the newer cars are faster, but the older cars got class!
..can you imagine running a TOYOTA in Nascar in 1960??..yeah...a Toyopet Crown...😆
Couldn't agree more. Today's NASCAR is an embarrassment.
@@smaze1782 Ugly ass car's since the 90s
Newer cars aren't much faster, in 1966 @ Daytona they were running 185 mph, by 70 200mph and these cars were a lot LOT harder to drive, these were real driver's from 1960-70
Back when the racing was exciting, but insanely dangerous.
THE KING has a 3 on the tree Plymouth !!!!!!!
And now he has a 3 year old driving for him named boo hoo bubba Wallace what a disgrace I wish I could share this video with bubba
High gear is all that matters anyway, so why not a column shift?
You didn't have all kinds of options back then. Three speeds were standard. Four speeds were extremely rare. Richard Petty wasn't the king back then. He only had a couple of years under his belt. And listen closely to the narrator's voice. It's a young, unknown, yet to be controversial Howard Cossell!
@@robbiejones4933 BUBBA IS NOT A THREE YEAR OLD! He's a talented racer, although he has a temper.
It was a time when NASCAR used cars I could actually buy from the showroom, not some painted body on sheet metal with totally unrealistic engines. I wish NASCAR would go back to it's roots and use stock cars, it would be much more entertaining than it's current version!
And Cosell says “all engine parts are stock that anyone can go buy off the shelf.” Thinking they should try that again.
Nobody wants to see a bunch of current Camrys or Malibus struggling to cling to the banked turns at Daytona or break 115 mph.
What would be suitable in 2020? GM and Ford no longer sell any sedans in 2020.
I think you're all romanticizing the past.In 1961 Chevy upgraded to the 409 engine,and still got curb stomped by pontiac.Pontiac dominated for two years,while everyone else was helpless.Then everything got crazier with more extreme and exotic engines,then came the aero wars.
@@paulrogers6037 A Malibu with a 305 V8 racing engine, which is sort of what the Volvo V8supercar was, would do 180 mph. I can imagine that.
When stock cars were , well , stock cars. I’m too young to remember these days, but love the old footage. This would make nascar more interesting today.
Old brave nascar racers! *salute*
Tiny Lund in a '60 Oldsmobile! We had a '61, near identical, 394...she was a boat, but a fast boat.
@@ssbn6175 yes until improvements from stock factory cars. Straight line stock very fast. Brakes & any turns they very dangerous. Need a pot right under drivers seat. Yes I drove them many times before perfect example. Drive like a blame boat until improved.
@@Houndini, exactly...interstate cruising between gas stations, allergic to corners. Dad picked ours up in '68 for the express purpose of making a 3000 mile round trip to watch Apollo 11 take off. Our family car to that point was a '62 Willys Station Wagon (salt box) with a 255 (I think) Hurricane flathead six.
That Oldsmobile was a revelation.
That is a younger Howard Cosell doing the emcee work.
Kool to hear Howard
Sounds like he was getting paid by Gabriel...
Sounds like Howard to me. I know he used to report from Indy.
This is what made NASCAR. Now they have thrown it all away
Sad but true. This new garbage is the biggest wreck of all.
If you watched this race today you would say it was the most boring thing you have ever seen. 48 cars, only two cars on the lead lap. 10th place was 11 laps down. Took 4 hours and 45 minutes to run. Today's fans would have turned this off after the first 10 minutes.
@@davidburris8230 You are incorrect. THIS is the ONLY way I will watch nascar ever again. This is how I've been watching whenever I want to. Shut it off, come back after mowing the yard and resume where I left off. A couple of beers, some snacks, I don't know who will win, and best of all... NO 'EFFEN' SNOWFLAKES!
@@SPCLPONY So where are you finding full races? I can find highlight reels but nothing full from that era.
@@davidburris8230 Type in a specific track name, year, or event name like 1970 Firecracker 400 which is a little over 1 hour and 11 mins. Keep in mind, there are no TV commercials, and the uploader may 'skip' some of the mundane stuff. I typed in '1975 Talladega' and 3 different races over an hour and 30 minutes long came up from 1970 thru 75. I cast onto my big screen and enjoy! Try Charlotte, Daytona (there's some great vintage racing on the beach before the super speedway was built!)
Stars and Bars with black face and no riots. Having fun and enjoying the races!
Nothing like southern grown racism!!!
There was no racism in South Carolina in the early sixties, was there? No one person of color in the Nascar parade. Tragic.
@Fire&Ice909 uh huh sure it did

@@armyretired28 all I commented on was the fact that the South has much more racism than the North and you wrote a fucking novel and as far as "marxist/socialist government schools" go I think you can thank the Republicans for the dumbing down of America, because they prosper when the population is uneducated and can be told what to think via such outlets as Fox News. I don't think branding the North as racist absolves anyone else from being that way also.
Back when people were busy having fun other than busy being offended
You seem offended about that
@@HasBeensNAddicts What's offending about having fun?
F the politics
@Jeff Kopis that's literally how jobs have always worked. If you represent a company and they think you aren't doing it well, they fire you. That's how the free market works. Don't get mad at people reacting to someone's off handed insensitive remarks. It's been like that for a LONG time. Freedom of speech isn't freedom from the consequences of speech, especially with employment.
@@ttessie Not that, he's complaining about people complaining
I remember having Gabriel HiJacker air shocks on my 1978 Buick Regal.
Cosell narrates this, mind blowing.
It's crazy that in just 9 years they went from tail fins to the aero-wings of the daytona and superbird
With cars that looked like boxes in between lol. Love it love it LOVE IT
Kinda the ULTIMATE tailfins in 1970, dontcha think? Something had to hold that wing up!
Back when you didn't complain about Anything. Real Racing boys . Love to have some of the Engine's.🏁
oh, I'm pretty sure Rex White had a few complaints

Yer Dad's Watching it with You yep. For sure.
It's a shame that people can't celebrate their heritage anymore without someone being offended!! Thank you for this great opportunity to see the roots of Nascar!!
There Heritage was A 3 Year War That They Started And Lost ? You Do Know They Attacked The United States Of America to Enslave People.
I Love NASCAR, but I refuse to celebrate Traitors, Please don't claim it was not about Slavery, simply Google the Declarations Of Secession For Each Confederate State.

@@armyretired28 You need to go back to school. University of RUclips is not accredited.
This is quite a nice document in many ways. The first 10 minutes is a salute to good ol' boy ideology including Stars and Bars worship, women in swimsuits a black-faced "spirit of the old south" and the loser of a bet paraded wearing a sombrero and riding a donkey . At the 10 minute mark we get to the racing which with a bit of over the top repetition of tire screeches. The pre-race filmed inside the car shots are a nice touch and the editing of the race is adequate, all topped off with classic Howard Cosell narration.
Its so funny…and kinda ironic…to hear Cosell narrate this
Basically 10 minutes of all the things Democrats wish people would forget about.
@@DucknCoverin the people on top claiming thats what they are, yes
I like the crashing sounds even when no one is crashing. 😆
What incredible footage. Thank you for uploading.
Fantastic love this ❤️ from uk
I miss these days of Nascar. I'm afraid that Nascar is in their final seasons .
Amazing how many IN CAR CAMERAS they had in 1960!
23:22 his "fuel stop" is a cold one lol
Thanks so much for putting these out. Great Americana that’ll never again be seen. I have a 64 GTO that my dad bought new, I inherited it and Fireball Roberts was always my favorite driver. Thanks again.
Could imagine Stars and Bars today. I was born in 1960 and the 60 Impala has always been my favorite.
I was born in 1957.. 1962 Pontiac Bonneville one of my favorites..
That was when Nascar had rules run what you brung I miss. Them days Smokey , Soapy Gary Gaines and tiny Lund most gone but not forgotten
Howard Cosell talent knew no limits
Nothing but the finest in t shirts and brain buckets, men were men.
Great find. Cotton Owens & Rex White & Fireball driving! Both great drivers. Joe only got few years live until Riverside. Curtis I bet missed him. No secrets now love have all details on the cars. Not cheating it just not in rule books yet. Amazing stuff they come up with some great. Some like fuel in dashboard & roll bars stupid.
I like the fact that thier fireproof driving suits mimic street clothes!
😂
LOL, I love it. Back when they tried to speed the cars up and let testosterone set the pace. They need to make everyone run a stock block, heads, chassis and drive train layout and go back to racing real cars.
I agree they need to get more stock into stock cars. And I like your idea of stock blocks and heads but when it comes to chassis there may be safety factors that come into play. I really would love to see them forced to use stock blocks and heads though
They'd just run a bunch of Koenigseggs and McLarens...
Also, could you imagine a stock Toyota Camry running around trying desperately to so much as hit 150?
The car's these days are junk compared to what they had back then. How far do you think a stock car would make it today ?
That wasn't NASCAR's fault, it was Detroits, for abandoning big RWD coupes with V8s (only Ford kept making them with the T-bird), for wrong wheel drive, shrunken shit boxes with V6s. Nobody wants to see THAT racing.
Back when people didn't dress like a slob when out in public. Makes me think any car made after 1972 is ugly junk as well. Including my own. What happened to this country don't look like progress to me.
What an exciting race.
And i enjoyed to dubbed announcer too. Very exciting ☮️💖👍
@20:12 the sound effects are the stuff of Hollywood.

It is. He would have been my last choice for this event. NYC accent doesn’t work here
So Cosell did a little NASCAR sports announcing before he uttered: “DOWN GOES FRAZIER” three times in the Forman- Frazier fight classic.
Howard Cosell was very good but I likes Kieth Jackson because he could sing his voice with excitement and made you part of the moment with his style.
Miss them both.
Back when stock cars actually looked like stock cars. Drivers wearing jeans and button down shirts. Awesome.
Sad how Fireball Roberts ended up just a few years later. The guy wa a legend of NASCAR.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING! Much rather watch this than any race today. I can barely read the number and no idea what kind of car or driver.......
Forgot about the Chris Economaki era of ABC Sports and NASCAR wearing his black horn rim glasses. He shined in describing things about a race car in a way that made it understandable.

2. Turn left.
Check out his bio with Dave Despain on you tube. Theres a whole lot more of his evaluations, all of them to the point and oh so correct including where we are now
Gotta wonder if the fins on the Mopars helped stability, Richard Petty claimed the Superbird's wings did later on.
The 1957 Chrysler 300 was wind tunnel tested for that same reason and it was found at high speeds the fins actually did affect handling.
Long live the south and the heritage will always live on.
good ole boys
Back when cars were cars Race on Sunday, sell on Monday. Back before sooks and snowflakes destroyed the world. In these videos every is happy,smiling and having a good time. And not all ass hurt over a flag. Awesome video. 👍
The line about the Confederate Stars and Bars being a symbol of freedom was jaw-dropping.
I think they meant southern states’ freedom from the federal government in Washington.
@@timonsolus And the federal government in Washington, is we the people, who want to be the best Americans we can be, despite the pushback from those who think their state, is more important than any country, and will take that tribal attitude to their own ruin, rather than admit they could have been wrong, all their pathetic small lives.
It's not. It's a symbol of oppression. I was never prouder to be a NASCAR fan than when they banned it.
Thanks
The fins.
Simpler times, I love some early Howard Cossell.
hey do you have the 2008 Daytona 500 the full race I've been trying to find it but there all terrible quality I'm just trying to know if you have it.
Unfortunately i don't but the official NASCAR channel has been uploading a lot of Daytona 500 broadcasts lately. Hopefully they will upload the 2007 and 2008 races before the 2021 Daytona 500.
Richard Petty my favorite stock car driver
Their ability to pull out of a spin is amazing, considering the tires and steering set-ups. But you just got to love the fake skid and crash sounds.
If the steering ratios were faster back then, many of those spins could have been avoided.
current nascar officials should have to watch this.
That's the good stuff!!!
Howard Cosell as your announcer!!!
They were still using stock fuel tanks.
Straight up side-pipes on Herb Tillman's #39 1960 Chevy @18:34!
Perhaps the first reference to Richard Petty as "king" @19:47? Cosell was almost too much!
13:34 is where the Bobby Johns crash starts. Close to that point.
brb going to buy some Gabriel Shock Absorbers
History! Rewrite it doesn't change it, love the no pit wall.first stock car I drove was a 1956 dodge coronet around the block in the neighborhood, nobody cared, we just did our thing thank the great generation, for everything in the 50's &60s, damm no more star's &bar's on the Eiffel Tower,
Bill Feld, you so right,,,,, we need to go back 100%
Damn shame ain't it. Great grand son and grandson of ga bootleggers here. My dadi first race car was a 1956 Chevy. Same puke pink as Earnhardt's first car. he raced at savannah speedway ( fastest speedway in the south ) 1/2 mile paved oval all the greats of the 50s-60sand 70s raced there. We lived behind the race track nothing but woods between us and the track probably 4 - 500 yards , in silk hope ga 10 miles out side of savannah ga. My dad used to drive the race car to the track they would tape a flash light to the trunk with a red lens to drive back home at night cause he had to go out on the highway to drive back to the house. Good times I was born in 76 my dad was driving a dodge by the time I could recalect which was 3 or 4 years old . I grew up at savannah speedway till It closed in the early 80s then onto Oglethorpe speedway which was a mile a way the way a the way a crow flies the opposite direction of the house and savannah speedway . You could hear both tracks from my bed room window when they was racing. I've raced nearly all my life times have completely changed and not for the best. Well never be that free again .
This was when Good Year invented the Good Year Maypop tires .
...back when people used to celebrate their heritage instead of apologizing for it.

Scary stuff back then.
So did some cars have a driver and camera guy in it? Or was it a mounted camera
Those shots would not be photographed during the race.
Supposedly they did over 120mph and were referred to as ‘stabilisers’ rather than tailfins. Apparently Chevy found their horizontal stabilisers on the ‘59 cars caused the rear end to lift over 110-120mph…
I think NASCAR was a lot more interesting, a lot more real in this era. If we could meld today's safety technology with the bare hands grit and determination of early NASCAR, I think we'd have something to sell again. I feel the same way about Indy car and Formula One. I think that only drag racing and local circle track racing retains their original spirit.

I doubt you could find anyone in Paris who had ever even heard of nascar back then...
Strange seeing a 1960 Plymouth racing. Even stranger is the drivers in street clothes, no firesuits anywhere to be seen.
Three people have lost their lives.
NASCAR: "Meh, keep racing."
I was looking for this comment.... and it took "a long time" to find it. Mind blowing isn't it? Truly was a "simpler time" when people lived hard, and dying was... well... "inevitable", so no point dwelling on it. I guess??? We've all heard the expression... "It's the way they would have wanted it", and in this case, and that time... that phrase evidently rang true to everyone there without question. It's hard to say how long it took before they actually started racing again, but from this edited version, it seemed as if they may have never stopped... except to clear the other car (which didn't dive down into the pit area) from the track. Another thing I noticed about that part in the film, the driver of that #5 car (which did dive into the pits killing the three men) looked like a 16yo from the side and rear view. I'm thinking not, but again... 1960, so "hard to say"?
When the stars and bars was an integral part of southern stock car racing.
Where NASCAR was born, but now they are trying to erace history, by banning the stars and bars. Thanks Bubba!!
Race on Sunday sell on Monday was true but more than that so many safety features came out of racing and out of the testing of autos the insurance safety institute. There were commercials about this time that were put on as public announcements urging people to get seat belts installed in their cars
I say, bring back the stars and bars.
This is when NASCAR was real. When you won the race you could by the same stock car at the local dealers. I hate NASCAR today. The Cars today have fake headlight and tail lights. Today they allow Toyota to race. NASCAR was an American Race and they need to bring it back like it was in the 60s and 70s.
These are not stock from the dealers. they added many things,,,,,,,,, extra shocks, duel injection tricked the carb, pipes and so on. But they did look like them for sure,, And I love that part.
See that South of the Border add with Pedro at the beauty contest?

Notice these really were stock cars. The drivers wore street clothes. It was pretty dangerous anyway you look at it.
Soooo…does anyone wonder what future ABC sports races would have been like with Howard Cosell calling them instead of men like Keith Jackson or Jim McCay? I wonder if Cosell was offered any of those racing opportunities? Imagine Cosell calling Daytona or the Indy 500 with Roger Ward. McCay always had as many questions as answers….Cosell always came thouroughly prepared and knew everything. Hmmm
I have nothing bad to say about any of them. Deserved broadcasting legends all.
Why do I want to buy Gabriel shock absorbers now?
Because even in 2022 they make cutting edge suspension parts, including shocks!!
Is that Howard Cosell narrating?
Before everyone lived in a safe and virtual world, there were men, and they knew their pronouns.
@19:45 Cosell speaks of Lee Petty's 2 "Kings" Richard and Paskell...is this possibly what led to the moniker "King Richard?" Is it possible Howard Cosell gave Richard his lifetime nickname, "King Richard?"
Good god drum brakes. They must have been about worthless by half the race.
silverbird58 which they did not have
I've driven some of those vintage cars with drum brakes. Pretty scary if you're used to modern disc brakes. I hit the brakes, and the car seemed to speed up.
I still have drums on my 67 Camaro.No abs but you can still lock up all 4 wheels and if you know how to use the brake pedal the car will stop.Of course I'm not going 120 for 500 miles.Also you dont get a lot of stopping power from such narrow tires anyway.
@@larrynason8716 One stop from 80mph in my Dodge and the drums were done. I put front discs on, and problem solved.
During a race they didn’t need to brake very often, lift off for the corners but only really brake for pit stops or if there was a spin or crash ahead.
Back when Confederates conquered Europe and American auto engineers had yet to discover the atmosphere.
