    First I want to say, Rest in Peace John Andretti. Long time NASCAR Winston Cup driver John Andretti passed away after a 2 year battle with colon cancer. You were a great, clean, and fair racer and a great, polite, and just all around, great guy! Please keep the Andretti family in your prayers NASCAR fans.
    Ok so, the grey ghost at Daytona in 1980. This was Buddy's most proud win. You can guarantee that, after Buddy Baker joined CBS and he joined Ken Squire and Ned Jarrett to call the races and the Daytona 500 every year on CBS, Buddy Baker would always bring up his win in 1980 and it was the fastest Daytona 500 run. And after the implementation of the restrictor plates, if the Daytona 500 had a 3rd caution flag, Buddy would always say, that caution right there should solidify my race winning record for at least 1 more year. LoL Also, RIP Buddy. You were the gentle giant, great racer, great commentator, and a great and kind person. We miss you!

      @BSNFabricating 3 года назад +15

      That was the appeal of stock car racing. Under the sheetmetal, they were purpose-built race cars, but they looked just like street cars, because they actually used stock body panels, real bumpers, glass windshields, etc. The only major body modification was to flare the wheel openings to cover the racing tires.
      They started getting away from the stock appearance with the GM10 Buicks, Pontiacs, and Oldsmobiles in 1988, when they had to stretch the body of a front-wheel drive car to fit a stock car chassis, then with the Ford Taurus in 1998, and it devolved into the mess they have now where there's no resemblance between what's on the track and what's on the road.

Wilson knew that one can of gas was just barely going to get them to the finish and recalled leaning into the window and telling Baker not to go until all the gas was in. Baker described himself as being like "a caged animal" just itching to drop the clutch. He leaves early. As it turned out Baker ran out of fuel at the flag.

I stumbled onto this post because I logged on to see the highlights (lowlights?) of the 2020 Clash. I shook my head at the seemingly endless crash-filled attempts of a green-white checkers. I watched the 12 minutes of Clash coverage on YT and that was more than enough for me. Then I put this on and wished I could see every race from 1980. That championship battle between Cale and Dale that year was a good one.

      I totally agree with you I use to be a HUGE NASCAR fan back in the 70s and 80s. The racing as pure, real, and honest. But todays NASCAR racing is no more than a joke. The Daytona 500 shoud be 500 miles. No more, no less. (Well...less if it rains and they have to call it off). But that's the ONLY reason for any kind 0f change in the distance. This whole green white checker business is down right stupid. Yeah we wanna see a green flag finish if possible. But not at the expense of wrecking a bunch of cars and maybe someone getting badly injured or even killed. I think today's NASCAR management has a lot of re thinking to do. But I doubt they'll ever do it because they are more concerned with money than they are with racing.

    One thing to note. The voice-over parts from legendary CBS Sports voice-over man Don Robertson were, for some reason, left out, likely because of sponsorship (and possible broadcast company) concerns. He did one at the very beginning of the broadcast, one at the very end of the broadcast, and one around the midway point of the race (the one for the midway part of the 1980 race came just after the green flag came back out following the caution for the Marcis/Yarborough incident).

    • @HODIUSDUDE

      So, I wonder if the voice overs occured post satellite feed? That is to say, they were not left out of this feed intentionally, but simply had not been inserted yet. We are watching the raw feed from the track and the voice overs were inserted at final production after re-transmission from New York. So the voice overs, just like the commercials would be inserted over this feed.

    I just watched this today. I started to become a NASCAR fan in 1986 so I had never seen this race. After watching it, a couple observations and thoughts: 1. Amazing that about 80 cars tried to qualify for the race. Of the 42 in the race, 22 were Oldsmobiles. 2. Those cars still looked stock and didn't look aerodynamic at all. So I guess what they lacked in aerodynamics they made up in horsepower. 3. The frontstretch grandstands are so small compared to today. 4. No pack racing so cars were spread out. No crash that wiped out several cars. 5. A lot of cars had little to no sponsorship on them. 6. Even though it was only his 2nd year in NASCAR, Earnhardt was great driving from 32nd at the start to the lead. He had just signed a 5 year contract with Osterland that paid him 6 figures annually. 7. No speed limit on pit row so it seemed strange to see cars flying though the pits. 8. No commercials but when they went to commercials the cameras stayed on the track and the announcer's mikes were open. During those times, Ken Squier the lead announcer was practically directing the broadcast! Looking forward to watching more in preparation for the 500 in about a week!!!

    After trying for so many years and have it slip between his fingers the year before Buddy really deserved his Daytona win.
    He then passed the curse to Darrell Waltrip, then after of course it was passed to the man himself: Dale Earnhardt

    A lot of people requesting the 2005 Daytona 500. It’s crazy to me & quite frankly I would love to see it, but if it were to happen, it’ll most likely be produced in 4:3 & not 16:9. Which sucks but it is what it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

    People say the racing now is BETTER, closer finishes, maybe, but the Old Races like this were better. The cars look more like cars, the drivers were not a bunch of young kids, these drivers had EARNED these rides over years not months. I also think the commentators were more descriptive, was like "Watching" Radio.

    *IMPORTANT INFO before the 1980 DAYTONA 500 (2 of 31):*
    · Several top drivers ran into trouble in the Western 500km race in Riverside. Bonnett (34th), Parsons (33rd), Yarborough (23rd) and Bobby Allison (18th) all failed to complete 90% of the distance due to a variety of problems. The race itself was mostly a duel between Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip, which went for the #88 after the #11 ran into mechanical trouble. Behind DW, it was Earnhardt, Richad Petty, Millikan and Bill Schmitt in the top5 with Childress, Labonte, Bill and Don Whittington and Ronnie Thomas completing the top10.
    · The 50-mile Clash included 12 cars. The safety car never showed up and Dale Earnhardt narrowly outclassed Neil Bonnett.
    · Buddy Baker won the pole position for the Daytona 500 for the 2nd year in a row, this time at a bit over 194mph, with Donnie Allison also getting in the front row.
    · The 1st Duel was marked by several crashes while the 2nd one only had one multi-car accident. The races themselves were won by Neil Bonnett and Donnie Allison respectively.
    · Several then-current and future famous names failed to qualify for the Daytona 500 including Sterling Marlin, Lake Speed and Kyle Petty.
