1991 Valleydale Meats 500: Full race, Bristol
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 дек 2024
- Watch the 1991 Valleydale Meats 500 from Bristol Motor Speedway that saw a fiery crash involving Sterling Marlin, and saw Rusty Wallace get one of his nine Bristol wins. April 14th is the 26th anniversary of Rusty's third win at the track.
I make this same comment on all of these old races. This has got to be the best announcing team I've ever heard for any sport. Ned Jarrett and Benny Parsons are just perfect for this. Both of them so knowledgeable and so classy. Bob Jenkins is fantastic at keeping the viewer updated to the race but always subordinates himself to the more knowledgeable members. It's a wonderful dynamic they all had
B.P.has always been my favourite 🤗
I've always felt this way as well. Well said. This broadcast booth team (along with Dr. Punch on pit road) will always be the best to me.
Bob Jenkins’s death was announced today while I was watching this. RIP, he was truly one of the best commentators NASCAR had
That’s a shocker to he was only 73 and now all these commentators from WSC nascar are all gone now. Also all the drivers in this generational are no longer racing.
Yes!! keep doing retro uploads!
Here after the 54 lead changes from Sunday's nutty spring Bristol race. This race was referenced for the previous high of 40 lead changes, and there were a lot of similarities between these two races. Odd (and thankfully short-lived) pitting rules, track surfacing issues, and unpredictable weather. Folks forget that Bristol was having track surface issues in 1990 and 1991, and that ultimately led to the installation of concrete for 1992.
Same reason I’m here… my family was too poor to have cable or satellite back then so me an my dad probably listened to this race on the radio
I miss that Kodak car ...I got into racing as a kid because of that car my dad worked at Kodak for like 35 years
Wow I can't believe how much different the track looks compared to now
this was before it was paved in concrete in fall 1992
no playoffs, no stage racing, just motor racing...ah, those really were the days
Bryon Kidder yes lol and those penalties were brutal lol
@@bryonkidder6199 yeah, that kinda sucked. but still...
@@jamesgentry13 I don't even remember writing this...What a nostalgic ass I was back then. I've changed my tune a bit, I embrace the new along with the old. But yes, not many cars on the lead lap back then.
Nothing at all wrong with nostalgia, as long as you don't let it cloud your view of the present. Times change, for the better or worse. I love 1990s and 2000s NASCAR as much as the next fan of that age, but I also still enjoy it, today.@@SwineBrothers
Dang I miss the Speedworld intro.
Give us more of the '91 season, NASCAR! That was the first season I got to catch a lot of races.
Love the classic races. Please keep them coming
Thanks for the video I worked 7 days a week in 1991 and missed most races that year. Ernie and Davie was under the impression that bump drafting was necessary at Bristol. I'm glad nether won the race. Rusty Wallace was a clean racer and he won that race because he earned it.Those were the good old days for sure.
Rusty didn't always race clean. There was a few times he caused other racers to crash.
Rusty Wallace was not a clean racer. He and Dale got into it frequently and I remember him getting into it with Waltrip and Rudd, too, among others.
Man I love the Lumina NASCARs they just look awesome.. oh and the T-birds!
Yes I agree. I don’t understand why Dodge wasn’t in Nascar during the 80’s & 90’s with Dodge/Plymouth dominating back in the 50’s,60’s & 70’s with especially Richard Petty where 191 of his 200 wins were in a dodge or Plymouth.
Yeah, they could've used the avenger
1:01:37 The Bandit coming at you in that mean-looking Skoal Cutty. Now that's a sight I miss from NASCAR.
Thank you very much for this upload. Please post more 80s and 90s races
Got to love Dale taking a shot at Nascar there. "They won't do nothing."
Yet just a few laps after he rejoined and the field caught him, he and Lake Speed badly held up Rusty Wallace which caused a traffic jam that saw a lot of damage to Rick Mast's Oldsmobile when he spun Ken Schrader.
But then, that's Bristol isn't it. There wasn't really anywhere Earnhardt and Speed could go. And technically they were doing the right thing staying low and trying to let everyone else go by on the outside. However, Rusty had decided to try and pass low when in reality he should have gone high which is really what triggered the whole episode. No one was really at fault, its just what happens on a short track with the leaders coming up on slow traffic.
Earnhardt always the self serving hypocrite
ESPN had by far the best Music!
Love the cars without the stupid side skirts, they really took away the last bit of "stock" car
i wish theyd give a ride height rule and take the skirts away, and take the splitter off and go back to valance, thats it
Yeah, while ground effect is great for road racing, for stock cars it takes away from the racing
Legend has it, they're still trying to figure out the running order to this day
So this was the spring Bristol race in 91. Alan Kulwicki has just secured the Hooters sponsorship on the 7 car and would win the Winston Cup in 92. Immediately before the spring Bristol race in 93 -roughly two years from this broadcast- he would be taken from us. RIP Alan...
miss these days of NASCAR cool looking cars and good drivers
I love how old fans complain about the rules nowadays but seemingly ignore the whack stuff NASCAR tried 15+ years ago. And this isn't even the first example of weird pit rules.
They had these pit rules because a guy had just gotten killed in the pits in 1990, and there were a couple of other incidents that same season where pit crew members had gotten badly injured. There was also still no pit road speed limit. NASCAR was still in the process at this time of trying to figure out how to make pit road safer. People bitch about the pit road speeding penalties; apparently they are okay with guys getting hurt and killed in the pits.
Cool opening with "True Colours" I wish there was a way we could access all of these old opening teases from '85-'94. I loved them and a lot of times other uploaders don't include them. So many I'd like to have on a playlist...

I wish when nascar uploaded, they wouldn;t put the race winner in the description.
WIESNERX0042 Never read the description until the end of any post. It's for the end.
Cool. You uploaded a throwback race nice!
Kinda wish you hadn't posted the winner in the description. I wonder how many of us remember who won this race 25 years ago. But thanks for the upload anyway.
A lot less stands during this era, they really did a lot of work to this venue.
kept adding and adding. thru the mid 90's it was near impossible to get seats. now the reverse is the norm.
Asphalt at Bristol. I was at this race as a teenager. Every change that has been made from concrete to this dirt crap now will never be what it was
Lol DEs at 23:00 love the guy!!! Miss you Dale!
2:39:50 Good to see this BBQ place is still around to this day!
I loved this mini series! definitely miss it and Benny Parsons himself.
RIP Benny!!
If NASCAR keeps "right-sizing" Bristol's gonna look like that again pretty soon
Bristol lost part of it's soul when they closed it in. I loved it when you could see "Thunder Valley"! Sure, now it's "impressive" but it's proven to be too much. If nothing else horseshoe it with about 125k seats. The open end would provide some cool views.....
Irvan really gave Rusty all he could handle...but that means Rusty COULD handle it. Great finish!
Reverse of the fall 1990 finish.
The top ten in the. Starting grid looks like an all star race and that doesn’t include Irvin, Elliot, labonte and others.........truly the heyday of nascar!
Damn what a finish!
Fantastic upload. Thanks NASCAR.
Pretty sure they posted this to make a subtle point about "wow everyone bitchin' about rule changes like we havent done them forever" in reference to the even/odd car pitting.
However this rule change is understandable as it was in response to safety concerns following the death of a crew member from Bill Elliott's team in 1990, Mike Rich. And this rule change has a minimal impact on competition unless you spin out on pit road, which doesn't happen very often in the first place.
Brenden Lauer yes but keep in mind that was the 2nd or 3rd pit road rule change of the year and they had more before they came up with the pit road speed limit
Yes a retro upload!!!
The level of mullet on sterlings crew guy is legendary
I'm a Rusty Wallace fan, but boy did he benefit from that late race odd-even restart after the rain. Basically went from 7th to 1st without passing another car simply because he happened to be the first in line of the odd cars and got to go to the restart basically on pole position. Under normal circumstances he would have been 7th (and last) in line on the outside with all the lapped cars on the inside, so essentially he would have been 14th on the restart grid. Instead he lined up in first place and won the race.
Failed to Qualify: 71-Dave Marcis, 70-JD McDuffie, & 52-Jimmy Means.
This was the time of Buffet Benny just wondering if anyone recalls the the time of the Golden Benny 🤔🤗❤🤗

I'm still looking for the 2011 Talladega fall race. It's on RUclips but not in good quality
Love that Pontiac look!
stupid story about this race, I was at my grandfathers watching it, (we didn't have cable) and it was under rain delay and I think Rusty Wallace was down 2 laps and had just made them up and I just figured the race was over and it wouldn't restart, it was literally pouring down rain but they didn't show it in this video. I left and went home, well the next day I pick up the paper and found that Rusty won the race, and I never really knew how he managed to do it but it looks like the stupid pit rules for this race really helped him out once the race got going again
I’m surprised Ernie Irvan didn’t win this race also. He’s done so good since Daytona and not being in any accidents etc. After Darrell Waltrip wanted to kick him out of the league. When he was the one who nearly ended Davy Allison life What a hypocrite.
Look at those cars dance around! These in-car camera views are almost scary. Current cars are rock solid compared to this. NASCAR, please continue to upload high-quality retro races, but I don't think they should be in the 2017 Full Race playlist. Perhaps "NASCAR Classic."
2:14:25 Wow...Davey just dumped DW!
2:39:42 Buffet Benny!
Man. You could make a video about how insane the pitting rules were for this race.
40 leadchanges at BRISTOL
What a race...what a driver!
1:50:02 now there's a car owner. junior johnson helping the crew get the right side of the car up.
What was that yellow light that would come on every once in a while on the Kodak #4 car?
23:17 - Dale Earnhardt, brief and to the point and if a driver spoke like that during a race now, well, you can figure how the officials may respond.
If anyone would say that, they would be considered "crying" or "whining", but since it was Earnhardt, none of the announcers or his fans would say so. If Bobby Allison was still racing at this point, he would have said it. Gotta miss the days when the older guys made fun of Earnhardt, ie: Iron Head, his first nickname.
Keep uploading the classic NASCAR races; but, please don't do what I think you are going to do by bringing back the stupid odd and even pit rule.
More of these!!!
the cars sound better back then they do now
1st win with Penske for Rusty Wallace
Spoiler right in the description.
wouldn't be an official nascar upload without spoilers
tried to enter the right guard half way challenge...said i have to call from a "land line"...what in the hell is that?
Back when NASCAR was real. I miss this.
What's the yellow light for flashing on Irvan's dash?
Tach?
the last time the Bristol's spring race didn't have the company Food City attached to it
Failed to qualify
#52 Jimmy Means
#70 J.D McDuffe
#71 Dave Marcis
When cars could bump a bit and not cause a catastrophic tire rub
Thank goodness they got rid of the pit and restart system.
They cut out the red flag footage in which Darrell & Davey had a confrontation after their on-track contact.
If there was a Stupid NASCAR rule list .
it would include the Odd/Even position pit rule... I'm just glad that...
1. I was a bit young to try to understand that...(Later in life, it's a headache to figure out...)
2. they changed it to just speed limits based on track size (35-55 mph.)
Love seeing these old races. This was real NASCAR not that garbage we see today. Rusty is still the man!
What has gotten into NASCAR? Posting classic races like indycar
They've seen how many views some illegal retro uploads get and they want to join the fun!
8:35 race start
damn nascar keeps posting stuff like this and people gonna realize how much their current product sucks donkey nuts.
(dmetl) #55 - wow ... before it even getz to 5 minute of tick tocks on the clock you can hear some fine gentleman exclaim those adageous words ... gentleman ... start your engines
The cars were analog, the stands were full, and only douchebags in German cars talked on cellphones and drove at the same time. Yes, those were the Good Ol' Days!
They did not call him king of short tracks for a reson
lol at the rules they had for this week.
the restart rules??? why does nascar have this need to reinvent the wheel instead of tweaking and tuning thnigs?
Yay for retro Nascar, but fullscreen please.
Rusty Wallace the bird won this race
I miss real racing
Love the old races and Bristol in the day was the GREATEST but please STOP telling who WON the race even if you were there you were probably to ripped to know who won........THX!!!!
