    I love how many veteran broadcasters are involved back in these early 80s races - guys like Bob Jenkins, Mike Joy, Dick Berggren, Al Michaels, Ken Squier of course, I'm sure Rick Benjamin was on the call for the 1982 Pocono 500 recently uploaded? So cool to not only to see the legendary drivers but also hear the legendary announcers 😊

      The commentators paint the picture. These guys helped build NASCAR into what it became when I was a kid in the 90s and it was starting to explode. They'll always be remembered

    Races back then: 500 miles/492 laps, this means halfway would've been 246 laps. In the mid-90s they were reduced to 400 miles/393 laps.

    Hey NASCAR. I didn’t see any imagery that offended me on this video. I miss the good ole days.

      Ahh you mean the "good ole days" when conservative weren't told to be constantly outraged over a new boogyman each week? Yeah I miss those days too. I wish they'd all get off X and Facebook and do something with their pathetic lives.

    I've wondered this for years now ever since I first saw this on ESPN Classic back about 25 years ago, does the broadcast of the first 143 laps before the rain showed up just not exist anymore?

    • @HeyItsAJOmega
      @HeyItsAJOmega Месяц назад +2

      If the broadcasts were on tape or film, it might well have been destroyed or lost. Lots of old BBC TV shows ended up getting destroyed in the 1970s simply through a lack of storage space for all the old reels/tapes!

      @@HeyItsAJOmega As a classic tv and movie fan, I'm sadly all too aware of all the sad stories like ABC disposing of the DuMont Television Network's kinescopes and videotapes in the East River in the dead of night in the 1970's to make more room in their storage facility.

      @@kharnthebetrayer1575 It's certainly not present these days. There's an upload that at first glance appears to possibly be it, but it's actually the Fall race named the Walter W. Hodgdon American 500 rather than the Carolina 500 from the spring (the upload is incorrectly titled the "Walter W. Hodgdon Carolina 500").

      Yes it was. Most of Richard's wins were on CBS. You can account the Wild World of Sports entries as well which were snippets of races but outside of this most of them were on CBS!
