Thank you for all your races you put on the Tube. I watch so many of them. I've seen most of them before but it was so long ago I only remember the fire and who won the race. Thanks again so much!😎
The incident on pit road involving Richard Petty led NASCAR to new rules regarding crew member fire protection & a redesign of the gas cans. Also, pit road reporters would be required to wear fire protected suits This race also marks the end of RIchard Petty's consecutive starts streak at 513 as he failed to qualify for the next race. His record would stand until 1996 when it was broken by Terry Labonte
Callicutt’s injuries haunted Richard a lot more than people realized even then. His heart wasn’t into it but he kept going because he didn’t feel he could afford to stop.
@@coreypayne7470 Jerry Punch, being a medical doctor demanded it happen...This carried over to NBC when they started covering NASCAR in 1999 AMAZINGLY, Fox Sports has never required it's pit reporters the wear firesuits
1:41:15. This is what spurred the rule closing put road when the caution comes out. That rule wound up causing more pit crashes and is still there even though it shouldn’t be.
I'm not sure it was quite that many, but it was quite a few. Actually, not only was that not uncommon for there to be quite a number of engine problems in 500 mile races back then, but it was actually more the rule rather than the exception. A few years earlier, about 12-14 cars in the 1985 Daytona 500 suffered some kind of engine malady (and Richard Petty had a fire on a pit stop in that race, as well), and there was a substantial amount of engine problems the year before. And in the 1976 Daytona 500, no fewer than 15 cars fell out due to engine-related problems, and others were just trying to get to the finish. 500 mile races back then was about simply getting to the finish as much as it was about how hard the drivers raced.
One of the reasons for that high engine failure rate during the '85 Daytona 500 was everybody had their race motors in and could not keep up the early pace Bill Elliott had set which was at a time, above Buddy Baker's race record speed in 1980
47:07 It’s crazy to think a year later at this same track Ricky Rudd would spin on pit road just like Elliott did and kill one of Elliott’s crewmembers.
He did it for years on ABC & ESPN for decades. It wasn't until he made so many mistakes, calling drivers by the wrong name, being completely wrong about racing situations etc. I thought it's about time but it took to the mid 2000's and the million mistakes he made calling the Brickyard 400 before they pulled the plug on him.
@@michaelhazen3153he never called the brickyard 400 nor did he make many mistakes. You confusing him for Marty Reid??? You’re disrespecting a legend in auto racing commentating.

1:05:37 Bobby Unser perfectly describes aero-push, 25 years before the term joined the NASCAR lexicon
Those idiot NASCAR guys didn’t understand anything about anything back then, just pedal to the floor and pull it to the left noumsayin
2:55:11 Wow 😲
After this ESPN/ABC pit reporters would be required to wear fire suits

What cause the fire? Static?

AKA - the DBU (Dun Blowed Up) 500.
i think well over a dozen cars blew engines in this race.

Clean air and fresh tires. No excuses. Tide. Cleaning up the competition.

Wow Dale Jarrett looked a lot like terry labonte and his 28 car looked a lot like the 11 car during the starting lineup coverage.
How does one obtain raw satellite feed? I love watching these.

Why is Paul Page commentating on a NASCAR race?

The tide crew took the 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁for the race
Do you happen to have the 1988 and/or 1990 "Atlanta 500s"? Those are both currently not on YT.
