- The race you are about to see appear as originally broadcast and may contain imagery that is offensive and doesn't align with NASCAR's values. NASCAR has since permanently banned the display of the confederate flag at all events.
When announcer Bill Fleming spoke about the rate of attrition in this race, I checked with the racing reference website that does well with documenting the issues that caused the cars to drop out. The list of problems are those that are nearly unheard of in modern day NASCAR.
Those issues in the 1965 Daytona 500:
Crankshaft
Rocker arm
Distributor
Transmission
Clutch
Overheating
Fuel pump
Oil pressure
Handling
Piston
So was the fate with the high failure rates of those cars of that bygone racing era, where the vehicles were nearly _stock,_ when compared to the purpose built and refinely equipped NASCAR racers of today.
And quite a number of those that dropped out early (14 cars completed six or fewer laps) were what today are known as "start-and-parks", cars that started the race just to get the purse money for finishing at or near the bottom of the finishing order, but who's teams had no real intention of racing. Back then, the Daytona 500 field usually held 50 cars, but only 43 lined up for this race, and a number of those were rebuilt cars, as there had been a massive 13-car crash at the end of the first lap of one of the qualifying races, which back then, were held just two days prior to the 500 itself. You can tell by how far back some of the cars lagged back at the start that they had no intention of racing. Of the cars that made past the 15th lap, only five failed to make it to when the race was called due to rain.
You've just GOTTA post the ABC Sports telecast of the 1962 Daytona 500 which, I believe, was the first Daytona 500 ever covered by ABC. :) :) :) :)
Enjoyed!! 🏁🏁
They were Gentlemen back then!
Dan Gurney was absolutely electric behind the mic, wunnhe?
I wasn't born until 85, I didn't start watching Racing until End of 01, They didn't have the Big Jet Dryers they have today right? If not, How did they Dry the Track? Just let it wait till the Sunshine comes back out and see how much Daylight? When did the Jet Dryers come out?
Hey nascar idk if your gonna comment on this but do you have any footage of the Elliot Sandler pocono crash and his flip in 2000 with a good angles
Lost Media
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT guess I will have to join the lost media wiki also hi ianperez
@@NASCARFAN03 hello!
Also, you can’t find it because NASCAR won’t show it publicly. What happened was that Elliott got so much air, it was over the length of the catchfence before he flipped
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT oh thanks for the info
@@NASCARFAN03 you’re welcome!
