Earlier in the race, a funny car or too fueler exploded a clutch at 1000’ and lit the grass on fire. You can see the burned spots in some of the video. Connie Kalitta exploded in a huge fireball on the starting line in 2nd round of T/F. You could feel it at the finish line. Pro Stock final...Lee Shepherd lit the red bulb, handing the win to Iaconio. The next night in Budd’s Creek, MD, Shepherd won over Iaconio in the final at the US Pro Stock Open.
Lmao at 7:42 he says someday force would like to win a fraction of the wins Prudhomme has.. 2021 update win total Don Prudhomme (49) T/F & F/C John Force (152). [ yes I am completely aware that Prudhomme retired in '94]

Don Coonce was not driving a Camaro as the announcer stated. This car was a Firebird.
