- 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.
[in a tone of amazement] My Goodness! What a remarkable surviving heritage piece of NASCAR history! And the video quality of this presentation is exceptional for being as old as it is.
A bit of background about this telecast:
ABC-TV recorded this Sunday race on video tape, condensed the contents of the race, and then aired it on the following Saturday's "ABC Wide World of Sports" at 5 PM local time.
Wide World of Sports was a 90 minute anthology TV series of various sporting events; which combined various sports in the 90 minutes telecast; such as in this telecast the Daytona 500 shared airtime with a sled-dog race in New Hampshire.
Back in the 1960s, mainstream media [of newspapers, radio, TV news/sports] rarely reported the Sunday race results [the one annual race event that got reported on was the Indy 500]. So, many times the Wide World of Sports telecasts of auto races, even being six days after-the-fact, those races had the suspense of the events being live.
ABC-TV recorded the races from Daytona in black & white video until it went to color film, which may have been for the 1969 race.
Specialized automotive print publications would report on the races, albeit a month or two later, with the exception of Autoweek.
You are in the know and you're keeping the rest of US in the know! Thank you for this 411!!
Real Men ! Real Hero,s ! Real Cars ! Real Racing ! I miss the good ole days of Nascar !
All sports have a heyday and this was definitely part of stock car racings hey day.... I loved David Pearson but I am discovering Fred lorenzin
AND HIGH OCTANE GASOLINE!👍🏽🫵🏽
The Fastback Fords were incredible race cars. Ford knew what it was doing when it introduced the 63&1/2 Fastback roofline!
"A half a million dollars of brand new automobiles..." thats like....a couple cars today.
Says a current nascar is $125,000 to $400,000. Lol. Wild
🏁Love the vintage footage!!!!!!!!!🏁
One of the all time great results! Great cars, love real stock car racing! Very cool shots of the track, and amazing to see it in only the fifth running of the 500. Great stuff.

Amusement @18:00 Let's go to the sled dog race

These top-flight NASCAR guys were still gutting out showroom models and converting them over to racing cars at this point. Fast forward 60-plus years and the local weekly racer isn't even doing that anymore.
Epic race . One of the best ones ever
This is double the content of the original release of ABC footage on CZcams. It even includes some raw footage with no audio. I've always wondered how much of the broadcast was done with "live " audio recorded as the race was run and how much was voiced over.
NBC footage of the 1964 world 600 is lost.
The only remaining footage of it is the surviving footage was of Fireball Robert’s fatal crash.
Only race ive ever seen where all hoods went up during pit stops. More OIL, please
1963
1. CBS Evening News premieres with Walter Cronkite as its first anchor, as the CBS weeknight newscast expands from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. The Huntley-Brinkley Report expanded its weeknight newscast from 15 minutes to 30 minutes on NBC. ABC, CBS, and NBC expanded their weeknight newscasts from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. 2. The Dick Van Dyke Show in its 3rd season during the 1963-1964 season on CBS. General Hospital premieres on ABC as a daytime soap opera. 3. The Beverly Hillbillies in its 2nd season during the 1963-1964 season on CBS. Johnny Cash had two singles on the country charts, "Ring of Fire", and "The Matador". Bobby Bare had a hit on the country charts with "500 Miles Away from Home".
👍
Back when there actually was "freedom". A dying word. Such a shame.
Walter Cronkite actually was the second. Douglas Edwards was the first CBS Evening News anchor.
"Dick Petty"
Wow, only a handful of years later, calling the King that would be considered heresey.
My dads name was Richard King
I saw a comment elsewhere, that said after one race where they called him Dick, his mother went up to the broadcast booth and said “his name is Richard, don’t call him Dick again.” And they never called him that again. Thanks Mom 😅
Oh yeah. But hey a 'dick' is part of a man. I see no issue. The ultimate "man" name if there ever was one!
Real Racing,Who woulda thunk it?
Love the rear end of the Fords the tailights look like Jet Thrusters
half a million dollars worth of cars ! today that wouldnt even buy a shop
I really wanted to see the sled dog race
Jim McKay covering a sled dog race in Maine? I wonder if he considered it a high point in his career up to that point.
Are you kidding me..."may contain imagery that could be offensive". Give me a break. A world of disclaimers.
Well said.
What I consider offensive are smug race card drivers wasting three letter agency's time for a garage pull and then still being mouthy when it was confirmed to be a garage pull.
@@sergioleone3583 Yep. It's nothing more than organizations, that won't let it die, in order to justify revenue, and their pathetic existence.
When racing took both balls. Lol. If this race would happen today there would be so many violations i think they would just cancel the race.
Cool watching those early 427 fast back long tail fords smoke em comeing out of the pits while all the others fell apart.
Really, cause none of the other makes made enuff power to "smoke" the tires? OK
Ford's suck!😆🫵🏽👍🏽
I didn't know Tiny was married before Wanda

Great speedway.
But never understood why it was called International
Maybe 'cuz it's adjacent to Daytona Beach International Airport?🤔
Windows rolled up.
Dick Petty huh?!
