I remember being hopeful for Roy Smith as he was from my hometown Victoria ,B.C.
I really really love these old nascar racing a whole whole lot and I remember watching these old nascar racing
It's when Nascar was NASCAR
A decade later, Davey would make it to Victory Lane in the same race.
1982. One of my favourite Daytona 500 of all time apart from many others.
It was funny when they had the drivers name and number on the inside of the car. Probably because adding text on an live feed was so challenging.
God bless NASCAR WITHOUT MEASURE AMEN 9/27/21
The 82 Thunderbird was a box but a very good looking box.
The complete bumpergate story is told in Tom Higgins' great book Daytona. The full conspiracy theory is that they intentionally misplaced the bumper, knowing nascar would make them move it. Then when nascar did make them move it, the only welder they could "find" was a spot welder, which they used to reposition the bumper while gazaway watched and approved. They knew the spot welded bumper would come off with even light contacnd. And if anyone protested, they had themselves covered, cause nascar's top official had approved the the newly placed bumper after watching them do it.The good ol double bluff.
All true, but if that bumper had hurt, or killed any driver, or bounced over the fence & hurt, or killed a fan they may have black flagged Bobby & strung Gary Nelson up in the garage! ☠️
wow dale had 2 and 15 as numbers for his car in the early years
Bobby & Gary Nelson (especially Gary Nelson) were so damned lucky that bumper didn't hurt (or kill) anyone. If it had, the folks in the garage may have had a REAL NOOSE waiting for Gary after the race! ☠️
Just had to do the noose comment didn't you? I'm guessing you have a blowup doll of Trump in your bedroom.
Harry Gant's #33 sounds like it is running a flat-plane crankshaft. It sounds like his car isn't the only one either. Did NASCAR allow such a thing back then?
180 degree headers there’s lots of videos of their unique sound here on youtube
Back when Daytona 500 qualifying was predictable and not the crapshoot that it is now.....
Also the first Daytona 500 to open the season points-wise. The races at the long closed Riverside and the Daytona Shootout used to count for points until after 1981.
Bobby didn't deserve this win. Joe did.
Bobby Allison's team should have been forced to bring that car in and reattach the bumper. That bumper fell off deliberately and NASCAR new it. He wasn't hit or bumped into.

Cant penalize someone for doing something you approved.
Nascar approved the bumper and the weld so why are you whining .have to be a Earnhardt fan to be that dam whiney
Few things weirder looking than dale Earnhardt in a ford. Like seeing larry bird in a Lakers jersey.
I miss these days!
I don't, this was the worst decade ever 😡
Me too. I watched this race with my mama. Ill never forget it. I was a Bobby Allison fan and 8 years old at the time. Shes gone now. But I still watch this race from time to time...
@@unknown0508 80s were the best decade ever
Yra they didn't even have HDTV back then and people smoked cigarettes everywhere too and it stank bc the cars would spew toxic gasses into the air. People went to prison for Marijuana.
Oh and we had reganomics which devastated the lower middle class and set up the Uber corporate environment we live in today where corporations have more power and money than whole nations and holding vast amounts of personsl data, everything from your shopping habits, to who you vote for come election time.
Hit in the rear bumper, right.......
Sounds like V6 engines or were they running the X exhaust system like they ran in the late 90s and early 2000s at the plate races?
Running V8s so it was probably the exhaust
At the time some cars were using what are known as 180 Degree headers. They change the order in which the exhaust pulses exit the pipes, resulting in the V8's sounding like a pair of 4 cylinders running together. In NASCAR at this time, the pipes usually crossed under the oil pan to hook up to the collectors. Look up 180 degree headers on youtube for more examples of their unique sound.
Rusty Wallace with the Afro...
Hayden ... Good morning !!! All right ? My name is Claudio and I live in Brazil ... I need to ask a question !!! I have been running Nascar races since 1980 and noticed that you have a race listing. But some of these videos that were in my folders were placed as "private" and I can no longer see !!! Do you happen to remember the name of the person responsible for the channel of these videos that are "private"? It will complicate all my research if I no longer have access ... Thank you very much !!!

The channel is racefan84.
Bumpergate
That should have been Cale's win, though, I like seeing Bobby win too.
Why should that have been Cale's win? He could not run with Bobby.
The Buicks had V6 engines?

@@TheRyGuyRy I'm familiar. I'm just making a joke about the distinctive sound.
@@rcoveyduc It does sound pretty silly doesn't it? Thundering V-8's and then the one "angry hornet" coming around.
@@TheRyGuyRy good way to put it. :)
I have to agree: the cars sounded like shit.
