If my beloved 43 car couldn't Win, then was alway's cool to see Ol' Benny take the 🏁🏆🎉 Hey, how bout a very young Rooster & Awesome Bill in this race & Rudd sport'n Smokey Yunick's famous 22 car paint job driven to fame by The Great Fireball Roberts! Very cool! 😃!!
Great video, I miss those days of racing, I was only a kid at the time but I was lucky enough to have parents that drove us down from Canada to see a bunch of these races.
AJ Foyt !!! Them were the days............... thank you so much for posting this race, and don't worry about what folks are saying about the video quality, it's fine - certainly better than nothing !! Cheers..............
Benny Parsons was one of the best of his generation. He won the Winston Cup Championship in 1973 and was a Daytona 500 winner. A classy dude. Benny, Ned Jarrett and "Bob Jennings" (not sure if that's right) were the best broadcast team ever IMO. RIP Benny -- left us way to early
Maybe 76 plus - lol - forever a fan of the man - any old race posted he's in prior 79' - I try to put the result and time you can see the car - thanks for commenting
Awesome. Gotta love Waltrip's hair........ Bill Elliott competitive in the 1970s, long before he started winning though. A young Neil Bonnett won his first 2 Cup races that year.
I wish they got Al Michaels in the booth for #ThrowbackWeekend for Darlington but I doubt it because of football. Would be a neat tie-in though to the Wide World of Sports days.

@@STP43FAN1 not actually. It was painted like one of theirs but that was the same car he ran in 1975 and 1976, reskinned. It was purchased in 1974 from Bobby Allison and was an old #12 Coca Cola Chevy.
Some body needs to digitize these races frame by frame. This is the sound of NASCAR, not what we have today.
“There’s Dale Inman one of the most respected crew chiefs in the business.” Graphic under him says DALE EDMOND. 😆 Oh well, they were learning.
Cale was my guy. Hard charger! I was ten when I met him at Bristol. He drove the Holly Farms #11!

Dale Earnhardt #19. Man was something special even back then
I never knew Al Michaels did Nascar, Classic vintage stuff right here.
Right! AM was a little out of place doing a NASCAR race, but I thought he did a great job 💪
He also did the Monaco GP (F1) from 1980-1986
He did Pro bowling as well filling in for Chris Schenkel

Bob Jenkins it was. They were indeed the best.
Benny was just good people all around.
Dale Earnhardt Sr - 4th cup race - started 36th- finished 38th - #19 Chevrolet
Didn't that guy end up winning a race or two? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

The first Bigfoot just bit the dust, Allison! Sometimes you make your own luck.....

R.I.P. Bruce Hill.... Miss you buddy!
That was one of DiGard’s old cars Bruce was driving.

great video
Belated Congrats Benny.
One of the coolest cars besides the '74 charger was the LeMans!
I wish I could see it.
Janet Guthrie finished 9th. Tom Sneva dropped out of the race and almost passed out during the interview with Chris Economaki.
Back in the "good ol' days" when NASCAR actually ran "stock" cars.
Is that a young Al Michaels I'm hearing???
Yes it is.
I guess u missed the intro. He was never young though.
Chissy I didn't know u liked racing !
no mention of Janet Guthrie ... no way to treat a lady who came up from starting 27th and finished 9th
Bill Elliott brings a Mercury home in 10th! :-D
Bill was a master at finishing races - keeping his nose clean and getting good results
Looooooooong before he started winning, but it's cool to see him competitive in the 70s
They was in his back door
My first car was a 77 Malibu and it couldn't spin it's tires.
What did you expect? It's a Chevy.
So that’s what Bruton Smith looked like when he was somewhat younger?
Petty crew chief is Inman not Edmond, lol
17:44 Tom Sneva interview
The gasman was wore out
