Tiny Lund wins the 5th running of the Daytona 500 held on February 24, 1963. After Marvin Panch was involved in a fiery wreck in a sports car race two weeks before the 500, Tiny Lund (a behemoth of a man weighing nearly 300 pounds and standing 6'6") jumps into action and pulled the driver from his burning car. Panch, still recovering from his injuries, convince the Wood Brothers to run Lund in the 500 where he would go on to beat Fred Lorenzen by 24 seconds.

I was a lonely Ford man in HS when I listened to this on the Radio. It was the start of a great run for Ford in the 60s. A great win for Tiny.
It never ceases to amaze me what talent and bravery these pioneer drivers and teams had. 160+ in (nearly) STOCK cars virtually without any aero. Freaking awesome! Long live big-block V-8's!
I'm sorry to have to say this but I sincerely would rather watch these old races on film as I would watch them live on television! I've been following NASCAR since 1969 just not the same anymore it's sad... Thank you for what you do! 🤪😁
☑️ Yeah, and maybe it's time for organizations like NASCAR & NHRA to get back to showcasing stock-ish cars in racing, like they used to. Why the hell not? It should be a no-brainer now that American car manufacturers have FINALLY gotten back to producing performance cars, which handle better than the muscle cars of the 60s.

☑️ Same with the NHRA's Pro Stock class. It used to be based on production cars and engines, and it was very popular from the beginning. But then the mid 70s rolled around, and factory produced performance cars basically vanished. As a result, Pro Stock became just another class of ultra-expensive, special purpose race cars, all of which use the same 500ci race-only DRCE engine, which is just an aftermarket big block Chevy that costs $50,000 or so.
That means ALL Pro Stock cars are powered by big block Chevy engines now. You need brand partisanship to create passion for the competition. But having everyone run the same big block Chevy engine kind of saps the class of brand passion. Couldn't they have at least allowed Ford performance and Mopar to develop THEIR OWN 500ci big block race engines?
They need to utilize the current class of big 3 sports cars and engines to create a NEW Pro Stock class, that is based around the REAL Camaro, Mustang and Challenger/Charger models, each using equal sized versions of the modern Ford, Chevy and Mopar engines!
If you didn't want to use the small cubic inch Ford modular motor, then use a modified pushrod Godzilla motor.
Did have a valves overhead Camper fires 🔥
@@HighlanderNorth1 But the 60s car's look a 1000 times better than a egg like today's ugly cars
I was 10 years old in ‘63; Tiny Lund remain ms to be my hero to this day.
@1:59 that old school fly by shot is awesome
also @ 2:30
Tiny Lund , a true hero.
Living in the northeast as a kid, my only exposure to NASCAR racing was the Wide World of Sports. Only one fellow student (we were in the fifth grade) followed along. Today's NASCAR is a giant, big money snooze fest compared to the days of real-stock-cars. What a shame.
Real steel cars bad ass
Nice bit of karma there for Tiny. Save a life, win a race. What a weekend!
That was the most tire smoke I've ever seen coming out of the pits!
Nice car's unlike the egg shaped plastic car's from the 90s to today
Those were the days. Golden days of Real Stock car racing.
Golden days of America. Peaked in 1970.
@@paulross9287 Yep 200 mph in steel car's much harder to drive than the crap nowadays
Tiny Lund's 1st Career NASCAR Grand National Victory

What engine was in those Fords?
What’s not to like ha. 🏁
Boy!!!!! at the end of this race Those Chevies were FAST!!!!!!! No wait,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, As usual. THEY SUCKED!!!!!!!!!
1963 Pontiac showed up with the same engine as the 1962. Plymouth brought the 426 Wedge for the first time, Ford the 427 FE and Chevy the 427 "mystery motor". Out of the box - the Chevy had the best potential (due in part to the canted valve head design) - but GM decided to get out of racing so only 50 of NASCAR 427s got built for 1963 - and they were not fully sorted - leading to Junior Johnson and other Chevy failures. The Chevy guys ended up having to largely switch to other makes with no GM factory support during the 63 season. Ford's 427 was not quite as stout as the Chevy 427 - but it was lighter and reliable - winning the 500 and bunch of races in 1963. Mopar had enough of getting its teeth kicked in with Wedge head big blocks - so for 1964 the Hemi 426 was developed. Ford did alot of development work on the 427 FE to keep close to the Hemi over the rest of the 60s (but being lighter was always its biggest edge). The 429 Boss was introduced in 1969 - and finally meet the 426 Hemi on equal terms on the big tracks.
@@jimbosc The chevy engine for 1963 was illegal because it was not a production engine. The FE fords were available production engines. The fords WON !!!! After 500 miles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 !!!!!!!!!! 4 63 galaxies one 62!!! Chevies would NOT be heard from for the REST of the decade.With in a year. Junior Johnson would be in a FORD!!!
@@eugeneschulte4950 Like usual over the years Chevy was heard again. Crying into the ears of NASCAR about everything that everyone else was doing. Even though they were out of racing... NASCAR always has and always will cater to GM...
First year of the Ford 427. The rest is history.
saw the race as a 20 year old...nascar gave it all away when it allowed the networks to take control of their sport.
I can`t belive that Fireball Roberts Won his triple pole but can he keep that strike alive?
Can we please get back to this REAL racing! This crap today is all BS, fake an just flat out stupid. Get back to racing cars that actual people drive an work on. None of this commercialized rich man's game. My two cents
2:26 is the original 2 car tango...
1:38 Boogity Boogity Boogity! Let's go racing, boys!
