Bobby Allison becomes the 3rd man to repeat at Daytona (Richard Petty 64 & 66, Cale Yarborough 68 & 77, Bobby Allison 78 & 82). Early in the race Bobby Allison's bumper flew off his Buick causing a 3-car pileup. The bumper had to be rewelded onto the frame after NASCAR officials found it to be lower then stock during an inspection. Opposing teams began to question whether the bumper was left loose intentionally as the missing bumper gave Bobby a competitive advantage allowing air to flow more freely underneath the car and reducing the drag. Regardless of the bumper controversy, Bobby had a fast car and for the second year in a row led the most laps leading 147 circuits. This was the first time the Great American race kicked off the NASCAR season and has remained the inaugural points paying race ever since.

I was in Daytona in 82, but not for the race. I lived there but could never afford to go to the races. But you could certainly here the race from a ways away. Those were good days.
In 1998 I asked Bobby Allison about the rear bumper coming off; he smiled slyly and said “ I would never do anything like that “. Wink wink.
1982. One of my favourite Daytona 500 of all time apart from many others.
Lee Petty has the best interview ever. He kills me with, he’ll be able to plow tomorrow.
The Dale Jr. Download brought me here.
These mid-sized, boxy models during this time were not the easiest thing for drivers that had enjoyed a decade of full-sized, aerodynamic, evenly weighted machines to get used to... Because there was so much drag involved, drafting became a chore, and the newer cars consumed more fuel than before... Many drivers crossed the finish line on mere fumes...
Especially when NASCAR increased the schedule. Those box types couldn’t handle it.
If I remember correctly Bobby practiced that car with out a bumper.
Those cars looked crazy to drive.
Man those V8’s sounded so cool back then.
@erasetoimprove I know they were unrestricted, it sounded cool back in the day
AutoRockinRacing94 True, but today's engines have a unique sound all there own. Especially the ones that powered Sterling Marlin to back to back Daytona 500s in 1994 and 1995
I liked that Ford looked diffrent then chevy. Made it so much better to root for a brand when they were diffrent. Now they are all almost identical. Seems like it started in the 80s
jason dirt i’d say around the 90’s
Interestingly, this marked the first race since the 1971 Space City 300 race in Houston that no Chevrolets were in the race (that 1971 race, the only one held in Houston, saw only 14 cars make the field, with no Chevys and Frank Warren, driving for H.B. Bailey, was the only General Motors entry {in a 1970 Pontiac})
Interestingly, Bobby Allison (winner of this Daytona 500) won that 1971 race as well.
AFTER NASCAR INSISTED THE BUMPER BE MOVE WHY DID THEY NOT CHECK IT
ANDREW WILKINSON I’m sure they did check it, but you would not have been able to know how good the welds were gonna hold.
What type of engine they are driving they sound like sports cars
AutoRockinRacing94 V8
Whoever said that restrictor plate racing is a joke is sadly mistaken.
Of course, this was six years before they implemented the plates.
