1963 Darlington Southern 500 (in color) 

A great piece of nascar history! And that music! It's hilarious and great at the same time!

This was when men had balls! Racing with open helmets. Steel bodies. The best drivers ever!

None of the beauty contestants have Adam’s apples. 😊

One of the best NASCAR videos in the history. Thank you!

Bud Moore was a WW2 hero. He captured several Germans all by himself. I’m talking like 20 or so. True story.

Wow, this is way before my time, but this is really cool to watch

The lyrics to the music make this worth watching even more than the racing! lol

Jr. Johnson was bad ass. Pure racing royalty.

Hallo from the UK. I absolutely loved this. I got into Nascar after reading, of all things, Tom Wolfe's essay on Junior Johnson, and I never thought I would ever see footage from the year he ran a lone Chevrolet against all the factory cars. Wolfe's article is worth a read for those who haven't done so. I became a subscriber to Hot Rod soon after. To quote casualobserver2305, Junior was badass.

LONG LIVE DIXIE

We were watching this video, and at the 14 minutes- 17 second Mark, Ed Livingston crashed into the wall, car #68, sponsored by Livingston’s auto parts.. My Best Friend Dad. 💙

Where did the good times go.

The sound of them engines!

I'm EXTRA-Thankful That The Historic Account This Video Provides Exists. Nice Job With The Filming And The Colorisation, And 'Thank Y'all' For Uploading It. Sadly, I Was Only 4 At The Time, So I Missed Out On The Race, But No Love Lost With That Music 😖 / 🙂.• Again, Nice Job, And Much Sincere Thanks 🙂.

I really enjoyed this presentation. I like the eye candy shots of Nancy Sanders hangin' with FireBall. Super cool.

So cool! Thank you

Yogi Bear sings at 13:00, Yeah hey hey. Awesome video.

Spectacular

I was brought here by Protomartyr. I am also a car guy. Not much NASCAR at all, but this makes me respect it even more. It's just not the same now. You know what i mean. And "Fireball", really? I wonder.

Wonderful!! 👏👏👏👏

@10:32 Been there, done that.

When men were men . Not many safety features in these cars. True Chariot racers.

I dont get into most yanky sports,,but i do love watchin these old cars go round,coool

Fireball was the man.

Fireball would be dead by the end of this year and Weatherly would be dead by the beginning of the next year. Lest we forget.

That song jams

NASCAR sends all of you to sensitivity training.

Juniors 427 was hard to beat and gave Ford fits! But unfortunately it was not that reliable

Record attendance for qualifying, lol

12:52

Robert’s died shortly after this didn’t he? I was 7years old but I remember hearing about it. Also did he drive the 513 car on dirt tracks????

Oof the singing 💀

Bob Collins ...............Mr Ready Freddy ............

No Pontiacs. 😢

Fireball Roberts with a smoke in his mouth... people today would have a conniption if any driver in NASCAR today did that.

Coupla months b4 elm st

the stars and bars forever ! love all the flags , very rare to see our great confederate flag real men raceing real cars off the dealership floor!

Why did they put a king's crown on a queen ?

Good race and win for Fireball but I could do without the silly kindergarten song.

How to tell it's an old newsreel about racing: The first fifty percent of the video is filled with fluff, often of the weird 'jerking off a 100-years dead failed rebellion' type.

The "musical" interludes are cringy.
