1970 Motor State 400 at Michigan 

Visually stunning. The aero war era can't be beat!

Somebody needs to find the full races from back then i would totally watch

Nobody: Old nascar guy: you leave that cigarette lighter in the car, I want to smoke at 180mph god damn it!!!

:41 Lights a cigarette with the CARS CIGARETTE LIGHTER!

..when i was in elementary school one of the teacher's husbands had a Superbird and she used to drive it to school on occasion!😮😮..good times!

And that's why nascar sucks nowadays, no cigarette lighters in the cars😪

NASCAR racer at the pits: "Yeah, gimme a 4 tire change, top off the fuel, get them bugs off my windshield, and a pack of Winston's to go"!

Back when the cars were actually different from each other....I gotta believe the aerodynamics of the roadrunners were a good advantage, if petty could've stayed running he might have won this race.

Back when stock cars were stock cars.

I'm a Mopar guy but the Boss 429 was the evolution of the Hemi head design. By 1970 the 426 Hemi was needing a redesign but the new emission laws and NASCAR restrictions made it useless for Mopar to do any more R and D on it. But it was the king of the track for many years and today it still dominates in many classes.

That's about the best-looking footage of an older race that you're ever going to see.

This is beautiful in so many ways

although safety was almost non-existent these were the coolest times for car racing.

These were the guys that carried nascar into the big time.

Back then, real men could race real stock cars with a lit cigarette in their mouth. Those were the days.

Love them Boss429

I’ll be honest I’ve never watched a current nascar race, but something about these old school races is class

These guys had no idea how the future USA would go to $hit

Cale....The Legend!

Very cool 👍 , did you see the pace car smoking when it left the pits ?

Real cars !! Real men !!! Real NASCAR racing !!!! And No Freaking computers !!! Lol Semper Fi

Ok US boys i think its time to make NASCAR great again :-) what i can see today is only a bad joke of this motorsport

0:41... Cracks me up... NASCAR race cars had cigarette lighters in them?

Thanks for posting your video! Love those Dodge & Plymouth Wing Cars!

Nascar 1940s meh it’s cool but dangerous Nascar 1950s it’s a nice show but it’s dangerous Nascar 1960s cool this is exciting but it can be dangerous Nascar 1970s okay we have new safety features and it’s cool Nascar 1980s meh it’s ok Nascar 1990s it’s cool I guess Nascar 2000s ugh after dale died nascar lost it’s charm Nascar 2010s what’s a nascar?

Love the sound of Cale's Merc as he's going down the backchute on the last lap. He He never lifted going into the corner! $$

Awesome!I wish they could do them as a classic today,like TCM does in Australia.Surely people would be up for it!

To this day, I have very mixed emotions about these winged cars.... but I guess the Mopar engineers felt this was a good direction to go. That being said, I was glad to see Cale win this one in his Merc [??] because that's more a normal car to me, and keep in mind.. I was a die hard Mopar man back in the day :) :) :)

That's REAL NASCAR!

Cale Yarborough's 13th Career NASCAR Grand National Series Victory

It's really easy to forget how strong Petty and Isaac were that year. Probably would have been Petty's championship if not for the incident at Darlington.

Cale the man.....Petty he's still the king.....but my fav is of course #17 David Pearson...legendary.

Those winged Superbirds and Daytona Chargers!

You see this is when I grew up watching Nascar.Once Pearson was finished with that cigarette , you know he would move up to the lead!Waltrip would always say that...Men...BALLS....My heros…..The cars that you could buy on Monday.I was the last generation...….sadly millennials are so dead they wouldn't even get it.GTOEY1314Hey how old was the flag man on the grass in his plaid suit.....haaaaaGreat GREAT TIMES.

Sad that today's NASCAR is only a shadow of this era. The sport lost its edge and uniqueness. Rather watch Australian V8 Super Cars any day over the NASCAR we are stuck with now.

2:44 Did anyone notice Pete Hamilton's Superbird has a yellow rookie stripe on the bumper? It was his first time at the track. He won the pole and finished second. He had raced only 26 Grand National races at this point in his third part time year. He won the 1967 NASCAR national Sportsman division championship and had competed in the 1969 Grand American division, a division of smaller pony cars. Earlier in the 1970 Grand National season he won two 500 mile superspeedway races at Daytona and Talladega, the Daytona 500 and the Alabama 500. I knew historically first time drivers regardless of previous driving experience, had to go through rookie training and carry a stripe when they raced at Darlington, but never seen a rookie stripe for first time experienced drivers at Michigan races. There's been understated controversy for years whether Cale won that race or not. Yarborough had lost two laps earlier, but was scored on the lead lap at the end; Hamilton's car owner Richard Petty protested, "The (scoring) cards have Cale lapping Pete (on a late caution) without the pace car lapping Pete. That's impossible."

Notice this was before dry breaks........the cars still had gas caps at that time.

I was probably there as a six yr old. The red 71 was my favorite car. Still love it.

i had a 1965 Chrysler Windsor ..383..we tried to blow it up on the Alberta highways back in 1979 ..it went to the junkyard with the motor still running..

Was hopin' a Daytona/Superbird would win.

This was a great time in Nascar. Chrysler and Ford both supported and backed their race teams. What you saw on the track was the end result of factory engineering and development. Ford's Boss 429 was 40-50 horsepower stronger than Chrysler's Hemi, but Chrysler countered with their aerodynamically advantaged wing cars. It was a great battle that came to an end soon after this season.

Damn, Those are racecars! And look at the attendance.

Those Superwinged Mopars were better at the super speedway. It wasn't the down force they gained from the rear wing. It was for side control threw the corners. Like a airfoil.. Richard Petty stated that fact later on. But I am a Ford guy so I was glad to see a Ford win against these birds of prey. 😁

The Aero Wars, the most infamous era ever in NASCAR, but also the most legendary. Back when the race cars were real muscle cars, but had tweaks on them to have unbelievable for the time aerodynamics. Though the Fords won more races, there's no denying the Mopars were the fastest stock cars ever made. The rare street counterparts aren't any friendlier to other muscles either.

Gotta love those Fords!

FORD,,,First On Race Day....

'Charging Charlie' and 'Pistol Pete' . Love this !

Great race from the aero wars and my home track, I wonder if there is footage from the second race at Michigan? the "Yankee 400" won by Charlie Glotzbach's No. 99 Dodge Daytona.

Love those winged Plymouth Superbirds and Dodge Charger Daytonas. They were so dominant that year NASCAR banned 'em.

back when you can smoke a grit during a race

Bring them back! There are enough remanufactured replacement parts to have a fully supported classic stock car circuit.

Missing are all of the multi national corporation logos all over the cars! Love this era of “real” racing.

The Falstaff points are still up for grabs.

And now they have camrays

Petty always seemed to run better in heavy traffic. The Superbird was an awesome race car but it almost looked cartoonish on the track.

Way cool classic race

Falstaff points I remember Falstaff beer.

Those are the best stock cars, greetings from the Philippines!

Cale got in front just enough to create dirty air for that downforce Mopar. 429 CI grunt! Pretty redhead at the end.

Man! That Wood Bros car really handled great on the straightaway! 😂👍

Cale didn’t need a wing.

Awesome pace car 3:51

groovy cool man... groovy

Those old superbirds were awesome.

The Golden Age of stock car racing.

Cale is driving a 1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II, the Mercury equivalent of the Torino Talladega.

Congrats Cale, I wish I was there.

Welp....knowing now what we didn't know then, it sure looks like a last lap nitrous dump for the win, LOL. Probably had a tiny bottle in on of the front roll bars.

...Back in the day when there was still "Stock" in "Stock Car Racing"... The NASCAR Dodge Daytona Charger and its Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird counterpart were ahead of their time, and NASCAR banned them only after two seasons!

Looks like a good portion of the intro for Papyrus' "NASCAR Legends" game came from this race.

Crazy seeing the driver of #71, Bobby Isaac? Climbing into his car with a smoke in his mouth! I'd love to see a DVD series of the 1970 Nascar season. What fun that'd be.

That 429 Boss Ford definitely out powered that aerodynamic Hemi Mopar for the win!

Boss 429 again! Go Cale!

Funny how they actually ended up making too much downforce with the wing and nose on those mopars. Looks pretty quick through the corners though.

THOSE ARE SOME NICE SUPER BIRDS I SAY

I'll take 2 tires , a can of fuel , and a lucky strike !

Funny to see the tire guy carrying 2 tires at once taking like 41 seconds to get around the cars lol

Michigan was a USAC track if I'm not mistaken. Weren't the rules a little different at the USAC races where USAC stock cars were allowed to run with the NASCAR guys? I can remember being at Daytona when Hamilton won in that #40 Superbird, those cars were a sight to see, totally surreal. NascarAllOut, I knew there was a good reason to subscribe, the restoration of the film footage is excellent and brings back a lot of memories. Thanks a lot for sharing this stuff.

The drivers claimed on the mopars with the big wings on the rear didn’t help the car go any faster down the straightaway, but it’s main job was to keep the rear from getting turned around in the turns. Guess it worked too good because NASCAR outlawed them in a hurry.

Now I can see why there was such white hot rivalry between Ford and Mopar. It was very intense.

The 426 Hemi and 429 Ford engines really proved themselves out on the racetrack for all to see. A "Win" on Sunday meant sales on Monday.

Nascar Now: We are going to throw a caution flag because of a small water bottle on the track!!! Nascar Then: Deal with your crash yourself kid.

Charlie Glotzbach was my favorite driver. I tried to write him when I was a kid, to let him know he had fans. I loved that purple Daytona Charger. I have a picture of in on my computer desktop. I have managed to get a couple of trading cards that he autographed. He was the underdog that many pulled for. I really miss those winged cars!

Love how he uses the cigarette lighter in the car tonight up a dart

My first ever NASCAR race was at MIS in 1974. It's great to see the track how it was back then.

GREAT video and memories!! Nothing like the sound and smell of a car that's just run a race. 👍👍

Very HQ film and transfer! Cale and the Wood Bros beat all the Superbirds ...

Looks like some good pack racing

Memories...loved that old nascar time

i'm sorry, but how did some of the Gran Torinos outqualify the Daytonas?

Those winged Mopar's look like they're from a different racing league. Too bad they had to be outlawed

I think Fred Lorenzen drove a winged Ford, with the 429. ive been to Darlington, Rockingham, Charlotte, Taledega,Daytona, Martins, etc. Met the early wrestlers Rip Hawk and Sweede Hanson in the enfield at Darlington. They were parked beside us, very drunken, as we were, we all had a great time Petty won that day.

Can you dig the background music In the beginning Hahaa

Home of the free.What the hell ever happened.Free Birds.

Cigarette lighter built into the car...I almost dont believe what I saw

I’m surprised to not see a convertible GTO

SOLAR flare incoming CitZeNs

これ売ってないからアリイのダッジチャレンジャー改造した。フォルムが似てるからノーズコーンスクラッチ、勿論ライト可動。丸目4灯なのに何かの本で角目にしたら10何年後からスマホ観てガビーン‼‼チンスポとリアウィングも自作。テールはドリルでくり抜いて自作、サイドの出っ張り消した。ボディーはルーフがレザーみたいにザラザラだったので紙ヤスリで何とか消した。色は赤メタにしたけど何かイマイチ、三角窓も追加した。

Absolutely the ultimate. Plymouth by Petty
