I didn't aporeciate at the time how good this broadcast team was. All the telemetry and fancy graphics they have now can't make up for it. Also, that bit about JD McDuffie takes a different tone, knowing what would happen a few years later.
Most fans know him either for holding the record for the most starts without a win, or for being the penultimate race fatality in the Cup Series. I know him for being statistically one of the best drivers to never win a race.
Crazzy how close the drivers sat to the door with ZERO head and neck restraint/ rest.......fun fact this is the first daytona 500 with the BLACK NUMBER 3 GOODWRENCH MACHINE......Greatest paint scheme of all time
Best era of NASCAR 1950s - mid 2000s luv that Skoal Bandit #33 driven by Harry Gant,Bobby Allison Miller Gold Draft Buick race car & #44 Sterling Marlin Sunoco Oldsmobile nice looking paint schemes.
@@roncoobs AIDS from (supposedly) heterosexual conduct. NASCAR faked a positive drug test with the same dude who was found guilty of faking a bunch of NFL players tests at the leagues request. Ruined his livelihood and rest of short life and swept all evidence under the rug because 99% of all people infected by HIV back then were homos. They took his license for his last hurrah attempt at Daytona in 1988. he sued. He won. But NASCAR would only give him his license back if he gave them his lifelong medical records....becAuse somehow THAT would prove he wasn't on drugs (???)....but would also reveal his AIDS. Something he never "came out" to anyone about other than his immediate family + Rick Hendrick as far as I know. You could write a book on him. In fact, quite a few have. Heck, you could write a movie about him. Ever seen "Days Of Thunder?" The learning character was based on Tim Richmond. I put the first part of a really good doc about him on my Vimeo channel with the same name. Check it out before they take it down!
You literally cut out one of the best sequences of racing the race had. The sequence where Ken Squire says "Look at this tremendous assault by Earnhardt!!!" while Bonnett, Earnhardt, and, Waltrip ( with Baker in the draft) battle for the lead...What a total screw up!!!
I remember watching the race and was happy that Richard wasn't hurt seriously, listening to these drivers talk, I realize now how much how much just how much the mindset has changed!!
The 17 started vapor locking and fouled a plug after running through some of the oil dry they used on the track late In the race. Before that he had the 12 covered
