Before the 1983 Daytona 500, Cale Yarborough flipped his car in qualifying, even though he was on pace to set a blistering lap time. Waddell Wilson was his crew chief at the time and was faced with a decision to make: fix the car or find a new one.
The new one they found was a show car in Hardee's parking lot. They built the Pontiac Lemans and had it ready to go before the duels, where Cale raced his way in to the Great American race, in one of the wildest journeys during Speedweeks in NASCAR history.

I remember that qualifying lap when Cale took flight. Remember it like yesterday. Now I know the actual story from the man himself. Thanks Waddell. 🏁

Put Waddell up there with Smokey Yunick, Junior Johnson and others when it comes to doing things with a race car that no one else could. Legendary. Thanks for the video Dale Jr.

There's a old interview with Cale,He's said WELL ONE MINUTE I WAS A RACER THE NEXT I WAS EYEBALL TO EYEBALL WITH A DELTA PILOT 😂😂

@jamesakers1175 6 месяцев назад

Waddle has had some of the best driving his cars over the years. They all had plenty of speed. Those were the years of NASCAR I miss the most.

Pure gold! Period.

That pic of Cale flying was front page USA Today news paper, I loved that pic.

On one of those pictures if you zoom in, you can see Cale looking straight out the passenger-side window when the back of the car got lift. One of the iconic racing photos.

I love these stories of the golden age. I remember seeing this story unfold in my youth. Nice to finally hear this from the driver / owners perspective. It's a shame Nascar has turned its back on the fans who made them. Foreign cars do not belong in Nascar, wherever they're made. The manufacturer rules should be based on the country the Headquarters are located, and where the profits go, period. I quit watching, and spending money on Nascar in 2006.

Lmao "if you dont want me to use it, dont give it to me" Cale sounds like he was ready to drive anything

@psychlyst 5 месяцев назад

He was a racers racer...one of the best ever

@fuhrstpuhl3278 6 месяцев назад

I think by that time Waddell could put a Checker cab on the pole.......If you look at that 81 LeMans it looks small, small frontal area, small windshield and then the flush window on the back and Bobby Allison and Waddell recognized it right away.

The Grey Ghost was the crowning achievement for Ol Waddell, however he set that car up, Bravo sir!

@SomeRandomname-m4m 6 месяцев назад

Cale was amazing to watch too

@cactusyaya 6 месяцев назад

I remember watching the qualifying flip and thinking I've never seen a race car flip like that. The words playing card were soon attached. Cale had this thing when he won, where he was almost apologizing for Waddell being so good.

I love the last statement: if you don’t want me to use it,don’t give it to me….. Ive felt that way just about every time I’ve ever climbed behind the wheel. I’m nearly 60 and still love the feel of 100 plus in the thighs….

@shawdowsanddust5301 6 месяцев назад

I always wondered if Cale's flip at Daytona is what got the ball rolling on the Aerocoupe rear window that came a few years later.

So so so true if you put your mind to it it becomes possible

I took my dad and uncle to the international motorsports hof in Talladega last year. It's amazing ton of history probably 200 racecars on display. My uncle is in his late 60's huge Cale fan. We're all walking through checking out all the cars and he's looking for a Cale car he goes "I haven't seen a Cale car! Where's the the bad ass section?" There wasnt one on display when we went. International motorsports hof get a Cale car!!!!!

@stephencartier495 6 месяцев назад

ThankQ Dale. Always enjoyed watching your dad at Daytona in the 90s. Bought my straw hat. Back when you could park on Friday and get in line and park anywhere you want in the infield.

i road in trucks for company i was a mechanic for as a load unload helper it sucked I got to sleep well one or co driver drove & either bumps or engine running would be hard for me to sleep! Walter said it took him months to get use to it! ( it was way for extra money making )

@303Mopar 6 месяцев назад

First to break 200 mph was the Dodge Daytona in ‘69, not some Pontiac 😂

@brockautorepair 6 месяцев назад

Baker in 69 was during practice (I believe), the first "official" 200 mph lap in qualifying or a race was Parsons in the Pontiac

@seannicol7309 5 месяцев назад

They Probably didn’t want to work on that car because they might have been afraid it would kill Cale

@MrMakemyday3 6 месяцев назад

bobby was told after daytona to not bring that lemans to another race or we will make it to where you cant drive it- words from bobbys espn interview after daytona

@TimAlfrey-kw1md 6 месяцев назад

Dale I would like your opinion on what happened to Carl Edward ?

@skeezix8156 6 месяцев назад

Man that’s nascar. Punish you for being better. They ended up with a damn 1-1/2” spoiler on that lemans while everyone else had 4-1/2” ones

I never understood why Ford never pushed for the Mustang and Chevy for the Camaro in the 80s/90s

@DavidClark-vu3dw 6 месяцев назад

It's crazy that the late great Cale Yarborough didn't know anything about a racecar.

@toddedwards5373 6 месяцев назад

Didn't know anything about a race car except how drive the hell out of it.

@jimb_28 6 месяцев назад

Cale probably had a crew chief , or a good friend to work the geometry of the front end and get the car weight like it should when he first started racing . But Cale knew how to mash that loud pedal , that was the main thing... Great interview.

@gregzero2a100 6 месяцев назад

There is a old story when NASCAR was messing with him about i forgot what gave him a hard time he fixed or modified it the way they wanted an went like 2 seconds faster ....then someone dared NASCAR ...go ahead go mess with those boys again .

@superhoss95 6 месяцев назад

Waddell is grossly underrated. Love hearing him speak

@seanriley6041 6 месяцев назад

Dale interviewing without mike is good for Dale he gets a little more room to speak and ask questions. Love Mike hope he stops in from time to time though
