Why NASCAR banned the dodge car 

Oh HELL NO. The sound of a V8 engine at speed is one of the draws to stockcar racing. If NASCAR ever goes to electric motors, it will be the begining of the end for them. To sit and watch 43 cars silently going around a track where the only sound is the tires on the pavement ain't gonna fly with true NASCAR fans. I for one (former racer and long time NASCAR fan) will be doing something else come race day. And I'll bet I won't be alone. NASCAR started dying the day we lost DALE.

Anyone who refers to a 426 Hemi as "compact" has never adjusted the valves on one in a B-body with power brakes.

The Hemi wasn't allowed in 65 because it was not available in production models. In 1966 it was. The Daytona and Super Bird were allowed in 71 but they were restricted to use a 305 cubic inch destroked 340. They actually performed really good on the shorter tracks and road courses were the handling was much better than big block cars. But the Charger and Road Runner body style also changed to some what match the Ford Torino. Some time in the mid 70s Nascar reduce the displacement limit from 429 to 400. Chrysler used the 383 enlarged to 400 cubic inches. No body gives two shits about electric race cars.

Electric NASCAR? A 500 mile race would take 3 days with 8hr pit stops to recharge. What's next Hells Angels riding electric Harleys?

It’s was nice when manufacturers actually mattered in stock car racing.

They should have just made MOPAR pull a U haul to even things up.

The fact that the Daytona was the first to run a 200 mph lap isn't what banned it

If they go electric I'll never watch another race.

The 426 hemisphere is not a dohc motor it is a pushrod overhead valve engine

Great video….. but they didn’t call the hemi the “elephant” cause it was compact….. lol it was freaking huge!

The 426 Hemi was anything but compact.

Hell no I don't agree! NASCAR will have a mass exodus of fans when they go "green"

Nascar is perpetuating its own demise

Drive what makes you happy man I got no gripe w/electric vehicles.. But I'm totally old school I guess there's just nothing like that sound.. NASCAR was my first love but I have totally moved over to Dirt these days. good ol' American made muscle duking it out until the beer flows! The way God intended! That's _my_ Saturday night paradise . yea.

Dodge was not actually committed to running a next gen. They toyed with it, but Stellantis president has been pretty vocal about not supporting motorsports on a large scale. Dodge went away on their own after 2012 because of their lack of support for race teams and the costs associated due to that.. so they had no teams go with them in 2013.. this pulling their support. Dodge has consistently chosen, on their own doing, to leave the sport multiple times. It is not just NASCAR. Dodge has had commitment issues across all the motorsports they have been involved in

If it is fake noise, no. At that point, just make it silent. Oh wait, half the fun IS the noise...

NASCAR peaked years ago. It’s possible it may disappear with electric motors being required and other racing venues will take its place at the top.

Who wrote this crappy narration script? There are more wrong details than I can count.

The inference that Bobby Isaac topping 200 mph caused the ban on the hemi is garbage! Yes, at the time they may have had an advantage but that was because of the wing. Fast forward to the Bill Elliott era and you had many cars qualifying at well over 200 at the superspeedways and all was well until the bad wrecks started happening, necessitating restrictor plates.

The information is all over the place in this video...talking about the ban of 65 only to jump to 69 Daytona....the Aero cars were only allowed to compete after 70 if they had a 305 cu engine or smaller...

NASCAR goes green. I will start watching drag racing not nascar

There is no such thing as a four door Charger. Yeah it's a nice looking car but they should have called it something else because a four door charger is like having a four door Mustang or Four door Camaro or Vette. My dad had a 69 Charger with a 383 mag and I owned a 71 charger and a 73 Charger. It's an insult to call a 4 door car a charger or even worse and electric one. This Green crap has gotten completely out of hand they are literally putting the cart before the house. It will be 20 to 30 years before they work out all the kinks in these electric cars. Biden shuts down 90% of the oil companies in the U.S.A. that had to abide by the most restrictive and clean ways of getting it and producing it to then buy it from other countries that don't have the same rules to follow about getting the oil as cleanly as possible as the U.S. did and begs them to ramp up production then they have to use super tankers that burn over 200 gallons of fuel an hour to even get it to the U.S.A. making even a bigger footprint than if we just continued to pump it cleanly. Plus, all the different minerals needed to make these new car batteries have to be STRIP MINED destroying huge sections of the earth. digging holes that in some cases are over a mile across so big you can see them from space and the land will never recover. Yet. the left thinks that's better than a oil pump in a grass field with cattle peacefully grazing around it. They are literally destroying many 3rd. world countries lands to dig out these minerals. Then once the batteries are dead they have to dig a hole and bury them because they are so dangerous and toxic for hundreds of years afterwards. Plus, these new electric car have been just catching fire in people's garages and burning their houses down. The same house that you can no longer heat because the power plants can't supply enough power to heat your home and charge your car. The don't charge in freezing weather either so you are without a car when the temps drop. Plus who wants to be riding around sitting on top of a bunch of batteries that sometimes just catch on fire for no reason. Ever see a cell phone battery blow up in someone pocket? Just think what a car sized battery will do. What about when it rains and the streets flood you can't just drive through the deep puddles like you can with your normal car you will fry it and probably yourself and family too. Plus, the Power plants that make the electricity run on coal or some other type of fossil fuel. The hole thing is a joke. We are now causing ten times the amount of carbon by not making it in the U.S.A. where we have to do it cleanly and buying it from a 3rd. world country than ship it here. Those ships can also make huge oil spills and destroy tons of marine and wildlife. Plus, all the American oil workers no longer have jobs to support their families but at least Russian citizens and many other countries citizens are working and can feed their families thanks to biden giving them our jobs. We used to be energy independent and wwe used to be a large energy exporter too now we are a joke to the rest of the world an biden has to beg OPEC to produce more oil. He also has been giving away and even sold 8 million barrels of our emergency oil reserve to CHINA. Oil that is set aside to fuel our military in the event America is ever attacked and to weaken our country even further biden is giving away billions of dollars worth our modern weapons and equipment First to our enemy the Taliban so they can have modern weapons to use against our troops and now to the Ukraine. He has given away so many of our tanks and other military vehicles that many of or troops no longer have enough tanks and stuff left to be deployed if we needed them,. That should scare the hell out of everybody. Giving our stuff away to the Taliban our enemy is literally TREASON . Plus, it wouldn't surprise me if Putin and the Ukraine are working together. The Ukraine builds many of Russia aircraft and naval ships. They could be getting all these countries to send all their modern military weapons and vehicles to the ukraine to replace all of their old outdated crap with our newest weapon systems. Then they will have all the new modern stuff they need while depleting all their enemies countries of their modern weapons. It's actually a brilliant idea. We have all seen how out of date all of Russia's weapons are. Plus, do you really think that the Ukraine would even give us a single dime if America was under attack or needed help? Not to mention the millions of dollars that Biden keep forking over to them and to Iran and many other countries that hate America. WHY?? What About the American TAXPAYERS when is biden going to help us? They are all criminals very very rich criminals that keep getting millions richer by the day as American citizens struggle to even put food on their table or fuel in their cars. Even if the jobs magically return now that we have millions on illegals waltzing across our border everyday where are they going to work? How are they going to find a home and feed their families? Crime is just going to keep skyrocketing just wait until they realize there aren't enough jobs and have to resort to stealing to feed themselves and their families and become desperate. The White House is now known as BOZOS BIG TOP AND FREAK SHOW to the rest of the world. But what did they expect when they installed Americas Biggest racist who once claimed blacks are an inferior race will fighting alongside his ex klan leader hero for Segregation in the 1970's. Back then we had Journalist on the nightly news who use to call him out for his disturbing remarks. Now they sweep them under the rug and hope people are to lazy to look up any of bidens old TV new footage. Now they protect POGO the democrat Clown N Chief. Only this POGO the clown likes little girls in the basement instead of young construction workers under his crawl space.

Haven't watched nascar in ten years or more, been watching and going to NHRA events ever since

Electric tanks going 195 miles an hour? Electric NASCAR would be way more dangerous.

HELL NO I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE ELECTRIFICATION OF RACE CARS. THE ROAR OF THE ENGINE IS WHAT MAKES THE RACE.

Is this the latest cleverly disguised robot voice? I can't imagine a human being just regurgitating the typos in the script like this. Bobbic Isaac?

Be nice if you knew what you were talking about ...426 hemi is anything but compact in size . The daytona was superceded by the superbird before 71. .they forced chrydler to run small block 305 ci and the were actually winning when they got crashed out of the race

I never understood how nascar went from making faster and faster cars to regulating and banning cars that are better

FACT...NASCAR didin't totally ban the Hemi in 1966. They told King Richard he could run a hemi but it had to be in a Fury body...

Why show all those Fords while talking about the hemi?

If racing goes full electric it won’t be as fun to watch

The EV was actually produced before the internal combustion engine! The reason the gas powered engine became industry standard and the EV just kinda fell to the wayside, was due completely to the fact that the EV wasn’t worth a fuck. Really it still isn’t. The manufacturing process is extremely toxic and the cars/trucks have no notable range or tow distance. And the tow bill is extremely high if you can find a towing company capable due to its excessive weight and potential fire risk once placed on the yard after the crash

the roar of the engines is what many fans are there for when that's gone fans will be gone the woke crap just doesn't cut it

We're just too fast for this world 🌍😏

They do it, There done!

I'm so ashamed of dodge giving up on fuel powered vehicles. Seems now Toyota are the new rebels

The reversed scooped on the front fenders are not for brake cooling. They are simply there to cover the clearance holes for the tires due to the down force applied by the nose.

I don't know how you go from those old Chargers and Daytonas to what they look like now.

I understand. The whole reason,we race fans,follow,a Brand,a certain series, is the sound,the speed,the driver,the team. Yes,there are,more details,But, I Lisited,to me,the basics!! Metro Detroit Loves,cars and competition!!! G

the 426 wasn't called the elephant because it was compact

When your little brothet keeps changing the rules so he wins

Politics doesn’t belong on the track

I quit watching racing years ago because of the Nascar's rulings it made to keep the playing field equal!! Socialism at its finniest!!

No way. Save the EV's for the golf course.

This is THE worst video I've ever seen talk about Hemi s. Good gosh

There is absolutely no biased opinions in this video 🤥

Was this video written by a high school student who, until yesterday, had never heard of nascar, dodge chargers, hemi’s or the word “banned”?

Banned for being too fast? WTF? I thought the idea was to WIN races. You gotta be fast to win.

When electric cars enter the Nascar Tracks that will be the end of Nascar for me and many others and we will sing the song="The Day that Nascar Died"~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RIP

Mmmm Mercedes have won every driver and constructor championship since 2016......some one doesn't obviously remember 2021 when Mercedes didn't win the drivers championship, or in 2022 when Mercedes did not win either the constructor or driver championship.......

1964 stock car truck races? Last i heard the truck series started in the 1990's not the 1960's and no truck has ever run a hemi in Nascar. Dude, you can even wiki this and do better

I am questioning your facts 🤔 and yer video/pics ...lining up with audio... Facts

I will NEVER give up my petrol engines for a HYBRID or ELECTRIC vehicle NEVER!! I will be buried in one of my petrol vehicles end of story, I love you MOPAR but as soon as you start you ALL ELECTRIC charade I'm done....

The words electric and horsepower go together as well as oil and water. I would have never thought that manufacturers would measure power by electricity. Sad day for real muscle cars, classic and modern. And I see nascar losing more fans than they already have by using electric and hybrid cars in the future.

Wasn’t it bad enough that NASCAR killed off the old smaller race tracks to expand to areas that never had NASCAR racing? Allowing GM to run the Monte Carlo and Pontiac with the aquarium rear window when you couldn’t purchase one as a street legal car. Ford with the Taurus and now a Nascar Mustang? There’s nothing stock about any of these cars. NASCAR wants asses in the mega buck seats not the infield where the real fans gathered. The crappy TV contracts where half way through the season, if you didn’t have cable, you didn’t see race. NASCAR is dying a slow self inflicted death.

Also lol at the morons paying 100k for a 30 year old Mercedes chassis.

Political pressure to change the Nascar circuit in my opinion is going to end the sport.

Because just like the NHRA, they've always targeted MOPAR.

NASCAR banned all aero cars after 1971 season, NOT just MOPAR.

The final nail in the nascar coffin

At the 1 minute mark the narrator states due to its compact size and massive out put . Compact WTF

No, the wing was outlawed, and the hemi was disallowed, Dodge wasn’t

There weren't ANY Stock Car Truck races back in the 1960s.

No I think they are making a huge mistake. Batteries are for flashlights not cars

Next year (2025) will mark Dodge’s return to NASCAR as well as Volkswagen’s debut, so NASCAR will then have 5 manufacturers (Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Toyota, Volkswagen).

Long story short The Daytona soared over 200 mph and was no longer allowed to compete in NASCAR event racing.

Guess ford got tired of being last on race day 🤣🤣

They didn’t ban the car… Dodge simply turned down Nascar

bruh really thinks that a camry will outrun any dodge mustang 💀💀

If Nascar goes electric then it will be the end of Nascar

They do know that electrics are not the way forward

If nascar goes electric its over for nascar

Anyone else click on this hoping to get some actual 2024 news?

Hey just wanted to let you know I got a double ad at the beginning of the video and noticed that you only have 401 subscribers. I know that RU-vid only lets you monetize your stuff if you’re above 1000 subs so if you don’t see a dime from this video they’re totally ripping you off. Just wanted to let you know because you deserve to make something off this video, especially if they’re gonna run ads off of it without your knowledge.

Before i watch the vid im assuming cuz that shit would spin out and it will become a derby instead of a “piston cup”😂

Two words why general motors

wait the DOHC hemi was made in 69-71ish and there were only 2. at least for what i have read anyway

What?… the “brake cooling” ducts on the fenders were for aerodynamic purposes, it allowed air to escape from the wheel well of the car out the top and reduce lift at high speed, literally try to learn something before spreading false assumptions to others that won’t know any better.

No one should listen past the 426 being called compact.

Although the wing cars did dominate in speed, they actually won few races. Out of fifty-four races in 1969 and forty-eight races in 1970, the 1969 Dodge Daytona won two races in 1969 and another four in 1970, for a total of six. Its successor, the 1970 Plymouth Superbird, won eight races - all in 1970.

GM seems to own nascar.

I'm not sure nascar nexus is actually familiar with automotive history. You talk about the hemi while showing a galaxie and a gt40. Or talk about sports car racing while showing a dragstrip. There are many other odd things like this throughout this video. I'm not dogging on it, much. And I generally enjoyed it. But c'mon man.

Dodge was banned because nobody stood a chance against them period.

Same reason the police don’t like them, they’re too fast!!

Can't tell one car from the other now in nascorp.. so the tv can just put in canned exhaust to please the dummy fans or put cards in the 20" covered wagon wheel spokes to make a cool 'engine 'sound.

The ford usually out ran the mopars even with there nose cone and wing's. A look back at the record book show's that. Chrysler could not give those car's away when they came out. Most of them over heated due to the nose and every one thought they were ugly like most mopars of that era. Now people go crazy over them and other old chryslers because of the hemi. Ford had a aero torino on it's way also so nascar banned both not just the superbird. There were only 5 aero talladega Torino's made with Bud Moore having one but they were cancelled by nascar before they could hit the track. Nascar diden't want missles replacing cars so thats why they canceled the cars.

Why not just go all the way and cut grooves in the tracks with copper on each side and turn it into a giant slot track! ARRRRGGHHH! That seems to be where it's headed anyway!

No why is nascar going hybrid or electric anytime soon. Taking the loud roaring of the engine away from the sport would definitely turn a lot of long time fans away. Nascar even stated that they have no intentions on going electric or hybrid anytime soon. And this is coming from a nascar fan who keeps up with the sport and all their decision making. So sorry to say speculation is widely wrong.

We're all screwed.. gone will be the sound of a sweet v8 tune rumbling down the street..

How can you discuss NASCAR and Dodge/Plymouth using Number 43 and fail to mention Richard Petty?

Hybrid price tag is too high and electronics fail too much. I will always stick with hybrid free designs. Why I am switching to Ford.

That is so stupid that they did it for so fast isn’t that the entire point of races?? Like what

Dodge should use these facts as advertising

If the drivers don't need to use the brakes on any track the cars are go to slow. NASCAR needs to stop making rules to slow the cars down and let the drivers be the limiter not the rules. Racing is no longer about the cars it's only about the sponsors and drivers, they are billboards not race cars.

NASCAR just does not like Chrysler, they build car and engines to superior. They let a foreign car company in, but not Dodge! That's unamerican!!! Just make a cookie cutter Dodge car, and remind nascar that its owned by Fiat.

If you can't win em ,then cheat em

The only reason Petty won all of those races, you seen what happened when they made the cars even, he Flopped

Wave bye to nascar last thing I want to watch is golf cart racing

It was the first real and first super car.

The new charger is a disgrace to the old ones. Pure crap and junk.
