This is one of the finest videos on NASCAR. Shows the true down to earth nature of it all in it's golden age. Looks more like a County fair demo derby at the beginning. No glamor boys - Just racers.
Thank You! I was in the 8th grade in 1973. Went to Richmond and Charlotte. I pulled for Number 54, Lennie Pond from Richmond. He actually beat DW for Rookie of the Year....not sure what year that was..1972??

And notice the lack of COMMERCIALIZATION?
Not a corporate sticker on every friggin thing and no crap scrolling on the top and bottom of the tv screen either.
That was called quality TV. Now its just an advertising box.
