[crysjumar1]

"Sure glad I wasn't close when it happened." What kind of a comment is that?

[Philip83151]

with all these crashes like this back then, its like its no big deal. now if a car gets a foot off the ground, its a huge deal. lol maybe just cause we dont see wrecks like this these days. who knows

[stefmjones]

@Philip83151 they dont build the frames the same these days, back then it was ur own blood swet n tears! old school new how to REALLY make it fun. :) now, they have ppl with degrees that half the time have never been in a real race car, tellin them whats safe and whats not. still fun to watch though! :)

[Philip83151]

@stefmjones that is true. they say the competition is a lot better these days but who knows if it really is. these guys here are tough.

[stefmjones]

@Philip83151 agreed!! and im sure at times it is better, but i can remember as a kid goin to dirt tracks and the feel and excitment was always way better! for me any how. i love nascar, but id pick dirt over assfault anyday. theres more skill involved in dirt.

[Philip83151]

@stefmjones there is more skill for the driver, havin to turn the wheel just the perfect about and give it just the right gas or brake around the turn when you throw the car sideways, if youre off by the slightest of margins, your car will easily hook while its sliding and you go into the wall. its tough drivin dirt. its two different styles but it takes more to drive on dirt i will agree with ya there.

He did so touch the guardrail.

[phxracing42]

thats good old time nascar right there

[18sux29rox]

What was the crash where those 2cars flipped over the wall?

[AjAllmendinger84]

I think so. There was at least one more call that went over or came close to going over the wall during the race.

OMG

[Milanista2008]

I wonder what TV show this was and if you have it maybe in it´s entire length, where the KIng, Cale, Benny and ol' DW have a nice little chat about the good old times. Would love to see it!

[altfactor]

@Milanista2008 I think this was from the "official" film of the race produced by or for the Darlington speedway.

A week later, an edited videotape of the race was shown on "Wide World Of sports", but it was in black-and-white.

[goreds03]

[OldSchoolNascar]

Sam McQuagg and LeeRoy Yarbrough

[XxSTICH666xX]

[XxSTICH666xX]

LMAO $20K first place prize.

[SparkPlugRocks]

"and then i saw grass, and i knew there wasn't no grass on that race track" XD priceless

[JorgeHGPR]

This is the real good times of what was a sport. Look at how the cars could hit the wall and nothing happened. Good racing, amazing crash. Thanks for the vid!

[Nascar1520888]

good thing they have chatch fences now!

[RedDawnJensen]

@Nascar1520888 I thinkthe racetrack should be covered in landmines, and the cars have to drive around sideways on the fence.
