AH, the Warlords and Gladiators of the good old days..They took the biggest chances with their lives without the spacesuits that drivers wear today and these kings of racing had the REAL BALLS.
This is when NASCAR was really fun without all the corporate garbage and they raced with real cars. If this happend in today's NASCAR it would mean points deductions, fines, and maybe suspensions. Miss the old days of letting the drivers police themselves and settle things on the track like real men. Money changes everything.
Oh man, what a heck of a race! You can´t compare the ole days from today. Today almost only young kids drive the Cot´s. I stopped watching nascar from week to week since 2003. The budget for a season skyrocket up 1996. From 3 Million $ to15-20 Million $ today. It´s a shame, for those cars with old engines and carburettors, solid rear axle and tube frame i can´t understand that cost so much money. Why 900 HP+? Today a crate engine would done this job. I love old nascar, but not the new generation
But, I have to say, at the end of the day, I still prefer Ken Squier's CBS call of that incident. Pure Storytelling Genius, that man. They sure don't make 'em like that anymore.
In high school, my Dad took me to the 500 in 1979 as he did many years before. We broke down half way down and hitched the rest of the way. Their used to be a hotel across from the front stretch and we went in and got a hotel room that someone just cancelled. I was in turn 4 during the fight but what I remember most was Joe Frasson's car exploding during the Busch race. Friends who never talked about NASCAR to me before were all interested in it when I got back. Incredible memories!
hmm @ stokieaggro1863 and unpilot15 you guys both just sound foolish arguing and talkin trash over the internet do your selfs a favor and just stop really
@UNpilot15 haha im not chinese im a white man haha somthing u aspire to be when u grow up ooooooooooooo ahahahahah yeah thats right make some monkey noises you choclate brownie ha the ace of SPADES!
I saw an interview during the 50th Anniversary of Daytona 500 and the two were in a room together talking about this fight. You could see they still were angry about it. It cracked me up.
This WAS nascar. Havent watched a full race since about 94 or so. Cars are not STOCK cars anymore and when nascar got popular it got ruined. It is just painfull to try and watch it now. Restricter plates, cookie cutter body templates, team racing etc. It went Hollywood and never came back. Love to see a wing car or cyclone get turned lose on todays racing. Ha!
ahh yes the days when NASCAR fans didn't complain about every little thing. I miss those days! One thing still hasn't changed though, I still love NASCAR.
This was when NASCAR was real. Real cars, real driving, real men. Today's version looks like its run by Vince McMahon. Needless to say I haven't wayched NASCAR in years.
@MasterMaxx100 no it's called racing and rubbing is racing. That is why Nascar became so popular and why it is tanking now. No more putting the chrome horn to a fellow driver with the filtered down indy car like COT that Nascar has now.
Donnie clearly ran Cale into the grass... I'll always remember this race, as others have mentioned this was the first Daytona 500 televised live. Ever after this I was huge Cale Yarbourough fan, and he's still a great guy!
Oh for the glory days of NASCAR! What they are doing these days is a poor excuse for racing!! This happened on the day I got married, 1st time that the Daytona 500 was talevised.
@altfactor The cold wave was definitely real, I don't know about the urban legend but like I said that was the day that I got married and we had 2 ft. of snow that day here in NC. Biggest snowstorm i ever saw!!!!!!
What was the show that this recap came from? I hear Allen Bestwick talking and I feel like this was from some speed channel show in the late 90's/early 00's that I've watched before, but I can't remember the name.
I'm glad this video is still here. I'm reading a book called "He Crashed Me, So I Crashed Him Back", about the 1979 NASCAR season. The first third of the book is about the '79 Daytona 500.
the moron with the cap shouldnt even be in the race car. not only does he hav a fucked up accent, he cut into the car on the inside and fucked both up...and he looks like a retard in the interview. strip him off his license and gve him a wheelchair...
Good Vid. Please tell me how the hell you people manage to cause shit fights on every video.. Global economy? WTF has that got to do with Nascar!! Just enjoy the vid for what it is!
2:18 "He ran the back of me first." Hmmm, I wonder why? Maybe it was because you were cutting him off and pushing him over towards the field... he didnt have a choice. Dumbass
really?????? ummmm when NASCAR started there were jaguars and other foreign made cars....Chrysler....German.....at least the Toyotas are assembled in America giving Americans jobs not like Chevy and Ford who employ Canadians and Mexicans....
well yeah i know that but there not japan now are they' you dont see germany ruining the global economy do you? how many japanease cars do you see on your street? alot right? ask someone whos been to japan how many american cars they seen on one street? probly a few 1/2 mabey that tell's you how much they buy from us not alot
Understandable, if you've never felt the adrenaline rush of pushing a car to its limits before. I respect NASCAR drivers, they go through hell in those races, but I don't enjoy watching such a drawn out event. I'd rather watch something that requires fine technical skill like Autocross, rally, or a drift run.
NASCAR has always been more of a spectator's sport than Formula or WRC, simply because it's both more exciting and easier to spectate.
Formula and Touring car racing (or any form of racing with both LH and RH turns) is a fine art; more of an enthusiast's sport. It's about the feeling and finesse of car control on the limit. You hardly have time to think about where other cars are, let alone follow them. And it's not about the battles, it's about getting around the track as fast as possible
And don'y get football why do they kick a ball back and forward over and over, listen racing is more dangerous the football in fact you should be thanking motorracing there crashes are what make our road cars safer
i feel the same way about golf. hit a ball with a crooked stick, then walk to the ball. then hit it again. then hit it again into a hole in the ground and pick the ball back up. it's ridiculous. why watch a pretentious "sport" like golf when you could watch racecars drive upwards of 190mph, where there's a greater likelihood of someone going to the hospital.
cale made more sense, if your moving at 160+ MPH the car will shot up either back ontop the race track or into the infield. I think that donnie should went high and sling shot by cale in turn 3, however it was an exiting crash and race
Donnie Allison is a liar, anyone with eyes can see that Cale was passing him and Donnie ran him ALL THE WAY down the track. Donnie knew he was beat and couldn't take it.
It was a racing incident. If the front of your car meets the driver's door then he should give you room. In this case Cale was going a lot faster than Donnie but Donnie did a poor job blocking him. Cale was already underneath him and had all 4 wheels on the track when Donnie hit him. I
no offense but there is no fuckin way this is infamous it is the best thing tht will ever happen cuz cale yaborough was involved in wat took place and he is jj idol the 3 time champ looks up 2 him and he is made a carrer cuz of it

i am a fan of KUBICA(Robert) BMW Sauber .... he won at monaco last season but this season is a bad season for him! ,,, already 3 engines died! That's just f***ed up! He might join a different team! and good to see an F1 fan!
Omfg what a load of bollocks how can you weak minded people watch this? all they do is race in a circle hahahaha europe has the le-mans and america has an oval race where all you need to do is turn left!
yeah for real. i dont get why you haters watch nascar videos if you hate it so much. and ill admit to being a le mans fan also, but they cant take any kind of damage, a tap in the wall will break an axle. nascars get the shit beat out of them and can still finish a race.
i dont think u have any idea how demanding it is to drive that. its like being on a rollercoaster, thats how big the g forces are. imagine doing that for up to 4-5 hours and tell me if ur an athlete then
I race stock cars on dirt, which is obviously a lot slower than this but the corners are tighter. I was so surprised at the amount of g-forces I felt going into the corner. Now I got used to it and really don't feel it at all. People who race at all levels really put their life into it. It costs so much money to race even at the local dirt track.
lets see u do it. i'll bet your some 11 year old nerd that knows NOTHING about the SPORT of nascar. plus the fact that they go to road courses and hey dipshit their ovals. learn something u pos.
I have to disagree Fania54. I'm not sure about the rest of the race but to me Bobbie was driving a very straight line there, and Cale put himself in a poor position, then ran into Bobbie. Anyways, hell of a finish.
brandonsmail99 -- I was kidding, it''s what Cale supposedly said in the heat of the moment. I think it's hilarious. Bobby was nowhere near Donnie and Cale when the last lap deal happened. Anyway, I agree.....hell of a finish!
this was when NASCAR was at its prime. and hey dunlopdaytona, dont even start. formula 1 and nascar require the same amount of skill. all the drivers start out drivin' go karts and all that.
Lightweight Championship of the World............................Classic! Funny! This race officially put NASCAR on the map (nationwide), back in the day when stock car racing was PURELY stock car racing.
Even though Donnie took up a lot of the track, Cale got into him first. I don't blame either one of them, though. I would have done the same thing if I were either one of them. It was Daytona, you do whatever it takes to win.
This was the first time since 1959 (and only the second time ever) the Daytona "500" aired live and in full on network TV (CBS).
Thanks to heavy promotion of the telecast----and the last laps' duel which boosted the numbers as people called their neighbors to say "Turn On CBS! There's an amazing finish coming up in Daytona!"---the ratings were the largest ever for a NASCAR race (and maybe any kind of auto race) up to that time.
Auto racing became a big-time TV sport thanks to this finish.
Thumbs up if you're from the Florence area!

@Dgb12651 It was not the first Daytona "500" to be televised.
But it was the first one, as far as I know, to be televised live from start-to-finish.
Reportedly, there was a cold wave in much of the country that an urban legend claims contributed to the high viewership.
In reality, the big TV numbers were caused by the growth in fan interest auto racing received during the 1970's.
Also: Isn't the 2011 edition of the Daytona "500" going to be run under the lights in prime time?

Man I was just kidding. I'm not a racing fan, but I respect the drivers as skilled individuals.

yeah for real. i dont get why you haters watch nascar videos if you hate it so much. and ill admit to being a le mans fan also, but they cant take any kind of damage, a tap in the wall will break an axle. nascars get the shit beat out of them and can still finish a race.

i dont think u have any idea how demanding it is to drive that. its like being on a rollercoaster, thats how big the g forces are. imagine doing that for up to 4-5 hours and tell me if ur an athlete then

I race stock cars on dirt, which is obviously a lot slower than this but the corners are tighter. I was so surprised at the amount of g-forces I felt going into the corner. Now I got used to it and really don't feel it at all. People who race at all levels really put their life into it. It costs so much money to race even at the local dirt track.

lets see u do it. i'll bet your some 11 year old nerd that knows NOTHING about the SPORT of nascar. plus the fact that they go to road courses and hey dipshit their ovals. learn something u pos.

you don't turn your wheel to the right at 200 mph. Cale did it twice in that segment.

I have to disagree Fania54. I'm not sure about the rest of the race but to me Bobbie was driving a very straight line there, and Cale put himself in a poor position, then ran into Bobbie. Anyways, hell of a finish.

brandonsmail99 -- I was kidding, it''s what Cale supposedly said in the heat of the moment. I think it's hilarious. Bobby was nowhere near Donnie and Cale when the last lap deal happened. Anyway, I agree.....hell of a finish!

this was when NASCAR was at its prime. and hey dunlopdaytona, dont even start. formula 1 and nascar require the same amount of skill. all the drivers start out drivin' go karts and all that.

Oh shut up. Skill? Formula 1 requires skill at every level. Advanced engineering, mechanics, physical trainers, computer fluid dynamics.
The drivers have to negotiate twisty chicanes in tenths of a second while fighting against 5 G's of decceleration.
And we can look past skin color (look at our world champion this year).
The only skill nascar requires is who can eat more burgers and who can drink beer quicker than the others.

nascar also requires a great deal patience do not getting bored while driving and coffee do not fall sleep behind wheel...

Formula One DOES require some skill... for instance, in Formula One the drivers have to turn right sometimes...

Even though Donnie took up a lot of the track, Cale got into him first. I don't blame either one of them, though. I would have done the same thing if I were either one of them. It was Daytona, you do whatever it takes to win.

This was the first time since 1959 (and only the second time ever) the Daytona "500" aired live and in full on network TV (CBS).
Thanks to heavy promotion of the telecast----and the last laps' duel which boosted the numbers as people called their neighbors to say "Turn On CBS! There's an amazing finish coming up in Daytona!"---the ratings were the largest ever for a NASCAR race (and maybe any kind of auto race) up to that time.
Auto racing became a big-time TV sport thanks to this finish.
