Dale Earnhardt Vs Bobby Allison Talladega 1986

[STREETRACERONFUEL]

no plates 

[sneezabonk]

Back then it was exciting because the drivers raced to win there was no such thing as protecting your car for second place finish for points. It was either win or go home.

[Duke4Reuti]

I reckon Bobby Allison could see the AIR too !  Earnhardt said the only other driver that could see the air was Marlin.

[theratfarmer]

yeah, whats wrong with toyota's? the best vehicle i've ever owned. i will never buy an american made (designed) vehicle again, unless i win the lottery. then i would buy 5 corvettes. i love a chevy 350 4 bolt main with 375 heads.

[tranurse]

the pace car for this race was a red chevy s-10. my dad bought it, it had papers and everything.

[redbuick]

Haha smart ass, i guess i was not the only one who feels nascar is slipping.

[zuel660]

This is a lot like the last lap of the 1980 Talladega 500!

[midatlanticcycle]

i understand plating the motors to keep the cars out of the bleachers. but these piece of shit excuses that nascar has nowadays for cars is a joke. car of tomorrow? car of junk!

[spartanxxx17]

remember when pontiac used to run? why have they allowed toyota? i have no idea....they need honda! hahahaha

[superkryp13]

does anyone notice how Dale always made his passes on the turns most of the time anyway

[AMIEVIL86]

@bagruen when Earnhardt slid up it was a product of using the slingshot going into the corner. He was running faster going into the corner and slid up. Its the same thing that Pearson did when he passed Petty going into turn three of the 1976 Daytona 500, and Yarborough did when he tried to pass Petty at the end of the 1984 Firecracker 400. Did you also notice that Allison moved down on Earnhardt going into turn three? Neither driver did anything wrong, its just good racing.

[bagruen]

Allison's one who wouldn't let the basher in #3 mess with him. You can see Earnhardt try to squeeze Bobby when he got beside him. Allison wouldn't give in so Earnhardt had to lift or crash. Others let Earnhardt get away with his bully style of driving, thus for being a basher, he got to be a "hero".

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

Back when racing was exciting and meant something. Win on Sunday, sell on Monday. Now it is nothing but a joke and boring as watching grass grow. Nascar is going down in flames and deservedly so.

[copedipper667]

the cup series is hardley worth watchin anymore truck arca and nationwide is where its at

[EarnhardtsYear08]

@copedipper667 are you crazy nationwide is even more boring. plus this season has been really exciting.

[jwdundon]

Wonder if there is a way to re-introduce "STOCK" Car racing? Add a fuel cell, roll bar, 4 point and RACE... Oh wait its a "dirt track", lol...

[g0ing2n0where]

@jwdundon actually stock car racing would be a drag. Nobody would want to watch a toyota camry going 110 mph around daytona

[jwdundon]

I LOVE nascar, so don't tkae this wrong, BUT it needs to be boycotted TILL THEY BAN the imports!

AMERICAN CARS ONLY RUN ON NASCAR TRACKS!

[battalionmedia]

you do realize the Toyota's on the track are made in America dont you?????

Seriously thats some ignorant thinking.

There are many other reasons Nascar sucks these days.

[jwdundon]

your a dork heres why:

1) WHOS cars are they? The MONEY from building the cars GOES TO the ecconomy of JAPAN.

2) The parts are MADE IN JAPAN, but assimbled here. so they say they are 'made in america'. HOW CAN..... ANY parts NOT made in america be AMERICAN MADE! (no brainer there).

Basically my friend you have been lied to, and you havn't questioned it...  THINK hard before you respond.

[bigmac2400]

you are so right

[EJ25RUN]

@jwdundon

And the money people here make for themselves stays with them. When Ford builds a car in Mexico, it also stays there. People like you are to busy defending things that don't exist.

[camaro4542u]

nascar sucks because rule book is 1 foot think

[33skoalbandit]

lol, faggot.

[starsandbarsDixie]

I hate you buddy...You took my screen name hahah.

[camaro4542u]

ok how bout u boycot all the forien foods u eat too see how long u last cars are cars toyota is not wining what do u care

[sir945]

in 86 bobby wins the race then in 87 he takes out the fence and then the plate is introduced

[DFDSFUEIFH]

@sir945 No, that was 88 when he took out the fence.

[DFDSFUEIFH]

@sir945 Never mind, I just scrolled up and saw a video in the Related Videos section, and the title was Bobby Allison hits Fence at Talladega 1987. LOL. FAIL!

[solidsnake1934]

@DFDSFUEIFH no Bobby Allison hit the fence in 1989 10 years before Edwards did

[DFDSFUEIFH]

@solidsnake1934 Yeah, it was in 89, and it was 20 YEARS BEFORE!

[ZUFALL2938]

@DFDSFUEIFH no it was in '87 when allison hit the fence and it was 22 YEARS BEFORE EDWARDS! LOL DOESNT ANYBODY KNOW THIS??????

[DFDSFUEIFH]

@ZUFALL2938 I KNOW! READ MY OTHER reply to sir945!

[lcd2426]

The problem with NASCAR is that back in the 80's the cars that raced on Sunday were on the road on Monday like the Monte SS or Thunderbirds. That's what was cool about it, also the drivers decided stuff on the track unlike today.

[xxHockeyGuy91xx]

yup, theres nothing "stock" about the cars that race in the National Association of STOCK Car Auto Racing anymore....

[BSNFabricating]

There was nothing stock about thses cars either...but they DID use stock body panels, they LOOKED like stock cars, and at least the Chevrolets, Pontiacs and Fords were based on V8-powered, rear wheel drive cars.

And you're right...it was about RACING, not all the hype and crap that it's turned into...

[Longlakedreaming]

There are no Fords, Chevrolets or Dodges anymore. They are all COT cars, identical except fot the grill opening and the head ans tail light decals!

[doctornoise]

your statement is true about the cars used to be at the track sunday, on the road monday..but not in the 80's. The stock part of a stock car slowly died away as far back as the 70's. It was however true in the 50's! :)

[redbuick]

buick vs chevy. now you see dam toyotas running at taladega. disgusting.

[RyanXWing]

Whats wrong with Toyotas? Just as many of their cars are built in the U.S. if not more than Ford or Chevrolet.

[redbuick]

Here is the case, nothing is wrong with toyotas, just that the MYTH that they never break down, never need service and NO american car is as good . FIRSTLY and lastly , all cars are machines, and all cars break down. i know people who have had brand new honda, toyota, nissan, etc go back to the dealer and never run right, same with american cars. so i know that myth is just that. plus a die hard nascar fan remembering the heyday, would shudder at a camry running daytona.

[RyanXWing]

Actually, for at least 10 years the V-Tec engines that Honda produced never had any breakdowns. I don't know if thats still true, but ZERO breakdowns is very VERY impressive.

[redbuick]

i don't doubt the engines have long life and fewer breakdowns, but i see alot of v tecs in salvage yards and i don't know if they were blown or not. usually the car is not totaled.. it all depends on if you take care of your car.

[spinpsychle]

I'm running a '93 corolla. It's worth more than my mom's '01 taurus which can't stop breaking down. But Camrys in the sport are still weird.

[hayseed6969]

fuckin a right! this shit makes em sick,,,and all the yuppies that drive that shit! especially the old timers.. fuck nascar david pearson must be pukin!

[Caterpillarjon]

@redbuick You got that right, my Daddy landed at Iwo Jima, nuff said!

[zuel660]

@redbuick Yes, & an Oldsmobile in 3rd! Ahhh, the good ol' days!

[EJ25RUN]

@redbuick

Go Toyota

[redbuick]

@EJ25RUN yeah they go but i know a few that don't stop turn or start. keep that myth alive. not.

[EJ25RUN]

@redbuick

Are you seriously comparing a Nascar to a production car? Is that what Nascar fans have gone down to? You really think those cars represent anything on the street?

[redbuick]

@EJ25RUN Dude you seriously need to take a step off your high horse and stop thinking eveyrone on youtube is stupid or out of touch. At least thats the vibe you put out. Of course not! I do remember the days when that was true and there were no toyotas running. but when they wen tot the cars you have now, the stock in stock car went out the window. anyone can toss a motor and tube chasis and slap a production name on the front.

[EJ25RUN]

@redbuick

I just find it ridiculous how many Nascar fans are so put off by foreign brands when every other form of American motorsport has embraced competition between brands between the U.S. Europe and Asia. Look at Grand Am, the ALMS, and Indy car. It basically stands to say that fans of road racing have more sense than Nascar fans as we like cars from where ever they come from. Its like Nascar fans are trying to build a box around themselves.

[ncmike213]

@redbuick Hey guy. You're right! These spec cars aren't worth watching. They all look the same no matter the make. At least these cars looked similar to what was on the street. It took real racers to race these cars. Single car teams and race cars that looked like the street cars. Those were the days!

[rdtli]

@redbuick YOU BET MATE... NOW YOU SEE MILKA DUNO...YAMAMOTO ...AND ALL THOSE KIND OF BULLSHIT....TOOO...DISGUSTING.­...CHEERS FROM A BRAZILIAN FAN OF NASCAR...

NASCAR IS A U.S SPORT...AND THAT IT SHOULD BE FOREVER..FUCK TOYOTAS!! OR ELSE ..WHATEVER

[carsismeZ06]

@redbuick It's blasphemy.

[rmoracer34]

@redbuick Whats wrong with Toyota's?

[redbuick]

@rmoracer34 they don't have the feeling of a true nascar race car, or maybe its the feeling of seeing then on the same track where buick oldsmobile, pontiac used to run with a whole history. if you like em for street cars whatever, fine. but i remember seeing regals and montes going at it.

[DJprofessork72]

@redbuick gasp, what's so wrong with a Toyota (Camry) in NASCAR. It's all but American. When NASCAR was hurting for another manufacturer, they stepped in. You should thank them.

[redbuick]

@DJprofessork72 never.



[DaleJr88FanAMP]

this is classic racing, sideways and talladega...awesome stuff

[outlaw662sr]

another good video thanks that was a good race right to the end i seen it with my Dad when he was still with us

[jdhaynes17]

Many do not even know that Buick Division of General Motors produced the Grand National on a platform other than on the Regal but there was a very unique Grand National built in late 1985 the 1986 LeSabre Grand National.

[redbuick]

correct. i have a lesabre T-type, but my friend has a lesabre grand national down in fl.one of only a scant 120 or less built. They were built not with turbo's but to fill the need to maket he body style legal for nascar.

[kso374]

Todays restrictor plate racing just isn't the same.

[tubeyou443]

todays racing isnt the same.

[BSNFabricating]

That was real racing... Talladega was never my personal favorite, but to have cars that LOOKED like real production cars runnin 205-210 mph, it was a thing of beauty and what superspeedway racing is all about...those days are gone forever...

[bigjim247365]

i agree..... but one year later a car coming threw the tri-oval got loose them airboune and almost went in to the stands....... i like wacthin resticter plate racin,were esle can u see a 200mph parkin lot?

[hayseed6969]

it's disgusting how the frances and all of the yuppies ruined this sport!! to hell with racing today i quit watchin it! it sucks

[17roush99]

I love the old cars they look so much faster than COT

[McCall72]

Great race! This also disproves all the knuckle-heads who say that Earnhardt would wreck you to win. Clean racing on both sides. I'm sure Dale would have much rather have had the high line because you could keep all that momentum up there. Check out the 1984 finish where he blew past Labonte on the high line.

[Fania54]

Hey McCall -- Yeah ol' Dale would wreck a guy to win, and sometimes for other reasons, but not at the speeds they run at the restrictor plate tracks, never. That would just be insane, not to mention it would take out allot of other cars if he had wrecked Bobby. That was a great finish, and I agree that the Monte Carlo's were hot but I still love the smooth clean lines of the Buicks.

I sure wish we could see races like that today but I doubt that kind of racin' will ever happen again.

[Banger82]

yep, Dale respected Bobby very much.

[AbdullahTheNecro]

whatever happened to bob jenkins? didn't he used to do nascar on espn? i hate rusty and that goof-ball dougherty...they suck. come to think of it, espn sucks, they ruin everything

[JBOreo]

he went to the SPeed Channel and i think is doing that highlights show

[vidEvWill]

No, he is a professor at the University of Indiana and teaches what else?...broadcasting. As for Daugherty he says he is the "voice of the fans". Look I don't want a voice of the fans I want a great announcer show me something!!

[JBOreo]

must have been recently. that was the last i heard about jenkins, him going to speed. im behind. lol

[vidEvWill]

Yeah he taught at Indiana for a while and now he is teaching at a smaller school in Indiana now, Anderson University.

[ILikeCheeze24]

Yeah!!! Darn right

[patd0308]

he does the indy series for espn

[DC322]

Without the restricter plate, the old days of the slingshot pass.

[carguysn]

Bobby won in style with that Buick LeSabre

[tommylord]

Yeah, those were good looking cars.

Too bad they were only used for a couple years.

[gwfranks]

none of the alabama gang was ever lucky it was pure talent

[Derrek730]

allison got lucky

[Fania54]

Talladega sure looked different back then, walls all dirty, but I kinda liked it like that.

As for the #22, one time as I was leaving a Pocono race, I stopped at one of the gas stations out there by the entrance to I-80, and I swear to you, there was a red and white #22 Bobby Allison Miller Buick sitting in the lot there. No one around it. No trailer, just sitting there, must have been a show car. Of course I had to check it out real well before I jumped on I-80.

[bonds1970]

Dale should have won that one!

[leehr777]

awsome held him off on the high side too lol.I never did like dale ever.

[EnduroCrazedManiac]

Oh Yeah!!!

[Sunoco]

Agree 100 % with that.

[Fania54]

The #22 Miller car was one of the coolest looking Cup cars ever!

[McCall72]

The #22 Miller Monte Carlo SS was smokin' hot. Never liked the Buick's though.

[jdhaynes17]

Bobby's car is a buick La Sabre, until the new regal was ready for 88
