1988 Pontiac Excitement 400 - Intro

Here we go the final race ever run at the Richmond Fairgrounds Raceway before the track was transformed into the 3/4 Mile track we know today.

Hard to believe this is what Richmond used to be like.

Thanks. I should've waited a few minutes into the video. Sorry if it seemed like a dumb question.

Is it just me or does Johnny Hayes sound EXACTLY like Darrell Waltrip?

Excellent videos, battalion; I've never seen this race before!

At 1:20 I guess Dave had never heard of IndyCar racing? Do Unser, Mears, Fittipaldi, and Andretti ring a bell?
