The 500 was the fourth round of the 1968 Grand National season and the Mercurys were the cars to beat.

  • It's a real shame they've removed the technical aspect from NASCAR.

  • @markpyruz Well, there's not much left to discover now anyway.

  • @Leonefan I was referring to competition between mfg's, as in real stock car racing. The way it is now, the cars are identical and the motors pretty close to identical. It's all personality driven. Back in '68, you could just about turn your '68 Roadrunner into a stock car in your own garage--well, almost. These days? You buy the same chassis/body as everyone else, and forget about the "development" of stock cars into racers. I don't know about you but I miss the old days.

  • @markpyruz I see your point but with the way majority of the affordable passenger cars are today, you would have to change too much in them to make them a decent race car and then they would not retain anything 'stock' anyway other than the body anyway. And aero-matching would make homologation a nightmare as most of today's tracks are so aero-dependent and manufacturers would have to ditch entire assembly lines each time a car they come out with for using in racing is no longer fast enough.
