I like how they give an injury report and say a possible broken leg like it's a sctratch and no big deal. I think Nascar lost its balls. Bill Elliott once said when you go 210+ mph it seperates the men from the boys

These were the real races because you did not know who won until the end of the 4th turn (at any track) or it was either you had the whole field a lap down, when they said dale earnhardt has 1 lap left to catch Davey it could be done. The most recent example "with 5 laps to go can Harvick get to Busch" they are basically trying to get your hopes up. you already know they almost lead everylap and the driver who u hate the most wins

That Ford horsepower came from maybe the best engine builder of the 70's & 80's Robert Yates. It was his engine that gave Petty his 200th win. Yates worked for Diegard Racing and Petty went to DiedGard and somehow got a sure win motor to get the 200th win in front of the President. And most of you call that coincidence. The engine never went through post inspection. It was oversized. Thats fact. Read it in Golenbocks book "Miracle"

@BSNFabricating I think with the cars today, even without the restrictor plate they wouldn't be able to get a jump like this for long. Honestly though I still think NASCAR is great, been watching for a very long time and it still excites me just as much as ever. I can't wait to see the Mustangs and Challengers come to Cup in 2013!! They're getting rid of the cookie cutter bodies.
"207.90 MPH by Davey Allison"......enough said. His career was like a rocket blast. Fast but short. never forgotten.
Loose the plates and let the boys race. If something happens it will happen on there own terms. ok, rant over.

If Davey (or anybody) got a jump like that on the field in a plate race now, he'd end up 20th...everybody would line up and charge right past him.
It was REAL racing...none of this bump-drafting, aeropush, lucky dog, Chase for the championship crap...what happened???
