Watching this in 4k you can really tell how fast they're going!

[klummpskards]

would love to see cars able to pass and battle like this again

The danger level back then was INSANE compared to today.
I can't believe more people didn't die back then.

A nostalgic NASCAR from the late 70’s. The days when the Amerian Big3cars were shining we’re so beautiful. Is such an era never coming again!!

Watching the Dynamic and Custom Films Southern 500 highlight flicks from the '60's and 70's on Speedvision on Monday nights re-kindled my love for NASCAR. I'm glad they chose to contribute a pristine, high quality upload. Keep 'em coming NASCAR.

My Father owned a gas station and auto repair shop in the 70s Chicago. He said he always loved watching Nascar even when it wasn't huge in Illinois

I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to see the '03 race at Darlington.

Stage winner: David Pearson, Stage winner: Cale Yarborough, Race winner: Cale Yarborough. Thats 10 stage pts & 6 playoff pts for Yarborough, plus 40 pts for the race win, he's on track to be your regular season champion. Pearson also gets 10 stage pts & 1 playoff point. But he's running a part time schedule, so he's not eligible for the NASCAR playoffs.

THIS RACE HAS MORE ACTION IN THE PITS THAN CURRENT NASCAR HAS HAD IN THE LAST 10 15 YEARS. I love it

Back when racing was racing, I remember watching this .
Allison and Yarborough never did get along....i remember when they stopped in the infield and went for each other.
It's a shame they don't race there anymore.
