Love these old races where you had every make of car... T-Birds, Monte Carlo SSs, Cutlasses, Regals. Lovin it!

A call out to the Bulldog Cale Yarborough for driving the wheels off that thing with no power steering.

Million Dollar Bill from Dawsonville! It was meant to be

Liquid Wrench / Bullfrog car is awesome

26:25 I love this. Awesome show of sportsmanship from Bill Elliot's crew. But then again, BP was such a great person and driver, he likely could have pulled into any pit stall and had that done without a second thought from the crew.

Bill Elliott pretty much won everything in 1985 except for the championship. Darrell Waltrip won that.

love the way the cars wiggle around on the old bias ply tires

My all time favorite race...no question....was a Harry Gant Fan and sad he didn't win at the time but Elliott's stamp on history and the exponential growth of the sport was sparked by Winston Million...the drama of this race unforgettable.... Winston invested their money correctly in this advertising campaign.

3:18:35 The first year of the Winston million Bill Elliott wins and makes history!

Earnhardt and Cale sure gave Elliott a run for his money that day!

Thanks for sharing a good day in racing history.

That one race a year Bob Jenkins doesn't call for ESPN, and it had to be THIS ONE.

The good ole days

This race had two important memories for me. It was my first time attending a Nascar race. Prior to it I did know a little about stock cars and the drivers like Petty. Allison and David Pearson. I saw the Daytona 500 that started this season and first heard about this Awesome driver named Bill from. , I didn't know that. Some friends that were going to this race were looking for a driver to take them and more important get them back home. I offered my services but being one that liked a good stiff drink was immediately rejected. No ... wait never been to a race and wanted to go.see what the big deal was. Ok , we sat in Wallace stands on then the back stretch . When race time started and cars made pace / warm up laps they dropped the green and we were racing. I had Cale in our pool and remember first green lap as they came by. As the race laps were made , I began to notice one car that every lap.coming out of turn 2 was sideways ( loose I'd later learn) He was running in lead or up near and had a yellow and blue , I believe a Chevrolet and number 3. He kept staying ahead and sliding more then I realized he wasn't out of control.but driving harder , trying to stay ahead. When I could ask and hear. I asked a buddy who the driver of that 3 car is. Dale Earnhardt was the answer. I said from now on , he's my driver cause he s a driving fool. Lol. I saw my first race , became what's known as a race fan and learned of a driver , Earnhardt was his name and so became that an Earnhardt man. My life and the most priority changed and I may have missed 2 maybe 3 races not listening to MRN , watching on.ESPN or whatever or sitting/ standing in the stand here , or the Rock, or Charlotte after this race till Daytona in 2001. Hell of a ride .

the birth of million dollar bill

who's here after Chase Elliott won the Championship

Great channel love these old races.

It would be another 10 years and some change before his son and future CUP Series CHAMP was born.

Seeing AJ with a yellow stripe. You know he hated that!

I was there!! Awesome Bill.

this is when racing was good

17:09 Some guy in dark blue wandering around the track picking up bits and pieces.... gotta love pre-hi-vis safety crew!!!

You have to do is listen to earnhardts interview at 3:10 he tells you bills aint doing nothing but riding. Didn't nobody have nothing for Bill on them big tracks in them days, he was in another league.

1:57 I sure do miss the days when Nascar wasnt boot kissing the PC crowd.

His 9 on the roof looks like a G. In the 90's I know he had the 94 turned 180 degrees so his spotter could see the number because on from the pits it would look like this h6. From the stands the roof number here looks like a lower case A or a.

@57:10 Neat personal interview with Bill by Benny Parsons in this video. :)

make owner/driver great again.

3:22:30 the musician Bill Elliot

Rusty giving NASCAR and Phil Parsons "the business" after Phil blew a tire - no school like old school

Bill running a cleveland engine and Cale running a windsor engine which is to become the engine of choice untill the FR9 came out.

Ring the fire whistle

You could hear Elliot letting off the nitrous alot of times on turn 1. That howling laser sound. Its probably why AJ was there

Bill Elliott racing with his infamous " e bird"

Why was Bob Jenkins not at this race?

Larry Nuber thinks Cale Yarborough is foxy 1:45:00

Love seeing the Confederate flag at these old races

2:48:39

Tell me someone got that hat that blew off his head on the track

The hay day of NASCAR. Grown men, not boys. When fights happened, people got hit in the mouth not just a bunch of nipple bumping and talk. All makes of cars with actual car bodies being sold at that time, Goodyear and Hoosier tires. Makes me laugh at the degradation to what is left of NASCAR.

Man, this track would beat the crap out of the cars and drivers. I bet the wimps of today couldn't handle it with out crashing every lap.

Dave’s Allison’s bad wreck
