This race aired the same day Tim Richmond passed away. R.I.P Tim Richmond

Good grief I miss Speedworld.

NASCAR’s greatest years and greatest drivers.

What great announcing. So much knowledge. So well passed along to people new to the sport as well as to people who have been fans for years. What a great crew. So classy

2:15:00 Geoff Bodine has a crash pretty much identical to one that would demolish Tommy Kendall's legs and kill J.D. McDuffie just two years later.

44:48 Another classic Zerex commercial with Alan and Rusty

45:27 - seems real sad that they show J. D. McDuffie spin and then i hear BP say "[Rudd and Wallace] got killed on this....", was it just 2 years later J. D. would die at this race? I loved the independents and what they brought to Nascar, i miss them. God bless you J. D.

Jerry Punch should be in the nascar hof.

That intro is a master class of ESPN Speedworld magic!

The vintage Zerex ads are great! I still miss Alan Kulwicki.

Late 80’s Nascars were so cool

For a team sponsored by antifreeze, Kulwicki sure blew up a lot of engines

Not only was Tommy Kendall a good race car driver, but he had suitcase Jake as a crew chief, should have known he was gonna run good.

I also think it's kinda eerie that the 25 car gets the lead at 23:10, seeing the Folgers colors in the front on the day Tim died and at a track that Richmond was so good at was just too much.

Morgan Shepherd / Cal Naughton Jr on the pole for this one

That Fella did right by that Roger Miller tune.

Tim Richmond would’ve been a Winston Cup Champion....could win on every kind of track and was without a doubt the most talented road course racer in the entire field

Wild that back then people just stood in the pit stalls holding a sign. It seems like a pole with the sign on it would have been there from the start, but, it took a decades to happen.

When racing was racing!

First time watching the race and I'm a Dale Earnhardt fan it's 2023

1:17:35 Bob already warming up for the Wilkesboro finish

I had no idea that Bob Tullius ever ran cars in NASCAR, or that Jim Sauter drove for him.

2:18:07 Davey Allison working a double shift as Rusty Wallace's crew chief

Presents...SPEEDWORLD LIVE FROM MISS THAT MAN...that was the mpment to crack one🍺 open in the couch.

I've always wondered what would have been had Tim Richmond lived and not had Aids? What would have been if he'd been in the Folgers 25 instead of Schrader? I really think that what happened with Jeff Gordon in the 90's is about what we would have seen with Tim and Harry Hyde had Tim not gotten sick. The 25 car was the car I was for, from the first time I saw Tim Richmond in it in 1986. And I liked Ken Schrader, but I do think Tim was better. But if ya look at my screen name you'll see what I think about the situation, it's just sad...

First race I've watched with Bob Jenkins since it was announced he had brain cancer in Feb, 2021

13:44 there’s a dog in the car

Funny how they claimed here that Earnhardt wasn't as good on road courses, yet for his career his average qualifying position was best on road courses and average finishes was better than on superspeedways. Short tracks was his best

30 years later

Back when they actually used to wash the windshields.

Quaker state⚡ 🔥⚡ Kodiak

Old bias plys man they could sling those cars end of an era.

I did not expect Rusty to be taller than Rudd. Rusty always struck me as a short guy.

1:36:40 hat of the week time

8:21 it's true Jr

And Michael Waltrip... Being Michael Waltrip again lol.

14:41 race start

When did they start using the bus stop chicane? (at Watkins Glen)

Ned, Benny and Bob where the best... these clowns we have now (Waltrip's) are just imitators. These guys made the race enjoyable without a lot of Bullsh@t.

Beep beep hahaha

THE WALLICE THE BIRD CREW WINS

skip to 1:13

This race was a vivid example of how NASCAR was allowing Earnhardt to ignore the rules. He almost ran the official over who was holding his for the penalty. No repercussions. He ignores the order to pit again. No repercussion. He ran through the Waltrip pit and hit a crew member. No violation there! He literally bumped Morgan off the track obviously intentionally....again no violation there. Yet every time anybody else ever did any of these things it cost them the race. Earnhardt routinely wrecked other drivers. Twice when he did so it gave him a cup. Then he died bexauze he was blocking the field so his son and driver would win the Daytona 500. He was a great driver but NASCAR should never had let him cheat like that. Would have saved his life if NASCAR enforced the rules.

2:10:10

If you don't like Richard petty you don't Like nascar Earnhardt an petty we're the John Wayne an Clint Eastwood of nascar

Tim Richmond was an absolute winner, but I don’t see him being a champion. His death is sad and tragic, regardless. NASCAR lost a real star August 13, 1989.

Spoke too soon about Tommy...

Once again Dale Earnhardt gets away with cheating..LOL Going through cones and not staying put for 15 second penalty.

When did Chevrolet switch to Luminas? I thought is was 1990 And even the lineups show monte carlos? What’s going on is this even real?

This track was better without that stupid "bus stop". The high speed going with the original track configuration helped create a good passing zone. The moronic bus stop created a wrecking/passing zone. Which was not helpful to the cars or the drivers.
