I didn't realize how much I missed racing with Bob, Ned, and Benny calling it until I started watching these old recordings.

I watch these old races so I don't have to stomach modern day NASCAR.

RIP Bob Jenkins. What a talent.

So sad this was Davey Allison's last race at his home track

I was at this race. As I watched Ernie pass by after he took the checkered flag, I started hearing the strangest noise getting louder every millisecond. As I turned my head I see Rusty's car airborne right in front of me, with it kicking up dirt and slinging parts, sheet metal and tires flying off the car. Definitely one of the top 5 best races I ever saw in person.

Makes me tear up listening to Dale talk about Rusty, you can see that he's visibly shaken (something that almost never happened). Dale. I sure do miss you. I wish that you and Rusty could've both raced well into the early-2000s. Dale was a great man, and the best NASCAR racer I've ever seen. - Sincerely, a Rusty Wallace Fan *I remember the day that this crash happened..it was the worst one I ever saw RW get into.

Benny Parsons was a treasure. Miss that guy.

Bob Jenkins, Benny Parsons, Ned Jarrett, Jerry Punch, Jack Arute and John Kernan are broadcast royalty/hall of fame for sure. Additionally, guys in the TV truck like Mike Wells, Gary Clem, Neil Goldberg, Terry Lingner et AL are all hall of fame in their own right. Their work complemented the on air talent and enabled the excellent commentary through their work behind the scenes. Many of these folks had a reunion of sorts on the Versus/NBC sports Indy Car broadcasts (Clem, Lingner, Wells, Arute)and it was amazing to see the chemistry and talent they all still possessed. Very few likely saw their excellent work but they made Indy Car in the late 2000's watchable and even interesting on occasion.

The great Bob Jenkins, RIP sir!

7:58 "Watch This.. We Can't Keep-Up.. Just Watch It" .. lol >a memorable Benny Parson quote.

One of the best starts to a race ever!

These really were the good old days of NASCAR. The injuries/deaths weren’t good but the racing sure was. The cars are so aero sensitive now that usually one car lucks up and hits the setup while the rest suck.

Best opening laps I've ever seen!

So happy to find all these satelite feed races. They're just old enough that I don't remember any details about the results or interesting happenings so it's like watching a whole new race without having to watch the garbage that is today's nascar.

This is one of my favorite races of all time -- very underrated.

The 1993 Winston 500 was held on May 2, 1993, at Talladega Superspeedway and was the 10th race of the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Series. Davey Allison, (Number 28), Was Up Front Racing... Sadly, He Would Only Live 73 days and Die At An Early Age of 32 Years, 4 Months, 18 Days From A Head Injury From A Helicopter Accident Sustained at Talladega. This Was The 2nd NASCAR Driver To Die That Year, As Alan Kulwicki Had Been Killed Just One Month Prior To This Race On April 1, 1993, and He Was 38 Years, 3 Months, 18 Days, and He Had Won The 1992 Winston Cup Title. On the evening of April 1, 1993, NASCAR champion Alan Kulwicki was killed in an aviation accident when the Swearingen Merlin III twin turboprop he was traveling in crashed near Blountville, Tennessee, while on approach to the nearby Tri-Cities Regional Airport. Then Less Than A Year Later On Neil Bonnett, (48 Years, Months, 07 Days), Would Died In His Race Car on February 11, 1994 While Practicing For The Daytona 500. He Wore a Full Face Helmet, Which Dale Earnhardt Suspected Is What Snapped Bonnett's Neck and Why Dale Earnhardt Would Not Wear A Full Face Helmet. Then Just A Short Time Later, Ernie Irvan, (also in Car #28 as Irvan joined Robert Yates Racing as the replacement for popular Davey Allison), Wrecked and Had a a Basilar Skull Fracture and lung injuries and given only a 10% chance of surviving the night. He Survived, But It Was a Basilar Skull Fracture That Killed Both Neil Bonnett and Dale Earnhardt. An instantaneous basilar skull fracture causes the driver to suffer sudden death when the brainstem snaps loose from the spine. It Wasn't Until The Death Of Dale Earnhardt that the Hans Device Was Mandated. The HANS device is to keep the head from whipping in a crash, preventing excessive rotational movement as a secondary protection, without otherwise restricting movement of the neck. Davey Allison, Died on July 13, 1993, and His Younger Brother Clifford Allison, (27 Years, 9 Months, 24 Days), Both Sons Of Bobby Allison, Died During practice for the Detroit Gasket 200, a Busch Series race at Michigan International Speedway on August 13, 1992, Allison spun in turn four, hitting the concrete wall with the driver's side; he died shortly thereafter while in transit to hospital.

I like at the start when the field was three abreast they just let us watch and were quiet for a minute. That would never happen today.

Everything was better back then! Drivers & Announcers etc. I rather re-watch these races than watch current NASCAR!

This is exactly why NASCAR was so popular back then.They threw the red flag because they knew that's what the fans wanted.Incredible final 2 laps!

Love these RAW Satellite Feed races. Great stuff SMIFF TV

Ned Jarrett retired in 1966 as a driver, so never raced at Talladega. Talladega did not open until 1969.

1:52:16 You Big Liar

RIP Bob Jenkins and Benny Parsons.

Best time for racing. Miss it so much.

"ESPN! The Worldwide Leader in Sports!" Aye lads... many, many moons ago.

3:27 - (in qualifying) "the field is seperated by a little less than seven seconds" - i thought I was going crazy but realised he read seconds instead of mph!

7:03 “Jimmy Spencer had never led a lap here at Daytona”😂

Thanks for the# Benny. LUVYA 4EVER and a while. Motown Kid, you remember me you actually raised me from a pup. raised in Cherokee N.C.

It’s fun to hear Ned Jarrett set his stop watches during the breaks. Other things noted during the commercial breaks: - they mess with the thermostat a lot - Benny Parsons has a sore throat - really paid attention to Jimmy Hensley, Joe Ruttman, and Greg Sacks

Thanks for posting these races.

Great to see Ruttman and the #20 as well as Jimmy Spencer runnin with the leaders and gettin the finish

The 1993 Winston 500 at Talladega Superspeedway was the first ever live telecast of the 2nd leg of the Winston Million. The race was aired live, nationwide, and via-satellite for the first time on the GMA Rainbow Satellite Television Network on May 3, 1993 with a radio simulcast on DZBB 594 Radyo Bisig Bayan and Campus Radio 97.1 WLS FM

I was at this race as a 9yo, in the infield. IIRC we were at the end of turn 2? I just remember not being able to see Rusty's crash, but saw the smoke rising afterwards. I went to countless nascar races with my dad when I was a kid, and this one is the one that most stuck with me through my life.

Mark and Ernie working together to beat Dale is one of the most impressive drives of the 90s imo

I was there and I was so mad at Dale for hitting Rusty. It happened just in front of my seats

3:37:30 the only time you ever saw #3 shook up. Wow. The only race my dad took me to, we are from AL and he loved watching nascar every Sunday. We went to this one, I was 13. Had tickets right at s/f line. Worst sinus headache of my life. Absolutely miserable whole race. The rain delay they thought they were gonna call it.. everybody leaves to beat the traffic. Then we hear the end of it on the radio on the way home.😮

6:10 race start 1:42:57 first caution 1:54:29 second green flag 2:01:21 second caution 2:19:15 third green flag 2:34:57 third caution 2:45:36 fourth green flag 3:00:08 fourth caution 3:28:09 fifth green flag 3:29:25 end of the race Ernie Irvan wins and Rusty spins!

The world was so much better in 1993

This was about a month after Alan Kulwicki passed. He was my guy and I remember vividly the races afterwards.

I miss watching the old racing today racing isn’t the same.

These softy drivers we have today could never handle these beasts...

How the hell did Rusty survive that horrific frightening crash!! His car went the whole length of the straightaway field in the air, barrel-rolling at least 7 times by the end. 🤯 3:29:53

This would be Daveys last race at this track

Something I can really appreciate about these broadcasts, they talk about every driver out there as much as the other.. Earnhardt gets a little more attention but nowadays it seems like they fixate on one or two guys and say their name all race long. Especially when Danica was racing.

OLD NASCAR WAS SO MUCH BETTER

Yup my favorite weekend, beer n food

Sterling Marlin never had the class to go check on Dale every time he wrecked Dale.

I here from Stapleton's interview with rusty and midnight.. definitely a cool watch if you have not seen it.

People still say these guys weren't athlete's. I say step into a room that is 140F and do calisthenics for 3 hours.

Ja, das American NASCAR racing ist probably das most honorable American sport. :-) It definitely has das highest single event fan attendance of any other American sport.

This is when racing was the very best

I’m ready lol defending track champ at beckley

Davey's Last Superspeedway race!!

listening to this at work actually keeps me focused (minus this comment lmao)

Old NASCAR is so much better than new NASCAR. Was this a restrictor plate race?

Love the race

i believe these 3 men where the best nascar broadcasters ever all three coming over to ESPN once The Nashville Network went away

That's old version of crank it up and digger

The good old days, the golden age of racing!! When Earnhardt ruled Nascar.

good feed

This may sound a bit weird, but hear me out. You could make an argument that Mark Martin's pre-race electrical problem led to Rusty's crash at the end of the race. How? In the time it took them to go 1 more pace lap they could have gone 3-4 laps at full speed which, assuming the race had played out the same way, means the caution for rain would have come out on lap 183 or 184 and NASCAR never would have considered throwing the red flag at that point and let the race finish under caution thus avoiding Rusty's crash.

Dale has his hand out the window saying follow me boys we will all go faster

Leave it the pos Earnhardt Sr always causing wrecks nearly killing Rusty Wallace he is known for this behavior his entire career

Good ole days.

Super clean giveaway

I feel comfortable, practice.

I rem a kid watching a baseball game on big satellite tv and was had no commercial ..during break announcer saying test 123 tommy lasodor can u hear me testing testing. Ohh its working. Bout that time tommy lasodor said ...I JUST FARTED DID YOU HEAR THAT me and my parents were crying from laughing and 5 secs later commercial break was over they had to do bull pen shot cause announcers were laughing couldn't talk ........

Wish they showed what happened as the 3 car drove back up pit road. All the teams threw anything they could at his car. After the interview you can see his windshield cracked.

The best racing ever.

I was almost 3 when this race took place

AMAZING, The last races rocking the best drivers... unlike today, when the next best were losers,

Ernie Irvan's final win w/ the Morgan-McClure team

Huh the end of the coverage has them rehearsing highlighted versions of the coverage. Interesting.

Reason dale wrecked him is rusty tried block dale and clipped him ..dale had hell of a run coming and rusty was like ohhhhhh nooooo u don't ohhhh shit I shoukda stayed put

Hey SMIFF do you post qualifications of these races? I’d watch em all if you got em’, used to tape everything.

2:38:50 Morgan Sheppard 10 rolls of tape!!😂😂

What is 3/4 or 7/8 throttle, lol. This track is full power. Full throttle.

Greg Sacks prob would have had better luck as part of espn team 2:14:40

This was one of the two races that year that brought up the roof flaps thanks to Rusty Wallace's infamous flying barrel roll wreck. (3:29:53)

Boogedy Boogedy Boogedy. Benny parsons, Darrell waltrip. The best.

No shit all Hollywood now😢

When real men raced. Even Gordon back then is considered a real man compared to drivers today.

How is that possible, 2&28 came in a lap after 3&6….

I would have retired. But that's just me.dale started 2nd In points and finished 1st

Irvan was a bad ass driver. Had balls the size of coconuts. Love when he got in 28 car. To bad he never really got to his potential. He would of been one of the greats but got hurt. He did things in that 28 car that davey couldn't even do.

What's the race at Talladega where the guy goes over the wall?

2:36 - is that a Morgan McClure crew member/chief?

1:50:50 Larry Mcreynolds wasnt as polished but still made for tv!

Flat out through those restrictor plates.

1:50:51

3:29:46

Gordon picking his nose one last time.

Rusty thought he was finally gonna get his plate win, Sr's move for the lead right before the rain delay showed that Dale was just letting him have some fun... He coulda passed him whenever he felt like it...

12:36 😂😂😂

Imagine being Ned Jarrett in the booth trying to remain neutral as his son races for a Million Dollars and is leading lol. Ned Jarrett for president

For me, this will always be remembered as NASCARS greatest era. 1990-2000. FYI Earnhardt absolutely took out Wallace . Of course Dale was concerned afterwards because of the severity of the wreck, don’t make him out to be some kind of hero for stopping. He thought he killed Rusty!

Isn’t Stirling Marlin the driver of the number 4?

This was my first race live. We left at the red flag. Was sitting in the Talladega grandstand 10 rows from the track pretty much right in front of where Rusty's car stopped. Vowed never to leave a race early again and never did lol.

3:29:54 - WATCH OUT!
