Those Monte Carlo's were pretty much a factory body (with some massaging from an English wheel) on a race chassis. Chevrolet worked a lot with the race teams back then to make that Monte a potent racer. Great days in racing.

Finished 5th cause Dale drove the shit outta that Chevy.

I thought they were the flying aces... I may be wrong.. just asking for information.. this was the greatest times in racing in my eyes..

@@masoncole7331 The Flying Aces nickname came later with sponsor changes. The Black & White/ Lt Gray or Silver with the touch of Red...colors you find traditionally on playing cards...became the uniform colors as the team switched from Wrangler's Blue & Yellow to GM and the "One tough customer" promotion. On Dale Jr's Podcasts, Kirk Shelmerdine and others of the team saw themselves as underdogs even as championships came. I don't know if it was the broadcasters or GM promotions that came up with the nickname, regardless the crew saw themselves as Junkyard Dogs in terms of personality. You're not wrong remembering "The Flying Aces".

Very cool!! What position was he in?

@@trippylights2736 Pit crewman

@Engelsjr Polanco I think he meant the pit crews are faster today, but yes the cars back in the 80s were insanely fast.

No he didn't

@@jcearnhardt393 Then who did

No that was Jr Johnson,s team

Neil Bonnett and Darrell Waltrip drove the #11 and #12 Budweiser Chevrolet's for Junior Johnson.

Jacks and impacts weren’t the fastest back then. So that adds a little time.

Unlike today, with pit roads that can accommodate all the cars, there wasn't enough space at Riverside, and they're nosing in and backing out.
