Watching this in 2022 neil

Neil you were a class act!!!!!!

"Maybe we can win a Winston Cup Championship... I know that's a long ways away [...]" Yeah, three years. Long way, alright. ;) In less than 10 from here he'd be a 4-time champ. Such a great throwback video, as are the rest of your posts.

2022 ..damn! Neil would have been dead for 18 years!! Watching this reminds how NASCAR was in the early 90's ..miss ppl like Neil Bonnett

Wow, I never knew he got an offer to run for Cale Yarborough...these vids are great! It is not that weird to offer young drivers a shot at Cup, just at that time it was. It makes Tony Stewart's decision at a similar point in his stock car career to turn down Rick Hendrick seem pretty understandable. In both drivers cases, they ended up in better situations with Hall of Fame credentials. This interview was before he even won a race, let alone set a record for poles for a season.
