Without those two cautions the avg speed for the race would have easily been over 190.

@@jordanbrown4886 I've heard that Elliot's car was scaled down. I don't see how they could get around the templates and wheelbase rules. But if you look at his car and Yarborough's side by side the nose on Elliot's looks narrower as if the fenders are pulled in at the headlight doors.
@jordanbrown48864 ай бұрын
@@bbigjohnson069 so the wheelbase and body length had to fit the template. The width had more wiggle room. I believe the Elliotts narrowed the body within the rules for better aerodynamics. Other teams eventually caught on and if you watch a race from 87 the cars all look narrower.

@@jordanbrown4886 Waltrip mentioned it in his book but I don't recall if he felt it was true or not. I know Ernie Elliot did a lot of machine work with the cylinder heads particularly the combustion chambers that gave them more HP. If that's true about a narrower front nose that would add a few more mph. That and maybe 20-30 more HP would give him that advantage.
@jordanbrown48864 ай бұрын
@@bbigjohnson069 I've heard Ernie was an early adopter of cnc machining which allowed tighter tolerances in the engine. No idea if this is true. But I agree a combination of aero advantage as well as horsepower did it.

Bill Elliott is the only driver to ever come from 2 laps down to win a race without the aid of a caution
@robertstaley50495 ай бұрын
He was actually just short of two laps down but point taken. It was in the vicinity of five miles that he was behind and he came all the way back to the front without a caution. I had Bill in our race pool at work that day and actually was listening to the race while at work. Everyone was giving me a hard time when he came into the pits smoking and lost all that time !

I am from VA, grew up 15 miles from Richmond fairgrounds, we went to every race. We also a few times went to martinsville and Bristol which are all short tracks. My dad drove Tractor trailer and occasionally I would go with him. My dad decided we was going to Talladega race. I never forget walking into dega and seeing how big, I was a chevy fan back then more than a driver fan. To watch them cars go that fast I will never forget but my god when that #9 Ford came out of the pits he was 2 laps down and you had to be there to understand, but he was running that thing, it sounded like a jet coming by, he was running 223mph down the back straight away. He was actually sliding the car through the corners. Yes as a 54 year old man now. I love to sit and watch that ford again because all I can't really put into words what i seen that day. And they say that ford was built in little garage in Georgia
