In the day, showing a race from BRISTOL perhaps back in early 70's?? There ain't nothing around that track, only about 20 seats!! You can SEE the hills around the track!

It was from 1973, Cale Yarborough in the 11 car led ALL 500 laps...green to Checkers...the ONLY driver to ever do that!

One thing I'm noticing about all these back in the day races is that they actually raced! No single file stuff, they were beating and banging and trying to win every lap. And as it should be according to Bud Lindemann, boy was he a great announcer.

The pitstops were funny, they spilled more fuel on the ground than a GWC would take today. The paper cup drink and the smoking in the pits was amazing.

Trackside Live is on now. 35 degrees. Brrrrrrrr
