1973 Southeastern 500

Is there a catch fence in front of the grandstands? I sure as hell don't see one.

Yes there is. It's pretty slim looking, though.

any chance of uploading 1979 Southeastern 500 (dale sr. first win)?

Notice the announcer calls all Chevys Monte Carlos.  Also, Bobby Allison's car is both a '72 MC and later a  ' 73 Malibu.  They used old footage to show some action.

Is this the only time that someone led a Cup race wire to wire from the pole?

Is this the only race in to-level NASCAR racing to be suspended and then finished at a later date?

Car #31 Jim Vandiver was seen in the footage, but was not in this particular race adding credence to the comment about footage from a previous race. I'm not sure why Bud Lindeman of Car and Track let this happen. For the most part, his production of racing events was impeccable.

cales car was a chevelle

the footage of bobbys coke monte carlo was from 1972 when he drove it for junior

Cale was a great champion a real man

I liked Cale as a kid. Then I like Dale Sr. and Kyle Petty then Dale Jr. and Tony Stewart. also Martin Truex Jr. and Matt Kenseth. Other series I always liked Ron Hornaday Jr. and Elliot Sadler. I know nobody cares but just commenting. I feel like Nascar has just about run it's course. I love all racing. I've raced both Dwarf cars on dirt and Legends on asphalt and really enjoyed my time in the driver's seat and that gave me respect for all race car drivers.

There prolly wasnt a ticket sold for this race, that cost over 20 dollars

🇺🇸thanks from John Robert Bruffett Junior of United States of America!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cale is driving a 1973 Chevelle S3 Laguna.

Awesome

Cal won by 2 laps over Petty. Bobby Allison 3rd, 5 laps back, Marcis and Parsons 4th and 5th, a mere 16 laps behind. Cale lapped everyone else 1 out of every 5-6 laps. Yawn.

Jr. had that car dialed in and Cale was up on that wheel. They won three cup titles in row. Impressive.

Would love to put today’s drivers in these cars and watch them struggle around Bristol.

The winner received $5,765.00.

Yes Bud, Cale ended the race an hour early, 2 week's late, right on time! 😂
Every old race fan owe's a debt of gratitude to Ol' Bud. His many tv show's like this one, were many time's the only way folk's outside the South Eastern part of the Country got any information on Cup race's 😉👍

Cale dominated! Jr. Had his secret set up. Jet fuel ⛽️ and moonshine. A mechanical genius! Announcer says that Cale was driving a Monte Carlo . Cale was driving a ss Chevy Chevelle Laguna. My dad had a 73 ss a very rare car. It had those big 5 mph bumpers that the government required.
