When NASCAR was cool

Back in day, before big dollar sponsors and C of T, NASCAR consisted of a bunch of rednecks driving like bats outta hell. No drafting, no HANS devices, no strategies - just balls to the walls racing...

I'm not hatin' - completely - on NASCAR. It still is a redneck sport - the only national one. But I've seen a lotta changes since the late 70's - when I first started watching. It's just not the same - and not as good.
