Petty's worst crash (I think) from the 1970 Rebel 400, why they have window nets.

The best ambassador Nascar has or ever will have.Worst crash I can recall seeing there during the classic era. People don’t really appreciate how blessed we are as NASCAR fans to still have King Richard with us. He still gets to the track a lot, signs autographs for everyone, puts in lots of time promoting the sport at a senior age. He was TOUGH…that was a horrible impact into solid concrete. He’s lucky he didn’t lose his arm in the aftermath.
For the benefit of others,If there’s an elevator like Kansas has, we missed it.
No, no; that's called 'old school charm'! Y'all ain't from 'round heah, bless your heart...In person, I wasn’t a big fan of the facility. Seemed a but rundown ...
Sit in Brasington for the spring race, Pearson for the 500. Florence is closest but there's a lot more to do and eat in Columbia, barely an hour to the west on I-20. If camping, Lee State Park is barely 20 minutes away, also west on I-20.The Southern 500 is at or near the top of my racing bucket list. I’ve always wanted to go to Darlington
Columbia, South Carolina is where University of South Carolina is? If so, thanks for the tip. Trying to make it to the Indy 500 next year but if it falls through again, this one might be itSit in Brasington for the spring race, Pearson for the 500.

Yep, although the university is buried in the center of town. For easier access to the track, look for something on the northeast side of town. If you're making a longer weekend of it, Riverbanks Zoo and Congaree National Park are the popular sitesColumbia, South Carolina is where University of South Carolina is?
Regan Smith holding off the field on old tires, something that was as close to impossible as I've seen at a race.Seeing Erik Jones hold off Denny a few years ago was one of the best performances I've ever seen.
One of the biggest upsets in the history of NASCAR. 2011 was filled with upsets, and my favorite driver won the championship after a pedestrian regular season. A very memorable season, saw the finale live on stream.Regan Smith holding off the field on old tires, something that was as close to impossible as I've seen at a race.
I'll take Harrison. Recent form looks goodThis is my favorite track. The egg shape or difference between 1,2 & 3,4 is incredibile. The Darlington stripe, the speed, the lady in black that almost never forgives.
The tire wear the comers and goers.
Watching a car with a good set up just eat going through turns one and two.
As long as it isn't a caution fest it will be great.
I expect a typical a 25th from him (+25/-15 range)I'll take Harrison. Recent form looks good
Harrison Ford?I'll take Harrison. Recent form looks good
A lot of crashes of his resume.Harrison Ford?
I do love when you can take your ear plugs out on a long green flag run because the fall off has taken such a toll that the cars are noticeably less audible. Florence Speedway right down the road is a great little short track as well to watch a raceI’ll jump on the Darlington bandwagon for best joint to watch a race. You have the history, the summer heat, the “classy” race fans, and the beast of a track that eats tires and sends the drivers into the wall just for kicks. Watching those cars drive through 3 & 4 and down the front stretch is one of the “greatest spectacles in racing.”
You got to have good racing blood (and youth helps too) to attend the Southern 500!
The Southern 500 is notoriously grueling, with an average green flag run of 2 hours and 42 minutes — longest of all tracks in the Next Gen era — and an average heat temp of 89 degrees Fahrenheit
