No doubt many of you have seen this. I don't usually surf YouTube and it's new to me. It's claimed to be 1969 but I'm certain that it's 1968 Daytona 500 qualifying. What I find fascinating about it is the number of cars shown, easily thirty different ones. There are more older cars than I would expect for the 500 so they must be late models. The race footage at the end is close to worthless but about 2/3 of the video was shot in the garage area.

8:40 with a classic country soundtrack

You're right, Andy. It's 1968. Richard is in the Plymouth with the vinyl top. He was in a Ford in 1969.

Thanks for adding the video. Awesome to see those fine race cars again.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Really good stuff. I particularly enjoyed seeing so many of the Late Model Sportsman cars. Thanks for posting.
