Back when they were real cars, not cookie cutter mega dollar imposters, that can`t be told apart w/ no paint on them. Don`t watch since Chrysler pulled out-not interesting.

The King can do whatever he wants to! If I were him, that's just the way it would be!!

Richard was great, he didn`t spin people out to get around them, he out drove them, or out horse powered them. Unlike "dale bighead", he got killed by someone who did him like he did everyone else. He was the dirtiest driver I ever watched.

I think Kyle Busch is the most dirty driver out there.....at least he was for awhile if not now...finally. When you put someone into a wall on purpose when the caution is out and after your crew chief is yelling at you to "don't do it" several times on the radio, that tells me a driver has no respect for anyone and that's the way KB was and imo, he still has that garbage in him. IMO Dale killed himself trying to block plus not using up to date safety devices. Sterling Marlin "did him like he did everyone else" actually didn't do anything of the sort....it was all Dale. Watch the replay from all angles and and you will see Dale came down on Sterling but Sterling was 'there' and didn't have any time to hit the brakes or avoid Dale Sr. from doing that he did. Besides, if Sterling had hit the brakes trying to avoid Dale, think about what would have happened to all the others behind him. It was bad enough as it was....

Long live the KING
Best looking car in the field. Made those other cookie cutters look bad. They should be glad he didn't start romping on it. Most of those guys were in diapers or not even a gleam when he was there flirting with 200 MPH. You know, when it took BALLS. They should kiss the ground.

Those days ( the 60s up to the mid 70s) were the best for Nascar, drag racing.. Cars looked like what we all had. that was great marketing back then..
Not like now a days.. a Toyota looks like a chevy, ford, .

It should simply be called NAAR because the S and C mean nothing...and haven't for decades.

Thank you and I love it! I watched NASCAR every week in 67', and it is the reason I own a 67' GTX today.43 races that year, and he won 27 of them. He is the King!

I watched a documentary hosted by Richard, and he sat the whole time next to his Blue 67' Belvedere. He said that of all the cars he raced, that one was his favorite. Which explains why that is the one he chose to drive! I wish I could have seen the race and have Richard crank it up to 150 MPH or so for fun!
How fast did he go around the track?

Speaking of dirty drivers none of you must have ever seen the dirty little pooboy who wouldnt race you before using the chrome horn. He just drove up and dumped you.
"It was time to go".
And he had the blessing of na$car.
