Just going to post this... I only watched those races as reruns in the 90's and early 2000's. Entertaining to watch them battle it out in REAL stock cars. RIP

R.I.P. Cale. A hero of early Nascar racing. That junk is unwatchable now.

RIP! Losing more of the REAL NASCAR drivers. Party hardy before the race, drive the race, party hardy after. No cool suits, depending on the era no power steering, tough tough dudes who could use their brains and talent to succeed on and off the tracks.

He was tuff, one hell of a race car driver. Won 83 times, to his credit with stats & determination succeeded in living 84 years, hung in there to beat the 83 wins.

Godspeed Mr. William Caleb “Cale” Yarborough
