I love watching the pit stops on these old races. About a dozen pumps on the jack handle to raise the car, fuel in what looks to be the same kind of cans I use for my lawnmower, adding oil, half-minute stops being amazing. I love the old NASCAR where they raced cars bought off dealer showrooms and running engines you could buy from the factory. STOCK cars -- yeah, buddy!

This was from "Wide World Of Sports", and I suspect it was the second time they taped and broadcast (via an edited videotape) the Daytona "500". I suspect the race was telecast the following weekend. The play-by-play commentator was Bill Flemming; in the pits was Chris Economaki, who for decades was a pit reporter for various auto racing telecasts, usually on ABC. Economaki was also editor of an auto racing magazine called National Speed Sports News.
