I hope they have another one on this coming Sunday !

Absolutely. I love watching 1960's NASCAR. It's pretty easy to find full races on YouTube and other platforms. It was so, so different back then. Yeah, some races were won by five laps or more, before the "debris" cautions and other contrived means to keep them packed together, but the racing was pretty darn exciting. And the characters who were racing were something else. Good clean fun...
