Contrary to NASCAR claims, he broke 200 MPH at the (high bank) Texas World Speedway near College Station, Texas.
Modern NASCAR doesn’t care about records.
My first race I saw on ABC ‘s Wide World of Sports I saw a segment of Buddy Baker winning the National 500 and I became a Baker fan for life.👍
They looked like street cars because they basically were street cars. It even still has operable vent windows and 1/4 window glass still in place.
And to top it off, they went 200mph with NO power steering. Power steering wasn't in cup cars until 1981.
Bobby Allison broke it first.
Buddy Baker was a man's man also real good in the booth calling races
Nascar would only let them Use one 750 CFM holley on them 426 Hemi if it had 2 holley's it would have been even faster
That was average speed. I'd like to see what his top speed out there was.
I personally wish NASCAR was about speed again. This is beautiful.
It’s even more beautiful that NASCAR uploaded the list 1970 race back in 2020!
Buddy Baker breaks 200 mph speed barrier boom
Key words, "testing session." Bill Elliott was the first NASCAR driver to do 200+ mph during a race.
🇺🇸💪
Laughcars golden moment was 75 years ago, the latest has been absolute crap.
Wish the cars were a little more like the '70's version but with some more safety features.
