Cale overcame a 3 lap down deficit to go for the lead in the 79 Daytona. It was very exciting to watch him, my first car race I’ve ever watched. The fight afterwards cemented him as my favorite driver until he retired.
I was a big fan of Cale’s as a kid. He was a fan favorite for a lot of folks. He really added a lot of color and personality to NASCAR. RIP to a great race car driver!

Donnie Allison totally cut him off and caused that wreck. Supposedly when asked later, Yarborough said it was a fair fight, there were two Allison brothers and he had two fists. 😄
I remember seeing a NASCAR race on the television back in about 1966 or '67, it seems. I don't recall which race it was but I think it was Cale Y. who got airborne and sailed over the wall and the chain link barrier. It seems like it was coming out of turn four---wherever they were racing, but that was such a long time ago. I just remember wondering how far it was to the ground on the other side of the chain link. It musta been one helluva stop when he hit.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
I was watching that race! Pretty climatic ending. Probably gained a lot of NASCAR fans that day! 😉 memtb

I was probably wedging my skinny butt into the bed of a metal Tonka dump truck and riding it down a steep hill in 19 and 79 Mama said “boy ya dont eat enough to keep a bird alive”
