1981 Daytona 500 Complete Broadcast – Custom Blu-ray

Relive the legendary "gas-and-go" gamble and Richard Petty's historic seventh victory at the Great American Race with this custom-authored Blu-ray release.

The Race That Redefined Daytona On February 15, 1981, the Winston Cup series debuted a completely new generation of "downsized" cars. The garage was filled with uncertainty as the 110-inch wheelbase vehicles took to the high banks for the first time. Bobby Allison looked absolutely untouchable, leading 117 laps in his sloped-window Pontiac. But with 27 laps to go, crew chief Dale Inman made the ultimate strategic call. As the leaders pitted for tires, Inman called Petty's #43 STP Buick in for a blistering 7.8-second fuel-only stop, putting The King out front to hold off the field and secure his historic win.
