Video: NASCAR’s golden age
Jim Hunter, Vice-President of Corporate Communication, commenting on NASCAR's golden age of competition and the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. He talks about:
- how much tougher competition is today in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series and how hard it is for a team to win a race.
- how much deeper the fields are for today's NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races.
- how the number of different winners per season has increased dramatically over the years.
- how using the rules to level the playing field for drivers and teams has helped foster excellent competition.
- how unlikely it would be for a driver to win upwards of 20 races like Richard Petty did in 1971 when he won 21 races in a single season.
- how big of an event the first Allstate 400 at the Brickyard was and how big the event continues to be.
