Tremendously great vintage NASCAR

I love watching the racing footage from the early 70’s. If a car bumps a wall you simply pull out some hammers and bend things back into place, then race again. Nowadays if a insect makes contact, plastic is flying, dogs barking, babies crying. Not to mention I really can’t tell what manufacturers are even out there, since they look identical. For all know a Prius could be winning these days. Also appears modern drivers are just literally kids, in their early 20’s. I’m sure it takes much skill and serious balls to race at these speeds, but watching Ford, GM, and Chrysler cars dueling it out in the past almost brings tears to my eyes. Big blocks, leaded gas, and just raw horsepower! Thanks for the great footage and pictures guys!
