That's the trouble with an ever changing website.  Things appear and disappear too quickly.
 
Try this and see if it works.  There is a short commercial that will play before the story starts.

I couldn't find it either. I did a search and still missed it. I am guessing it was pretty cool to see.

Fox news has taken it off their website. I keep looking on youtube to see if it shows up there. It was really a cool video, especially when that silver 70 or 71 went down the deck. It had to be a BB coz it spun more in 2nd gear than first.

Here are videos from 1962 at our local track which is still being used today, Island Dragway in NJ. I looked to see if I was on it, since I was racing there in '62, a senior in HS. DaveM2007-10-13 05:22:14
