Racing Replay: 1980 Southern 500

By John Calla

The 1980 Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway restarted with five laps to go with Benny Parsons leading David Pearson and Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt and Pearson traded the lead until a blown motor in front of the lead pack set “The Iceman” up for his first career Winston Cup win.

Jim Lampley and Sam Posey give the call for ABC.
