Elliott just put his foot down and drove away from everyone else. He
would have lapped the field if not for the caution.

Was wondering if this race 1986, 1987, and 1988 were ever broadcasted
and if they are on YouTube?

Its unknown if 1985 and 1986 were shown on TV, no footage has ever
surfaced from those. 1987 and 1988 were both shown on CBS but they're
not on youtube.

I actually remember a YouTube channel having 1986-88 I do believe for
some time, but unfortunately, it was either deleted by the user, the
user closed it's channel, or YouTube terminated the channel. I do
remember seeing some races, including a couple of Busch Clashes that
were also removed.

Nascar's TV deal must've tanked in 1985 for some reason. I haven't found
any videos of the 125's that year, & apparently the Winston 500 from
Talladega wasn't broadcast, either

The Winston 500 was shown on NBC in 1985. It was only about 30 minutes
of highlighted coverage however.

I don't think the Twin 125s were televised this year. If so, it would
make them the last Cup races to be untelevised.
