Although just under 2 minutes long, this is a neat piece of footage, which I've watched many times. My understanding is that its from the movie Redline 7000. This movie was released in 1965, directed by Howard Hawkes. Given the movie was released in 1965, I assume most of the filming was done in 1964, making this Galaxie a near new race car, yet its already pretty beat up looking.
The title for the Youtube link says Junior Johnson is doing the driving. Junior did have “Holly Farm Poultry” sponsorship during this time, but he isn't credited for doing any of the stunt work that I can find. I assume thats actor James Caan in the final segment returning to the pits, as he stars in this flick, but I don't know who is tearing up the track in the high speed segment.
