@@tybarrington3995 I race go karts it’s fun but last weekend somebody wrecked me and I need to get a new body so a table sounds like a good idea and I have done it it works really well and I love it
Thats really cool that Mario's Holman & Moody car won all those races. I knew D.W.'s first cup car was that chassis with a different body, but not that it won so much. I built a dirt 71' LeMans that everybody who ever drove it won in it. I really enjoy your videos. We learn all kinds of interesting facts. Keep them coming Brother. Thanks.
Not gonna lie, I really enjoyed this series so much! It made me know more about the stories of each individual NASCAR car. Good job! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next installments of this awesome series.
I actually own a ex superspeedway car, not sure of it's original team, but was told Junior Johnson had it. It's a aero coupe Monte and Sonny Gupta drove in ARCA.
A lot of times, the best way to follow the history of an old car is to search newspaper archives and see if they mention a driver running the same car at the next superspeedway race. I did a quick search and I don't see any mention that Bobby drove it again at Daytona two months later. Maybe they rebuilt it or sold it to someone else. Couldn't find any real answer
@@nascarmanHistory bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-buick-lesabre/ According to the listing, this is apparently the 87 car that hit the catch fence at Talladega and was repaired and has been with a private owner in Alabama since 1993. It didn't sell at auction so it's probably still with that same owner. The sellers account is 'BrewerRacing' maybe former Crew Chief and analyst Tim Brewer owns it?
There used to be an ARCA and Late Model Dirt Racer in Columbus, Ga or Phenix City, Al Glenn Brewer. I believe he was Tim’s brother. Glenn had a Talladega speedway car at one time.
@@TehEviarg Several pictures from that auction show "Steve Brewer DMD" on the side of the car. Quick google search shows a dentist practice by the same name in Fort Payne, Al.
I worked on the 87 in 1993 and ran it at both Pocono ARCA races finishing 11th in July, it was turned into a Lumina returned to Daytona for the 1994 ARCA 200, DNQ for the race and Joe stopped racing after what happened during Speedweeks that year. Last time I saw it was at the shop in Florence, MA
Thank you for the additional information. I remembered BP mentioning the car's history in that '92 ARCA finale broadcast (and passed it on) but could never find anything about it after that. I assumed he ran it again at Pocono but had no solid evidence.
@@SimRacin14 Your welcome, I really enjoy this series. In 1993 we ran two cars that season, the Monte Carlo at Pocono and an Oldsmobile that had been purchased from Morgan-McClure Racing that was used as the High Speed car at Daytona, Michigan, and Atlanta (DNQ, crashed in qualifying, and I believe that killed that car, that also necessitated making the Monte Carlo a Lumina for '94 because I think '93 was the last year you could run that generation of Monte sheetmetal. It was cool to see that car on the screen and go, hey I know that car.
Nice documentary. Almost all of those cars have umpteen lives, a friend in upstate NY has a 2000-ish cup Monte Carlo that somebody last ran ARCA with, but some bondo chunking off on the side revealing older paint, and a couple decals inside, imply it was an Andy Petree #55 originally. Never have been able to find out anything firm. Car changed hands a couple times up here before he got it, I was surprised to see it because I'd seen it for sale in a driveway on a back road maybe a year before. He has another one with no body that the guy he bartered with to get it claimed was a Petty car, but it's not even clear what make it was built as, it has a ton of post-Nascar alterations.
I saw a video from RCR about all the 3 cars in the museum. Jerry Haley said that the 86 Wrangler Monte Carlo was raced all the way up to 1995 and it clinched several championships. It’s amazing that a chassis can be used for that amount of time and still be so successful. If I recall correctly I think chassis #5 had the most wins on it and it’s in the museum but I can’t recall which car it is up there.
That was a very good episode man. I learned a few things I never dreamed of. I guess after Benson wrecked the car the last time. The frame was Bent and would never steer true ever again. That Bobby Hill wreak was was very exciting. Flip's the car six or seven times. I think they should be aloud to do this to there cars, nowadays. That M&M's car was nice and went missing. That Pontiac Benson had was scary fast in 2000. I miss Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile.
I believe some teams in ARCA took their steel bodied cars, wrapped OVER the existing paint scheme, and raced them. I think Hillenburgs' #1 that ran as recently as IRP in 2019 was a former Denny Hamlin FedEx Monte Carlo.

I cut the roll cage out of a Jimmy Spencer McDonald's junior Johnson owned car. It was a Daytona car, it had some trick chassis work on it. But at the time it was just junk so we put the cage in a 4 door cavalier and raced in the fwd class at Shelby NC fairgrounds. The car was sold several times, the cage is now in an Acura Integra, saw it race a few years ago at East Lincoln speedway.
Great job! Never knew Bobby Allison drove the #11 Fairlane let alone won races in one. Other interesting stories too, especially the Johnny Benson one!
My son has a diecast of Cole's 10 car that he dropped and knocked the rear clip off of it. I found it comical that I just seen an actual image of the real car on the track with the rear clip knocked off of it. There are no coincidences.
I raced a "mini Modified" on dirt that we believe was a old Daytona Dash Series car that ended its life on dirt. You could tell it was a Speedway car by the the way it was built and the tin work.....
With all this content on here I don't see why nascar doesn't just start a streaming service with all the old races,old interviews,and shows like this would be great
I don't know if anyone has posted this question, but how about the Blue Max car Rusty Wallace drove called Samson? If my memory is correct(a hit or miss deal, lol), the car was built as a Monte Carlo by the Joel Halpern race team for David Pearson in 1981(one of the early '81"downsized" chassis). When Halpern was killed later that year, the car was bought by another team, or sold directly to Raymond Beadle. Possibly the MC Anderson team? Whatever the trail it took, it ended up in the Blue Max race stable as a Pontiac(as a Lemans, then a Grand Prix), and was used by Tim Richmond, then Rusty Wallace with good success in the late '80's. The reason I remember the car is an article in Winston Cup Scene that documented the years-long lineage of this particular car and the fact such an "old" chassis was still a winning one.
Oh what I wouldn’t give to find that #28 Hardee’s ride of Yarborough’s. Always loved that car, was that the same one he hit 200MPH during qualifying then flipped the next lap?
If you can get in touch with Sebastian LaForge, ask him about the old Yates car Carter 2 Motorsports used in ARCA up until the team shut down in 2015. They had one nicknamed "The Mule," I can't remember if that was the Yates car though. But anyway, that car dated back to the Ernie Irvan/Dale Jarrett era at Yates, I believe it first ran in 1996 or 97. He talked about it a lot on the old Rubbin's Racin' forums but sadly it doesn't appear that any of that content is archived.
I’m currently restoring a Monte ss cup car. I haven’t been able to track down any info on who raced it. Laughlin chassis painted red, aero coupe body, when I stripped it I found black, teal blue, and two different yellows. I was told it raced in the sportsman series and Busch north at one point. I haven’t found any chassis stamping either. One day I’ll find out who raced it. Great videos!
This is absolutely fantastic, thank you for uploading! I really enjoyed that. Do you know the current whereabouts of Ward Burton's 2002 winner? It's one specific car I've always been curious about
Thanks...one of the few NASCAR vids that was actually interesting. When I was young, it was always about the cars...not the drivers anyway, so this series is far more interesting to me then the personality driven WWF smackdown they've turned NASCAR(and pretty much all of auto racing) into.
I know that the car Dexter Bean drove at the 2008 ARCA race at Daytona is the same car Mark Martin finished 2nd with at the Daytona 500 the previous year.
9:26 I found something else about the car before Bob Hill went behind the wheel of it Around June-July 1995, a guy named Junior Green apparently ran that chassis in the NASCAR Sportsman Division (the one from the early 90s) in both Pocono Races that year, with an old Monte Carlo body. This is mentioned by Eli Gold in the July race broadcast (here is the clip: th-cam.com/video/48kG-Fwuzpw/w-d-xo.html ) Junior didn't ran the remaining 2 races of the 1995 Sportsman schedule so I guess at some point after July he may have sold the car to Clement or something
5:30 who else feels that NASCAR should have a few races where they use old style cars? Maybe like a different era of vehicles each other year. Make this part of the series like on the short tracks or the roval have the roval use Monte Carlos and Thunderbirds. Anyone else feel like this would be a neat idea and would make the racing better again? (Toyota can enter the celica/supra from the early 80's)
It's on display at Talladega. It's painted the traditional Bud #8 scheme. It's in as race conditioned. It doesn't have an engine it it. I believe Junior won the last of the four in a row at Dega with it. I think he won like 6 or 7 plate races with it.
My belief is that Teresa has it. Dale Jr said that she has a lot of Dale Sr's stuff including: cars, trophies, and other belongings. So I wouldn't be surprised if that was true
I have heard that it's in a storage unit somewhere, but I also heard that it was destroyed after the investigation into the accident... all I know is that Kevin Harvick did not drive that particular car ever
Them cars would have all been salvaged and be sitting in a museum it was up to me, them race teams just kept on racing them chassis till they was plum worn out...
Wow i never knew that sheet metal can just be slapped onto an old body. It looks like the only time the term "Stock Car" is appropriately used is in the 1940s and 50s. The only stock car that can be used today is in drag racing 😂
Actually the Car DJ won the 2000 Daytona 500 did compete before the 2003 500. DJ drove it one more time in 2002 in the 500, they even talked about it during Daytona 500 Qualifying that year.
I wonder if the 1990 daytona 500 can be rebuilt.....Marlins 95 daytona 500 winni ng car was destroyed in the horrific crash at the 1996 race at talladega with Dale earnhardt but was completely rebuilt....wonder if Derek copes car can have the same good fate
This is the mew NASCAR, It should go like this . --you get 1 car per track style, 1 back up car as well per tracl style.---- this saves $$$$$ ----limit up grades to allowing upgrades 4 times quarterly thorugh out the season.--$$$$ ----all modifications or up grades are allowed just 4 times at specific times quarterly. --- ---These things will keep cost down for teams I think it would keep racing and the roots.
"Johnny didn't want to loose the car that nearly won the daytona 500"
"Oh cool did he restor-"

9:26 I found something else about the car before Bob Hill went behind the wheel of it
Around June-July 1995, a guy named Junior Green apparently ran that chassis in the NASCAR Sportsman Division (the one from the early 90s) in both Pocono Races that year, with an old Monte Carlo body.
This is mentioned by Eli Gold in the July race broadcast (here is the clip: th-cam.com/video/48kG-Fwuzpw/w-d-xo.html )
Junior didn't ran the remaining 2 races of the 1995 Sportsman schedule so I guess at some point after July he may have sold the car to Clement or something
Great video!

I have always wondered what happened to Dale juniors 2001 Pepsi 400 car. Anyone know?
The side sheet metal is on Dale Jr's podcast studio wall. Most likely sold off or reskinned and collecting dust locked away at DEI.
It's on display at Talladega. It's painted the traditional Bud #8 scheme. It's in as race conditioned. It doesn't have an engine it it. I believe Junior won the last of the four in a row at Dega with it. I think he won like 6 or 7 plate races with it.
What happened to dale’s 2001 car, like to know what they do to those cars
I always wondered about that as well
My belief is that Teresa has it. Dale Jr said that she has a lot of Dale Sr's stuff including: cars, trophies, and other belongings. So I wouldn't be surprised if that was true
I have heard that it's in a storage unit somewhere, but I also heard that it was destroyed after the investigation into the accident... all I know is that Kevin Harvick did not drive that particular car ever
@Seven Deuces I guess he buried it to keep souvenir hunters from getting it
I've heard that Richard Childress got the car back from NASCAR and had it buried in an undisclosed location on his property somewhere.
The one car I'de like to know what happened too is Cales 1983 winner the Pontiac show car.
Keep up the good work..
Them cars would have all been salvaged and be sitting in a museum it was up to me, them race teams just kept on racing them chassis till they was plum worn out...
Love this series
This is a pretty Kick-Ass series.
kinda cool one of these in in my little town car museum
Damn I want a old ass race car now
Wow i never knew that sheet metal can just be slapped onto an old body. It looks like the only time the term "Stock Car" is appropriately used is in the 1940s and 50s.
The only stock car that can be used today is in drag racing 😂
Actually the Car DJ won the 2000 Daytona 500 did compete before the 2003 500. DJ drove it one more time in 2002 in the 500, they even talked about it during Daytona 500 Qualifying that year.
Sterling Marlin’s 1994 Daytona 500 winning car is now on display at City Garage Car Museum in Greenville, TN.

Good video, my friend.
Where do people even put the junked race cars? I'm not sure if there are that many auto junkyards where I live.
I wonder if the 1990 daytona 500 can be rebuilt.....Marlins 95 daytona 500 winni ng car was destroyed in the horrific crash at the 1996 race at talladega with Dale earnhardt but was completely rebuilt....wonder if Derek copes car can have the same good fate
I wonder how many of those cars had Robert Ghee bodies on them. He was the best body man in nascar
good ol marty pringle that car in iowa is still there
This is the mew NASCAR, It should go like this .
--you get 1 car per track style, 1 back up car as well per tracl style.---- this saves $$$$$
----limit up grades to allowing upgrades 4 times quarterly thorugh out the season.--$$$$
----all modifications or up grades are allowed just 4 times at specific times quarterly. ---
---These things will keep cost down for teams I think it would keep racing and the roots.

Anyone here think that any of the NASCAR cars of today will still be racing in the next 10-15 years? I don't.
Apropos of nothing: that’s a great in-car camera angle at 9:47.
