I really really love watching these old Nascar races a whole whole lot and I am still big Nascar fan for a long long time and I still watch Nascar greatest races
I can'tunderstand what they were thinking when they dropped this track. We don't have this kind of tracks now. This would be different track which is what we need nowadays. The same with Rockingham. I'm not saying all the 1.5 mile tracks have to be dropped, but i would certainly not have 2 races in Kansas and Las Vegas. Short track racing is just better. Although the racing was awesome in this event, watching this makes me kinda sad, knowing this track would be dropped in a couple of years. Anyway, thank you very much for this.
NASCAR got what they wanted which was a more diverse fan base. Unfortunately, trying to be all things to all people hasn’t worked well in the long run. They’ve even mentioned dropping Darlington completely as well. I’m so thankful for these old races. What NASCAR has become makes me want to vomit.
smith co-bought this track with Bob Bahre. Bahre transfered a weekend to nhms (which he owned at the time) smith transfered the other weekend to texas.
@@SwineBrothers Well, I know what their wanted to do, and I mainly meant that it's incredible how they could abandon such a great track and replace it with other, less interesting tracks. I'm aware that this track had its problems and that they played a part in its demise, but man, but it is a great shame.
By the way, I recently learned that the Wilkesboro circuit has been abandoned / closed for a while? 01:55 I love, i love the intro credits really who say "ESPN...." that rocks !!! 17:21 Tedd was lucky from the start of the race not to have the car wrecked on his spin . 01:28:18 Hooooo..Jimmy Spencer, as we say in french " Jimmy a fini dans les choux " ! 01:31:09 "lmao" sacred Spencer "mdr" Vengeance !!! jajajajaja. 02:13:00 the two definitely don't like each other ! "mdr" obviously just kidding for Spencer ! I have a lot of respect for Jimmy Spencer really, as a pilot who was to the time !. Personaly , i played at the time on the Playstaion 1, i played on NASCAR 98 , Iloved really this game ! and I used the Mc Donald sponsored car very often in the game.

Spencer was having a good race. Schrader as well. Either one could have won, if they didn’t get together. They both had long cup careers, with only a couple of wins between them.
Did Geoff Bodine ever finish a race he didnt win? Geoff, Brett and Todd would crash or fall out of race after race I cant believe how often they were in trouble.

Damn Nascar for abandoning this speedway. A damn shame that it is rotting.
AMEN BROTHA.
Who would have the funds to raise this track from the ground again? Damn shame it's going to waste.
Mark Meadows Nascar can still help re build it hell they have the money. There still the most watched motor sport in the country.
But will they? That is the question.
Mark Meadows who knows but right now great history is rotting
I was at this race at North Wilkesboro Speedway in 1992,1993 and 1994.

TheFlagstand IIRC, Bruton Smith bought NHIS & this track, transferred one weekend to NHIS, & transferred the other date to Texas Motor Speedway.

They weren't thinking, thats the whole point.
FRAM Filters "You can pay a little now, or a LOT later" .... Dang that almost sounds like a threat 😆

Benny Parsons gives his backstory as a young farmer. Sports doesnt get more down to earth than that
Ned: I wonder how the Cow felt?
Bob: YEAH REALLY. Boy the guys were funny together.
They were special
Terry Labonte's 1st win since the 1989 DieHard 500 at Talladega
One very quick rooster
Damn shame that this track is no longer on the schedule just falling apart
Now the track has come back to life, as it will host the 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race.
Spencer was having a good race. Schrader as well. Either one could have won, if they didn’t get together. They both had long cup careers, with only a couple of wins between them.
I was at that race 1994, and 1996
Te race that basically launched Labonte’s Hendrick resurgence
Did Geoff Bodine ever finish a race he didnt win? Geoff, Brett and Todd would crash or fall out of race after race I cant believe how often they were in trouble.
He came in 7th. Solid finish.

Who was that guy that was in victory Lane after every race.

That's Bill Broderick , he was very instrumental in making Victory Lane a more organized and enjoyable celebration.
