I was 21 yrs.old n sittin' some where in the infield with my friends n we where all there, we knew a friend that works as a tire changer for Morgan Sheppard!!
One thing you need to understand. These teams were not supported or affiliated by Cup teams. In some cases, such as Dale, he owned his team. And the series ran more short tracks which kept Cup drivers from competing because of the Cup schedule.
@@dylanbrod429 No worries, Nascar history is a wonderful thing. Yes the Sportsman cars became a series in 1974 when Winston came on board and set up Winston Racing Program. This awarded track champions a 1000.00 payout at 60 selected tracks. The sportsman cars ran 70-80 races a year up and down the eastern seaboard (from Maine to FL) collecting national points at selected tracks to become the National Champion. This is part of racing history Nascar refuses to acknowledge in the HoF . I suggest researching Ray Hendrick, Sonny Hutchins, Butch Lindley, Sam Sommers, Jack Ingram, Tommy Houston, Gene Glover, Bill Dennis and many many more. These guys ran 5-7 nights a week all over the east coast.
@@NCMarrk the history is awesome! I'd really like to find the 1987 Poole Equipment 150 at Rougemont N.C.,at Orange County Speedway a .375 mile paved track. Mark Martins first win in grand national/Sportsman series. He started on the pole and won in the Fat Boys Bar B Que car #31.

Thank you so much for uploading old Busch races!
Everyone complains about Kyle Busch racing in the Xfinity series but here is Dale racing in the same series

@@NCMarrk okay that makes sense, thank you. Do you know when the sportsman series started?

Even in 1987 they had debris cautions in NASCAR.
but there really was debris
+Thomas Holland: But there was actual debris that could cause significant damage to a racecar instead of cutting a tire.
Larry Nuber is awful.
Nope
I like his haircut
