Just remember when you're watching an Xfinity snoozefest race at Texas, Chicago, Vegas, Kentucky and the rest, tracks like Hickory used to host races

my only reasons at this point (as a fan) is to see where a couple of former competitors & teammates are running.

Besides that, my interest as a fan in NASCAR's top 3 series continues to drop.

Good find. That was a good battle for the '88 Southern 500 between Bill and Rusty. Never knew Rusty was that close to winning at Darlington, a track he never did win at.

Nice channel. One of those videos is the 1991 Winston Legends Race which I have always heard was quite something.

Car & Track broadcast (SPEED re-air) of the 1974 NASCAR Modified race at the Daytona Road Course. Several big names in the field including Bobby Allison, Tiny Lund, Richie Evans, Maynard Troyer & Paul Newman.


Footage of the 1967 USAC Stock Car race at the IRP road course (that pit road is insane :8: )

There's some more footage of the USAC stockers at IRP here, this time from 1965 (complete with Petty, Pearson, Isaac and Goldsmith, plus a glimpse of Dick Passwater :lol: in a Studebaker). Interestingly, they're heading in the opposite direction to the 1967 footage:

And some footage of from the stock car division at the Pikes Peak Hillclimb in 1966 (is that still a thing?)

Sometime during this decade. If I remember correctly, the Sierra Club sued, contending that runoff from vehicles was able to get into the water easier, or something to that effect.

My bad. :slaphead:

No designated class for stock cars currently.

2012 was the last year of the "Super Stock Car" class according to the PPIHC website. I would assume current & historic circle-track style cars would be legal for one of the various open classes still though.

This is an interesting one, Richard Petty and Bobby Allison in Chevy late models in a Canadian series race at Mosport in 1974 (Benny Parsons took part later in the year as well):
