1950s NASCAR's Wildest Stories

[@Nebula_Ultra]

Ahhhh there we go. The voice of Nascar

[@cutlass8783]

I know, I was worried for a second

[@ShokuTasumiSpeedprince]

Same it isn't the same without brock

[@jabber1990]

Joe Weatherly: "I feel bad and don't want to win that way" Austin Dillion: "I did what I had to do"

[@RooneyMac]

6:07 both at Richmond!

[@blacklilac2788]

Imagine today hearing that a race has been delayed until the grandstands finish burning down.

[@RooneyMac]

2:42

[@Comet64]

The thing to remember about the crazy stories from those days was that *everyone* was constantly high on drugs

[@Nasty-Canasta]

It's still hard to wrap my mind around how long Richard has been around. How he was present for many of these stories, and can still recall them like they happened yesterday.

[@mrterp04]

He’s in his 80s but his mind is sharp as a tack!

[@Nill83]

When Tim Flock stopped bringing Jocko to his races he told the fans that he fired him because he couldn't sign autographs.

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

I hope we get a series of decades of crazy NASCAR stories if not, well this was still awesome to watch!

[@nascarmanHistory]

@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT hopefully we can collect enough stories to do one for each decade. That would be the goal, we have a few stories so far for the 60s

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

@@nascarmanHistory awesome, good luck guys!

[@abbey2k1]

glad to hear brock back on the mic for this, the AI voice was not the move at all

[@justinyoung109]

1950's NASCAR is if anime conventions did crack. Like, what in the actual fuck?!?! If Burt & Hal were still alive, this would make a great movie

[@Dezert_Fox]

Always appreciate your videos. As a fan who just got back into the sport this year (there seems to be many of us) I am enjoying learning the history of NASCAR & Indy Car. You & Brock offer an invaluable service to us race fans.

[@plisskenationbackfromthede3657]

I read that story about liz petty whoopin tiny with her purse in richards autobiography lol. Lotta good stories in there. Cale yarboroughs autobiography was even more wild (true or not, idk 😂). Like the car that supposedly flew thru a clowns mouth painted on a billboard

[@UncleT4life]

Fonty flock belongs in the hall of fame

[@seannolan9857]

Probably should mention that under the system of the time, relief drivers would share points with the starter, which probably explains why Herb wanted to take over his brother's car so badly.

[@EdwardDaviesRacing]

idk why but i really like the idea of a car number ending with a fraction. maybe when i get my race car i’ll see if the track people let me use a number like 3 1/2 lol

[@kennethflusche7900]

In the 70"s at my local track if an out of towner showed up with a duplicate number on his car they often added that 1/2

[@RooneyMac]

Back in 02 or 03 the was an "X" car at a local dirt track. Same race and same field also had a 10 car so it couldn't've been like a roman numeral for ten

[@EdwardDaviesRacing]

@@RooneyMac yeah i think there’s a late model at my local track with an X as it’s ‘number’ and it looks super cool

[@mono-no-aware.Lem.]

9:17 the race with only one finisher. I looked it up and it happened on 9/30/56... exactly 40 years before I was born!

[@leotherocker94]

I know that feeling.. 8:47 story of Tulsa race when Lee Petty red flagged the race himself happened 8/4/1956.. exactly 38 years before i was born! Also: the first brickyard 400 happened 2 days after i was born, how cool is that?

[@DiRF]

Older gentleman I know once told me the story of how him and his friends borrowed his dad's brand-new '58 Cadillac, drove it to Daytona, and parked it on the beach a mile down from the road course and walked to spectate the 1958 Daytona race. Upon returning to where they'd parked the Cadillac, they discovered the tide had come in, and the car was swamped with water almost up to its windows. He had a long talk from his father after that one...

[@revvyhevvy]

Thanks Brock...er... nascarman History! I got some good laughs to start my day!

[@etatboi]

Glad to hear brock come back, hopefully there wont be anymore ai videos

[@karinyman3436]

Looks like in fifties it was no difference to be a driver or a fan, all fun and free to express yourself the way you want, loving it!

[@kennethflusche7900]

In the 70's at my Local Trach an Old Man Drove his Baricuda to the Track about 3 miles from a trailer park. He qualified good but was to caesious to finish on the lead lap.

[@blizzardwuffy]

Fantastic video, can't wait to see what you bring us next!!

[@AM-tu1rc]

Shoutout for Brock Beard for lending his voice. Do you have to pay him or does he just help you out for free?

[@GPSjammer]

This was awesome, thank you

[@avus-kw2f213]

If it wasn’t for you I would have 1st

[@esidedude2869]

Great. Just Great. My dad (RIP) would've loved this. Thanks.🏁🔥👊

[@ROWDYBatrulha]

Woo brock is back

[@lordracer7743]

These are very wild storys here, holy shit.

[@TheMrtgamer]

Man, it would be great to see this get made into a series... A through the decades look at 75+ years of NASCAR history

[@DwightClark-x2s]

New sub here. Great vid keep em coming

[@Aaron25thinfantry]

Thanks for making these amazing videos of NASCAR!

[@billfeld5883]

Born in 1953 I rode in cars just like these!!! It has been a great experience being a babyboomer!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Romit12]

You saved my life nascarman 😂

[@LRSNRCNG309]

Absolutely lawless times back then

[@katcyclone42]

In 1953 at the Piedmont Fairgrounds in Spartanburg, SC, only Lee Petty was running at the end of the race. Officially the fewest amount of cars to ever finish a Cup race

[@SwineBrothers]

Jack Zink, Indy 500 winning team owner, raced in the Tulsa race in 56.

[@richardbrant5728]

New stuff I've never known. ❤

[@daneamann6225]

Love this video

[@MaunoKoivistoOfficial]

The Petty family are ridiculously good looking!

[@StartAndParkProductions]

Brockkkkk!!!

[@JamesEvans-hx9gf]

Great video.

[@SoldiesBC]

Absolutely comical

[@Electriceye1984bySam]

Great vid❤

[@DIARRHEA-PANIC]

Good One 👌

[@mrterp04]

0:48 “take my car-please!”

[@bigmansedan9077]

Someone mind telling me where he found those first 2 rock-a-billy instrumentals from, there pretty nice!

[@ANotSoHotRodGarage]

If I could go back to any party in time it would definitely be the 50s. Life seemed so much simpler back then.

[@LongIslandMopars]

Yes, absolutely. I'd be on the first time machine back there.

[@RooneyMac]

2:27 and we thought George W Bush getting a DUI in the SEVENTIES was notable! This Guy got it in the 50's!

[@mono-no-aware.Lem.]

this old guy sucks! Bring back the AI you introduced in the Indycar vid! (this is sarcasm if anyone gets triggered)

[@bobroberts2371]

Time 1339 All black and white film but one red car?

[@JUNKERS488]

Now they need to rest every 25 laps. But when you control the nascars parts monopoly you want to make sure the cars stay bunched up to bring out more cautions. The more wrecks the more those few places they all now have to buy their parts from the hand pricked parts suppliers that nascar makes them all buy from. It's not about the race anymore it's about nascar taking the drivers and fans for all their worth. My Uncle raced stock cars and race boats we are a family that used to watch NASCAR before most people even knew about it. We have traveled to 8 different Nascar tracks to see races live with yearly tickets to Daytona/Speed Week and I can't watch it anymore. The greats have mostly all moved on. There used to be so many different ways a race could be won, Stuff like "Short Pitting" "Fuel Mileage" Even just super fast cars like Bill Elliot coming back from 2 laps down to win under long green flag run at Talladega . Sometimes just plain luck gets the win or 2 tires instead of 4. Now the winner is just the guy who was able to avoid the most wrecks that day..

[@LongIslandMopars]

I share your sentiments

[@SwineBrothers]

How can you mention Fonty Floc and shorts without calling them "bermooda" shorts? For shame!

[@SwineBrothers]

For context, Flock raced wearing bermuda shorts, which he pronounced "bermooda" every mention of Flock seems to include that.
