1962 USAC Stock Car Race @ Milwaukee

[@S1apShoes]

2:31 Car just casually hitting the access road hump in the corner and 3-wheeling it around. God bless early stock car racing.

[@TheRacer120]

A goat of NASCAR youtube just casually in my comments.

[@S1apShoes]

@@TheRacer120 I couldn't do what I do if it wasn't for people like you uploading every single obscure race imaginable. Thanks for what you do

[@KENSellenheim]

Was at that race. I was 12 and it was good back then and it still feels good to watch.

[@aidascernevicius8607]

Grand stands are fully occupied. People watching race, talking with each other, and no freaking smart phones in their hands. That's real good. 😆😀

[@topofthecircle]

Wow, looks like the camera picked up a couple of cars hitting a significant bump somewhere between Turns 1 and 2.

[@landoflogic107]

These guys don’t seem all that nervous about racing, they seem to be having fun. I guess racing a stock car at a one mile oval is a bit safer than running an open wheel car at the same place.

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Man I wish they would have documented all of the great USAC Stock races of the 50s, 60s, and 70s like they did this one. Packed houses and hot battles. I would have loved to see those Superbirds vs. Talledegas vs. Chargers . The cars were jaw dropping.

[@markdinkel-uh2je]

Me too. Plus the 50s decade Indycar at Speedway Indiana.

[@mr.austriaplayer7883]

I wish I would have been a racer in that time

[@ork7137]

I LOVE OLD SCHOOL RACING

[@pequecin1115]

Hamilton is my favorite F1 driver me too, I try to find every 50s and 60s racing videos

[@RandyDubin]

Don White, always a threat at the front back in the 1960s into the early 1970s. Two-time national champion (1963, 1967) and all-time winningest driver in this series with 52 career wins.

[@sorshiaemms5959]

THOSE WERE THE DAYS WHEN STOCK CARS WERE STOCK OR CLOSE TO IT 406 421 AND 409 S PUSHING BIG CARS OVER 100 MPH

[@Harry-wt1pi]

Monster Mile

[@MrChristopherHaas]

That’s Dover. This is Milwaukee lol

[@tamtam21801]

i saw a car driving over a speed bump at 2:31

[@topofthecircle]

Anyone know what the specs of a USAC stock car were in comparison to a NASCAR stock car? Nascar's weight has been 3700 pounds forever, and they shortened the wheelbase sometime around 1981, IIRC.

[@Scarecrow-skate-racing-videos]

I just watched the race from IRP road course from 1967 and they said the cars were 4,000 pounds but I'd say these cars are a little smaller. Maybe not.

[@knighttuttruptuttrup8518]

Did I hear AJ Foyt's name?

[@tomortman4850]

Better than Nascar was in those days.

[@RandyDubin]

6:24 Wait, the pit in at The Milwaukee Mile back then was *ON THE TRACK??!!??!! THAT MUST'VE BEEN SCARY!!!!!*

[@shortymedlock3204]

Was like that everywhere.... NASCAR, INDY...

[@Timinator62]

F1 and Le Mans too

[@topofthecircle]

That does look amazingly scary with the straightaway speeds they were doing even in the early 60s.

[@markdinkel-uh2je]

Indy was like that too until around 1960

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Just a fantastic field of drivers. Too bad 10 good cars got taken out right away.

[@fredwalker3374]

Underrated series saw a race at texas world not motor speedway it was a indy car stock car double header 200 miles each

[@1979cl1]

That no, 19 Ford with front end damage now looks like a freaking Edsel.

[@topofthecircle]

Another car in the early crash had an interesting triangle wedge on its paint job (about 2:58).

[@markdinkel-uh2je]

😂

[@christopherlucy1772]

Goldsmith s Pontiac had glass windows on it

[@sorshiaemms5959]

THEY ALL DID ITS 1962

[@jimmyhawkins5357]

Fords were kicking ass.

[@rodneydukes7616]

Chevy won most races up till now. Back then Pontiac held the track.

[@benwalter4842]

2:47-3:07 original ARCA brakes.

[@daleolson3506]

That's when men were men and sheep were scared.

[@markdinkel-uh2je]

[@MrChristopherHaas]
