A Visit To North Wilkesboro Speedway by The Flying Aces

[@lecturehc]

Ain't she a beauty? All greyed and wrinkled up but still so graceful. A glimpse into old America, which so few people remember these days.

[@mlwise24]

Man the memories that flood back in to the memory. I sure do miss her.

[@FlyingAcesTV]

We do too!

[@Coach15Advo]

Thanks for this post. Much appreciated!!

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Your Welcome!

[@chrisanthony579]

Great video, thanks for the memories. My race buddy that took me to North Wilkesboro for the first time, somewhere in the early 90's passed away last year. We had some great times there then The Rock and pretty much all over the country before the cookie cutter tracks sprang up. When the closed NW, they offer to transfer the season tickets from NW to Rockingham. Before they added the chair back seats you used to sit on concrete, same with the rock. When racing used to be exciting.

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Thanks for sharing that Chris.

[@ZekenStreak]

[@barrettpolhemus3475]

I hope that NASCAR can go back there someday. I doubt it will happen, but I want to see somebody try to bring it back

[@ben94gt]

It happened!

[@thecurtpshow]

Speechless.....WOW!!!!! Please, someone out there, save this track!!!!!

[@CoolRacer8]

Speechless Outlaw!! Awesome video, Justin and I watched several times already. One of my all time fav tracks, I still have my tic stubs from 4 races =), been there 10+ times! Went to last race there which was a Late Model Race for $100K to winner in early 2000's! The history at that track can never be duplicated! Wow! Thanks again for sharing, made a lot of memories at that ol mountain short track! Have a Great Evening!

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Your very Welcome! I wish I could have experienced the legendary drivers and races there. You are very lucky to have all of those wonderful memories!

[@pumpkinking5174]

Into turn one, Earnhardt and Rudd.....and both of them spin!!! My Wife and I are ready to drive down from Philadelphia to check it out!

[@MRosati5000]

You said it Pumpkin.

[@kennystats]

[@bdfm34]

GREAT VIDEO AND TO SHARE THIS MOMENT WITH YOUR SON IS AWESOME OUTLAW

[@FlyingAcesTV]

He really enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@bmc2567]

So cool to hear the excitement and true appreciation of the track where I grew up. You were in a piece of history in NASCAR. It was a great little track to watch the boys of NASCAR battle it out twice a year. Lots of memories there.

[@talkcoolone]

Getcha one of them GOOD cameras off Amazon......high resolution. I wanted to see them frogs down there. (I heard frogs as well). What a treat. Really cool!

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Hahaha! I was waiting for it.

[@rickjavorka5829]

Awesome Outlaw! The thing that struck me most was how different the pit entrance configuration is from the iRacing version and like you said the amount of banking in 3-4. Thank you so much for sharing!! Rick J.

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Your very welcome!

[@jessicamatt926]

Great Vid

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Thank you!

[@geoffbernhardt137]

Thanks for the tour! That was cool to see... Drove bye the track in my semi truck last week and wish I could've stopped to take a look at a piece of NASCAR history.

[@steveofw73]

Thanks for taking us along, Outlaw. That was special

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Thank you!

[@oldhippie2316]

That was awesome Outlaw!

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Thank you!

[@mikealtan739]

Thanks Outlaw for sharing such a cool piece of racing history. Can only imagine how cool it would have been to watch a race there.

[@FlyingAcesTV]

I agree Mike. Thank You!

[@connorgibson268]

That’s absolutely Amazing, gotta love people like the guy that let you in there, those types of people are the nicest ones and the most amazing ones to talk too, so happy to see a video like this.

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Thanks. It was a great experience.

[@connorgibson268]

Thank you for making the video! I am in High School and absolutely love to watch videos about the old tracks that NASCAR used and learn about the history of NASCAR, and thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my comment, means a lot!

[@rockytoptwizzy4226]

So cool!

[@redbird924]

I'll be in town for the 600 this May and I hope to get to take a little tour for myself like you did here.

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Super cool.

[@soiled]

this is great, it's always great to run into one of the locals who has a set of keys to the place...haha!

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Yes it is!

[@bamafan762]

Beautiful track!!! Thank you for the video. Just a ton of memories when I see this track. I wish so bad they could still race there but corporate greed will probably not allow that to happen

[@jdtractorman7445]

At 8:16, I wonder who was up in that booth above the back stretch grand stand. I think the tv people were in the booth by the start/finish line were they not?

[@gcsportscollecting1173]

The guy was filled with awesome stories well worth the trip

[@emm_2183]

Hope you enjoyed it. Glad to see it back to life in iRacing. See any prangles?

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Love them Prangles!

[@armyretired28]

Now it's coming back and they will be racing there in Aug and Oct 2022!!!

[@relicman]

Wow, I wish this man had've been as welcoming to me as he was you. I drove up and was filming from a distance and he drove up and started yelling at me and threatened to shoot me lol. I don't know, maybe because I had long hair and looked like a hippie, who knows! Great video and thank you.

[@TheRetromantic81]

I have heard also that he is very mean. They really lucked out. I have been inside too...we did get permission and the man let us in, but about 10 minutes later he yelled at us to get the hell out of there like he didn't remember letting us in. Very strange. I have yet to edit my video, but I plan to get it up on my channel soon. I saw yours too at some point!

[@relicman]

@@TheRetromantic81 Damn LOL, I guess he is hard to deal with!

[@TheRetromantic81]

@@relicman I believe we were also very lucky to be let in, but yeah we were really surprised when he started yelling. I can't say he threatened us though...sorry that was your experience!

[@edlee8640]

When are yall going to stream

[@kennyp172172]

CANADA KENNY says,"WOW OUTLAW!!!"

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Thanks Canada Kenny!

[@majorefaw]

If only that place could talk.

[@FlyingAcesTV]

You ain’t kidding!

[@christopherhamilton5557]

It’s not too late to save this track... not as a nascar track, but maybe as a museum, historical landmark, maybe host some local racing events... there’s got to be a way...

[@pittsky]

I heard they might bring it back.

[@dtmjax5612]

Cool video man. I sure wish somebody at NASCAR would realize how much good will they would exhibit with what to them would be a tiny investment and bring this place back. Rockingham also. Instead, they can barely get 30,000 to 40,000 to go to Texas Motor Speedway. Cookie cutter crap tracks.

[@FlyingAcesTV]

So true my friend.

[@TracksideViews]

Now look at it today

[@bigbadredsox]

Still saddens me. Darlington is next.

[@Albika_Albika]

And the scoreboard works I think

[@VictorMartinVandJ]

I went their to see the track with a friend. Didn't even get past the drums in the road. He came out told us we were trespassing. He was very rude. And said he was goin to call the cops on us. We watched several white people go up to the building and he said nothing. I dont play the race card but we were the only two black people their. That was so unfair. I've never had that happen to me before.

[@Albika_Albika]

And it's made 1954 to 1994

[@jimmyjolly4184]

If nothing else I would love to see someone with big money buy it and turn it into a dirt track for Lucas Oil and WOO races

[@FlyingAcesTV]

Yes. Anything to preserve that place.

[@jimmyjolly4184]

And instead of putting dirt on Bristol NASCAR could run 6 races a year at North Wilksboro

[@jaredlyons4122]

Did Paul say you couldn’t get on the track because the law has video surveillance of it?

[@FlyingAcesTV]

I’m not sure exactly but he did say they have surveillance on it.
