[@MotorTrendWatch]

How fast would you go around Atlanta Motor Speedway?

[@bigdaisy19k]

Fast enough to bring back dirt every day. Fast enough to know that put up or shut up was ahead of the game.

[@paulcoulter7181]

ALL OF IT !!!!!!!!

[@alyssalovesu]

I went about the same as Corey in the Marlboro hot laps several years ago, Cotten was about as excited as i was staring at that wall. lol

[@hoost3056]

Ricky Bobby fast.......plus 100........

[@joshuaweaver7401]

As fast as the car I was driving would go. 🏎

[@mecanord5279]

Faster with Finnegan and roadkill on KZbin !!! Yeah good decision motortrend!

[@Enixious99]

Hilarious and ironic that they pulled a KZbin show from KZbin to make it exclusive, and then like a comment talking about the totally new idea of putting it on KZbin

[@Bisonzilla]

Yeah, because $5 a month for the MT app is gonna bankrupt you right ?

[@marvinmeeker5765]

Ironically, I, nonetheless refuse to pay. That just means I would rather put up with commercials than pay. I got tired of Roadkill garage because they never paid close enough attention to what they were doing to avoid truly airheaded mistakes.

[@matthewkingsmore8824]

Watching you do Robert Duvall's from Days of Thunder talking to the car was nothing short of majestic. I know it was meant to be funny, but anyone who loves racing, loves that movie

[@MotorTrendWatch]

One of the all time greats!

[@josephleppert5589]

I second that.

[@nicefknmodel2201]

Dude Finnegan... I instantly started smiling and laughing. Hilarious throwback. That car is shaped like a Cinder Block tho 🤣

[@chuckiefinster544]

That was a chills moment for sure

[@RichardMLowe]

@@MotorTrendWatch need to see what Cleetus would say

[@ryurc3033]

I'm just giggling like crazy when he came around the dang corner sideways, pushing it, tire smoke, helmet covered in oil, classic man. The days of thunder references killed. And Rick flairmont is the coolest name for a nascar clone I may have ever heard

[@ttngarage]

Wouuuuuu! 👋🏻🖐🏻

[@vintagetractorsaustralia]

Woooo

[@brandonpanozzo86]

Agreed!!! Alot of badass here

[@thomaswalkerbyrne1512]

Badass episode!! I love days of thunder, as does everyone watching this, and I was hoping Cory was gonna nut up and drive it and he exceed my expectations. I was puckering up watching that tire tho it wasn't gonna live long like that🎉🎉

[@dieterlange7581]

I will give Corey LaJoie credit where credit is due he's got big balls to drive your car that fast👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🍺🍺

[@woodyholland9865]

Corey LaJoie needs to be on FWF more! Put him in a boat!

[@neilorange4112]

That's a great idea dude can drive I'm a Nascar fan and and I didn't give him enough credit for sure this was the best thing I've seen this year those last 2 laps I truly thought this can't ent well

[@chuckiefinster544]

Fairmont: blowing oil out of everything Corey: can it make two more laps Fairmont: wiry tire and oily dash Corey: but it can make two more laps

[@dadubbydrummer]

Corey got a fan out of me absolute balls to the wall driver right there. Reminds me of starting out racing that absolute thirst for seat time. ‘Will it do two laps?’ That right there is the epitome of what makes a racer in my opinion. Coming out cover and oil grinning my man you remind me why I do it.

[@jimmyl.bakerjr.7026]

Corey can flat out drive!!! Absolutely no fear!!!!

[@arkhsm]

I bet he was REALLY wondering about the life insurance jokes though !!

[@mac10fan09]

lmao that fender just resting on the tire while testing the stiffness.

[@tommc282]

I liked Corey before this episode and now he is my man! What a great genuine guy!

[@joshsaramadi11]

Finnegan never disappoints but when he gets with cotton and newburn they just mesh to well love that these guys have a show together they’re too much fun to watch

[@awilly1987]

Another full episode in two days! About time really! 🤣

[@rustykrys888]

Mike”u just got roadkilled” I died 🤣🤣🤣

[@bumpedhishead636]

When Corey said "I'm gonna go get my helmet", I knew it was ON!! If we could just covince the NASCAR executives to stop creating the stupid rules, get out of the way and let the teams race, NASCAR could return to being the greatest racing on the planet.

[@JBAutomotive794]

This was an awesome episode, seeing Mike and the guys genuinely have fun and be impressed at their creation put a smile on my face as well. Also give credit to Corey for driving the wheels off that car.... almost literally. 🍻

[@madmike3476]

Omg Corey is nuts, I cant believe he ran it that hard. I was afraid that right rear was gonna come apart at any second, that was awesome!

[@arkhsm]

They were told about spring pressures !!

[@BeagleBageler]

@@arkhsmnow if you put a good set up in it and some tuning, maybe it’ll be faster then the stock car

[@OldguyChris]

I love Cory before this....but now....he's a driving God....good job Cory lajoy your the man

[@John_Conner222]

Dude this was insane. Man I was just waiting for that tire to blow.

[@chargerdave2046]

That was fun to watch. 138 in a car that may or may not hold together... Joey's got a new fan

[@Liverpool270]

Thanks for uploading this - first thing I’ve been able to watch since international viewers were dropped

[@isaaccan3155]

This is the best new show added to this channel since Roadkill. Makes me glad I pay for the MTOD app.

[@erikl827]

As a lifelong NASCAR fan, I love this episode. Finnegan and Lajoe should get a mini series.

[@stuartburgess6945]

I lost motortrend in the UK when they had the shake up last year, but this episode was worth waiting for here, the Three amigos, a top Nascar pilot & Rick Flaremont, classic all the way😎👍

[@danquinnell3502]

Always wanted to rat rod a Fairmont. Outstanding job. Great crew. Thanks for sharing.

[@normnielsen]

This is one of the best YT episodes yet. Loved it, whooo!

[@markchapman2585]

I love the part you playing Robert Duvall from Day's of Thunder LOL

[@drivewaystar6485]

Oh man...love every bit of this! The "talking to the car" scene recreation was pure gold guys

[@braddocksgarage]

Never have I been more concerned for the safety of a NASCAR driver than I was watching Corey take Rick Flairmont around AMS. Killer episode guys! There needs to be more of this Ford in future episodes

[@MrTeaStew]

I have watched this at least 5 times on the MT app and it never gets old. So much to love in this episode. The latest with the Momsoon is cool too. That will be one sweet ride once it's all sorted.

[@JWood62]

I remember watching this episode the first time and was convinced that tire was going to blow with Corey driving. Dude is a legend!

[@ronnieleebailey]

I love how Lajoi just throws his phone to the ground when it's his turn to go

[@colestowing8695]

I had to go back and look.. He did😂. "I might die so I'll just leave this right here..."🤣

[@bigtrucker26]

between the days of thunder skits, and the classic stock car build... Great one guys, had me laughing through half of it...

[@arkhsm]

Plus, I couldn't believe that Blueprint engine survived, especially with FACTORY stamped rockers ! Well done Finnegan on the tune; you know your blower motors for sure !!

[@PEMDASgarage]

All time best episode I have watched on you tube. "It isn't fun if it ain't dangerous."

[@Mrcbuilds]

I think every car guy can relate to the "days of thunder building the car scene" and having a YT channel allows us to recreate it as well. I loved filming my version. Best episode yet!

[@macmcwhorter25]

I absolutely love the nostalgia from days of thunder! One of my favorite movies ever!

[@jeffmoleskivintageiceracin5935]

Great episode. Please keep them coming on KZbin. I was rolling when mike was doing Harry building the car.

[@davidm.d.hyskell8983]

This is without a doubt my fave episode ever!!!

[@allthingscraig7213]

That right there is how Nascar was born!!!! Corey is an animal, and the Finnegan crew crushed it!

[@stuartstogdill2406]

That is absolutely insane! Corey can drive the wheels off of ANYTHING!

[@firepinto]

Sure glad that tire held in there!

[@fkisteppedonlegos1364]

That was so impressive, the build and balls of steel & skill on the driver

[@urielramirez]

Pep talk and big balls... Nice! Really like this show.

[@ToddBerthiaume-m6e]

Guys, that was one of the best episodes ever. I can’t get enough.

[@larrymanning5925]

Corey Lajoie is the man. I didn't think he was going to go for it with that thing smoking away like that.

[@1986arseny]

I like big changes as he twists the distributer 30 or 40 degrees! then the thing fires right up. What a great episode 👏 👌 ❤️ 🙌

[@phantom629]

Awesome episode, Finnegan puts out great content, i hope this becomes a regular car as they can do so much more with this car, Cleetus can't bring back the car enthusiast alone.

[@davberg8366]

I'm a huge Finnegan fan been watching him since the earliest days of roadkill. Nice job but Cotton and Dave. Really enjoy the full episode.

Cheesy days of thunder reference you know this is gonna be stuck in my head for weeks Thanks!

[@unmalo2768]

Corey LaJoie can drive like a mother!!!

[@timschell5781]

Never have I had a white knuckle experience watching KZbin until I saw this, I swear for the entire lap I was sure that the Fairmont was gonna end up in the wall!

[@danimal865]

Imagine if you had stiffer springs on it and it wasnt rubbing tires. Man that tire showing steel belt in the corner throwing sparks had me grittin my teeth.

[@BIllMcCambridge]

I have seen this episode like 4 times. It's one of the best. I am no a La Joie fan. If it ain't dangerous it ain't fun. Classic. Thanks Finn

[@Chemist9662]

this is one of my favorite films you've done. thank you

[@christophertaylor9100]

Faster is one of the best shows on TV. Cotton and Newburn are just great company for Finnegan. And after the Mt Rushmore episode, I am pretty sure that Thunderbird is cursed.

[@MrTeaStew]

Fortunately it is dead and will disappoint no further.

[@grahamwer]

That may well be the bravest man I`ve ever seen!!

[@mrtandemslidessbtt]

That Days Of Thunder bit legit gave me flash backs to the first time I seen that film many moons ago.

[@600wheel]

Thanx guys that really put a smile on my face. My blown stock block 89 fox is really gonna feel it tomorrow

[@ericbastion2149]

Absolutely love this my first car was a 79 Fairmont two door i use to tear us around the UP of Michigan totaled the car jumping it 😂

That was nuts good job Finnegan and Team and LaJoie is a bad man!!!

Everything you Guy's build runs Good for about 5 Min's and then it Start's to go wrong. But them 5 min's are a fun 5 min's like a private lap dance.🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@scottburrow8717]

This was one of the best FWF episode I’ve ever watched. Love Rick Flairmont. WOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[@ronjones-6977]

How did they not go Wooooo, every single time they said Ric Flairmont? Biggest missed opportunity since buying bitcoin in 2011.

[@jonkitrel6622]

A 78 Fairmont is simply NOT supposed to make those glorious noises coming down a straightaway. The word "incongruous" comes to mind. Congratulations on the new record, boys... that was fun to watch.

[@drummerchaniking7026]

All of the references just made me want to go watch my favorite NASCAR movie ever!!

[@briansenez7718]

That man has balls of steel! I was a little worried for him. Great video. Thank you.

[@bradmaas6875]

Back in the '60s and '70s, NASCAR was all about taking the cars you could buy from a dealer with some mods and race it.

[@Aearonjer]

Classic iconic American style. Love the coupes. Cheers from Australia.

[@jdmrok20]

Man this video put a big smile on my face thank you guys!!!

I had a 79 Fairmont 4dr sedan that started its life as a 2.3L 4cyl until I put a 347 600horse and a C4 Trans and 8.8 rear with 3.55's with an auburn posi it was a real fun car.
