Harry Gant's Trophy Room & Car Collection: Living NASCAR Legend Still Working Hard at 83

Harry Gant has more nicknames than anybody, and they're well deserved. He has won NASCAR cup races over the age of 50 and had a prolific short track career in itself before he ever set foot in a cup car. Today Harry is 83 and he still works on the farm and cuts a lot of grass. We went up to his house to check out his classic car collection and trophy room! Harry is an incredible storyteller and recalls details that would elude most after 50 years. Everything from street racing with his first car, trying to teach young Dale Earnhardt how to run asphalt, to wearing out Terry Labonte for the 1985 IROC championship, Harry shares it all!

[@scottwhite6848]

I agree 100%, him and the late Leo Jackson both need to be in.

[@iamgriff]

That baffles me as well.

[@happywrenching33]

It's really a joke that he isn't in already. Evidently, the Nascar HOF is a bit of a clown show.

[@headbrown5629]

You HAVE to shoe us the rest if the footage you took this day. Harry was on a roll & wanted to talk. Please share that .

[@headbrown5629]

Great job guys!

[@rescobar7929]

Harry Gant does not age, he looks just about the same as he did in the 90s. Drivers like Harry Gant is what I feel Nascar is missing today, someone that is very relatable. Too many rich kids behind the wheel today.

[@ATLANTABOY527]

What a great American I was fortunate to see him race live a dozen or so times thanks for racing Harry

[@craigthompson1431]

Yes racing isnt the same anymore without Gant, Earnhardt, Wallaces, Waltrips

[@gh4121-b5n]

Too many rich kids is because that’s what it takes nowadays. All about what or how much money you can bring in. Driving is secondary. Harry was my favorite driver back in the day.

[@z06doc86]

High, wide, and handsome. That’s my man, Harry Gant. I loved watching him race back in the day. Thanks for the wonderful interview.

[@baims8367]

The ❤️ of $$$ is the root of all evil !! And that’s the problem w/ everything today!!

[@12121149]

Harry is a Real Nascar driver. Could listen to his stories forever.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man that’s awesome!

[@georgewalkeriii8112]

My brother Tim strikes again! Mitchell, Harry is one the nicest and most genuine gentleman you will ever meet. Tim was friends with a man named W.D. Goad in Virginia, and he put on the best car shows you've ever seen. For 4 or 5 years we went to his huge car show in Lexington that he did for charity. Tim was responsible for Harry, Bobby and Donnie Allison, Red Farmer, Dave Marcis and several others for showing up and supporting the show. That's where Tim and Bobby unveiled the Charger Daytona in fact. Thank you for helping Tim keep all these legends alive and relevant. I appreciate you and Logan working so hard doing this. Regards.......Buck Walker

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man we appreciate you!

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Hey Buck, thanks for sharing such amazing information!!!

[@georgewalkeriii8112]

Your welcome you guys. My brother is amazing to me, and always has been. He's such an extrovert and I'm the introvert. When W.D. Goad was alive, besides the 1,000 vehicle car shows, he'd always put us up in a great hotel around the corner from the show. It was a lot fun going down to the lobby and listen to Bobby and Donnie, Red, Harry, Dave Marcis, and several other historic drivers tell stories. The time would go by so quickly it was unbelievable. There I was, listening and talking to my heroes from NASCAR talking to me like I was one of them. Like I said Mitchell, you didn't have to ask many questions, and I haven't seen Harry this happy in a long time. I think he enjoyed this video interview more than the rest of us. Keep up the great work. 😊

[@dannotwalruslarkin9324]

Yes, I'm so pumped for this. Harry is seriously one of the coolest guys ever involved in Nascar.

[@davewoodmancy5124]

I met Harry Gant at an autograph signing at one of the 1st Brickyard 400s. Extremely nice gentleman. That was more exciting for me than the actual race.

[@gregorygolden1296]

Yep. NASCAR is missing drivers like Harry Gant. He truly is a gentleman and a legend. They don't make drivers like Harry anymore.Today, NASCAR has a giant hole it cannot fill. And never will. Not putting down any of today's drivers, but they will never fill the hole left behind by guys like Harry, Dale, king Richard, David Pearson....the list is long. NASCAR with the nonsense it's become with the new cars, the playoffs, the cookie cutter cars and tracks is it's own worse enemy. They won't learn from their past. It's all about money today. Not the crews or the drivers.

[@moparornocar3764]

Can’t even run a race without taking a break.

[@Ratsass3]

Harry is an Awesome down to earth Man. I live 3 miles from him and his fame has never went to his head. Same great additude and good sence of humor as he has always had. Great Guy.

[@jeffb2456]

Harry is always the ultimate gentleman. The Winston Cup era was by far the best.

[@thebegrsshow]

"Handsome Harry" has always been one of my favorites. His interviews were always the best. Win or loose that "Darn Junk Carburetor" was always skipping, even when he had a lap on the field. A true gentleman racer, ALWAYS !

[@haroldbirckhead9997]

One heck of a wheel man! He helped make the sport, there are not too many down to earth people like him in Nascar now…

[@russellridge8623]

Don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone badmouth Harry. Rare for a NASCAR driver. Another incredible afternoon with a living legend. Happy Thanksgiving

[@swedechef9628]

I grew up a Harry Gant fan and when he retired, I became a Jeff Gordon fan. Glad to see Harry is well and looking great. SKOAL 33 BANDIT FOR LIFE.

[@joshpitts7256]

What happened

[@rickyestes7477]

I'm sorry you got mental problems after harry retired

[@chrisbarrettFilmstudio]

Getting to see Harry Gant be immortalized on your channel is amazing. I love the work that you and Logan put into the channel and videos. This Channel acts as a common man's Hall of Fame for racing. Keep up the great work

[@WryGrass100]

Well said!

[@richboyo8306]

A real man, a real legend and a total gentleman. The world was a better place when harry was racing. We salute you harry.

[@goodpplz123]

Dang man he’s 83? Wow he looks great. He still Handsome Harry. This was the generation I grew up with. 80’s through 2010 is when I never missed a race. Once Mark Martin retired I just slowly stopped watching. Thank you so much for these wonderful tours and interviews . Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

[@wallybraveheart6896]

Yes it changed too much for me too. I quit watching. Same with nhra.

[@tedium37]

Verbatim agree. Cool

[@davidpawson7393]

I'm visiting my 85 year old father for Thanksgiving. I know the feeling about speaking loudly, AKA yelling, especially as I live in a quite spot in the woods of New Hampshire thanks to him. He may be a marine biologist still writing for various publications but he's also the reason I'm a gearhead and why I'm hear I mean here. He literally tricked me when I was 14, 39 years ago by using the wrong line on the crank pulley of his car during a valve adjustment to see if I could figure it out. I'm thankful for him, these great people in racing and you and yours for something I'd never have thought possible yet I'm in their shops listening to stories like my dad tells which are priceless to never be replicated again. Humble is what I strive to be but will never compare to those before me.

[@b.w.22]

What a lovely gift to give us today! I’m thankful for Harry Gant, a man who clearly made a deal at a crossroads somewhere to look as great in his 80’s as he looked in his 50’s when he became Mr. September. Those writers who coined him as Handsome Harry Gant got it right, my goodness! What a wonderful figure who competed through the golden years of Stock Car racing, from short track champion, to the “Bandit” team with Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham, to winning Winson Cup races into the 90’s! And what a raconteur - though I’ve decided that a secret weapon to talking NASCAR history is having a North Carolina country accent. I could listen to Harry for hours, just like I could to Richard Petty, Ned Jarrett, or the the dearly departed Junior Johnson. Appreciate this, man!

[@scottteams3361]

Couldn’t wait for this episode to come out after the polling question. Harry Gant is a Nascar racing legend! Guys like him and Norm Benning are what made old school Nascar so much better than the racing we have now. Keep up the great work!!

[@tribbleridgeracing9559]

1991 Mr. September !! He won 4 in a row, he got close to making it 5, but finished 2nd Earnhardt. Hall of Famer in my book.

[@kurtfoulke5130]

Handsome Harry looks amazing. It's hard to imagine all the laps he has run in his career. He was always one of the nicest and toughest guys in the garage 💪

[@georgetincher7859]

I remember Harry's impressive haul from 1991 that gave him the nickname "Mr. September". That was the year when I got satellite TV and was able to watch all of the races for the first time, which really allowed me to get into the sport. I was only 14 at the time and thought it was cool as hell for an "old guy" (Harry was 51 then) to be kicking everyone's asses in Cup and the Busch Series. I quickly became a fan of Gant and always pulled for him until he retired from Cup after 1994.

[@moparornocar3764]

I was at his two wins on the southern 500 weekend smoked them both days. 91

[@Mymusickb]

THANK YOU again!! I'm sure you are thrilled to do these but it's awesome for us old school fans. We'll cherish these interviews someday they'll be memories that are priceless. Old Handsome Harry is a good man.

[@johnsipe]

I could listen to guys like Harry Gant talk for hours. This guy is a national treasure. There is so much to learn from some of the older folk just by listening. Kudos to the interviewer for not interrupting and just letting it unfold! I remember when Harry was probably about 50 years old, he would walk into the drivers meeting on his hands. I also remember after a long summer race younger drivers were sliding down the sides of their cars and could no longer stand (totally exhausted), and Harry would be standing a few feet away doing a TV interview as cool as a cucumber. He was in incredible shape. A legend, and pure Americana.

[@nathanielalgernon975]

Still looks quite good at his age, and I agree I could listen to this guy talk for hours, a lot of interesting stories there.

[@charlieparker2773]

HANDSOME HARRY GANT , ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR , BEST DRIVER ,& NEVER TO BUSY TO TALK TO HIS FANS OR ANYONE ELSE 🏁 🏁 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@TracksideViews]

You and Logan are really preserving priceless NASCAR history not just for us now but for many generations to come.

[@jr642]

I could listen to Harry and Leonard Wood talk forever. Such great accents.

[@michaelrumfelt3106]

nascar put this man in the hall of fame please. he has more than earned it.

[@sheldongilbert808]

The nicest guy in racing. MEN like Harry are what made Winston Cup so big. Another awesome video, Thank you

[@robertmilstead4950]

Mitchell, Logan, This has to be one of my favorite videos yet, Harry Gant is a down to earth real person. My Father in law was a wheel with US Tobacco Company and I was lucky enough to get to know Harry Gant. Those days when Harry was still racing were the best of times and the man doesn’t age at all, and you are exactly right, he is a great story teller. Thanks for all you two do for the preservation of Nascar, it is appreciated and keep it coming!

[@HammerPowered]

Yes! Been waiting for Harry to make an appearance on your channel. One of the drivers I really think deserves the Hall of Fame but for whatever reason he's not there yet. So many great stories here. Thank you for getting this interview and posting it.

[@Steeledawg]

Harry is as humble and a gentleman as it gets. A true spokesman for NASCAR.

[@jebediahgentry7029]

Holy crap you are living the dream. This is so damn cool. He's the first driver I was a fan of

[@bluecollarcook]

Awesome! Thanks for this video. Gant was my driver. He represented the every day guy in NASCAR.

[@patrickhite3026]

Harry Gant was my favorite driver back in the day..If he's not inducted into the NASCAR H.O.F. it's a disgrace..Great to see him still going strong at 83..Thanks

[@brandonlee6158]

One of the best OG no bs drivers to race the Cup series, it doesn’t get any more humble than HARRY!! Thanks for letting us go with you and I loved just hearing him carry on with story, after story! He wouldn’t be finished with one story and he’s told 3 more! If I only knew half of what that man has forgot! Thanks Stapelton42 for a Thanksgiving day treat Happy Turkey Day to y’all from Ellerbe NC

[@kennyfofo]

These men's stories need to be chroniicled before they are lost forever. You and Logan are doing such a great job of getting them in front of the camera and just letting them talk! Thank you for your hard work!

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man that’s our goal

[@htalbott1899]

Harry was what made nascar, his era was the best at least my opinion.stories like this is why you and Logan are the best, thank you guys so much.

[@02dburns]

Mitch and Logan. I can’t thank you enough for this interview !! It was so great to see Harry, A Pure Gentleman , in his shop and hear the great stories! You Guys are awesome to do this 💥💥💥

[@jasondudley362]

Harry was the man he deserves to be in the hall of fame Mitchell you’ve been holding out I thought all was lost in getting gant on since I asked a while back you agreed it would be great to have him on

[@titusyeti2]

Harry Gant was and is one of my all time favorite drivers and personalities. He never was a "race car driver". He was hard working handsome Harry Gant who happened to drive the wheels off race cars whenever he wasn't working on a house. I was never an Earnhardt fan and loved watching Harry put it on Dale with his smoothness and wisdom. There are at least 20 people in the Hall of Fame less deserving than Harry to be in the Hall of Fame imo. Late 1991 was something to watch!! Thanks for bringing us this content as my favorite time of Nascar was from 83 to the late 90's and many of the people featured on this channel are my sentimental favorites personalities in the sport.

[@arthurhouston3]

Love it. Watched Harry run almost all his races. There was a period he was king.

[@kevinscott9983]

Years ago I was so lucky to win dinner with Harry Gant,Richard Petty and Kyle Petty in Memphis Tn as they rode through on the Kyle Petty Charity Ride. I had my 7 year old son with me, he didn’t know who they where, his guy was Jeff Gordon. While eating Harry looked at me and said why aren’t you eating that roast beef like your boy? I told him I am little taken back eating with my two hero’s the Bandit and the King! I’ll never forget what he said “son all we did was drive little faster than most in circles” Lol. He looks the same and he and Richard have not changed. So glad he is healthy and enjoying these cars like they should be, driven! Thank you for this great interview, may God continue to bless the Bandit with health and safe driving!

[@johnboyd6139]

My dad and I loved Harry Gant! We actually met him at Martinsville once, and it was a highlight of our lives. I'm sure he wasn't as excited as we were.

[@beberle9641]

Wow Harry Gant my all time favorite driver! I am 55years old and still do hard labor for a living so guy's like Harry inspire me so much. Thanks for this great video Stapleton42 Rocks🏁

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man!

[@yepyepuhhuhuhhuh3999]

I feel like Harry Gant was born 65 years old and he has been 65 years old since 1981.

[@Stapleton42]

I swear he looks and acts younger than some 60 year olds. He is an example of the way to live life

[@GetsumJ]

Harry Gant - legendary. He made chain link fences famous.

[@RichieCat4223]

Harry Gant is the person I always cheered for. He was the bridesmaid in NASCAR.

[@lonniehawkins582]

I give the bridesmaid trophy to another great driver . Mr.Mark Martin . He was great got left at the altar and now mostly forgotten by short attention span fans, it'd funny without Winston big bill around the effect of losing the intimidator . All accumulated to Nascar losing its hold on loyal fans with taking a sport far away from its true fan base. Now it's so different, it was a southern sport and it's roots needed to stay simple . It got all about money over matter. The fans and there connection to the drivers in loyalty and friendship left the sport . It just got to complicated grew to fast and now we're left with marketing and product .being ahead of it all we all lost that thing that made it feel like a family .Dale Earnhardt was like part of our family when he died Nascar lost its most important face . It's still rattles the foundation that's left .

[@RichieCat4223]

Well put sir.@@lonniehawkins582

[@gl5126]

I remember when I was a kid he would come around with a Skoal bandit delivery guy to local stores passing out Skoal products and hats, nicest guy you could ever meet and we were in Vermont

[@Jay-og7ld]

That's heaven right there. Thanks, now I'm going to cry.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man!

[@dwtrksvc]

I don't know who is more apprectiave of this video, us the viewers or Harry. I know he loves telling you two all those stories and I know we loved hearing them. This is truly a video time capsule of one of the great legends of Nascar. Thanks for all your efforts and I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

[@aervin01]

Its awesome to see Mr. September telling us stories.

[@FloridaManRacer]

Good ol Handsome Harry, Mr. September himself. One of the best damn looking race cars ever to grace a NASCAR track was that Skoal Bandit 33. Harry's a nice man, but there's something about that Bandit persona. As a kid, he was the only guy on the track that was the same level bad ass as Dale. For totally different reasons though. He was 'quiet cool'... Didn't have to say a whole lot to leave a big impression.

[@lloydstewart3057]

Harry Gant is still an awesome individual. He deserves to be in the HOF!!!

[@snchilders]

I was the fireman in his pit at Dover for most of the years that Harry raced NASCAR. He's just a couple years older than I am and it's nice to see him.

[@rajcam80]

I met Harry way back in the day at Flat Rock Speedway in MI. One the good guys!

[@charlesfritz2540]

I got home from Thanksgiving dinner, and turned on the TV and saw your show, with Harry Gant. And I got so excited! I absolutely loved Harry Gantt exclamation point with that skull Bandit. He was one of my all-time favorites. They said he was strong as a bull. And I was shocked to see how good he still looks to this day. And I love the stories he tells. This interview of past race car drivers has been my absolute favorite! And can't wait to show my mother, yes my mother is a huge Nascar fan. We watch the races every Sunday at her house me and my pops. We were really into NASCAR the 80s and 90s. My mother still watches that she's 83. But thank you again for putting him on one of your shoes. I'm going to save this video for future reference. Thanks again for a wonderful show I really appreciate it! Keep up the good work brother

[@RobertEMuir]

He's one of those guys I could listen to for hours.

[@richardparker7168]

Bro, this is priceless! Thanks Mitch for recording this history.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man!

[@headbrown5629]

I could listen to Harry Gant tell these stories ALL DAY LONG! The way he talks, is the way we talk here in Eastern KY.

[@johnnyellerson2525]

"Handsome Harry", quite the character and one of the greats of all time. Great video too.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man

[@FromthePits]

One of thee truee gentlemen of NASCAR. I met him in Long Pond, PA in 89-90. Such a treasure of a man

[@robertmckinney46]

I remember watching Harry Gant race at the old Starlite Speedway in Monroe with his 57 Chevy on the dirt. Also watched him at Hickory Speedway before it was paved. He was always a clean driver well respected by other driver's and fans alike. Is he not in the hall of fame yet? Come on Nascar!!!!

[@speedwaystevecronk6680]

Thank you for the Thanksgiving Treat. Just last weekend I watched the movie Stroker Ace and Harry is in it, I wondered how is is doing now days. Now here he is and all the great story's! Thank You for all the Camera / Edit work adding film clips from IROC. I also believe Mr. Harry Gant should be In the Hall of Fame. We was not called Mr. September for running second ,I do not remember the year. Outstanding History Video.

[@scotthall756]

I love Harry. If there was ever a guy in nascar that was universally liked, it’s him. Thanks for your perseverance in making videos like this happen. They’re awesome.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man!

[@ChrisHuddleston-52]

Harry was the man back in the day; as he also drove for Ed Whitaker from Bristol where I live. Those were the good ole days.

[@jaspal666]

I love Harry. He’s my dad’s generation, southern, has a story for everything. Glad you could document!

[@TheCrewChief374]

Handsome Harry Grant is always a hoot to listen to when he is telling stories from his past including from his racing career.

[@RIVERLORD-bf7uc]

The BANDIT Handsome Harry GANT. . .Mr September. He was always one of my favorites and just a normal blue collar guy. No other driver is as close to a "normal guy" than ole Harry. He would run a 500 mile race on a 100° day and get out of the car and not even be sweating hard. Other drivers would have to be poured out of their car and given oxygen, IV fluids and everything else. Not the BANDIT. Another top notch video from you guys. Really appreciate what y'all do and are doing. Hope your Thanksgiving was blessed. Have a great weekend. . . . JW. Hueytown Alabama

[@lewislgZ06]

A true American gentleman. I had the privilege to meet him once at one of the first Brickyard races. He came out of the tent he was signing autographs in and took photos with some of my friends and I with our Harleys, and stood and talked to us for a few minutes like he’d known us all of his life. He will always be my favorite Nascar driver of all time.

[@jimhaines8370]

What Harry was saying about racing dads car at 16 was that Oldsmobile's, Cadillac's and Chrysler's had Overhead Valve Engines everybody else still had flat head V8's or inline flathead sixes so the power difference was huge with that Olds. About that times with in a year or two everybody had new OHV engines so it all had changed quickly. Old moonshiners were not using flat heads as they were slow heavy and would overheat so they would get an OLDs or Caddy engine to swap in to those old fords if they didn't want to get caught. The picture wall harry was showing had a photo of his 55 Chevy and the wall was a wooden guard rail taken at the now closed Old Dominion Speedway in Manassas, Virginia as a side note. The track in Baltimore Harry spoke about was south of Baltimore a few miles in Beltsville Maryland and was the first track in the country to require mufflers and the county treated them horribly until they basically ran them out of business. If you look back at easy to find photo's it will show you the huge sound wall they had to have then the mufflers and sound checks and just on and on they made it from 63 to 83 and gone. The Trush mufflers were called Hush Thrush mufflers and had two on each tail pipe from the header with a Y feeding them and were placed in front of the rear end. What a nice guy Gentleman Harry Gant

[@rjkeenan8955]

Handsome Harry Gant ... sat on the back of his hauler at Phoenix. He was an absolute riot to talk with. Earnhardt won the race that year, and I'm purdy sure it was 91.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Enjoyed, Harry Gant was always my favorite driver!!! 👍🏁🏁👍

[@jtomvato]

Wow, I could listen to him talk for hours. Love this man

[@chrismartin3305]

I could hear him talk all day he reminds me of my grandaddy makes me miss him dearly.

[@rodneyf.9595]

I know everyone has a hero but guys growing up racing I will never forget meeting and talking to Harry. Living near by I hope to chat with him again . Thank you for this video I been hoping and waiting and worth it .❤👍

[@dongeetings6893]

Truly a living legend, as genuine as they Come. I would love to have a chance to visit with him, probably wont happen but it would be a great privilege. He was the first driver i was fan of when i first got interested in Nascar. When he retired i was a fan of Mark Martin, another legend as far as i am concerned.

[@rickmachale8646]

Harry is my favorite driver of all of NASCAR. He was doing it when NASCAR was great, and he was great too. I'm still a fan, and his photograph is still on my wall. We haven't forgotten you Harry!

[@intheloosestuff9273]

This is awesome, I just had the pleasure of talking with Cale Yarborough last week. I run his fan page on Facebook. They have some great stories for sure.

[@michaelrumfelt3106]

heard his health wasn't good. hope he is doing well

[@intheloosestuff9273]

@michaelrumfelt3106 he has no use of his hands or legs but other than that he was the same ol Cale. Keep praying for him. The smile was worth a million dollars.

So glad to see Harry doing well. At 83 years old he's looking good!! Full head of hair and no gray!😅

[@Rocket-ck3qn]

You mother jammer, I can't believe it,, you and beautiful, got the interview Harry Gant, I know everything's a surprise with you all, wish I could go back in time and get you to ask Harry, at least one Beltsville speedway story, if you remember, when Bobby Allison was, doing them interviews on that many show he was doing, can't recall which one it was a handful interviews in a shop, and he says,, we were running down Maryland,, he may have said, and that was our short track was Beltsville speedway back in the day, we had a dirt track, that was Dorsey, speedway, put all the great race that Beltsville, asphalt, you know what I mean I'm not discredited and nobody from there was some badass dirt track races,.. boy was there.

What a story teller. Harry remembers seemingly every lap he ever ran. He must have a photographic memory.

I polished the stainless for a restoration customer. I replaced the frame on a 55 Sport Coupe and put a 12 bolt in it, he planned to put a 496 crate in it iron heads. I talked him into letting me build him a 377 with a 4 bolt main and a Muncie. M-21 and an eleven inch diameter clutch. That 377, I used the main adapters and caps built it light and with.034 gasket and I even grooved the chambers ( Softened the chamber 😮

I was always a Bill Elliott fan but loved seeing Harry drive and win any time . . . He was soooo smooth

My daddy was a friend of Harry's. I remember many a times eating breakfast with him at the country corner in Hiddenite when I was lil. Between him and daddy telling stories from back in the day, you couldn't get a word in edge wise😂
