IROC Returns! Legendary Drivers Reunited With Historic IROC Race Cars! (Behind The Scenes)

[@Stapleton42]

Help IROC grow and leave a thumbs up on the video! Speak up in the comments let them know what you want to see! We were so pumped to be here for this and can’t wait to see where it goes. What’s your favorite car?

[@kevinbelcher8490]

Were you able to display your car that you built?

[@alkennedy1124]

It’s good to see IROC cars out on track again, I love it, ray is a leader oh f you like racing and race cars , then you need to get rid of the Kamala Harris adds on your channel, ok right , thanks BigAl California.

[@fishhuntadventure]

@@alkennedy1124 I was nauseated myself hearing her ad. She wants support “defeat Donald Trump again” but I’m more interested in moving America forward, securing our borders, protecting our economy, ending the precipice of war(s), and making America great for my grandkids that will be adults in 8 and 11 years from now. NOT interested in giving money to a candidate whose goal is to defeat a candidate rather than offering compelling reasons to vote for him or her.

[@fishhuntadventure]

What car did I like?! Unser! A beautiful vintage, and way more character than the later non Camaro cars. Apparently porsche wasn’t memorable to me because I have no lasting impressions.

What car did I like?! B. Unser A beautiful vintage! And way more character than the later non Camaro cars. Apparently porsche wasn’t memorable to me because I have no lasting impressions. But yes, cars that look like a car you could buy at the dealer are of great interest to me. Which is partially why xfinity has become more interesting to me than cup these days (even though I know there’s little resemblance to a production car in those, either. But it’s nevertheless more appealing still. )

[@nascarmanHistory]

So cool seeing these guys like Mark Martin and Danny Sullivan back behind the wheel. IROC is so awesome

[@Stapleton42]

I agree man. Danny is super cool I hope we can do something with his own history in the future. I hope Mark wants to do more stuff like this with his cars too.

[@illlllsmoke]

Awesome right

[@greggossman492]

I'm old enough I can remember watching all the generations of IROC cars on TV. This is AMAZING! I love hearing the different engine exhaust too!!!!! Oh! the memories!!!!!!!

[@neilforehand1121]

Yep, always watched the show “Wild World of Sports” seems they always televised IROC

[@seanhoward8025]

Mark is soooooo smooth! He’s the MAN!!!

[@b.w.22]

I’m adding an additional comment for the algorithm: So, to me, the most iconic IROC car has to be the 3rd generation Camaro. When I think of IROC, I think of the 1984 season where Cale Yarborough was the victor and included DW, Earnhardt, and a name I never forgot, Emerson Fittipaldi. The top Winston Cup guys were household names in South Carolina as was Mario Andretti, but the other open-wheel guys often had these exotic names that seemed so cool. What’s funny, thinking back, is that I wasn’t even a proper fan of auto racing back then, aside from the general enthusiasm for cars and racing that any boy back then had, and I just couldn’t sit still for it. That said, everyone knew the names Waltrip, Petty, Yarborough, and Andretti, just like you’d know the names OJ Simpson, Larry Bird, Joe Montana, John Riggins, Madden, McEnroe, Pete Rose, etc. It’s different days, but I suspect that the names Truex, Chastain, or Bowman aren’t known by all kids, though it’s probably true for most other sports. But more than anything, that tells me that Cup Racing hasn’t been well-managed recently.

[@illlllsmoke]

Yea, I agree NASCAR hasn't done a good job trying to promote the drivers like they did in the 90s especially. Alot didn't care about NASCAR, it was Pretty boy Jeff Gordon vs The Intimidator Dale Earnhardt. I loved the sport back then but some only knew it for that

[@pittsky]

So good to see Geoff Bodine back in a race car.

[@michaelwhite278]

Yes! Not a big IROC guy but loved seeing Geoff!

[@robertjohnson4784]

Wow what a video I'm 63 years old and that video took me back a lot of those Racers were my age in their Prime racing those IROC cars it was one of my favorite races to watch a big thank you to Stapleton 42

I saw this event. It was great. I hope that it can sustain itself financially so that it becomes a viable event year after year. All the spectators had a wonderful time seeing these driving legends in person. Mark Martin really was the best, and very personable. I think that these drivers all appreciated that anyone still cares about them so long after retirement.

[@Stapleton42]

I agree completely

[@Brad-S]

Great part, seeing all those drivers together. Best part, seeing all those driver's smiles after the race. Thanks Mitchell and Logan. Well done.

What an absolute treat. The end when everybody just kind of gravitated organically to where you happened to be was an amazing moment. I grew up in the Firebird IROC era. The way those things sound in a pack gives me chills.

This is awesome! I remember the 80s through the 2006 when the series was hot. Even remember the race that Martin Brundle won at Cleveland

[@goodpplz123]

I love IROC. Equally prepared cars that makes it about the drivers talent. I loved watching Mark Martin whip butt in one of these.

[@tomhowe1510]

Ya. That takes the big money out and gives a flat playing surface. This type actually shows you who is the best that day. Now cap the driver's pay and you have a entry level fair sport with no crying.

So many childhood heroes...Mark, Al Jr. Danny Sullivan, Davy Jones, the list goes on in one video back together doing racecar stuff, 10/10 awesome. You guys got to be a part of something very special and us in youtubeland are lucky that you could video some of it for us to watch. Though I'm quite fond of old RSR Porsches and 70s Camaros and Firebirds, the 84-89 IROC Camaros are "my generation" if I got what you were saying. Oh and definitely do a history piece on Bob Sharp if you get the opportunity...who knows, maybe out of that will blossom the hook up to Don Devendorf, John Knepp and Electramotive to complete that arc covering some significant american motorsports history from the 70s to the early 90s...also you can't go wrong with Paul Newman, EFI pioneering, turbos etc. Again there doesn't seem to be a whole lot out there aside from Adam Carolla talking about the Bob Sharp Datsuns he's acquired, a couple of out of print (afaik) books and some quite superficial videos on the last IMSA NPT-90(or 91) and 300ZX Nissans.
