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

Ray Evernham and Rob Kaufmann recently announced that they had acquired the rights to the historic International Race Of Champions (IROC) series that Penske had started in the early 70s and run until 2006.

Among are names you may recognize!
Mark Martin
Bobby Labonte

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.

[@fishhuntadventure]

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. )

Seeing Mark behind the wheel again was good for my soul. My childhood self was cheering him to victory lol

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.

Seriously cool. I'm 60 now and saw plenty of IROC races on TV back in the day. My favorite car is the Root Beer Camaro. So many awesome colors and to see these cars alive again brings back some great memories.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man we’re glad you’re here for it!

[@JGR4LIFE20]

[@trackandtrail1]

The post race gathering of those drivers is possibly the coolest thing I've seen in a very long time. Huge props Mitchell.

[@Stapleton42]

Thank you!

[@dennislamers986]

Wow that was so cool. To see the "old" guys get together and B.S. session post race was timeless. Thanks Stapleton for bringing here.

[@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

[@mattskustomkreations]

Something to consider is that there are so many other venues for information, and so many more sports. And other entertainment to choose from. Too much competition for attention. It used to be just a few venues to shine a few spotlights on the stars. But… If the spotlights are now on everyone, then there’s a spotlight on no one.

[@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

[@ItsJustCarl1983]

This is awesome, especially when all the drivers gathered and were talking trash to each other. I appreciate the work you are doing here on KZbin and throughout the racing community.

I appreciate that!

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

[@mayhem035]

I don't know fa about these guys . They were road racing those cars in the days? Best race ever watching live , NASCARs racing a road race! Loved it! Those cars are not designed for that! Man, where they going at it! ✌️🤟👍👌♥️ 🇨🇦

I heard a rumor that Mark Martin personally owns the green avenger he was driving.

IROC was one of the great ideas of its time....give every driver the same car and you get a chance to see the greatness of each driver independent of the vehicle. That being said, they're great cars too!

[@Mocker9091]

Back in the 1990s IROC cars were set-up by 3 legends, 2 that have passed. Jim Sauter and Dick Trickle took the checkered flag in 2014 and 2013 respectively. Dave Marcis still wearing the wing-tip racing shoes. The racecar is his "office". Just thought these 3 deserved a mention in this fantastic video! Great job!!

[@deadeyeski]

Awesome stuff. We had so much fun at the park. I can't believe Mark Martin sat in our golf cart to sign autographs after the main event! I asked on a couple pages on FB but no reply if anyone has any photos of that. However, Mark Martin did reply to my comment on his post about going to the track. I told him we found his HANS, and he said he was able to get it back. Thanks so much for that. And once again, thanks for posting some cool content to get my son interested in attending the races at LRP. Once he saw that video of Ray's garage, he made it a point to find you at the track. Every where he looked, "'is that him?". I hope you guys had a fun time at Lime Rock. Next time, I am making sure to sneak underneath the advertising banners as the cars pull out from the cold pits.

[@Stapleton42]

[@RLRSwanson]

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.

3 words. Un fuckin real. One of the top things I have watched in recent decades.

Thank you very much!!

I loved those Avengers in period, but seeing them again and especially the sublime green Martin car really drives up the must have factor. Thanks for filming it!

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man!

[@scottmaz4063]

I loved IROC thank you so much for showing this. Saw the other racing on tv. But they didn't show the IROC.

[@Stapleton42]

It wasn’t actually a race. Just an exhibition demonstration

[@scottmaz4063]

@Stapleton42 I know but I hoped they would show it. Thank you so much for the video, it was great 👍 👌

I have not watched the whole video yet, but what amazing content. Its awesome that Ray is bringing these beautiful cars back where they belong on the track. My favourite cars are the Firebirds, I love the look of them, and they were the ones raced when I got into racing when I was a kid. I wish I was there in person to hear the absolute wicked sounding x-pipe cars.

Thank you Jeffrey!

I remember some of the first races with the ‘83 IROC Camaro and then Firebirds. Pretty cool stuff, man you’re a blessed fellow to share that with your girl too. I love to watch the road racing, it so competitive and shows the real talent of the skilled drivers. Be blessed.

[@Stapleton42]

Thank you!

To see all the drivers together and watch them ribbing each other was really great.I was watching them when Mark and both Earnhardts were battling, seeing Sr and Jr at Michigan is still a great memory for me.Thanks for doing it.
