Best comment in the video is at the beginning. Junior Johnson, "He was the best race car driver I ever seen". That says it all!
@jeremythompson91225 жыл бұрын
That's about as high of a praise you can get as a race car driver. Junior is probably the greatest race driver on dirt the world has ever known. He honed his skills outrunning the law on those twisty back country dirt roads of North Carolina while delivering moonshine for his dad. These drivers today aren't as good as the old timers who had to drive big heavy cars at really high speeds with no power steering, no power brakes, shitty bias ply tires, and no traction control or any other type of computer assisted help like the modern cars have. That took some real driving skills

I watched him race at Islip , Freeport, Riverhead and Treton. It was unbelievable, Cook ,Troyer, Ray Hendrick and that 99 whole was my favorite when he would come. Artie Tappen was my all time man. You always got Evans best and i met him in 1974 in the pits at Islip. He was unbelievable how he could drive. I still have all the pictures from the 70s. The loss of him was a devastating one to the mod squad.

What I love about this documentary are two things. The first is the story revolves around a driver who put one of the premiere nascar development series on the map. And helped to establish the Modified championships of America on the map. Secondly, it’s narrated by the smooth and endearing tones of nascar commentator Ken Squier. A legend in the box and the VO booth. Miss you dearly Ken.

In all those old racing books are used to read all of them are used to have 10 or 30 of them just had Richie E Evans. He is one of theThe only modified champions of the biggest and many races of all time just remembering he’s being remembered 37 years ago I wasn’t even born yet when he was racing I used to hear about him all the time running at Fulton Speedway running at Utica Rome Speedway and Fonda Speedway a lot of the modified dirt modified run their big blocks to small block they all run there

I remember a friend of my dad's who asked me who won the most Nascar championships and I responded Dale Earnhardt Sr. I was only 5 or 6. He told me that I was half right. He told me Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr were tied. That prompted me to look it up on my dad's computer and I discovered Richie Evans. I shocked him when I told him that we were both wrong. I remember looking up why NASCAR doesn't retire numbers and I found that Richie Evans number is unofficially retired as no modified team uses it anymore. I'm 22 now and I just came across this video. It's hard to know that the Dale Sr of modifieds suffered a similar fate.

Yes it was Vermont where I wrecked. Richie was a few years before my time or circa. I started out running about 1992 Richie was a god that inspired young guys like me. To me men like Richie Dale and Davy Allison Fireball Roberts The King they were all gods of sorts the men we strived to imitate every weekend show. Our friends and families were affected by our poor decisions accidents and financial disasters. But we all lived life as only race car drivers lived. I still build stuff for shits and giggles and everynow and then I show at local tracks and put my two cents where I feel the need. Everyone says you look so familiar... That's when I walk back to my seat. I love to be a LIVING ghost in the crowd. A young driver that recognized me for just such an act at Mahoning valley Speedway was at the Local Wal-Mart when he saw me again. He yelled LONG LIVE THE SEVENTEEN CAR and thanks for the clip hangar advice old man... I never thought I would ever be called an old man either...

I ran the larger tracks as much as I could I was hungry for big banking like Wall Stadium and Dover. I went where they let ya bounty hunt in the early days I didn't start running the circuit until the 90's. I live a hop skip and jump from Nazareth though wish they would have kept it open.

Lee Northrup was the name my grandfather (Richard Northrup ran in USAC in the 60s 70s and early 80s he then raced dirt mods from 1986-1993 he ended up getting killed in a practice run in a sprint car at tri county speedway sometime in 1994
