These drivers, their families and all involved paved the way for decades of entertainment and fun. It's so unfortunate that what used to be so wonderful, has literally turned into a 170 mph, rolling billboard show, where the corporate advertisers dictate policy and rules. They've even dictated what the fans can or cannot wear or display. But I will say this... Hard times creates strong men, strong men make easy times, easy times create soft men, soft men create hard times. ♾️ Right now we're at the "soft men" part. . Do with that what you will.

I agree 💯 today's generation is soft and afraid of hard work...they sit behind a computer and eat junk food and wonder why they're fat... I've lived a long time and by far this is the worst I've seen it in years....I know things change and people work smarter not harder but it definitely shows if you look around and see all the overweight people..I wish I could show one day of my dear old grandpa working out in the field or cutting wood all day, people wouldn't believe me if I told them how hard we had to work just to get by..

@@carpenter5575 And God forbid that anyone tries to suggest that they try and lose weight. Of course there's other, more polite ways of doing so other than saying "FATTYFATTYBOOMBALATTY!" 😏 Or the classic "BOOMBABBABOOM" as they waddle down the cookie isle. I've gotten a good bit of negative push back for stating this opinion but IMHO, the downturn started with the "anti bullying" campaigns. And I'm not talking about that kid who's parent drinks and kicks them around, going around taking his anger out on weaker kids... I'm talking about how we used to keep the weirdos and spaz kids in check. . Like when the creepy nerd that never bathes is acting creepy around the cheerleaders, staring at them while slobbering.. Or the strange looking quiet kid trying to sneak into the girls locker room.. 😳 when that happened the results would be the football players introducing those weirdos heads to the toilet bowl. And the classic "atomic wedgie" was a great way to find out if the nerd was wearing girls underwear. My point is that society was self levelling at one point. But we've allowed weak people to open the gates for more weak people and it's causing terrible problems... Our adversaries around the world are watching as we spiral downward. And are circling like vultures.

The most interesting part of this movie was meeting Mr.Nance and Nance is my last name and my dad and my family have grown up racing and do other action sports and my uncle LaVern Nance is in the hall of Fame in the Sprint car scene rather than nascar but when I heard Nance I had to ask my dad about it and it brought back memories for him

@jackrucker50492 ай бұрын
Nance was a generic name used because the real family did not give them permission to use there name. It is France by the way, and the only connection to the Nance name which was a pioneer in the Sprint Car racing world, was the fact that they were both in automobile racing. Not at that table in Daytona, but sitting at the bar within ear shot was the real man that backed Bill France, and financed NASCAR, as well as being the guarantee that they would be payed at every race. He was a wealthy businessman from Atlanta, Georgia that made his early fortunes with and underground lottery, and the liquor business. His name was Raymond Parks, and his car, driven by his cousin Loyd Seay from Dawsonville, Georgia was the first NASCAR National Champion. Without his enormous contributions, Bill France’s dream would have never been possible, and he is not even referenced a single time in this film, nor has NASCAR ever given him credit for what he did. As a side note, the name NASCAR stands for National Association Of Stock Car Auto Racing and was thought of by Red Voigt, at the infamous meeting that day at the Streamline Hotel on Daytona (Ormand) Beach.

Wow where do I start ?The year was 1968 my grandparents took me and my younger cousin to a speedway in upstate N.Y. I've been a race fan all my life. My dad died 2 1/2 years ago ,about a year before he died he purchased a 1947 Ford deluxe I guess with a flathead that was restored by a former race driver from the fifties. To bad the car had sit so long it needed work to be drivable. My dad passed away before he had much opportunity to enjoy the 47 ford . He would have loved this movie as I liked it a lot also. One thing I've learned about racing through the years is ,racing and marriage very rarely get along . Yeh I used to be a Nascar fan myself but Saturday night at the speedway I grew up at, Lebanon Valley speedway is plenty for me Thanks for the movie 🎬
