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.

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 🎬
