[@TKangas]

Absolutely love this episode! Team Huffman Racing still winning with that Old School Vibe. This is real racing! Yo, big money teams, take a lesson in the love of racing, real grassroots style.

[@Stapleton42]

I agree. There needs to be more Huffmans out there

[@bluegrassboy2448]

Hey Mitchell! So glad you highlighted this Robert and Landon and his family! Hickory is my local track and since Jeff Gordon retired I don't keep up with the big leagues as often, so my racing hero currently is Landon Huffman 🤘.

[@steverobertson4338]

What a great shop with a rich history. Family is so important to successful racing. When my dad retired from racing, that was it. He wanted nothing to do with racing, period. I have struggled to make races without family support. But I sure learned a lot over the years. Love watching your racing Landen. You do so much yourself.

[@troyhartley656]

I remember watching Robert race ,loved the dash series

[@jefferyrobertson7520]

Robert Huffman Drove NASCAR Busch Grand National Series V6 Engine From The Early 90s Thanks For Uploading

[@bradleyweaver9488]

Great family! Landon and I grew up at the dash races watching our dad’s race. Robert was very talented and he sold alot of dash cars for my dad (Scott Weaver). Very cool that because of Robert one of the chassis my dad built made it to the hall of fame.

[@jdhaase1417]

Huffman racing. My favorite late model racing channel. Also remember Robert Huffman racing Dash series.

[@jonwood8282]

The Huffman's are good poeple.Great Video

[@jeffbergen4612]

Mitchell I cannot wait to watch this tonight!! I just saw it pop up at work. I've been following Landon for a few years now, basically since they started using the old shop again to run their late model program. I've been hoping for this for a while!!

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks Jeff!!

[@richreinhart7181]

We bought White House apple juice because of Robert. Thank you again for showcasing a guy that not many people know now, but we sure as hell did back in the 90`s

[@Stapleton42]

Thank you Rich!

[@larryparlier1152]

Go back and watch Goody's Dash races at Bristol.Its so cool they sound like a bee hive.

[@georgetincher7859]

I loved.....LOVED the Goody's Dash Series. It was unique and fun racing. NASCAR needs to bring back the Dash Series for compact 4 cylinders, return the Busch/Nationwide/XFinity Series to V-6 engines and let Cup and Trucks retain the V-8. Give race fans and race teams more variety and options. Unique stuff is cool! I loved hearing these "angry bumblebees" take on the high-banks at Daytona. They put on a great show.

[@terrygarvin1392]

That would encourage innovation and stop the march to spec racing.

[@Blackswan19874]

Great video Mitchell !! Been following Landon for about 2 years now and knew a bit about Robert , they both are the old school that’s fading away ( sadly ) real racers that know how to build their own cars and how to get every Pennie’s worth out of their equipment! Thanks for covering this great family !

[@intimidator.jb3470]

Mitch, thanks for what you do for NASCAR and the History of the sport. You have single handedly brought ALOT of awareness to this wonderful sport we love. Thanks, and keep up the good work !! 👍

[@jameswelch4716]

To be honest, I wasn't aware of Huffman's Racing. But through the video, I learned about this family. Thank you. I enjoyed learning something new today.

[@Stapleton42]

That’s awesome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@genebullard6492]

Hell Yea!!!! Huffman Racing with Mitchell!!! Sick vid!!!!

[@vanslawson2329]

He was one of the best. He won a few times at Summerville Speedway. My daughter was 3-5 years old at the time. He won and after that I had to buy White House apple juice. She called it racecar juice.

[@Stapleton42]

That’s epic. Proof of an effective sponsorship!

[@benwatkins7600]

Thats so cute!

[@davewilliams1097]

I was a regular at Summerville Speedway in the thunder and lightning division a couple of years and saw you and your dad there many nights. Great to see someone from Summerville commenting on these awesome videos...

[@derrickvincent6398]

Really enjoyed the content. My local dirt track produced a lot of Goodys Dash drivers. Jake Hobgood, Will Hobgood, Daryl Murray, and BJ Mackey. Brought back a lot of memories

[@cndream1]

In your closing outro you mentioned "the people" . Sadly thats what we are missing today, THE PEOPLE. All of the people from the 70, 80, 90s created NASCAR and the mystique from begining on the dirt track and they "clawed" their way up. They paved the way for streets of gold for others that followed and did not end up with much if any of it. Nowadays we dont have people, we have drivers, a lot buy their way in, collect the gold and kick back. How can a 21 year old have the grit, wisdom, experiance that Huffman or the many others had. It was a tough life for them but for the love of the sport

[@NCWoodlandRoamer]

Man I used to watch him race at Hickory every Saturday night back in the 90s! I remember him running the dash series and some Busch races. Your history videos are incredible!

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man!!

[@NCWoodlandRoamer]

@@Stapleton42You should talk to Dennis Setzer also if you haven’t already.

[@RyanSeek]

Another excellent video! As soon as I saw Huffman in the thumb I was clicking through! Glad to see you hook up with Landon. I've been following him for awhile now. I'm pretty familiar with his dad from the old days when I used to work in NASCAR. I was actually associated with Robert Huffman's arch-apple rival in the Dash Series. I did the website for Ricky Bryant and he had sponsorship from Washington Apples. So I remember Huffman's apple cars well, and I remember him helping get Toyota off the ground as they were preparing to enter the Truck Series (and later Cup). The elder Huffman isn't featured very much on Landon's channel so that's the first time I've seen him in depth in a video recently and boy howdy, the apple didn't fall far from the tree with Landon and his dad! They look and sound very similar, even the mannerisms are alike in some ways. Great racers and a really good people, I have a ton of respect for the Huffman's and always cheering for Landon whenever I get to see him race. Sadly, that's only via KZbin videos because I don't live in NC anymore, or anywhere near there and those guys seldom come run out west here. Anyway, this video brought back a lot of fond memories for me. I always get a ton of value from your videos and I can't thank you enough for that. I never listened much to my teachers either and I did okay in life.

[@sforgus27]

Man, this really made my day…2 of my top 5 favorite channels in one video! Completely and thoroughly awesome!

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Very cool! I always look at these NASCAR/racing videos you post, don't always comment, so here I am still kicking and enjoying your episodes in here! Appreciate you guys immensely as always, and am there with you all! Thanks Mitch & Logan!

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching! We appreciate you!

[@davidbeers5949]

Mitchell I'm 70 years old and never knew there was that series in NASCAR. Thank you for doing this video.

[@michaelsheets6851]

Originally, it was only raced at North Wilkesboro for a few races in 1973. In 1975, NASCAR picked up the series. When it started, they used 4 cylinder engines. Later on, they started using the 4 banger and v6's. In the end, it was all v6s. It was mostly run in the south. It was a cheaper way to race at a higher level.

[@Stapleton42]

Thank you David!!

[@michaelraypiercy7393]

This one was awesome I watch Landons KZbin series every time it's on this was a great video really enjoyed this one

[@Stapleton42]

Thank you Michael!

[@michaelraypiercy7393]

@Stapleton42 yes sir I appreciate what you and people like Landon do because it us better insight of how the lives of racers and how they have you come through the ranks and how they have built their shops and race cars it very interesting to know this stuff

[@talladegajunkie1439]

Stapleton X Huffman! I've never clicked on a video so fast!

[@Stapleton42]

Heck yeah

[@talladegajunkie1439]

@Stapleton42 I was hoping you would eventually do a video of the Huffman Racing shops! From all I'd seen on Landon's videos through the years, I knew you'd be a kid in a candy shop seeing all those hoods and roofs and noses and whatnot! Also, get your ESP working so we can all get Landon into restoring that Dash car!

[@stevesidden9584]

Great show as always. I used to race in the day series back in the day. I started racing when it was first called baby grands and then moved up. Brings back a lot of fond memories good show God bless stay safe my friend 👍👍👍👍

Ive been subscribed to Landon for a bit now. I have his first diecast too. Love the old school vibe the shop videos have. Compared to some of the other teams

[@jaymay75]

Great video Mitch, I’ve been thinking Landon would do this video about Robert but I’m really happy you did it so both could interact on it. I’ve never heard Rob talk that much so this was really cool. I watched him race when I could and he was always hard to beat.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man. I never knew much about Robert before this video either!

Thanks for another great video. You and Logan are doing an amazing job of being racing historians. I know about Landon, but I never had any knowledge about his Dads awesome history. I've been into racing since the 1960's. I will be 62 April 19th, and I have learned more about racing from y'all than anywhere else. I've been following you since the yellow belly days, and when the Escalade was black.

[@RearEngineShop]

Nothing better than some little known history. Love all the stories.

[@marcbeaulieu1874]

Loving every videos you guys do, i am a big Canadian racing fan, and love the stories you provide us on these legends of motorsports, even loved the one on Hydroplane racing, i heard several legends like Mark Martin and there was another who mentioned Junior Hanley i think it was the video with the #99 Mustang car of Dick Trickle in it?, anyway i for one would really really really love to see a video on Hanley, he must be in his 80's now and it would be a tragedy if no video existed on this great Canadian legendary driver and car builder, i've read that he even built the asphalt #49 Camaro for the movie Six-Pack starring Kenny Rogers, Hanley raced all over, built cars in nearly every Stock Car racing series, he definitely has tons of amazing stories to tell (especially about his long time Canadian rival Don Biederman, and ASA greats like Senneker, Miller, Kulwicki, Eddy, Trickle, Martin, etc...) so much so, you're gonna need to divide them into several parts. I believe Hanley still lives in Wisconsin or Michigan (maybe even back in Nova Scotia?) and still races around these two States if not he is probably still building them?. Thanks for the amazing vids.

[@kevinbarrett5001]

Awesome Awesome video of the Huffman's. I was a big big fan of Mr Robert when he ran Dash cars back in the day and have meant Landon at several tracks. Awesome guy. Keep up the great videos guys 👍🏁👍🏁

And about the GREAT Robert Huffman to boot! HOW IN THE H-E double hocky-sticks AM I SUPPOSED TO GET TO SLEEP NOW!? 🤣😂😜 Of course I'm joking (for the most part anyway 😜) Thanks for another GREAT VIDEO my friends and, of course, GOD BLESS 🙏❤️✌️

Thanks man! I am surprised to see you actually got a notification lol the recommendation system has been unfavorable to us lately.

[@resqfreedom9308]

Over the years, especially since I have been watching your channel, I've noticed something I believe is very, VERY IMPORTANT! You cannot, in any way, shape or form, measure the amount of love a person has for something with statistics! If that was the case, Robert Huffman would have won every single pole, heat or feature he ever entered! Robert Huffman ABSOLUTELY LOVES RACING! I'm working on another theory about how it runs in the genes too. So this episode is going to play a big part of my conclusion! 😜 **COMING SOON**😜✌️ Thanks again guys ✌️🙏❤️

[@allglorytogod12]

Long time follower of LH so this was pretty cool. I'm kind of glad you don't research too much before these. I'm not sure it would make your videos better. But yea, the places you go or are shown are so important. They tell their own stories and spawn a ton of great stories from the people being "interviewed". I don't think just having a sit down talk with these guys would come close to how interesting your content is. That works better for Jr or Kenny and that is fine. You're doing work to capture a lot more history that will likely be watched or used by others in the future. And as time marches on, these buildings will continue to disappear losing countless stories and history. Great stories from Robert, I remember him from the GDS days.

[@Stapleton42]

Thank you very much

[@scotthall756]

Back when there was actual speed weeks in Daytona, I was always bummed when they didn’t show the dash race or showed it tape delayed. It always looks like one of the more fun races of the weekend. I think it ran on Friday before or after the iRoc race.

[@2LabsGarage]

Back in the late 90s early 2000s, The NASCAR Racing 2 NASCAR racing 1999 sim games, there were these online forums, My handle was Dash37 because of Robert Huffman and the 37 White house car. I was a big fan of the Goody's Dash series, I wish it was still around. In my opinion they should have stuck with the 4 cyl engines. Just going to dangle this out there, another historic stock car to get going and run at a track day?!?!

[@troyskiles6030]

Another great video, Mitchell, Thanks! If you ever get up to the Michigan area, contact Mike Eddy and Bob Senneker, Those would get great ratings. Mark Martin should be able to put you in touch with those cats, for sure.
