Every time I saw Nascar content on this channel, the content even greater than the last. I'm gotta say this channel is the greatest NASCAR content on KZbin. Other just comments on a Driver and others just made a crash compilation of NASCAR. But step ahead from everyone by giving a history of what happened in the first Talladega Races, the boycott, one-season wonderkid, and more... Can't wait on the first S1Ap road trip to the track that demolished and gone (it's fair to say that... There's nothing left in Air Base Speedway, it buried on the concrete where nothing left behind to see... Same fate like the Las Vegas Circuit, built for one season F1 only, and it gone, buried on the concrete wall of department store or the warehouse. I checked it on Google street view, and it's impossible to tell where are the exact remains of the Air Base Speedway)

Thanks for making this video S1apSh0es. One would be surprised how much actual NASCAR history was lost over the years. Thanks for setting the record straight for everyone.

I’m not even a real NASCAR fan. I do know the drivers and teams and tracks, but wouldn’t be considered a fan by anyone. I found this video so very entertaining and informational. Thank you and everyone for your diligence. I am now a subscriber and will get caught up on your previous and future work! Good Job! Neal W.

Was a huge fan from about the age of 7 to about 22. It's been a few years and this channel is bringing me back to watching NASCAR. Subscribed. Thank you for your work and to all those who helped :) Considering their falling in ratings/views, this is the type of content NASCAR should be investing in. Goodluck!
