1989 IROC Race #2 - Nazareth

[@Superbdrivemate]

The driver intro piece is pretty funny. The highlights of all these champions are nothing but wrecks!

[@rjones61360]

haha! thats what i was laughing about myself!

[@frankhite8769]

yeah that's a horrible way to introduce these guys as "the best drivers in the business" haha!

[@tedgey4286]

Did you see the interview before the 1st race? Interviewed Foyt and Petty and the whole interview was about how you guys are too old for this

[@nascarvintage17]

@@tedgey4286 ho the bastards the podcasters lmao

[@finntjomstol9364]

Some really incredible clips too!

[@chuckzechman1497]

I was at this race. Love the IROC series and had the opportunity to be at The IROC to Lime Rock Reunion. Hope Ray can bring it back!

I was lucky enough to attend this as a young kid! I grew up in Bethlehem and went to all the Busch races at Nazareth from 1988 util 2000 or so plus a few 2 or 3 IndyCar races in the early 90s when Pocono was dropped. This is arguably the greatest line-up of drivers I ever saw! I was a bit too young to truly appreciate attending this at the time. Penske did an awesome job developing Nazareth. It's a shame ISC bought it then ran it into the ground....

[@thedirtybubble9613]

Did you go to any truck races at Nazareth?

[@tuowl0564]

@@thedirtybubble9613 Just the first one! I remember it being marred by rain all day! Rusty Wallace was in it...

[@de-fault_de-fault]

Nazareth joined the CART schedule in 1987 so there were 3 years with both Nazareth and Pocono. Nazareth was a much better managed track and I really enjoyed watching the short track show the Indy cars put on back then. I went to every race from 1987-95 and I still hate that it will almost certainly never come back.

I use to go down to 45 Park Road in Tinton Falls, NJ to visit the IROC race shop. I worked with a guy (Can't remember his name) at Permacel Tape. We worked the night shift from Midnight till 8AM. After that this guy would go down to the IROC shop where he worked on the IROC cars. He introduced me to Jay Signore and Ray Evernham and they let me check out the cars being worked on and I was told I could just walk around. One of the workers ask if I would like to get in and sit in a IROC car which was great. I could at least say the cars I saw being worked on were the same cars that would be racing in the next race.

[@mattkowal90]

I live 10 minutes from the facility and it is so sad every time I drive by. I still have Pocono, but Nazareth always put on competitive racing. Want to know how difficult it was to win there let alone more than once? In Xfinity competition, only two drivers won there more than once. Tim Fedewa and Truck Series Champion Ron Hornaday Jr. won twice. The shape of the track actually mirrors Walt Disney World and Phoenix. Many notable drivers that won there include Rick Mast, Chuck Bown, Ron Hornaday, Ricky Craven, Todd Bodine, Elliott Sadler, Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle, and Martin Truex Jr.

Посмотри на этого мужыга. Можешь ли ты представить что каждый раз когда он проходит мимо завода АвтоВаз, то расшивается слёзами?

[@chrisbalton]

Such a shame Nazareth , Langhorne, Flemington, Trenton, Islip, Freeport , Bridgehampton all gone .

[@MRosati5000]

The real estate becomes valuable.

[@es7614]

Always looked forward to the IROC races. Thanks for sharing this one! Love it.

[@michaelhazen3153]

They need to bring back Nazareth. A great track with a unique personality.

[@firefoxking4277]

sadly its long gone

[@jamesfarmer3759]

Yep what a shame went to a lot of races there. The craftsman trucks and modifieds were the best

[@rancan44able]

Miss the iroc series... they need to bring it back .. and race the old tracks like Wilkesboro and rockingham .. or even bowman grey would be amazing

[@michaelleighton3582]

Buford. Car drivers adjusted well there not use to these cars.

[@ragingbull154]

Too bad this track isn't used anymore. Last pictures I saw it was grown up in weeds and falling apart.

[@weaverkevin5462]

I lived 5 mile from that track.

[@tlee717]

Is a shopping center

[@steelers6mk]

I saw some great racing at that place. It was so unique. The backstretch went downhill.

[@israelmathes6268]

​@@weaverkevin5462it's still there I know they take the stands down. I heard that it demolished it

[@derrickdesslok2926]

Always loved each driver introduced while showing their crashes

[@ricksorber9562]

I ❤❤❤ that white car. I had a 1991 Z28 that looked just like it.

[@christophertaylor2464]

Thank you for putting this on KZbin. I liked and subscribed to your channel and looking forward to seeing more videos of races. Thank you

[@weaverkevin5462]

I forgotten to say that is right down the road from Mario Andreties house.

You also use throttle at any track to fix a tight or loose car. For a loose car you brake slightly later and stay off throttle slightly longer. Tight car you can brake earlier and probably get on throttle quicker.

[@xr4ti548]

All the intro highlights (lowlights?) is of these great champions crashing out. Utterly misguided watch bait.

[@marlinfan14]

Pretty funny how they are showing all the drivers crashes during the Driver Intros yet they are Praising how talented these 12 drivers are lmao.

[@nullwii]

does this video keep stuttering for anyone else?

[@rmcorvette2023]

Yeah me too 23:45

[@edchmi]

Yep

[@christophertaylor2464]

I was looking to see if anyone else was having trouble with the sound. So I guess it's not just me I will go back to the race. One helluva line up of drivers.

[@robertdoriety]

Pretty cool to find out this was in my hometown

[@AmyJoeFink]

It always pissed me off to “honor” the drivers in the intros they show their greatest accidents 😖

[@Armors-UK]

😯 nice video

[@weaverkevin5462]

Where is Mikey Andreotti.

[@schoolcraftT]

He is an Indy car owner.

[@sadsharksvehementcomics8265]

Michael wasn't as big of a deal back then, that's my guess at least.

[@DouglasMerry-o4k]

REAL RACING

[@camarowland4]

What a line up.

[@antonyblalock2696]

[@NELLY-jg2rx]

Damn, Petty just rammed into him at the start!

[@RicondaRacing]

When there's a sale on hair gel at the Jersey shore...

[@z28camaro71]

Nice

[@tomupchurch4911]

Was it "Brabham Predictable"?

[@TracksideViews]

I’ve got some pretty good pit road videos over the last few years. Check em out!

[@BarryJowers]

It's a shame whats become of this once great tack

[@dac3790]

Paul Page said Foyt in a rose car, but it looks pink...which goes totally against anything AJ Foyt.

[@pixelnazgul]

This car's as bad as F40. Only works when there's no other car on the road.
