Great video 👍 There is only one way to exhibit history and that's with the genuine items and the people who lived it. The Petty Brothers are fine examples of Chief's accomplishments. This level of respect and dedication are uncommon traits in today's world.

[@Stapleton42]

We agree!

[@roberthill2219]

YES! A comprehensive history of Chrysler racing engines! The early Hemi stuff like the Ray Nichols Firestone Indy car, the 300 NASCAR program and definitely a trip to Florida to see Don Garlits! It's time that you did more drag stuff as well, the H-M GT40 content was awesome and proves that your viewers want more then just NASCAR history! There is a massive group of people in the Indianapolis area working together to preserve Indy and Sprint car history. The SRVA Trans Am guys are incredible. Maybe you should even go check out the Southeast Gassers bunch (Quain and his guys are some of the nicest people in drag racing) the next time they race at Mooresville... This format is a winner and the two of you are CHAMPIONS!!!

[@moparmat_1933]

Watching from the great deep freeze, Canada. I was watching this episode on cast to a t.v from my phone. I heard you ask, so I picked up my phone and began writing this comment. I'm not a big NASCAR fan. Can't say I've ever watched a full race. I had the die-cast toys and built a couple of model kits when I was a kid. I know more big names from than 90's than I do of current racers. Why do I watch your channel? The answernis simple - We are both car people. We both appreciate the history or motorsports. I'm a big NHRA fan. The history crosses over in a lot of ways, the HEMI is an example. I'm a huge Mopar fan as well. The competitive nature, the engineering, pushing the envelope, that is what gets our hearts, racing. Love your channel. You incorporate past and present very well. The interviews, shop tours...those are priceless. These things, people, the stories, they won't be around forever. Surely not first hand accounts. Thank you for sharing it with us. Time stamp - 1987.

Cool to see the "Lesser discussed" part of the Petty legacy featured. I've knew Ritchie Petty drove, but I think that this is the first time that I have ever seen him.

[@bigoulie]

I became a Petty fan when I was 10 years old in 1975. He won the Daytona 500 that year and as a kid, that car looked soo fast in that day glow red and Petty blue. It's a great service to the long time Petty fans, that you and the Petty brothers provide in these behind the scenes documentaries. Thank you.

[@BryanStidham]

My Dad began working for Chrysler back in 1965. Many of those HEMI blocks the Petty's used; he would truck to the Chrysler Headquarters in Highland Park (MI). From there, Chrysler shipped them directly to Petty. Dad was told by the Chrysler Execs if he spoke about those blocks to anyone, he could look for another job! Back in those days, engine secrets were like ICBM launch codes today. Our family was excited when Dodge came back to NASCAR in 2001. As a kid in the 70's in Michigan, we all knew the name Richard Petty. To see a Petty Dodge back on the track was awesome! As far as the Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge racing history, you could write an encyclopedia about it. Love to see those videos!

[@sbcbuilder4279]

These videos are HISTORY IN THE MAKING. People have no idea how much work and effort went in to the up keep and preparation of what we seen on tv. Don't stop doing these-the entire Petty family are legends in their own right. I grew up around cars - I customized my dad's 1950 Studebaker tow truck when I was 11. In my early 20's I was part of a CASCAR team. We were just a bunch of friends who pooled our talents and resources so that we could go racing. We worked with what we had and you are showing that even today some of the top shops are still using "old technology". I loved the comment about the "fingernail gauges", you see that is the stories that needs to be told. This kind of history is really not in books, it is in the minds and hearts of the people who truly love what they do. Keep up the good work.

[@garyscurlock5373]

I went to my first NASCAR race at 10 years old with my father and uncle. Both big race fans. That was the 1965 Firecracker 400 I think. So I grew up a rabid race fan. NASCAR, NHRA, and Indycar. My grandfather was a carbuilder/mechanic for several of the Indy guys and introduced me to AJ Foyt and Mario Andretti when he took me to his garage in Gasoline Alley. My mind is still blown. He somehow got to let me drive his old Chevy Elcamino around the track. I was 13 at the time🙃. So the Pettys, Jr Johnson, and the Wood Brothers truly are THE Legends of NASCAR! Auto racing and technology have changed so much over the years. So it's really great to see how they did it back in the day. That dyno in particular was cool. Back then dynos were like rocket science to me and not many even knew what they were🙂

[@indycarmarc]

Racing was such a huge part of my life. Growing up in the 60s & 70s, a golden period of development in all forms of motorsports, I have witnessed or participated in tremendous changes. From Jack Brabham's Cooper leading the revolution at Indy when I was a little boy to this era of "Hybrid", I couldn't imagine a period of time that saw more innovation, invention or out of the box thinking. For 15 years professional motorsports paid my bills and gave me a family that survives today. I stumbled across your channel and I am so glad I did. Keep up the great work, teach the more youthful generations the history and give us older rail birds a cool trip trough the memories a lifetime created !!!

This has to be one of the BEST racing history channels on KZbin. The in depth tech background you deliver is amazing. Blending the tech, history and the people who put it all together is what really makes this unique. The wealth of knowledge that can be gleamed from these older racers, machinists and engine builders is priceless. Thanks for all you do! I was 18 in 1976 and it was nothing to buy a car sitting in the junkyard, grab some parts, throw it together and drive it out of there. Many muscle cars I sure wish I had today. Had a great time working on them, a little street racing and track now n then for fun. Thanks for reviving old memories and the videos you've put together of racing history and legendary drivers. The next generation will definitely benefit from them. Much appreciated 🙏

The R5 was designed specifically for nascar racing, it shares nothing with the prior 340/360 based stuff. I assume Ray Evernham was involved with its design as he was the main guy getting Dodge back into nascar back then. I doubt its much different than what GM, Ford or even Toyota uses.

I too love the sound of original boom tubes. I can tell you that 35 1970 big block 426's, 427 Chevys and 427 Fords coming through the gears at the tri-oval was a festival of sound.

My first word was Richard petty according to my dad. I was born in 86. I'm from Wisconsin and grew watching NASCAR with my dad. So I always enjoy this content. Keep it up and I love anything Petty.

I love the history you guys show. I'm an '83 model and grew up die hard Dale Earnhardt, so there's that. But my dad has worked at GM dealership parts departments for 38 years and I hold the memories of all the old GM dealership signs and advertising, a lot closer than most. I love the old stuff, way more than anything new. Please keep up the good work and pushing out this kind of content.

I love all these old historic locations you take us to! I came up on NASCAR from around 83 til the present. Started attending races around 1991, so thats my timestamp.

Another GREAT video! Thank you!!! My Auto Shop class had similar engine stands with a crank gearbox back in 1975. They are a wonderful thing. I never understood why a pro engine builder wouldn't have them, yet this is the first time I can remember seeing them in a video. I rebuilt my first engine-a Poly Headed 318 on one!

[@Stapleton42]

That’s awesome lol

@@Stapleton42 you may want to do a co-promotion to commemorate your visits to these shops. If the place you are visiting sells merch, have some of their merch on your website. I'd love to buy something that says it's from The Petty Bros., Ray Evernham, Stavola, Holman-Moody, etc. If they don't sell merch, offer to do a deal with them so they get a cut. I'd suggest putting the Stapleton 42 on the front and maybe a nostalgic (or whatever) logo or team name you are visiting on the back of a tee shirt. Do the opposite for a hat. Stapleton 42 could become _the brand_ for nostalgia items. People visiting your merch website might be drawn to watching a different video too if they see a cool item there. The places you're visiting would probably love to be able to get some new swag with their name on it. They could sell their brand through your portal by directing customers to your website. Does Joy of Seating have a tee shirt? Probably not, because it might not make monetary sense for a stand-alone item, but I bet Randy would love to send his customers to your website to get some merch with his name on it. I think it could work...but then again I don't do what you do. Food for thought, my friends.
