Exploring the Rarest Race Car Collection in the US! (Ray Evernham's Garage)

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

This is just insane. What was your favorite out of the collection?

[@salamov963]

Deffintetly the orange chevelle 👌🏿

[@sanyone1659]

[@williamhoitink3658]

I know a guy who has a real Shelby cobra and Shelby Daytona also builds replicas

[@josephwallace9915]

By the way a stockcar is the car and nascar is the sport.

[@dereknelson3089]

DC93 and the story behind it is by far my favorite car in his current collective, maybe even favorite car of all time.

[@palmermonsen9098]

Only 20 minutes? I could watch for an hour!

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Means a lot man!

[@ProphetsofProfit]

Exactly this was so damn fun to watch

[@CAMELOT331]

Awesome to see! I have been getting into vintage road racing where I race stock cars. It is quite the awesome community!

[@N-Collective]

God even the MOTORS he has on the shelfs i would KILL to have. So much is being lost to time with this holley/junkyard engine crazy. Im 19 and this is MY type of guy, id love to pick his brain one day. The engine knowledge it holds is unthinkable.

[@ilackedtheheart]

That's so awesome you got to meet Ray! He's the guy who helped Jeff impress Rick Hendrick. He was also the same guy Chad Knaus learned a lot from, which he used to help earn Jimmie Johnson 7 titles. Also gotta respect the hell out of someone who appreciates racing history enough and has the money to restore these classic racing cars to be as close to reproduction, like those who restore classic cars, who chase after original parts.

[@Mike_Squires]

Ray is a personal hero, growing up with his 9 and 19 cars on the track. As I've gotten older I've learned so much more about him and he just keeps getting cooler. Hopefully I can have a 1000th of the engineering in the stock car I just bought.

[@jakethetacoguy5536]

Ray is an amazing guy! He runs vintage indy cars at the indy 500 every year. Very humble and will talk to any fan or crew guy.

[@ronbailey3684]

Ray ran with us at Flemington Speedway, before becoming a national champion with NASCAR Cup Series. I was the last person to interview Ray in victory lane after him winning a race. Flemington in the #2, park owned, modified. Just wanted to say, Ray was always the greatest to deal with, media wise. Always pumped, very knowledgeable, a great guy. He even brought a nascar newbie to visit us in 1992, Jeff Gordon. Keep on truckin Ray!!

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

Ray is by far super cool! Met him a few times. He always made time to chat. Thanks for sharing

[@SkyyiLy]

I also love car history. I appreciate this video! Awesome work, David!

[@MrKillerToad]

I don't think some people understand how important Ray is to the world of motorsports. He has changed literally everything he has touched for the good by so much, the guy is a genius!

[@gabevalerio3736]

Was fortunate enough to meet Ray at the Sacramento Autorama in 2018. He brought the original 1958 Impala from American Graffiti to the show. one of the nicest guys I've ever met

[@evanwallace4510]

RE will always be one of my top favorite guys in NASCAR, what a great day this must have been getting to talk and hang out with him talking about cars

[@jbjlock26]

Fantastic video! The man is a legend and as down to earth as they come! I tune in whenever he shows up!

[@nothinghere7391]

How did you get in contact with Ray EVERNHAM?! It's a dream of mine to meet him once. Also. It's a Stockcar David, not a NASCAR haha

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Ray is THE MAN. He had never met me and showed me around because I told him how much I love auto history. He was so excited to describe each and every car.

[@WarrenSummerlin]

His shop is right there in concord nc and you can go in and take a tour. Or I should say when I went about 6 years ago you could do a tour.

[@WarrenSummerlin]

By chance did Ray tell you about the man that died in that shop??

[@jdmaxwell7021]

@@WarrenSummerlin I live like 20 minutes from there in mooresville it’s great being a car person here because there is so much history

[@HJZ75driver]

@Ron Ozburn That makes no sense

[@justinallman7049]

Love seeing Blast it All. That's my great Uncle's and my Uncle's shop in NC. They used to race Nascar as well. But love seeing the cars and something from my hometown as well. Met a good bit of racers in my life. Now my cousin is running the business for the most part at blast it all. They was the Hess brother's in NASCAR. Never won a race tho.

[@cole-trickle50]

Ray Evernham is an automotive treasure ! Awesome video

[@Ezisnotaman]

I love how Ray lights up, when he tells the history of each car. You can tell they all have meaning to him.

[@jakespeed63]

Was never really a NASCAR follower, more Sports Car and Drag Racing. But, watched all his "Americarna" TV shows and became a huge fan of all he does and did. Ray is truly a great American. And....he owns the American Graffiti '58 Impala!!! Nice shop and thanks for sharing and letting him tell stories, behind all these cool race cars. Would love to meet him someday. Seems very down to earth.

[@Casey_J96]

Ray Evernham what a legend! Crew chief, car owner, and now he and Tony Stewart are starting their own race series with legends from Indycar, Nascar, Trans Am and F1! Talk about hanging connections! Awesome look in his collection, would’ve loved to see his Indycars

[@ddearing]

I'm a HUGE NASCAR guy. For those who may not know, this man was the reason Jeff Gordon was Jeff Gordon. He was an absolute visionary when it came to aerodynamics in NASCAR, and is the catalyst to how cars look and teams work on them today. If you get a chance, look up the story of his infamous T-Rex car from 1997. Absolutely crazy. Ray Evernham is the man.

[@DavidVanmeterDutch]

This place falls into the, “I won’t tell anyone I won the lottery, but they’ll know!” Category of dreaming!! Just amazing!

[@morphman21]

Great to see a LIVING legend still alive and kicking. Ray is a cool guy

[@shinobitreecko8442]

This man is incredible. Ray will forever be one of the most recognizable names in racing history, up there with the Earnhardts, Pettys and the Andrettis.

[@CSDonohue11]

It’s amazing how pristine these rides always are. Beautiful.

[@dom_not_torretotedesco5707]

Met Ray a few years back at the auto geek show in palm beach FL. One of the Most layed back down to earth car guys you'll come across if your lucky enough. The man is a legend. Had his own show for a while too on velocity and motor trend on demand

[@CrewGuyPJ]

Met Ray at the 2019 Pocono vintage event, great guy! He was gracious enough to let me put a go pro in the #99 "White Tornado" Modified when Bodine drove it. Beautifully restored car...the best part was they left the dent in the a pillar from the Martinsville crash Geoff had with Richie Evans.

[@dereknelson3089]

Ray and his team lead by Kasey Kahne brought me into NASCAR and ultimately the world of racing in 2004. It's incredible seeing to of my favorite car people coming together.

[@etotherescue2010]

Same here I got in to the sport when Dodge came back in the sport. I'm surprised he didn't mention anything from that Era. Bill Elliott and Kasey Kahne. Those two guys won a ton of races for him.

[@toybox5576]

I've never seen the open wheeled racers like that. Awesome looking

[@marquez3881]

Super Cool Seeing Jeff Gordon's 24 Car. Favorite Nascar Driver As A Kid.

[@terrygarvin1980]

Love that tour, like other comentors I would have liked more content and probably like you more of his time. I am super excited for the new racing series with Tony Stewart, and I hope they have massive success. I was not Jeff Gordon's biggest fan but when Ray brought Dodge back into nascar he was my HERO!! Thanks for the show...

[@MxntiMedia]

such a wonderful video and Humble guy, please try to do more vids or interviews like this!

[@Stick0413]

Ray and Tony Stewart, and their car collections, they both are keepers of motorsports history. Truly amazing looking at what they have and the history behind it.

[@dirtdevil2394]

Ray was the one who got the most out of that rule book , he revolutionized the sport

[@richmcdowell]

I'm glad he's still wrenching. That Daytona should fetch a lot of money at auction also being it's Petty Blue. I hope his and Tony Stewart's new racing series takes off. IROC-based. I can't wait to watch. I've missed the IROC badly.

[@N-Collective]

Jesus christ this is insane. Videos like this are what keep the history ALIVE as sad as it is to say there will be a day this man can't take care of this collection and it will need to be taken care of by another loving soul.

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

It was INCREDIBLE to walk around this place.

[@N-Collective]

What could be hiding inside some sheet metal walls can sometimes blow your mind ;)

[@donaldmoser212]

Cool stuff! I have always loved Ray E. Such a racing geek (affectionately said). Not as colorful as Larry McReynolds but bleeds success and knowledge.

Grew up watching Teddy Christopher and Mike Stefanik at Thompson Speedway. So cool seeing the older modifieds in such great shape.

[@dhooter]

Nascar in the late 80's into the 90's was magical. Talladega,Daytona,Pocono and Dover were the tracks to hit. I was at the Pepsi 400 in the mid 90's ate a Cracker Barrel sitting in the middle of Earnhardt,Harry Gant,Bill Elliot and Mark Martin. Got all thier autographs. Nicest dudes in the world. Real deal southern gentleman. Especially Earnhardt and Awesome Bill from Dawsonville.

I was lucky enough to met Ray and see the 99 and 1 race in person at Stafford Speedway. They do Vintage Modified races there at the beginning and end of the season.

I remember seeing that Bauma Farms #19 Ford Probe Modified of his race at Wall Stadium. That's back when "Hollywood" Ray Evernham raced for Jim Bauma, against the likes of Tony Siscone, Gil Hearne, John Blewett Jr. and Jamie Tomaino. I need to get down to his shop one of these days!

[@generalemailaccount6891]

Those were the days! If it was Saturday night in the mid-late 70's, our butts were at Wall Stadium!

[@Forzafredo94]

That fact that you don’t call him Ray EVERNHAM! PUT SOME RESPECK ON HIS NAME! The man literally changed the way teams had to approach building stock cars because of him. He literally read between the lines better than anyone else. A LEGEND

Went to a race at Talladega in 1996 and we sat through a rain delay for around 3 or 4 hours. They finally got the race started and it was shortened by a few laps. Well, Earnhardt was in a massive wreck, I think he broke his collar bone and maybe foot or something. Anyway, on the way out, a Gordon fan was running his mouth to his Earnhardt buddy and they got into a fist fight right at the exit. Those days were great!!!
