I lived close to the track when I was young and can remember hearing the cars running races on Thursday nights. It made me want to be a race car driver. I have a couple of stories involving driver encounters. After I got my driver's license back in the late 1960's I would drive to the track, sit in the parking lot and watch the cars go by. Right before turn one was an infield gate you could see through as the cars flashed by. One day as I sat watching the cars go by there was the sound of tires screeching and smoke flying and I could tell the car involved had gone through the first turn guard rail and the fence. I sat there and all of a sudden the driver of the car came walking around the outside of the track on the dirt road that ran around the track. He was headed to the gate to reenter the track. I asked him if he was okay and he kind of smiled at me and said "sure, I'm okay". It was Dale Earnhardt. If I remember correctly the car was number 8. Another time me and a buddy was in his 1964 Chevelle and it was a Wednesday night prior to a 200 lap NASCAR race to be held on Thursday night. We heard a car running laps at the track and decided to investigate. We drove to the track and a short rain shower had wet the track prior to us arriving. We sat in the car at the viewing spot at the gate to see what was going on. As we sat there this very large guy came through the gate and to the car and politely asked us if we would be willing to drive out onto the track to help dry it out. We were teenagers so this was a big deal to us. We said of course we would. There were probably 10 or 12 cars including a guy in a Corvette out there making laps around the track. We probably ran something like 75 laps total and as the track dried out it turned into pretty much a race. The race car came out on the track and was racing along with us and of course running off from everyone. The guy in the Corvette actually spun out trying to keep up with the Dodge Charger race car, probably a 1968 or 1969 model. We slap wore the right front tire out on my buddy's car trying to keep up with him. After drying the track everyone parked in the infield and watched while the race car driver completed his practice session. After practice we were all invited to stick around for a few drinks with the crew and track personnel in a room under the bleachers. There was a bar setup with different types of adult beverages and everyone was having a good time. We were young and raised right so we didn't partake in the drinking but had a good time just hanging out with everyone. The driver was Tiny Lund.

I'm so glad I found this video! Jimmie Collins is my son. Sadly, he passed in 2020. I keep his spirit alive in my heart! It gives me chills to see the numbers he painted on the wall! Jimmie loved NASCAR with a passion! He had the best time of his life being involved with the Racer's Reunion. I'm so glad to know the plaque remains on the wall to honor all those racers and their numbers and the honorable mention of Jimmie. The work he did with his hands truly came from his big heart. Those days and deeds brought him so much joy and happiness! Did I mention the 00 belonged to my dad, Jimmie Fenn? He raced in the 50's in Alaska! One other memory is Jimmie met Dale Earnhardt, JR, got his autograph, then said "now I have something for you" and handed Junior a piece of asphalt from the Columbia Speedway! I surely hope he has it in a jar alongside his collection from other tracks! I love you and miss you very much Jimmie! See you in Heaven, my son...

The Chevy Dealership I work for sponsored the Racer's Reunions held there. A lot of work went into that first one in 2009. I worked the parking lot that morning and the crowd was overwhelming. The parking lot filled within an hour and it spilled into the surrounding businesses and Church. People were literally coming out of the woods. Week's prior, Little Bud Moore dropped off a Vintage 55 Chevy race car at our Dealership for us to get running for the show. He said it was one of his old race cars that had been stored in a museum in Ga. for years. We got it running and when we delivered it to the track I was able to take it around for a few laps (at a safe speed ). Later that evening I was able to have a beer with David Pearson while he and several other Legends from that era told racing stories on the tailgate of a pickup in the infield. Some great memories that I will cherish forever!

Great Video S1ap! One thing I notice in the vid was the reason many short tracks were dropped after 1971. The reason why they were dropped was because Winston took over official sponsorship of the series, and NASCAR dropped any race that was less that 250 Miles for 1972. At the time only Richmond, Nashville, Bristol, Martinsville and North Wilkesboro ran short track races that length, so they stayed on the schedule.

Id still consider this track to be dormant until a race is held on it. To have it being used as a fairgrounds during the off season is fine. But racing absolutely needs to take place here. It wouldn't take much to put up new barrier walls and get some fuel in there. Or even just have a few 20 lap races with regular cars. I think folks would really enjoy that.

Yes as Winston was going to over sponsor Cale in his number 11 car in late 1970 during the off season for the 1971 season, but he found out how much the company was going to spend so he sent the guy over to then president of NASCAR to help give money to NASCAR. NASCAR was starting to lose spectators/TV viewers when showing most of the race on TV to other car racing events mostly Indy Car and the sport needed some big sponsor to help bring NASCAR to being a more modern sport. If it were not for Winston sponsoring NASCAR in the 1970's it might be ARCA and NASCAR both being the vary top non open wheel Racing Circuits in USA today.

There were 2 tracks near me. One (Sanatoga speedway) was turned into a public park with much of the track still there and the history of that track is well known and still celebrated. The other (Pottstown speedway) met a sadder fate and worst yet few even remember it. Pottstown Speedway was a 1.4 mile track that was originally built as a horse racing track in the very early 1900s. By the 1920s they were racing cars there (when it was called Pottstown driving park). Races continued until the late 1930s. The outbreak of WWII ended all use of the track. By the early 50s the track was still there but was in disuse. In the mid 50s the track became doomed. A housing development was built next to the south side of the track and a company started using one of corners for storage, destroying that corner (turn 3). Then the death blow came with the Interstate Highway Act. The state decided to not expand the original State Route 100 and build a new State Route 100 and ran the highway right through the track the one side of the track (through turns 3 and 4). Now there is a Walmart on the rest of the track than wasn’t destroyed by the highway. Not one road in that shopping center even follows any part of the old track. Nowadays there is but only one piece of evidence that there used to be a race track there in the form of a children’s playground that is called Speedway Playground and a small plaque in the playground that mentions the former Speedway. But beyond all that, there is very little known or written about the track.

It was later torn down and the Stadium for Toronto FC lies to the north on the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) grounds and yes, the Toronto Honda Indy does run AROUND all of this history.

I really enjoy these videos, despite me being an F1 fan from Europe. That said, 2 suggestions: 1) It's very obvious that you haven't scripted the 'real life' videos as you do with your usual ones. Do it for the live videos as well so you have better consistency in your narration across videos :) 2) Get a proper mic for outdoors recording and don't lean on the cam's mic too much. It's sometimes hard to understand you over the wind noise. Doesn't have to be an expensive one, but as your narration is by *far* the most important (and best) part of your content, i think it would be worth it to invest in better sound recording equipment. Doesn't even have to be too expensive :)

Speaking of nearly forgotten race tracks in the South I just learned about High Point Motor Speedway. The track itself is gone and has been turned into a modern housing development but you can still see the banking for turns 3 and 4 on Google Maps. The track itself is north of High Point just off of Johnson St. The banking isn't obvious at first but if you switch to street view you can see the banking for turn 4 behind the houses on the south side of Hampton Park Dr. near Johnson St. The banking for turn 3 can be seen in the back yards of houses between Claybrooke Ct. and Park Springs Dr. near where they intersect with Hampton Park Dr. Some of the residents have turned the section of the banking in their back yards into multi-tiered gardens. The track has the dubious honor of being the host of the only known motorsports fatality in 1941 and the last fatality before America's entry into WWII. On May 11th 1941 Eldridge Tadlock was killed in qualifying when his right rear wheel came off in turn 3 and his car flipped. He was catapulted from his car and ended up being pinned underneath it. He was rushed to Burrus Memorial Hospital in High Point but ultimately succumbed to his injuries. The High Point History Museum has a virtual exhibit called "When Racing Was Racing" that has four photographs of the track including a picture of Eldridge Tadlock's wrecked car. You can see the exhibit here: spa2dmz.highpointnc.gov/MUSEUM/Exhibits/Racing/index.htm. High point has also posted a historical marker near the track's old location: www.highpointnc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/13737/High-Point-Speedway

Where the now Virginia Motorsports Park was built for drag racing in the early 90's where NHRA races at off and on thru the years was supposed to be the site of the new Richmond Raceway 45min south of the city. It fell through in the mid 80's and that's how the current 3/4 mile action track got built on top of the old Fairgrounds Raceway. I like the current track but I miss that old half mile track, the Cup cars would slide through the turns like bandits evading the police!

You should do a video about the career of terry Labonte. Such a overlooked amazing driver

I don’t watch nascar I’m not even interested in the sport to be honest but I love the historical aspect of your videos. Keep them coming.

Highpass filter at about 120Hz will kill a lot of the low end on that wind noise.

A video on the history of Nascars deadliest track would be interesting. Just a thought. :P

Ik it’s not a nascar track but there is an interesting turn of events for Desoto speedway down in Florida. A KZbin that goes by Cleetus McFarland actually bought it and is turning it in to the car guys holy grail. I think you should check it out or something.
