Eric: Adds splitter and spoiler Everyone: And I took that personally

[@stuffwithjonah1747]

Ya

[@User_of_randomness]

Yep.. that's me. Your probably wondering how i got here.

[@austinreed5805]

19:36 They actually put that mask in the Hall of Fame. XD

[@bobross4449]

A true nascar artifact

[@cars_oneboy]

Yes a very good thing

[@DabloSV5]

It the face or half face of nascar at the hall of fame

[@Oppi_1]

14:20 Lol I thought that was a Valvoline logo

[@marcelobsky1235]

Lol yes

[@nothinghere7391]

Fun fact. The 1957 Chevrolet was nick named "The Black Widow" as it dominated in the 1957 season and it was banned shortly there after. It used fuel injection (instead of a carburetor), which was revolutionary at the time and thanks to it the Black Widow was by far the fastest in the Strictly Stock Division that year. Fuel injection replaced carburetors only in 2012

[@TerriZandecki]

Oh Wow that is really awesome!!!

[@TerriZandecki]

I don't know that I really like it!!!!

[@nothinghere7391]

Actually. All of the cars driven by the 7 time champions represented their first and last championships

[@grayzilla4483]

We get it

[@tufstuff2586]

I noticed that

[@_A.MCarsTrainsTravel]

Wow You know your stuff

[@Poplar70bodiam]

Noice I didn’t see that 😃

[@dracoarton94]

12:37 Many years ago, my father took me to an old race shop in Mooresville. This car was being stored there, and in 2009 it had really seen better days. The lady that was running the shop saw 9 year old me standing near Davey's car and said "Don't touch it, that's the original dust." 😂

[@noahmielke2148]

Fun fact darrell waltrip’s dad worked at the Pepsi plant So who knows that mountain Dow sponsorship could of came from there

[@daverichards9141]

His father inlaw got him the Gatorade deal.

[@raymondkirkpatrick6282]

Mountain Dow🤣

[@aidenking2490]

400 nascar

[@noahmielke2148]

Dow just happens to be one of Austin Dillon’s sponsors.

i checked the Hall off my bucket list back in April and it was a ton of fun, especially since it was only like a 2 hour drive. i got the highest level package, which had an audio tour, a free meal and $10 off in the gift shop, as well as unlimited access to the iRacing sim. for about $50, it was definitely worth every penny and every second

[@g_men2121]

24:20 i was at the hall but couldn’t get a ticket. I wanted to see that car so bad

[@domanickmartin4830]

24:05 when you and the bois are in creative and you say "come look what I made."

[@_Dave_S]

Very cool! I really need to get there someday. I have been to the Petty museum, and that was an awesome experience.

[@cman17012003]

Hey Eric at 11:25 you mentioned trunk numbers. They were mandatory until 1973. That was also the year that cubic inch markings on the hood became optional.

[@hisemoney6966]

27:41 that’s a pretty good pit stop if I say myself

[@evannuh-koo-la4054]

15:25 Wait Rick Hendrick's name is Joseph 😅, Never knew that...

[@xmagik-j2079]

I've been lied too...

[@truexfan5641]

28:04 That Aric Almirola Simulator is the one I raced in when I went there in 2019. The simulators have changed a lot.

[@rjk81699]

Anyone else notice that the Confetti on Hamlin 500 win landed in a v shape in red and blue like the Valvoline

[@spicyboi2223]

I remember going on Field Trips here back in middle school. Hoping to go again soon to see all the new stuff

[@official_9101]

lucky that your school went there

[@johnrubino8937]

Thanks for the visit. I wish we could have stayed longer as well.

[@CMP_18]

I was there about 4 months ago and they still changed somethings! I love that they change it every now and then and make every visit different

[@CanuckIV]

Congratulations to Test Dummy2 for that dub! 🔥🔥

[@steyrproof]

Love that 24 car. Thanks for showin' this place . It is awesome !

[@TheClub94]

11:50 The scheme that drew me in to NASCAR!

[@HPayne62]

I went to the Hall in April of 2018 and they had Dale Jr's Homestead car there instead of Jimmie's but they've relocated it since.

[@crouchk85]

That Mtn Dew Darrel Waltrip car is one of my favorites. When I raced Bandoleros we painted my car just like it and even won the track championship that year.

[@austinhiggins4645]

Is it just me or did dale Jr just put his all time list for the glory road?

[@phillipwalden5546]

I mean, he was the curator. So it was his choice. I think he did a great representation of Champions.

[@GiftsbyChosen]

You're correct Austin. I work here, and he's the first ever driver to pick the selection of cars, and their orders. These are his/Sr favorite all time races and wins!!

[@austinreed5805]

Glory Road looks amazing. If I ever visit Charlotte, I’m going to this place.

[@AtlasProductions.]

It’s a great city

[@cringefootball2020]

Hey I visited Charlotte today

[@ryankranski]

I went to the Nascar Hall of Fame last October during the Charlotte roval weekend. They have the truck series anniversity on the bottom of Glory road.

[@plasticactionjockeys8555]

I want to go to the nascar hall of fame

[@adampatterson5475]

I love them white rims on Dale's blue car

[@rick6083]

Thanks for the tour !! For those of us that can’t afford to go lol

[@freddiekeith9534]

Thank you iv wanted to go visit the HOF but never made it but now I can say I know what it looks like. Thank you again race fan since the 70s.

[@garysquire5672]

REALLY COOL FUN TOUR. Thanks

[@reneemarzovilla6173]

I've never been there, I actually want to visit there one day, plus I like how the cars look

[@JoeJoe-uy6ck]

Thanks for the tour bud...really nice!

[@middlemanofficial1]

In 2014, the hauler (if it’s the same one) was an ex-Jimmie Johnson hauler. I asked how they put it in the museum. I was told they picked it up with a crane, then built the museum around it. 🤯

[@AshtonG2022]

I always and I mean always love & look forward to these videos/Vlogs.

[@StevenP727]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@ThaddMcNamara]

Thanks for the tour Eric! Hope to make it there one day!!!

It’s so great to see you back there!👍👍👍

[@Littlejohn48]

Love the Hall of Fame. Went there again with the family a few months ago. It never fails to amaze me.

[@mjzukaslugger7533]

That blue Petty car is also signed by Dale Inman on the passenger door in the cockpit

[@cliffordbrown13]

Great job Eric of showing us the Hall of Fame. Loved your play by play!

[@spicyboi522]

I went there 2 years ago with my automotive class, and my favorite part was the indoor racecar simulators, and the fast pitstop area...

[@kevinhazlett7303]

I definitely have to make a trip to the Nascar Hall Of Fame!

[@abbyrios7768]

Cool hope you enjoyed your experience there wish to there someday

[@briangriffinfamilyguyfan81]

Question: Was there any NASCAR diecasts at the NASCAR Hall Of Fame?

[@Caymand29]

In the old video there was idk about now

[@EricEstepp]

glory road also get progressively higher banked as you go back in time and you can go up onto the banking in one section where its as steep as the super speedways so you can feel the angle that the cars drive on in the turns. Pretty cool stuff

[@davidharris2178]

Very entertained thanks!

[@shorttrackthing6919]

Id love to go there

[@poss4757]

Awesome job on the tour

I went on the coke 600 weekend this year and had a whole weekend experience and got to see the first full capacity race since covid on Memorial Day weekend. It was an amazing weekend

[@5Fan5]

I went my first time shortly after you in 2019 and then went again in April, Martinsville weekend! I took my son too. He loved it

I remember going there years ago and when we were going to leave chocolate Myers came out of the room where NASCAR Radio goes on

2002 Stewart Championship car is probably my favorite car there. And Pearsons blue/gold ford

[@remuscampeanu2354]

Great videos Eric, keep em comin! As an SHR fan, this season has been miserable, but I enjoy your videos cause they keep me informed. Eric is a future broadcaster lol Take notice Fox/NBC

[@michaelvinson8520]

Just a small naming correction, in Charlotte they don’t refer to it as downtown, but rather uptown. I know, weird. I’ve lived just outside Charlotte since 2019 and have noticed some other NC cities go with that naming as well. Anywho, NASCAR HOF is definitely a great place to visit!

[@jamesculbertson1746]

12:43….Hoosier tires! Anyone else remember the tire wars?

I really can't wait to eventually be able to fly over and visit the HOF, looks absolutely incredible.

[@phillipwalden5546]

Eric, The cars actually used to go a lot further back. That second set of stairs was to show the embankment level for Daytona. The hauler that you walked through used to be Jimmie Johnson themed with his car on the lift.

[@richhenretty67]

I was there twice and I loved it

[@GiftsbyChosen]

Hi Eric..... Love the video😃😃 The location you were located in with the Decades of Champions is called Great Hall. You were standing on the compass that shows how far a few tracks are from the Hall. On the wall inside Hall of Honors is called Spirals.... Those are the classes from each decade as well. Inside NASCAR has changed as well. 4 of the Simulator cars have changed.👇 Aric Amorola was Keseloeski Matty D was Kyle's car Denny Hemlin was Truex And Kenseth was Harvick I can't remember who else was there😁😁 but Chase is the only car that hasn't changed!! This is an amazing video🤩🤩

The fact Dales last championship comes on my birth year makes me feel some kind of way. And I’m not sure what that feeling is

[@jadlynn4896]

When we went for the Bristol dirt race we stopped at Charlotte for the hall of fame we went to the hotel across the street from the hall of fame it was amazing

[@johnwarner9178]

The HOF was originally supposed to be located in Concord next to the racetrack On part of the hundreds of acres of they own Was told by a good source The politicans got involved and decided to move it downtown and jam it into a tight spot. No room to expand or park

[@MenardBrosVids]

A kurt busch championship car would be nice in display considering they got all the other championship cars
