Yeah, you wish it could be more like the roots of the sport, but having a spec race every year is something, at least. Nascars bear zero resemblance to the consumer versions of the same brand car, because nascars are pretty much silhouette cars (a silhouette car is where the outside chassis is the same appearance and shape as the real car, but underneath the chassis it's an entirely different car with no part in common) So a spec race is about the best we can hope for. It is all about who is the best driver. The cars and set ups are all identical. So it really is a proper driver's race. Which I think is the best way to attract drivers from other series than simply stock car racing, which was kind of the whole point of calling it the race of champions. It makes me wish it would come back, and it would become less of a nascar thing, and for them to make an even bigger push to attract F1 or Indycar or rally drivers etc. It'd just be fun as hell. If you promote it right it could be huge, it'd be the one time where the best drivers from every series get to compete against each other. I think you'd need to have F1 heavily involved though otherwise they probably wouldn't allow their drivers to race in it, and they'd probably cite insurance reasons or something, when really it's just that they want their cut of the money

Dyer Maker, the NASCAR Gen-7 cars are all the same today like the IROC cars were.

Rocket Man if you ain’t bumpin and shovin you ain’t racing city boy

Rocket Man dirtiest? I’d say that title belongs to Junior Johnson, As he cheated so much that he practically wrote half the rulebook, Earnhardt just never unlearned the bump and run from watching his father race on dirt, which by the way, the bump and run is a viable and legal move

Mark Martin had more wins and championship in the IROC series.

Dale only had one more championship than Little Al did.

@Rocket Man Exactly right!!!

highlight #3 and this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNWop9ebspjRpYk.html are definitely some of the best racing ever

He was fearless

Beautiful. Thats a man that knows how to use the draft. Expert

He knew they would drag each other down when they got side by side. Easy double side draft for the win!

It sucks they're werent in cup cars

I guess it is pretty off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?

@Andy Quincy meh I would suggest flixportal. you can find it thru google :) -johnathan

@Johnathan Edwin thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !!

@Andy Quincy you are welcome =)

He saw the wind

@@DixytheGoat9 During an IROC test, on a foggy Saturday morning, at Daytona, Dale Sr and Neil Bonnett, learned about airflow as an advantage. Dale Sr was a master at it. He refused to wear a full-face helmet because he needed to feel the air on his face.

EMPiiRE may I ask, what is the difference between the two? Other than the obvious such as the cars

Iroc was basically the equivalent of all-star games in other sports

IROC was classic

@@Musicrecords10 Exactly

Its a reference to spec racing geniuses, IROC cars were all identically prepared.

If only his Car was black

Never thought I'd hear gen 4 sounds from a Firebird

And no teams or crews just all drivers

That's was al uncer Jr not his son

No one had better car control than Big E! Phenomenal!

@@penskepc2374 i think he was talking about this clip at 11:00 which IS dale jr

@Rocket Man Bahahaha. Someone is mad cuz Dale was so good.

Like Darell Waltrip calling his own win? Yeah, i imagine there would be quite the enthusiasm

Also that was the meaning behind that he can see the wind

I have #3 on my Silverado and my Corvette, these young kids ask me, what’s the number 3 mean? 🤦‍♂️

alwaysopen mark martin

Shiiiit!

Racing24/7 me too !!!!

Me too. It was so fun to watch.

Racing24/7 me too the iroc series was so awesome back then NASCAR should bring it back

It is still around...look at Nascar today!

They need to take top 12 in points put them in iroc race whoever wins is champion

The best was the open face helmet and the way he leaned his head to left. It looked like he was taking a Sunday drive.

At the beginning there were F1 drivers not from America

Many drivers move here bit were born eleswhere

Agreed that wasn't Dale at all. Haters blamed him for everything!

I think Unser blocked right as Dale came down.

It certainly helped, I'm surprised more drivers didn't go to open face on the 2 restrictor plate race tracks. I really dug how Earnhardt leaned over to the left, it looked like he was taking a Sunday drive.

I loved Earnhardt he was why I watched and he by far the best of his era. However there were just as good of racers in the 60s and 70s and they competed against some of the best drivers in history. They all may not have had as many championships but that's not always what makes a great race car driver, IMHO. If Bobby Allison would have stuck with Jr. Johnson there's no telling how many championships he would have won. David Pearson was Petty's biggest thorn even petty said Pearson was one of the best he ever raced against. Again just my opinion.

Earnhardt Never competed in Arca

And Mark Martin

Stream Cheese Dale Jarrett won the 2001 Daytona Iroc.

oh mixed up the dales

Wrong Dale

Hope it wasnt mine you were red lining on a test drive.

International Race Of CHAMPIONS. Not saying Martin's not good, BUT when was he ever a CHAMPION???

Matthew Kowal Mark Martin was forgettable. He was always second best. Show us one highlight he had. Earnhardt is like Larry Bird...both made magic in the closing moments.

Earnhardt was the IROC winner.

Keith Lowe 5 time champ in iroc, most out of anybody

Funny If I remember right he led 3 total iroc laps in 99.... I was there for Talladega
