This is the way racing should be. None of Nascar’s “stage-racing playoff” BS. Hoping this is a regular deal @ N Wilkesboro

I applaud Dale Jr on revitalizing North Wilkesboro speedway and bringing back the fans. Way to go Dale Jr.

It gives me a thrill just to hear race engines again at North Wilkesboro, never thought it would happen

dale jr is a great ambassador for the sport and i appreciate what hes doing to preserve the history of it. a lot of people dont think he deserves to be in the hof, but he deserves to be in it just for preserving the history of the sport, im proud to be from the same state as him. the guy just loves racing and its infectious.

Great race. Love how Junior praises the younger drivers and the regular short-track drivers.

That 3 car looked awesome

You do better camera job than the networks, junior did good, thanks BB. 🏁🏁

NASCAR should pay attention and see that the mistake they made by abandoning their fans is going to spell their doom. This place was crowded with real stockcar racing fans who haven't forgotten nor forgiven how they were treated. There were more people at this Wilkesboro race than attended the 2020 Brickyard 400. Think about that NASCAR...think about that real hard.

Very cool footage. Jr was almost in tears after the race. I really hope this is the start of the Wilkes County Revival

This is Real Racing boys 🇺🇸🏁👍 Thanks Dale JR! Southern Boys.

This would have been the most American night ever. Fireworks, stock car racing, and beer. Wish I could’ve been there!

Sun Drop was a rare once a year treat for me visiting my grandparents in Alabama as a kid. So it's always had a special place to me

I'm so glad to see this famous racetrack active once again. It pained me to no end to go by there and see it just moldering away, considering it's rich history.

Watched this after listening to Jrs recap. He didn't mention coming out to wave at the crowd at the end. This guy is single handedly driving this tracks rebirth by making it worth it to the locals. So classy of him to acknowledge most everyone was there to see him run.

Good to see them racing 🏁 there remember watching race there on TV good to see Jr on there

I absolutely love seeing him in a car with a big 3 on the side!!!!

The sound is dope!

Sounded and looked great. Thanks BB

I watched NASCAR all through the 90's and into the mid 2000's religiously, but somewhere along the line the soul of the sport soured, and I haven't watched since Mark Martin retired. Honestly, take these cars, get Jr, Bobby Labonte, Tony Stewart, Morgan Shepard, Dale Jarrett, Ken Schrader, and all the other guys we loved, throw them in these cars, and take them to Bristol, Rockingham, any track at a Maximum a mile, and watch the tracks sell out. Tony Stewarts SRX setup has the right idea, but it's just not quite there, this right here is what would bring me back to watch again.

Awesome looking car and some tight racing.

So cool to see racing at North Wlkesboro again. I’ve seen a lot of great races here back in the day. I hope they can keep this going. Heck Dale Jr. needs to come out and have some fun with the boys!

I'm in awe this is so great! I live in the northwest and we got a good dozen short tracks here. I'm a huge late model fan and this type of racing is so exciting! It's hard to win every weekend! You just never know what's going to happen, and there's no stage racing, no playoffs, it's just a good 125 and 200 laps from green to checker just like the old days. the weight/hp ratio of these cars is perfect! they flipping fly! Nothing better than the smell of vp110 leaded! Kind of reminds me of peppermint 😂 🏁👈😎👍

Never thought i'd live to see the day this track would ever have racing on it ever again

Better racing then nascar cup

If Dale Sr was here today , you wouldn’t be able to knock the smile off his face. This is awesome. Hopefully it’s the start of something to bring back the original feel of stock car racing. 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️

Great job videoing. NBC callin soon. NEEEEEXT!!

Thanks for the race vlog !!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Australian and love this form of motorsport but lost to why there isn't more short track racing.?? . it's awesome!

Thanks. My friend was there said it was the best event in racing he’s been to in a long time.

GO JR. !!!!!!!!!! 👍🏎️🏁🏆😃🤓

I like that camera bro! Think I was sitting behind you! Great Vid!

Awesome Bologna Burger !!! Excellent video and good camera work following the action around the track. It was great to see racing at North Wilkesboro again and to see Dale Jr back in the race car. Looks like all the fans had a fun night. Thanks 😄👍🏁

Awesome, that #8 car was "gone" lmao :D

Thanks for posting this!

They need to get a Nascar Legends race together. The over the hill gang that have retired in the last 20 plus years. That would be a damn good show.

Loved it. Dale is such an ambassador. First class!!! ❤️ 🙏 ❤️

Reminds me of what NASCAR once was.

I love Dale he's my original favorite it's awesome to see him race again😍❣️

what a night!!

Sounds great whoever filmed it has a steady hand. LOL, are they all Chevys?

AWESOME RACE! Thank you SO MUCH for doing this, BB, for those of us who had no way to be there or watch it live.

Love me some Dale Jr.Like I did Sr.Jr.has some big shoes to fill,and he has done a fantastic job.

That was awesome! Thanks!

Y'all ever see that show abandoned on vice back in like 2016-17 the North Wilkesboro episode was one of my favs. Bet that kids crazy happy now.

really nice to be there ,in the middle of 1 and 2

Great Job Kyle. Junior Drove. Hell of a race. Jr Motorsports 1st and 3rd Great Night High Rock Vodka Car 10th in it's Race

Thank you, I’ve been following the N Wilksboro story for awhile now. Great to see them racing there again.

That gave me chills! So good to see cars on the track, packed grand stands, and a good race. I hope ARCA and the trucks make a visit there!

great camera work !! this was a view from just above my position off turn two, i thought i saw you (mr.burger)out at the sundrop can balloon , i should have stopped in to say hello but the hotdog line had delayed me a bit already was short on time.. glad you made it out.. i drove 679 miles round trip and got a speeding ticket trying to get back in time for work the parking lot was packed and was held a while after the race.. i ended up taking a nap while waiting to get out.. then got the ticket at sunup trying to make up for lost time.. humm as it turns out the court date is oct.6th leading into a three day weekend of dirt nationals.. soooo guess i will have to attend court and take a couple days vacation.. instead of the spur of the moment decision i made this time for the late model race .. but it was worth it!!!.. it was what reminded me of the late seventies shortrack event.. packed... friendly... and well recieved by all.....

Maaaan I wish NWS would make it into the Cup series. One of the best short tracks.

badass

Not very many drivers can say they could draw the attention Dale drew at that track

Great camera work. Gotta love the short track racing

It was cool seeing Jr. Racing again. Would love to see him in a world of outlaws car.

What an atmosphere 👏 👌 🙌....wish I could been there, sometimes life is a cruel beast!!!

I love it

Thank You for the video!! I have been to the track for a couple of cup races and the last time I went by the track I never believed there would be racing again. North Carolina Late Models did themselves proud with great racing!!!So happy to see those stands full!!

Dang good racing.....

Man that was awesome! Thanks for posting.

👍

Phenomenal

Some great racing going on there!

America's grass roots cathedral to speed breathes life once again and the roars can be heard for miles around, as the old ways show they are still around and what was once presumed dead....is still coughing up blood and the toil, sweat and tears of a thousand labours restarts a once forgotten pulse.

They should have NEVER left. Sometimes 'seemed like a good idea at the time' just isn't a good enough excuse. This track needs to come ALL the way back and be what it SHOULD have been: A great race at the heart of the sport.

Racing the way it should be!

Now this is a good time. For those who hate this kind of racing, have never experienced it.

Kinda of like the Mexican Pizza at Taco Bell . You take it away for a while people crave it and BAM it’s back only difference is it’s Wilkesboro baby . Raise Hell Praise Dale .

Thank you bro for the video

Good ol short track racing. I was too young when the track closed it doors in 96 thanks to TMS (I HATE this track). Glad to see it's back. Hope it keeps it's momentum and support growing. I'm putting this track on my bucket list for next year to visit hopefully. Even though I don't know who is what racing at grass roots series other than what title of video was, NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL GREAT RACING!!!!!!!!!!

Very good race

I believe he had many chances to lead this race more and ryn away with it but one he dont hv to race that hard anymore plus he just wants to hv fun 2 he wants these other guys to enjoy the win🤷‍♂️😁loved this btw

I'll add to the good job on the 📷 , not bad . I really think its cool as shit Jr pretty much doesn't want the spotlight. He just wants to enjoy life right now. He wants the regular all season long guys to be recognized and that says so much about who and what Dale Jr is all about. Good dude right there.

SLIDE JOB!!!!

Thnx BB !!

Awesome stuff! Glad they got the track up and running again.

More fans in the stands than nascar races! Good show all!

Dale should purchase NWS. I know how much he loves it.

Was it cool to meet you there last night. A great night of racing.

Only here for dale jr

Some day soon Nascar will be calling to make a pitch for their latest gimmick. I hope North Wilkesboro hangs up on them.

What would’ve made this even sweeter is if that #3 was wrapped in a wrangler paint job.

Some of the coolest sounding cars I’ve ever heard!!!! What engines are those?

Junior at the end of the race was why the fans love him so much. He may not have won, but he took a polish victory lap to thank the fans for coming out.

Jr for nascar president...

Is DaleJR making his Late model comeback part time at least. Damn those cars sound good

Damn , that was great 👍 good spot to film from absolutely great job .

Back to the racing roots..No playoffs..Love thisThat is what racing was and always should’ve stayed.Nascar changed for the worst..Sadly

Packed stands at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Take that NASCAR. North Wilkesboro Speedway is still one of your tracks NASCAR. You neglected it. NORTH WILKESBORO SPEEDWAY IS BACK BABY!!!!!!

It didn’t hurt that Carson Kvapil, former NASCAR driver Travis Kvapil’s son, and the current Jr Motorsports Late Model driver replacing Josh Berry, was driving Dale Jr’s, Jr Motorsports #8 car and won!

thanks Mr Burger

Looks like a good time at the racetrack that night!!

Nothing sexier then a late model !!! Wish they could get some of the retired drivers out there and have a race. That would be epic!

Man those late models are loud!!

Wow! You're pretty good with a camera... and that's no bologna.

Those are loud and fast cars. For late models. I use to go to Harold's Restaurant all the time which is down the road from that track if you turn left coming out of it. I got the foot longs.

Damn that’s better than nascar any day that’s Winston cup racing

I know Jr had the time of his life in that race ! Hope this can be a start of bigger things for this well deserving, and historical, track.

The last year they ran there I went to the spring race and Geoff Bodin spanked everybody on the Hoosier Tires.

You can see why jr is the most popular driver. He's humble. Not like these young punks.

I absolutely loved it! How well did your buddies fare in the race?
