That gold Miller High Life Allison/Trickle Buick is absolutely killer looking. I think the Stavola Bros team history should be more well known than it is. What do you think?

Cool that the new owner was nice enough to allow this. He could have been a total tool and said no. He seems to have an appreciation for the piece of history that he owns.

Dude the easter eggs you find are timeless!! Every old Cup series shop should be falling over themselves to have you visiting them.

I worked at Stavola Bros. in '94. It was great to see Greg doing the tour, I can't think of anyone better. What a great walk down memory lane. Thank you guys!

Mitchell and Logan thanks again for letting me be a part of this awesome video. It brought back so many memories. It was almost hard to stay focused.😂. All the drivers we had there I became friends with. Keep up the great work guys. And your closing remarks were spot on!!

This kinda took me back hearing about Dick Trickle cause when I was a small boy he was my favorite driver at Slinger , great times hanging out with my uncle Dave at the short track

The stories these race shops hold are amazing. Thanks as always Stapleton

Stavola Brothers Racing Number 8 Buick From The 80s And Early 90s Awesome Race Shop ☺😎 Thanks For Uploading

Dude this type of content is pure Nascar Gold.

ITs important because, weather we like it or not. It is part of American history. Loved it.

It was so cool to hear Greg talk about Dick Trickle. I was kid in the 70s and Trickle was racing supper stocks , his mustang was bad ass.

Allison’s Miller High Life Car has always been one of the best looking NASCAR’s in my opinion. That paint scheme just looks so crisp.

Greg was cool as hell!!

Mickey and Billy were the best guys anyone could work for. I have been in those buildings many times and use to have all the keys to all those buildings and to all their shops in NJ. Did you know both Mickey and Billy were Ice Boat racers themselves.

Trickle story for you. I was a crew member on a SLM that we ran weekly at Slinger. I got to know Trickle well back then. There was like 5 minutes left in qualifying for the Slinger Nationals, 1992 I think. Trickle wasn’t there yet. We see his hauler pull in, cover off the car and the car is running. Jim Boomsach was driving and Vic Getzloff in the passenger seat, the other guys in the sleeper, Trickle in the car and it’s running and revving. Jim parks the truck, they jump out and set the ramps and unstrap the car. Dick literally rolled the car off the hauler with 3 minutes to spare, hits the track and sets fast time!

Great Video! I was friends with #8 Circuit City Hut Strickin car Transport driver Bart Creasman. I Havent spoke to him since 2004 he had some stories. We drank alot of beer in Daytona ! Dick Trickle was by far one of the coolist guys you could ever meet. I had a few beers with him too. LOL! Thanks so much bringing the history back to life. Keep the great videos coming!

These Nascar history tour type videos ate becoming my favorite. I like all kinds of racing but this nadcar history stuff is way interesting man. Thanks for the content.

Love the history. I Like the Trickle content. He had the 8 car sideways through an entire turn on one of the big tracks during a cup race. People just don't do that. In the interview he said "I wasn't getting passed, and wasn't catching anyone so I tried to pick up the pace. "

I enjoyed the Dick Trickle stories. In the early 90s we were camping in the infield at Pocono & after Saturday afternoon practice here comes Dick making his way from camper to camper. He sat down & had a beer with us & chatted a while & then went on his way. He was just one of us & gave us a lifelong memory.

Great to revisit these old shops. Glad you are documenting these before they get torn down or divided up and are no longer recognizable. Great work you two--keep up the good work!!!!

These videos could literally be about anything and I’d watch it. It’s the passion for the subject matter that the people you have on and y’all have that I enjoy.

I loved the part with the Dick Trickle memories. Watched him as a kid in Wisconsin before he went down south. Guys up here were way more than drivers, they had to build a lot of their own stuff, set it up, and win to pay bills. In his heyday he could race 5 nights a week and make more money than a cup driver. And the long winters left alot of time to build and learn everything about chassis setup and engines. He would even race snowmobiles too! A true legend.

Man I'm all for southern Racers and good old boy attitude, but you guys gotta admit we got some pretty hard-ass stubborn Racers that knew their s*** coming out of Wisconsin, the two mentioned in this video Dick Trickle who I remember racing local when I was a kid and Alan kulwicki. It would have been cool to see Allen's shop. Watching The Mark Martin video was great but it didn't show the brass tacks behind the scenes like this video here this is the best one you've done getting the walkthrough with one of the former employees that had Hands-On knowledge of everything that went on on that property. This episode here was more than me trying to catch a glimpse of a set of sexy legs by the way you're a lucky man LOL just saying, I couldn't wait to get a look around the next corner, that shop was phenomenal! good on you. thanks for the tour.

I can't get enough of Dick Trickle stories. Hope you find some more.

It's so much oral history that you are capturing that makes this important. The one off's like Morgan McClure in Abington, VA or Junior Johnson in Wilksboro NC that could be most interesting if any of it still exists.

Started in 1955 going to races at Daytona Slept in a great aunts chest of drawers drawer....Family life began for me in Davidson county. went to HS in Trinity NC. Whole family were nascar fans...I reckon that's why I became a mechanic...raced dirt drag Harleys....worked on the Ray Price Harley Davidson team. RIP Ray.

My family was a hydroplane racing team and I got raised around Motors and aerodynamics. Our race shop was the same way, gets added onto so many time you get lost if you don't know. Miss those days alot, thanks you 2. Keep on keeping on

November 5th, 2006, My Wife and I were walking around Texas Motor Speedway before the Cup race when we learned that Bobby Allison would be signing autographs. I totally freaked out because he was my boyhood NASCAR hero and got in line to see him. My wife disappeared for a few minutes (did not even care, I was in line for Bobby !!!!) when she returned with a man with a radio and said to follow him. They took me to the head of the line to meet Bobby and get his autograph !!!! Now I know how girls felt to see Elvis !!!!! I was almost cutting onions because one never expects to meet their heroes face to face. Absolutely unforgettable for me. He was so kind and I told him how, on Sundays, everyone came to our house for "potluck" dinner and to watch the races because we had a color TV. He chuckled at that. Great man, awesome times !!!!!! Long live the "Alabama Gang" !!!! 🙂

Seeing how happy Greg was is awesome. I got to meet him a few years back at a gas station. If I didn’t have to leave I’m pretty sure he woulda talked all day about racing

You can tell as the video goes on the gears kept turning and more came back to him from back then. It’s so cool watching these videos.

I pretty much have no use for what NASCAR is today...but the '80s was my era, and seeing the old shops and hearing the stories brings back a lot of memories, good and not-so-good (but mostly good).

These videos absolutely matter. You guys are shining a light on the history, people, buildings that are just disappearing. Kudos for doing what you do!

Watching his face as the memories came back was great. He would say something as he remembered and then walk over and there's evidence of what he's saying. Freakin awesome.

These old shops are so cool. Its so crazy to even think you could win the Daytona 500 hundred out of a place like this.The bad lighting and maze like small rooms not like todays corporate sponsored mega shops. Awesome series.

I loved to hear him reminiscing about Dick Trickle. I was fortunate to be around him and his team in the ASA and Artgo days when I was growing up. He was truly a legend and I miss him. As a suggestion, I would like to see a segment on Alan Kulwicki's first shop that he rented from Dennis Frings. Thank you for all of your videos!

I passed that place all the time. I worked for a driving school up the road. Hillenburg had that Bobby Allison Daytona car. I got to tear it apart when he was redoing it into the original Daytona colors.

It just brings a smile to your face seeing someone remembering such cool experiences in life. such cool guys keep up the bad ass content. This is the reason that such cool history will not be forgotten.

I was the electricians son Greg called out (Bob Quesenberry). I spent some time working there myself doing electrical. Raced a little with Greg at Concord too. Cool video.

Makes me wish I was a fly on the walls back then. Seemed like a better era for things in general. The nostalgia and atmosphere. Simpler times.

It was really nice that the owner let you go all over his shop. Not many would do that. I can just immagine how many old memories were there. A lot of great drivers drove for the Stavola Bros. Bobby Allison is quite the man. I hear that he's still doing well. Keep doing what you enjoy for as long as you can. Cheer up my friend, things have to get better.

The Stavola Brothers team was my favorite when I first started getting into NASCAR, one of my favorite memories was Bobby Hillin Jr in the Snickers Buick at the Pepsi 400 in 1990, he nearly won the race but spun on pit road from the lead. The team always seemed like they were just on the cusp of being a top tier team but just couldn't quite get there after Bobby Allison's crash.

Outstanding video. The stories of Trickle. I watch plenty of your other stuff, but going to these old race shops is great content.

This is so cool. I am a huge Dick trickle fan, in fact I race street stock and hobby stock here in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa and I run the number 99, and have replicated both his “white Knight “ and “ purple night” cars that he ran in the ASA days. In fact one night a few years ago I was racing in fountain city Wisconsin and a fellow came up and said he really liked my paint scheme and said he worked on Dick’s cars in the 70’s and 80’s. After the races we had a few beers and he told a few stories from back in the day. Thanks for the video.

There are two standout events with my father that will be with me forever. One was the first the first time he saw a B-17 fly in 34 years since his discharge from the Army Air Corp in 1945. The other was when we topped the hill to the spectator seating at Talladega, then became season ticket holders. I lost my dad in 2002.. Thank You for presenting a pathway to memories where details become lost over time and are remembered again shedding tears of joy.

I love this type of video. I worked in racing my whole life Racing shock company NASCAR show cars. Old race shops are really cool when you have someone that worked there go thru it tell it like it was. Great video.

One of the things Greg mentioned really perked my ears about the body panels being sent from the manufacturer and the race teams would trim/massage the panels for the car. Answered a question I had about these cars I've always wondered about. I am a big fan of 80s Monte Carlo's and I knew therace teams used a ton of stock parts on the racers but always wondered about the roof, fenders and qtr panels. Just a great era in NASCAR.

Thank you to the owner. I never met him but am a cousin of Trickle's and was hoping there'd be a story about him. I love the racing history, you are doing an excellent job with these. Keep it up.

I love your videos. I am from the UK but have been a huge NASCAR fan my whole life. My dad used to race TVR Tuscans here in the UK, which sound wise are about as close as you could come to a NASCAR, and videos like this remind me of the time we spent at the factory where the cars were worked on. It's bucket list for me to come over one day, catch a race live, and see as many of these places as possible.

Loved it Mitchell! Surprised there weren't commercials. His gears were turning and that's cool that you helped bring back part of his history as well. I need that smoker!

Thanks Mitchell and Logan just what I need with a couple of beers on a Saturday evening,I’m addicted to all this history I could sit for hours listening to all these stories absolutely love it!!! Keep up the excellent work can’t wait for the next one!! Keeps that history alive let’s not forget it 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Well I have been watching your channel for a long time and been a nascar fan since I was like 8 or 9 years old now I am 42 and it's great to see what you put up and the history of what the old nascar drives went though when they were racing until now and all of the equipment that they used until now what has changed through the years. I would like to see more of the content like this and keep up the great work you are doing

racing is alot like hunting...it really gets in your blood and is fun to travel and discover or make new stories that make you feel like you really are a part of something

Thank You Both for making these. This is the nascar I care about, the modern version doesn't like the old fans.

Thanks for another excellent video of an important NASCAR historical era, Mitchell. Bobby Allison was one of my childhood HEROES growing up (I grew up in Miami FL, and saw him race quite a bit in the early days of his professional career down there in Hialeah) and seeing the shop where his ‘88 Daytona winning car was fabricated & prepared for that incredible victory was AWE INSPIRING! The late 80’s Buicks were always “the weird cousin that took a lot of time to love,” but once Allison won in that body style, he made your “Granddad’s Buick” COOL! Great video tours. Keep ‘em coming! And YES, I watch them from beginning to end…

This is way to much to absorb watching one time I have to watch and hit pause and go back down memory lane and Watch the people you are talking to go back down memory lane.. My God!! Thank you.!! DAM AWESOME.!!

The person he is referring to at 31:39 is Ed Brasefield I believe. My parents met and became friends with Ed when they were shopping for an RV in 1980. Ed was working part time at the RV dealer and was employed full time at Trap Rock Industries which Billy & Mickey Stavola owned in New Jersey. Through the friendship with Ed my father eventually became a "weekend warrior" in '84 & '85. He mainly brought the tires into the pits and ran and got the gas cans refueld between pit stops. In January of '86 or '87 he was offered an opportunity to drive one of the haulers since he drove a truck for a living. I was too young to remember why and my father has since passed away many years ago but he ended up not taking the job and came back home to Jersey after about a month. I always wonder what could have been if he stayed and took the job. I remember Bobby Hillin having dinner in our motorhome after a race in Dover in either '84 or '85.

The history revisited videos are so neat because you forget a lot of things that went on or happened and it all comes back and more, the racing community is smaller than people think as there is so many people that know people at it all reconnects. Even when everybody is doing something different in racing it all connects as everybody follows in someway so you can hopefully put the puzzles together and get the stories out there and help put the history to the next generation.

Awesome video! Having Greg and the owner guiding the tour was great. Loved the Trickle stories! Keep up the good work!

It is funny that this video came out today because last week I just received three Ken Wilson crew chief collector cards from when Ken Wilson was crew chief for the Stavola Brothers. He was the one that resigned after the holes in the roll bar incident. I grew up with Kenny in one of the worst trailer parks in Greensboro North Carolina. He was Dale Inman's nephew I think. Keep up the awesome videos I love it

I worked for Stavola farms in Ocala, Florida, in the mid-80s I got to know the family. I was racing in Florida on both asphalt and dirt. That got my foot in the door. And I started tire testing with the #8 Snickers Car.....thanks for the memories

Love that history about old race shops. Keep it up!! The more the better👍

I love seeing videos like this, it's cool to see NASCAR and its building to when it peaked around 98-04. Getting to see the places that built champions and legends that will live on forever is super cool, history that would otherwise be forgotten. Keep doing what you're doing brother!

Thank you again!!! This is what I like to see history about nascar. I was born in 86 and saw nascar till 2000 so I don’t know anything about the pass and this helps alot wish I was born earlier to see this live

Thanks Joey for opening the doors it means the world to people you don't even know!

That was great! Stapleton , from Wisconsin,the Trickle stuff is awesome, I've met him several times at Slinger, Milwaukee, 9 years ago on the 16 the of may he took his life, people still can't get over it up here,I will be attending the Memorial in Rudolph Wi on May 22, thanks for the videos

I'm just hoping one day I see a notification that you got to tour Dale Jr's car graveyard. That will be probably one of your biggest videos to date if you can get that setup. Keep on digging! Your hitting vintage NASCAR gold right now.

This is the content KZfaq needs. This stuff is always fascinating to me. Cool of the present owners to let you in to see it.

I was a huge NASCAR fan in my early teens through early 20s. That was the time period most of the legends you are doing historical dives into were at their prime. Utterly love seeing all the historical and behind the scenes stuff that went on in that era.

This is just awesome NASCAR history.

Took me a couple days to finally get this watched but well worth it. It was really cool to see him back there. Also thank you for putting the effort forth to cover this stuff, truely appreciated.

Stavola Brothers are from my area in Jersey - their Construction/Paving company is still going strong. Think one of the brothers passed away awhile back. Love the old shop videos!

its cool to see how the shops still resonate in former employees minds you can see the looks on there face with memories being jogged from their past days working in the shops !!!

Love your videos keep them coming. Totally the era of nascar I remember and appreciate it!

Thanks for this tour video. I grew up going to, and still go to, my home track Wall Stadium here in New Jersey. The Stavola's were involved in racing here for as long as I can remember. When they decided to field a Winston Cup team, to us locals, that was the coolest thing ever. It was pretty big news around here at the time. It gave us a Jersey connection to a very southern sport. To see the shop where it all happened brought back that sense of local connection. To see how the operation grew addition by addition spoke to the history of the team. Thanks for that. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in future episodes. P. S. Tell Joey that we need some build plans for that smoker at the end there.

You're doing a service to the Nascar world,preserving history,and educating people with every video...love the positivity,and the content...keep doing you man...you got the life...enjoy..

The 80s and 90s were the best years for this sport to me. I haven't watched a race in years as it is just a showdow of what it use to be. Your channel is pure gold for bringing the glory days of racing back to my memory. Thank you for these videos. Love the goodwrench trailer im jealous but happy you have it

Omg that tour was awesome, to have an original employee to help decipher the past with the shop put it to a new level. You have put out some great videos but the old shop videos are so amazing. I've been a NASCAR fan since the mid 80s, specifically Mark Martin. You are part of the solution and the documentation of the old shops needs to happen before there is no more evidence of the past. Thank you for what you do and can't wait for the next shop tour.

Awesome video Mitchell I love that you and Logan are going back in time doing the old race shops that made the sport what it is today before it got so commercialized those guys built cars in two bay shops then added on and continued till another add on Greg was a wealth of knowledge and historian of that old shop. My first Daytona 500 Bobby 1st and Davey 2nd 1988 what a great memory. I became the biggest Davey Allison fan that day. Keep up the fantastic work love all your videos.

It’s really awesome that you guys are honoring the guys that set the pace for the young guns today.

Joey Britt was very gracious with his time, old school dude who understands the automotive racing history surrounding him. Props to him and Greg for guiding all of us on the tour.

I will forever watch these nascar history videos, alot of good stories have been told through all your videos so thank you for your time Mitchell and keep bringing us this content when you can

I'm hear to learn about all this its all new to me and I find it fascinating that these places exist and haven't been completely changed. Keep it up.

Greg is in his element, reliving his life/work experiences with us! Super Cool!

Mitchell...Logan...THANK you both, again for making my month. Please, please, keep taking us on these historical adventures, it literally gives me something to look forward to in a time that I don't have much to look forward to. You guys make me feel like a 43 year old 10 year old, as I've said before. No better feeling. Love you both. Thank you so much for what you're doing.

I enjoyed the video. I was cleaning out a storage shed and found a DW 88 Gatorade inflatable car from 1998 (has a NASCAR 50 anniversary logo), a Unocal 76 Gas Can inflatable and a Mark Martin Santa Figurine. If you want them, let me know!

Awesome content. I absolutely love being able to get a tour of these old race shops but really liked having a tour guide that worked there. I think it was Awesome to have Greg talk about working there and his stories. Keep it up guys, you are doing a great job a of helping preserve the history of Nascar.

Thanks for bringing this out for people to see. 10-15 year Nascar fan has no idea how teams operated back in the day. I visited this shop with my Raybestos rep friend when Jeff Burton drove and everyone at the shop was very friendly.

I completely understand what he is saying about back in the day you were asked to do anything and everything to get the cars to the track! When I started in Road Racing for Nissan we were expected to do whatever the boss needed you to do and I too learned so much in the 80’s & 90’s now you get parts from a supplier and bolt them on your part of the car. The days of each team building there own cars are basically gone unless you are in F1 or something like that and even then everyone is so specialized!

Continually impressed with your awesome documentation and exploration of these old places. This is history and it should be celebrated and treasured. I got goosebumps thinking about Bobby Allison’s Pocono car being up in the storage space. Sometimes I feel weird being so interested in nascar stories that happened before I was even born but I am glad to see there are people of my generation that still care about Nascar history. I love this stuff and am so thankful you do videos like this!! I would love to see the old DEI deer head shop explored someday. Bill and Elliott’s shop in Dawsonville and Junior Johnson’s old shop outside of Wilkesboro would also be cool to see.

Thanks for these tours of NASCAR history. Even though I cannot get into that racing today, I really like seeing the history back when I first started watching NASCAR. You guys are lucky that you can support yourselves with this channel. I am still doing the day job and trying to get videos out.

Really Cool... your so lucky to go vist these shops...... because these shops are who made & are the Golden Age of NASCAR !!!!! These shops were real people who chased their Dream of RACING ! Hip hip hip HURRAY to you

Love this 80s and 90s nascar stuff !! Please keep these old shop tours and home town tours coming from this era. To bad old iron head isn’t around for one of these , it would be a 10wk mini series. Great job guys !!! One day there will be an up and comer content maker and he will be telling your story .

Bless you and Logan for doing what you are doing. It is so refreshing to delve into these stories in depth again. Next month hopefully I'll enter my eighty first year on this wonderful place we all call home. For over seventy of those years I've been a racing fan from the mountains (Asheville) of North Carolina, originally. Banjo Matthews was my childhood hero and became the legend that he is as I cheered him on. I just finished the book "Awesome Bill From Dawsonville" and what a story. He too became my favorite driver, in that I too today live in Georgia. It is a wonderful book, all who have an interest, check it out in your local library. Take my word for it if you will, with the respect I already had for what that Elliott family did in order to race for our entertainment, the book gave me even a new found respect. Truly awesome. Keep up the great work team. Your content is soooooo refreshing. God Bless you both.

You guys are so awesome for doing these videos I also love older nascar stuff and I enjoy the hell out of you guys doing this!

We all know what happened on Sundays ,now we get to learn what happened Monday thru Saturday. Thank you

It makes me feel old knowing the names on the plaque & remembering them coming into their "prime". I am glad that you DO dig it up. Thanks.

Sure do love these pieces of NASCAR history, this video should be as interesting as the last several history videos! Know that I'm there with you & Logan as you investigate racing history, and I appreciate you as much as I know you appreciate me & all the rest of us! Thank you both for another cool video, and keep up the great content! Rock it!

Nothing like a good ol new video from Stapleton42 today I’m enjoying your content a lot considering that I’m a huge nascar fan that’s saying a lot consider that you do these nascar history videos and they are so good that I would keep coming back to these videos and watch them you my friend are my favorite KZfaq channel to watch.

"rotating circle of brainless entertainment"...I like that Lol so true. I'm so glad KZfaq recommended your channel to me some time ago because your videos and trips back in time are internet gold. No other sport has the kinda history that NASCAR and stock car racing in general has..the stories out there are incredible and THANK YOU for taking the time to uncover it. I will watch as many ads as I have to for the pleasure of these videos..please DONT STOP any time soon. You guys and your channel freaking rock.

theres something about these videos and its hard to explain.. despite the fact that i wasnt even born yet, this era of nascar was my favorite and i find these videos making me emotional. really awesome stuff what yal are doing here
