Apologies for the unbalanced audio in some spots. I was trying out a new mic/camera setup and didn't realize how much ambient noise was being captured. Thanks for watching!

It's on my bucket list to get an RV and spend the week at Daytona with everyone for the 500

I picked up a goodie bag from the out of the groove tent. Definitely a nice little package. Definitely appreciate all that you do

Great video. And it was great to see you again in person, my friend.

Great video! Always nice to see whats happening at the track! Looks like things are trending in the right direction again!

Eric should do a start your engines intro for one of the races

to the person who signed “go Denny Hamlin” on Ross Chastain’s show car, you a goat for that

Man the Daytona 500 would be a dream for me to go see

Eric: "oh hes feelin it alright" idk why but i died at this

There needs to be more Disney parks type vloggers videos like this for all tracks. For fans who want to go to a particular track and have never gone can see and know what to expect. There might be such videos I just never seen them

Always enjoy your tours of the tracks!

seen u many times inside fanzone, ur taller then i pictured and inspired me to try to edit and post my videos i took there

It was great seeing ya again in Daytona! Sorry if I was a bit emotional at the end of the day when I saw you pass by the Media Center. 😔

you make me miss daytona so much i loved it!

Thanks for taking us inside!

Absolutely love that you included so much cindric. #2

Awesome!! Thanks Eric.

We was in the Fan Zone and Pits was looking for you Eric. It was a great Speedweek in my opinion. Love your videos.

Mate so stoked I found this! Massive NASCAR fan from Cape Town South Africa! You film exactly what I want to come see! Next year we are coming to do the door bumper clear fan experience and will definitely try to do a second race to come meet you! Thanks for the inside info!,

That was awesome, Eric!

Hey Eric. I was there for last year Daytona 500. It was so cool to see these car in action. I definitely want to go back for another Daytona 500

Thanks for sharing that Eric!!

Great video! NASCAR and the Speedway have gone a great job of giving fans their money's worth. Looks like fun!

Great video !! It looked like a great time was had by everyone.

Just seeing your pre race videos every year gets me hyped and excited to go to my first race of the season. Can’t wait to go to COTA for the 3rd year in a row!!!

That looks awesome, thanks for sharing

Kewl deal nicely done Eric!!!!!!!

GREAT JOB THANKS!!!!!!!!

Great video. Looked like fun.

Thanks for the video, definitely want to go one year.

Awesome 👍

Amazing stuff you showed and great vlog too!

Awesome🤘🏼🏁

Thanks Aric great vid

Damn that’s awesome 👏

Great video Eric!

Hey I’m in this video! I met you out in front of the Dale Sr Statue! Had to stand on the bench to get to your height lol. Thanks again for taking the time to take a photo!

It was great seeing you out there on Sunday when Chase was giving his interview!

Love your vids eric

One of the best visions of expression and very professional. For sure a higher standard than other similar presentations. Better than the professionals being an statement of excellence

Awesome !

It was awesome to finally meet you at the Tweet up just before you started filming all of this! We talked about the differences between Daytona Rising and the old grandstands!

Hey Eric ran into you at the fan experience after the Pastrana and Reddick interview. Was my first ever NASCAR race and it was really cool seeing one of the youtubers that got me back following and watching a few years ago. Sorry about stopping you so forcefully 🤣🤣 just didn't want to miss a chance to meet and talk to you for a second after seeing you walk right by lmao

Wait wait wait…. Eric your 6’7? Would not have thought that, but TV skus the view sometimes. Great Work!!!!

Very cool. That NASCAR experience area looks awesome! I hope they have it at MIS this year. 6’7” tall? What the….that’s the first time I have heard you say your height.

Ok I definitely want to go next year now, thx for videoing your experience

2:39 Bro 💀 “Oh my gosh it’s the clash at the Clash at the Colosseum”

This was awesome to watch. I’m in VA and this makes me want to buy a ticket to Richmond.

That place has changed a lot since I was there in 2004!

I was there in the fan zone!... I wish I knew you were there!

Eric you have to drive a car pr do a ride along. It would be so epic for this channel

It was cool meeting you there

It was nice meeting you at tweetup that day. I hope to see you again someday.

W race vlogs are back

I’m sure you did have an amazing time

That Fan Zone man in front of Stadium. You know Battier as a Rocket. I know him as 2001 National Champion Duke Blue Devil before his Pro career.

I was the one that took you the picture with at the Ally display, I was wearing the gray Kyle Busch shirt

Yessir I was at this race also

Can’t wait to go to my first race this year

Glad, that the Clydesdales was at the track.

Wish we couldve met, but hey theres always next year to find one of my heroes

Man Reddick and the Fries Hauler is brilliant. Him and Bubba need to tag team and serve up a Big Mac meal for at least an hour. Quick way to make fans, easy way to please those sponsors

I hope Daytona expands their grandstands into turn 1 and 4 to allow for more people to be there

This was my second Daytona 500. I suggest you go all four race days at least. You don’t have as many lines, you get to do tons more than you’d miss if you just went Sunday. Fanzone, SIK that’s down the road, the Motorsports Museum, Midway, the Bass pro shops across the street, actually in the grandstands, and who doesn’t like a pre race trip to Krispy Kreme. And on top of that races everyday.

8:24 yeah, that lady in blue, wow is right😂😂

That burger at 4:52 looked delicious

Shane Battier sighting lol so random but cool

Eric is living the dream, He gets to write off the Daytona 500 as a business expense for taxes.

Hey Eric you ever been to Michigan International Speedway before? I couldn’t find any videos about it. I only ask because I just bought tickets to my first ever Nascar race. Going to MIS august 6th for the cup race. I can’t wait!!! Been checking out some of these videos just to get an idea of what to expect. I’m in Ohio, it’s the only track remotely close to, and is still like 3 hours away lol. Pocono was second closest but atleast 5 hour drive

Great footage! What camera are you using here?

Being 6’6 I did the racing experience it was tight but I fit😂

I would make a beeline to get diecast and a T-Shirt at the merch haulers. I like the infield section of the track.

I've been involved with racing since I was thirteen years old after my Uncle took me to the Daytona 500. I was living in Florida at the time and began going to the Palm Beach Fairgrounds Speedway every weekend. Over time some of the drivers would let my hang out and I got to learn first hand what was happening behind the scenes. Conditions were really laid back during those times. Must have been due to my enthusiasm. I like many forms of racing, but always seemed to gravitate to stock cars. The actual point to this, is to say that my enthusiasm for the 500 last weekend diminished considerably as the race went on. Is this what we have now? Freight trains with some pit strategy thrown in and a wreck fest finish bringing us a totally unpredictable winner from out of the blue? And there are so many advertisements that you have to take notes to remember what was going on when they return to racing. Looking back at "race week," I'll have to say that my favorite was the Arca race. Second favorite Xfinity and third was, unfortunately the 500. Just want to say that I really enjoy your reports and analysis. Your true enthusiasm for the sport really shines!

i need to get here one year

You need an Out of the Groove merch trailer at races

I will be there next year and in 2023 I will make my way to the NASCAR championship race in Phoenix

I might know how the best wishes to Ross found their way on to his deck lid. 😂 Not me, but I know the story. 🤣

What the What? You're 6'7"??? Holy Crap! Good for you.

I’m excited for August I will be camping in the infield next to the lake but no tickets

Eric, honest opinion - race day traffic. How hard to get in/out of the track contending with 100,000+ fans. Do they manage the parking, traffic situation well? Met you down there last year during Speedweeks at Buckees. Haven't done the 500 yet, but have been considering it. Any tips/tricks, appreciated. Thank you!

It looks like you had garage passes bc I don’t think I could get that close to the pit wall with the fan zone pass.

I wanted to go too Daytona but tickets and hotels were ridiculous. I could get multiple season passes for my local dirt tracks. Along with a couple regular nascar races for the price I would pay to go too the 500.

Can you ask the FOX booth guys who in the heck is Austin Haley? 😂

6 ft 7! Serious? I had no idea

Ay bro I was there

JRM Merch at the Legacy MC Hauler? I say it first in here. Look at this video and things will make sense in a few years.

I went to the inaugural cup race in St. Louis and there can zone experience and such wasn’t that great and food lines where over an hour wait they where not ready or prepared

Need to make a 1/64 OOTG & Power Hour

The Daytona 500 was as disastrous as Balloonfest 1986 Especially Considering the amount of commercials during the broadcast and yet again KFB gets screwed out of winning the Daytona 500

Were the trams running while the race was going on so that you could go to the stands? Also, how do so many people have hard cards? I thought those were extremely hard to get?

2:17 why do I think this is cute

Question: can you walk a lap on the track?

2:40 McDonald's leaking Reddick's new scheme

7:45 CHASE BRISCOE

Better bring some good walking shoes and some patience

Hey Eric Estepp I’m looking for a favourite Ford driver to join Chase Elliot (my favourite Chevrolet driver) & Bubba Wallace (my favourite Toyota driver), any suggestions from you be appreciated? I’m a fan

I hope to see you in dover

Next year, NASCAR need to add more seats -- extra 3,000 seats... Add more fast food McDonald's Truck and more....

Your 6'7? I'm 6'8 and fit just fine (once I got in) for the driving experience at Charlotte

What other races will you be going to this season?
