Couldn't happen. First, it would take a crew of at least 1,000 because each of today's drivers would have to have his or her own hair and makeup people. Second, each would have to memorize the script he or she was given so they could answer each question in a way that wouldn't make his or her sponsor upset. Even if the driver was retired his or her name would still be on merchandise, so.... Third, the boys today don't act like the men of yesterday, as Donnie Allison said "Today's drivers don't hang with each other...". Fourth, Mike Joy doesn't belong on the same planet with Ken Squire or Eli Gold so I can only imagine what a snooze fest that would be. Last, NASCAR has ruined its self with its rules, its all things to all people promotion flop, and its lack of understanding that they at least were a racing series that did promotion instead of a promotion firm that does a little racing.

give me the ledgends any day over the young drivers of today

Eric Cox Mike Joy and Ken Squire are the best.

mike Joy has bin around like Eli , some dont know Eli Gold also announced for Alabama Crimson Tide

I M A G I N E . . . . Lunches at Blue Ribbon...Gainesville, Georgia. 1990 / 91. With David Fox, youngest son of Raymond Fox...grew up playing with Dale Jarrett, Kyle Petty, SEEING Dale Earnhardt Jr...and sister, (as none allowed in pits) in infield, under age. Avoided Talladega, as "TOO HOT"...with free VIP passes at will call. Book out there called "Fox in the NASCAR (or STOCK CAR) Henhouse". Lugnut wars with Smokey Yunick's shop across a drainage ditch in Cocoa, Florida...at midnight, for SEASONS. Dad a mean drunk, contract R+D for Chrysler (DODGE), RACE HEMI and aero programs. "Gift" for Dave, when turned 16, of a Hemi Charger 66 or 67. Spun a main bearing first night out, dad took car back. Gutted it, got rebuild bearings and seal set from local NAPA. Added four more shocks, cage. Asked Buddy Baker to drive it in World 600. He'd run good before, but had never won one. In a STOCK CAR. Go see the museum. "The Legends of Stock Car Racing". R A C E C A R spelled backwards....

Can’t say how many times I have watched these and they never get old

@@tomthomson9354 Same here, every night i listen until I’m falling asleep.

The golden age of Nascar was the late 80's and 90's, best drivers and coolest cars!! Earnhardt was king!!

I noticed that…he was one of better story tellers there! It’s especially funny how he cracks on ole pearson about him being out of his prime and towards the end of his time😂

Smokey didnt cheat he just read between the lines like no one could like says 1/2 inch fuel line dint say how long so he would coil up 50ft under seat

Smokey was a genius

@@drivin379 yes he did 😂😂 even with the grey area. He cheated.

They didn't talk about Smokey that much at all. They're talking about their own stories. I wish they would have made more of these.

bIg dog3361 some still are good most are crybabies.. Harvick, Stewart, Earnhardt.. Elliott. Real racers... The Logonos, Kyle Busch..etc.. Tissues..

Grew up poor... grew up if you wanted f something you had to earn it... besides their background the biggest difference was culture. In modern times everyone is a narcissist. You think the world cares about what you have to say. I do and you do that's what we're doing here. The modern athlete no matter what sport has got a 24-7 platform in which he can express his narcissistic mouth 24/7. They grew up in a much quieter slower worlds that respected hard work. You can't undo the way they grew up you can't create Heroes... the fans these young guys appeal to also like twitcher they also like to see all the drama on the internet that's the culture they grew up in that's the culture they live. I did not and I do not like it🤷‍♂️

@@aricsnyder5882 the group of guys you named are the last generation that grew up in a low-tech world they are my generation. Most of the ones you named are from Generation X are born in the 70s. The ones you named afterwards they grew up in the Twitter world the social media world. Somebody like Tony was like get the f*** out of my face these kids love it they love the drama

@jerry s is there even footage of it? I may have seen it I watch all that old stuff a lot of that stuff in the Golden Age there's no footage wasn't on television... what does exist is horrible. Typically 8mmm film with somebody adding sound effects. Cheesy Tire screeching sounds and engine LOL... like in the early seventies when the wide world Sports is covering it. Sometimes the engines actually overwhelm the commentators LOL if you watch any sporting event late 50s or 60s there's no way they could have even if they wanted to just wasn't the camera technology

He may have declined attending.... as he is very deaf. Very.

dks13827 May be heresy to say it, but honestly Richard isn’t extremely good at story telling. Granted he’d be better than say Coo Coo Marlin or Richard Childress in this series. I’d like to have seen Dale Sr, Dale Inman, and Benny Parsons involved with this.

@@yojoeski Inman and Benny would have been amazing. Richard isn't bad at story telling. But I guess it just depends on who is listening.

1998

The food was good Ebert time I went there. It closed in the mid 2000s sometime. It was a very cool place to visit.
