The terry labonte radio thing is hilarious because at my 1st Nascar weekend I got to use my dad's scanner during practice and tuned into Terry because he was my mom's favorite driver. The first thing I heard was "what did you do to these fucking tires." So the Iceman would occasionally melt on the radio if he was pissed enough. 😂

GM didn't request the black scheme, they actually wanted a blue car. Childress and Earnhardt wanted a black car but GM wasn't having it, so to prove their point, they took a test car out to Daytona with GM representatives, painted it half black and half blue, and the black looked WAY better on track, so they went with that instead.

Hershel McGriff made his debut in the 1950 Southern 500 and also raced in a K&N Pro Series West race in 2018 at age 90. This also means he has raced in NASCAR with both Red Byron (the first ever champion who never raced after 1951) and Hailie Deegan.

@@BrettMKW I’m familiar with him. It takes a lot of passion for people like him, Red, and the late James Hylton for pushing themselves to race for so long. You’d know they probably wouldn’t win at those ages, but you’d know for certain they would have the time of their lives behind the wheel.
@BrettMKW
@BrettMKW 2 жыл бұрын
@@Nitro55555 Oh they definitely couldn't win at the NASCAR level anymore. Last I heard Red was still winning races at the local short track level which to me is impressive enough. James Hylton passing away in an accident is a real tragedy for him to go out like he did after all that time racing. In 2013 he ran his last ARCA race and had a car capable of winning but finished 18th, so he definitely didn't have it in him to win anymore at NASCAR. But yeah, I definitely respect the guys who clearly race just for the love of it. I was just using McGriff as an example, he actually has the record for oldest guy to start a NASCAR sanctioned race and I'd bet there isn't anyone with a longer career than 68 years.

I think that was another huge part of the man's appeal -- he was not pretentious. He was a regular bloke who just happened to be really really good at stock-car racing!

Totally agree with this list! But shouldn’t Jaws been mentioned… also, the only driver who wasn’t intimidated by Dale Sr. was Jeff Gordon. I think he knew not to overthink it and Jeff knew his car well enough to let Dale pass if he had the faster car.

I've said it before on another vid... this is some of the best content on KZfaq bar none. More entertaining, educational, nostalgia inducing and just reminds many of us why we have loved NASCAR for so long (with exception of how it has become and not as interesting or entertaining as it was.. IMHO) .. so with all that said, well done S1ap... again, your content is better than 90% of the trash MSM puts out. Best wishes for 2022 and keep up the great work.

Nadeau, Fireball Roberts, and some of the less congratulatory nicknames like John Wrecks Weekly should have featured. NASCAR is a little unique in that some of the best nicknames are not reserved for some of the worst drivers (in F1, Christian Danner was "Christmas Dinner", Eliseo Salazar was "Greasy Ol' Salad Bar", Ian Ashley was "Ian Crashley"... etcetera), but there's certainly a few of those to go around.
