And here (points to fence at 170 mph) is where I got really close with the crowd while driving a truck!. Geoff has always been one of my favorite drivers!
It really is seeing him be the main part of arguably the worst NASCAR wreck of all time. Idk if it's his wreck or the 37-car pileup being the worst crash.
@@waden404 I was in the GMAC/Pontiac suite in the Winston Tower and had a full field of view of the carnage. Thought Geoff was gone; damned glad he was OK.
Dale was my favorite but I always loved Geoff as well, he was pure hell in the day of the Hoosier Tires. Great racer, super cool guy God bless him and his family
Awesome, never let out of it, that is fun. I remember when I won a Napa driving challenge and got to go to Charlotte and drive. It was awesome. Much respect for the driver's.
@@B25gunship -- Spencer and Lancaster were my favorite tracks. I wrote for Gater Racing News as a teenager, met Maynard, Richie, Geoff...what a thrill.
Yes !! He , Hoosier, and Exide batteries were so dangerous with Paul Williams , lapped whole field like couple of times at North Wilksboro track in 93 or better yet 94
I got to do that a few years ago. You really don't realize how fast you are going until you are no longer going straight. The corners almost made me pass out. Now imagine doing that 25-30 mph faster, with 40 more cars out there.
@@mrj3217 it’s not a NASCAR , that’s a sanctioning body. This is a racecar , how would I know? I’ve driven one at Daytona to 167 mph. The era this car ran and the circumstances it’s being recorded under lead an educated and experienced racing fan/enthusiast to believe just that, unless you have information to the contrary.
Damm, now that's how you suppose to drive a real NASCAR race car. Just love how that motor sound while the fence posts goes by in a blink, hell yeah. 👍👍
Actually she was telling him the entire time to “stop, quit it, cut it off, no stop” you could see her hands. That would be so annoying for someone to agree to ride just to do that the entire time.
They need to show some restarts like this.. to get a really good sensation of speed.. that was awesome.. I'd just about kill to sit in that passenger seat.... for about 20 laps in a real competition race
I love it. This is what this man did for so many years and he gets the chance to take his wife to work with him. She what's him to slow down but she is riding with one of the greatest drivers of all time. I'm a firefighter and would love to be able to take my wife in a house fire to show her what drives me to do what I love. So dam cool.
I saw Geoff Bodine lap the entire field including Dale Earnhardt at N. Wilkesboro with Hoosier tires in 1994 and the week after he was killing it again at Charlotte before blowing the motor coming out of his final pit stop.
Nice in cockpit footage. I’ve done my share of laps at Daytona, but only on 2 wheels. I wouldn’t mind having a test drive of this car. Sorry to say, I have never been to or watched a NASCAR race. One of these days….
That’s a “experience” car, it’s got a 6000 rpm limit chip on in the Msd ignition (red box) on the right side. Notice the zip tie around the little white chip to keep you from removing it. This car probably has an out of the box crate engine in it due to novices driving it for the “experience”. 6000 is nothing for a race engine those turn 7800 with restrictor plates, 9500 without for 500 miles.
Well he sure made that look easy. Someone had the car setup quite well for him. They must have ran some laps and made adjustments before he climbed in it. He still has it even after his bad experience there.
This is so great. Looks like Bodine could still wheel a car well. Wonder why they only go 170...sure the racing experience throttles the cars back a bit for safety. Man I wanna be in one and always have since 1990.
I don't know much about nascar being an aussie but i really dig that the driver still 'drives' the car and from what i've seen they're a real hand full. Kudos to the passenger, it takes some guts to get in one.
I think she needs to work on the hand jive/happy hands at a more appropriate time. Looks like fun. No disrespect to Mrs. Bodine just a fun observation.
Speedway not raceway but this is hilarious with her reaction 😂. He’s only going 2/3rds throttle with A rev limiter kicking in . You know he wanted to open that sucker up wide open
The roar, the speed, it's like a friggin' drug.
Let us not forget that this is the track where this man almost died. Getting back in a race car here after that incident takes balls in my opinion.
I agree, and I bet he carries his balls in a wheelbarrow, having seen how bad that wreck was.
It’s in their blood. They have no fear.
Dale Sr. died on that track
I would ride with him Anytime! Even a short Track He is a fan friendly legend And Deserves respect! FFS!
Love it when she's trying to tell him to slow down and he just gives her the 👍 hahaha
Love the sound of that motor coming up through the gears
The good old days when Geoff Bodine and Jimmy Spencer were wreaking havoc everywhere .
And here (points to fence at 170 mph) is where I got really close with the crowd while driving a truck!. Geoff has always been one of my favorite drivers!
Some of the best audio quality captured from in car camera ever! I need an 8 hour loop of this to sleep to. 😁
Lol gotta laugh a lil at him missing 2nd
That’s awesome to see Geoff on the track that nearly took his life in the truck series!

Was there for it. Was up near the top of stands, but he hit directly in front of us. Could feel the heat from the fireball.

I was just watching Geoff's 1986 Daytona victory and it brought me here, this is awesome to see 👍
Reminds me of “The Great Outdoors” water skiing scene with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd. “You Bastard!!!” “Go faster?!? Ok!!!”
❤
Awesome, never let out of it, that is fun. I remember when I won a Napa driving challenge and got to go to Charlotte and drive. It was awesome. Much respect for the driver's.
Use to watch him on Friday s at Spencer Speedway driving his modified. Love him still. Him and Dale gave us some great races
Someone that knows Spencer.....awesome!!
Me to. Great races against Maynard, Ritchie and the rest of the Spencer gang. Sadly I missed racing there from 67-70 while in the Navy.

This is 155-160 , imagine 190-200... in a '79 Pontiac Lemans 😬
Or 215 in a 87 T bird?🏁😃
@@andyhamilton8940 Million Dollar Bill!
Yep , Maybe 170, cause you could easily see 5,800 on the tach. l wonder what the gear was maybe like a 315--320 ? !!
She's like no more, he's like 1 more? Lol
Geoff is a great driver nothing to worry about
Haha! He didn’t hold back ...that’s Awesome Geoff!
When Geoff came South to drive Late Models for the Greek he lived in a trailer behind the shop.Was about seven miles from my house
just a little sunday afternoon cruise for him
Respect geoff...hellava ride. Thats how you get up to speed!
That was tremendous and I couldn't stop laughing at Lori..
I wasnt old enough to enjoy Geoff driving his modified BUT i have plenty of memories of that #12 and brett tearing it up. Legendary racing family.
You were in good hands
INCREDIBLE, sounds unrestricted. She was tripping before he got outta third!
It's hittin the rev limiter
Definitely restricted
@@snelgrove22 negative, this car is a pre restrictor plate car used for exhibition.
How the hell would you know if the NASCAR was Unrestricted.
These cars only hit 150 , not worth the 3k to 5k for a few laps .

the old man has still got it
Its like riding a bike you never forget where your pedals are !
That’s a cool video glad to see him doing good.
Great ride!🤠
Awesome Geoff!
He loves his woman ya can tell, trying to hold hands at 180 is true love. Atta boy Mr. Bodine!
Nice to see GB behind the wheel again......
He kept it at about 80%, still awesomeness
Damm, now that's how you suppose to drive a real NASCAR race car. Just love how that motor sound while the fence posts goes by in a blink, hell yeah. 👍👍
she’s a good sport for going along for the ride.
Actually she was telling him the entire time to “stop, quit it, cut it off, no stop” you could see her hands. That would be so annoying for someone to agree to ride just to do that the entire time.
LIKE THE RIDE WITH EX HUSBAND MIKE AT NYS TRACKS # 88 MODIFIED WHITE ( STAGECOACH)

Mom and pop out for a Sunday drive.
Correction my mistake...all the glory goes to Lori Bodine :P
I'd love to take a trip around Daytona or even tallidaga in a stock car
I laughed my ass off!!!!! Ask Cousin Geoff when he is gonna take me for a ride or let me take him for one?????
Geoff Bodine was my first choice to win at the start of every race ! He was that good !
I love it. This is what this man did for so many years and he gets the chance to take his wife to work with him.

haha I laughed till I got tears that lady is awesome
No matter what you think of Geoff, he wasn't intimidated by Dale Earnhardt.
after his adventures with ritchie evans nothing could scare this man!
I think a lot of drivers weren’t intimidated by dale not sure why they called him that
I saw Geoff Bodine lap the entire field including Dale Earnhardt at N. Wilkesboro with Hoosier tires in 1994 and the week after he was killing it again at Charlotte before blowing the motor coming out of his final pit stop.
@@coyboybcif you don't know why Dale Earnhardt is called the Intimidator what are you even doing and why are you even commenting on the subject🤦🏿♂️
this was in 2020? i see the masks haha. Love my hometown area boys the Bodines!!!
Nice in cockpit footage. I’ve done my share of laps at Daytona, but only on 2 wheels. I wouldn’t mind having a test drive of this car. Sorry to say, I have never been to or watched a NASCAR race. One of these days….
...frapp'nAwesome!!!
Haha, look at his wife waving him off to slow down😂😂
Holy cow. Its like war inside that thing.
Like an Old Pro.
“I wanna go fast”…..Ricky Bobby…..and me if I ever get a chance.
At first it looked like she needed a steering wheel to hang on to lol !!
I’m surprised that engine holds up at high RPM like that for soooo long.
thats only 2 laps, they usually run them like that for 500 miles

Imagine what it's like in a pack with 30 other cars inches apart at speeds upwards of 200+.
Organized Chaos...lol
I’ve got 0:58 on lap 2. That sound right, Geoff? A fairly leisurely pace around the tri-oval haha.
Always my favorite driver,dad use to get mad at him and his richie fans,👍🙏forever!
Flat out👌👌👌
To bad she didn't enjoy it becouse it looked awesome!
What a rush let me in their
Never liked him
But will tip my hat
To 86 Daytona 500
Win

Well he sure made that look easy. Someone had the car setup quite well for him. They must have ran some laps and made adjustments before he climbed in it. He still has it even after his bad experience there.
That is Butch Jelley's daughter.. he was a hell of a good dirt track driver!

It's pretty inexpensive to take a ride. They offer them all over.
That shifter is such a long throw.
WOW!!!!
Love how Geoff missed a shift
That bank don't look high but that shit is real high
Even the video car had a Rev limiter on it . They will not allow you to go over 160.
I can never see anyone go through Turn 4 at Daytona and not think about Dale Sr.
Hey Kathleen, tell Geoff I said "Hello"
Boone your still the man Mark and Vicki Gordon Albion maine
I got a rush just watching
Should have given her a burnout spin after you won the race. Great video.

FOR 500 MILES!
@@rickdee67 right,insanity
@@dnmoscato92 The amount of dolts who believe they drive in circles! Lolz

Would be so much better with 20 other cars driving in a 3 wide pack in a super tight formation.
I don't know much about nascar being an aussie but i really dig that the driver still 'drives' the car and from what i've seen they're a real hand full. Kudos to the passenger, it takes some guts to get in one.
Or 220! How out there hated the 500 just ended? I didn't think you could win on yellow!
Now imagine doing this for 3 and 1/2--4 hours with 40 of your closest friends.
Sign me up.
That was only about6000 rpm. Imagine 8700!!
My breathing increased watching the video , no shit.
LOL, her hand signals were all over the place.
😆😆😆 the cars are no push over
I think she needs to work on the hand jive/happy hands at a more appropriate time. Looks like fun. No disrespect to Mrs. Bodine just a fun observation.
I think he had another gear and more pedal
Well that is sad TOTAL REV LIMIT with tons left in it
I want your personal check in that amount.
