    I love how none of this would have been possible without the internet. It's pretty incredible that the online NASCAR RUclips youth movement has become so big. As a teenager who stopped following NASCAR because no one had the same passion as I did, I am glad that I have found this growing little community on the internet which has lead me to start following NASCAR and auto racing in general again. Thank you Eric and thanks to all the other NASCAR content creators.

    Matt D is actually how I met my wife. They have been friends for about 15 years and we were there for the race and waited on him to come out after the race. He said that damage from Newman made the car plow super tight and he thought he would have been able to hold off Hamlin if it wasn’t for that

    Crazy finish. I wasn't at the race but even on TV it was full of emotions because I'm a Denny Hamlin fan so of course I wanted him to win, yet at the same time I so badly wanted DiBenedetto to win and make the chase. Most emotional I've ever been during/after a race. Also, part of me hated that Hamlin (who a lot of Nascar fans already dislike) had to be the one who played the bad guy. That he had to be the one to beat him instead of someone else. Because Hamlin did nothing wrong in winning the race, but I'm sure there was still a lot of people mad at him for it. Awesome video BTW

    Back when I first started going to Talladega they had Free Sample tents where they were giving away packs of cigarettes (Winston and Camel) and also Skoal and Copenhagen. Of course you had to show your I.D. and fill out a survey. I was a just a few years too young but my Dad always racked up before he finally quit smoking. He walked away with a carton of Winstons one year for participating in a contest or something one year. Times are a little different now. lol

    I really got into Nascar in 95. I grew up going to dirt tracks under the lights in the 70s and didnt think I would like asphalt until I happened to be going by Charlotte Motor speedway and the lights were on and I heard the cars out on the track. When I learned it was free to the public to watch practice I headed inside to check them out. Bill Elliot (or someone testing Bills car)was the first car out after I sat down. When he went by me on his second lap I was hooked. The live perspective is an experience unlike any other. The speed, the sounds, the smell of gas,exhaust, burnt rubber and barbcues.etc.Ive been to Charlotte, Bristol, North Wilkesboro and Rockingham. At that time (95 til the early 2000s) the crowds were massive. I remember being at the 600 in May of 99 and seen on a lighted billboard "Attendance 202,000"

    Y'all gotta come up to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. You would see a bunch of fans. That track serves for all of New England and a lot of people from Canada drive there. You would find a whole lot of fans

    Going to a race early is really cool.
