Crazy how we've gone from this to the literal All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro in under three years.
let's remember to thank for bringing the track to virtual life: dale.
Jr that is.
@@TheRacingGenius88 Well, Sr brought us Jr, so both right
Your right this is thinks to Jr and when they finally run the grounds in Nashville that will be if also
@@dustinp26 and he was the one who raced there so…
And now look because of jr they have real life racing again there really special someone can do that
Bowyer and Gordon fighting like an old married couple. CLASSIC!
And I'm sure we will see that in the booth next year
To think I watched all those nascar Iraces with my father and now it's a memory I can keep with me since he passed last April.
Dale Jr. and Jeff need to just buy this track. You heard Bowyer, he was having a ton of fun. And I bet the local fans would show up. They had 60k at the last race.
Well 2 yrs later look at what's going on lol
This was a great finale to a terrific series. The series regulars made a real effort to provide the fans with entertainment. They took it seriously, but never TOO seriously. Bravo to everyone involved.
I really agree. I have had so much fun with this series. This was something cool that Nascar did for the fans.
I think it was a good move to keep it. It was FUN.

I hope we can have more races @ North Wilkesboro e.e
Anyway, That’s all.
Thank you
Thx
The hero we don’t deserve
So that's where the Chastain vs Hamlin started? Cool.
Had so much fun watching this. I wish they would race here again and in real life. @savethespeedway
you could do a gofundme for the race track ?
@James Bond pretty sure they meant at Wilkesboro...not in general...
@James Bond its been closed since 1996...
Brian Rock Railfan Lol ur an idiot. NASCAR was the one that decided to do 174 mile and a half track races per year. Now people are tired of it and want old tracks back. NASCAR should spend the money themselves to correct their mistake. Isn't that how things work?
Nascar owns the speedway, it is sad, half the buildings are falling down now.
I've never seen Mike Joy so gleeful before
Dont you mean... JOYful
i had a smile on my face the whole race! it was good to see this track raced on again even it it was just a virtual one!
Thanks to again to Dale Jr and the the Crew that helped him to clean this up so Iracing could scan it
Also to Iracing for scanning and the detail work they put into bringing this track back to circa 1987 and running the last Pro invitational on it
Hey how come nobody mentioned that Dale Jr was running a Ralph Earnhardt throwback paint scheme?
Gonna say that it was because of network reasons.
@@TheRacingGenius88 no the concept to scan the facility was in the planning long before COVID and the networks impact on the season.....the networks took advantage to do a virtual race there for ratings and promote history of the sport.....
So this is where the Chastain/Hamlin fued started.
Denny gave Ross a bump-and-run with 10 to go; it didn't fully kick off until 2022
38:34 Hey Nascar, listen to Clint.
Shame to Bruton Smith.
Best moment of this broadcast for sure. Brutal honesty from Clint.
I would like for the iracing Pro invitational to become a regular program for the off season. Would love to see more retired drivers get involved along with many of the young drivers. Another thing that would be fun is if they could have the cars from the 70s, 80s, and 90s in the different races in the same season as the current cars, each race set with different period's cars. Would be interesting to see how the new drivers handle the older cars, and the older drivers like racing virtually. NASCAR could have simulator rigs setup for any of the drivers that would like to participate but don't have their own, or just to have all the competitors in an easily observed environment. I like the banter between Boyer and Gordon during the races they ran together.
I enjoyed this so much, it felt good man. I could not stop smiling during this on Saturday. I really hope this place gets a revival, the history is so awesome!
Thank you so much iRacing Nascar and all the drivers but especially Mike Larry and Fox for making it all so real great fun
What I loved most about the iRacing series was that the announcers treated it as though it was a normal day at the track. They took it seriously while also having fun with it. It wasn't treated as just a game.
As a Wilkes County native, I can honestly say that I haven't been this excited for our local culture since the hosts of Top Gear UK stopped by and drove around the track in the cars they chose while on their road trip to NYC in their Christmas special that year. My daddy said he skipped school once or twice to watch the time trials for the race at the track back in the 70s 😂
The North Wilkesboro Motor Speedway will be used for 2023 NASCAR All Star Race.
We, the residents of Wilkes Co would love to put us back on the map again. We want you back!! Love seeing Holly Farms billboard still testing the time. If we can get it reopened don't take Holly Farms down.
NC is throwing 18 million at N. Wilkesboro to bring it back, thought I'd never see the day.
Can't wait to get my tickets to the first race!
Yes finally a government that cares about history and preserving racing in America!
They're doing the same to Rockingham too
What an incredible race track.
Congratulations to the CHAMPION and the runner-up, TIMMY HILL and Garrett Smithley!
Jr. should lead the effort to actually bring this track back to Nascar. Nascar should also get rid of racing tracks twice a season & bring in tracks like pikes peak the oval not the road course, South Boston, Hickory, Nazareth, Mliwaukee Mile, Myrtle Beach, Gateway... Most are short tracks but short track racing is the funnest to watch in my opinion.
I've been doing a mini series on tracks NASCAR should add. I'm probably going to do North Wilkesboro next!
Nazareth doesn't exist anymore.
Pike's Peak is not even in the scope of the sport, and Nazareth is dead forever, given that the ground is now home to some warehouses.
@@retromario96 I wasn't aware, like I said I was watching the Busch series from 98-99 when Jr. won back to back championships & I really liked some of those tracks they were racing at.
I would love to see hickory
I've driven by and flown over this place a few times, so sad to see it rotting away. Probably one of the greatest ovals that was ever on the NASCAR schedule, and unfortunately I doubt it will ever be used again for stock car racing, though I'd love to eat those words. Glad that the guys at iRacing could preserve it so that it may live on forever.
15$ million was recently allocated to the track for revamping
i ate my words
Best race of the series! Thank you NASCAR and all the drivers for putting this together. Now I can't wait to get back to Darlington!
I loved it so much❤👍☺ Thanks everyone!
Always loved that old track and the Rock. Miss them both.
And to have Jeff ❤ racing there again (and in the other iraces too) made me very happy. He's still my driver forever. Altho I root for Truex now, it's forever and always JEFF❤☺👍 He and Clint keep me laughing and I dont really want the real world stuff next week..sorry guys but I haven't enjoyed NASCAR this much since Jeff retired❤👍☺ To have Bobby and Jr and the others back even virtually is SO great along with the current ones AND have old tracks back...this is MY NASCAR back as best as I can👍
Besides i don't have to worry abt Jeff or anyone getting hurt well unless he and Clint get into one of their tiffs lol.
I had no idea this was so realistic or that it would be so much fun. I dread the real ones again. Sorry but just truth.
Great to see DW and Ray too...it was the 90's all over for me again. Jeff, Ray and rainbow #24❤❤❤👍☺
Hate to lose my fave comedy duo of Jeff and Clint now too. You guys are awesome. So are you Larry, Mike, Mikey and Chris.
Thanks SO much for so much fun lately. For great memories and bringing back FUN and N. Wilks to us. Jeff and Jr...loosen up your wallets and bring her back for real and THEN do a REAL retro race with you two, the Labontes, the Waltrips and Pettys, Burtons, all the "old" guys ❤☺ you can get for charity .
You will pack the place for real.
❤❤❤❤ you all.
Thank you Dale and iRacing everybody involved in bringing this track back to life in virtual hopefully maybe one day we'll see actual racing on the track in some form
39:00 just look how that comment came to fruitation lol llove it
The NASCAR track of Legends. North Wikesboro Speedway was definitely one of the best tracks ever. Now IRacing needs to a scan of the Rock (North Carolina Speedway) for next year’s Pro Invatational.
The Rock is in the game and has been for ages. The track is actually still operational in real life and held a truck race in 2012. I think NASCAR could feasibly return there in the cup series sometime, but if the Pro Invitational becomes a thing i'd love to see them race at shorter tracks and historic tracks like North Wilkesboro and The Rock.
I love watching Ryan Preece on a track like this!
Would love to see him in a ford next year.
Looking back on this it makes me so happy to see this track back on the schedule.
I like Nascar, I got into Nascar because I was given a EA Sports Nascar 99 ps1 copy when I was a kid. After that I didn´t really liked watching the sport on tv but Ive had so much fun watching this! Commentators are fun as hell and its very unique to have two commentators participate in the race while commentating. I´ll surely watch the real thing when it comes back, and all thanks to sim racing. cool.
PD: Jeff and Clint are awesome!
The only time Mike Joy got excited. Hey, THERE THEY ARE!
that was pretty cool. Thanks for the race! Props to Dale Jr. for his part in getting the Old track in IRacing!!
Man, these were dark days. I watched this like it was the super bowl. We were so desperate.
And thus starts the rivalry of Ross and denny
Clint Bowyer is so much fun to listen to during these races. This is one of the funniest dudes since Kenny Wallace
I really enjoyed the series. Thanks for your great work NASCAR.
I share the sentiments of everyone.....
SAVE NORTH WILKESBORO!
Well they did it raced on the track this season for the all star race
Thank you Jr. and all that made it possible.
If nascar opened this track I know I would show up for sure. I know a lot of people who would come too
Me too. I was there for every race the last 15 years.
Ya better c'mon then. Ain't NASCAR but grassroots.
WOW! Just awesome! So fun to watch...miss this track big time!
Thank you Dale Jr. and all who helped open this track in 2022.
2023 All Star Race in North Wilkesboro.
This is awesome!! Wish I could have watched it when it aired but super cool to see. Had no idea iRacing existed.
I feel bad for Clint, he was doing so good
I have never watched an irace before until I heard about this Racetrack coming back to life this sure is bringing back good Nascar racing memories at this awesome place
Crazy two years later north wilkesboro is alive again!
I've really enjoyed watching this Iracing hope that they remember that they can't run through other cars on pit road lol just a thought been fun watching thanks
Lol laughed wen i saw thay
What about Larry Mac and Ray Everham both have their info all these years later! That's what I loved about NASCAR then was they lived it
1:57 wheeze 😂
The prayer by Cassi Mitchell Smith was amazing and the best prayer I heard during the 2020 NASCAR season.
Mike Joy mentioning Walter White’s RV was so unexpected😂
That was a great race fellas lotta fun to watch just because you go back racing doesn’t mean you get to stop I racing
Thanks for the video NASCAR. Brother. I’ve always liked that track and never thought the back bone of NASCAR would close. I guess it’s all about money. Thanks again sir.
Went there in the 90s Mark Martin won such a awesome place miss those short tracks
At 19:54 is that a Ford car with a Cummings sponsor ship can someone please explain I am newish to Nascar any answers appreciated
Good stuff from Timmy hill, with that sim set up especially 😅🍻🍻
I never got to see it, even though I live not far from it. It such a unique track, I really wish they would actually race there again.
I also would love to see NASCAR do a once a year retro race , where the drivers would drive older cars. Not a points race or full race but do something to bring fans back. Putting these drivers in older cars from the 80’s and 90’s would really test their skills as drivers.
👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
They do the newer cars for safety also the walls are different because of safetey after dale earnhardt
Any else get goosebumps at the beginning?
the beginning of something beautiful
Bobby in the old interstate car so cool!
shoutout to the broadcast not showing austin dillon did a wallride 2 years before chastain did it
I hope this becomes real life some time this decade.
well u're gettin' ur wish now
Dale has nascar on the tip of his finger, slowly but surely we will return to greatness
It’s like a mini Iowa 😭😭😭🍻, still looks pretty fun! can’t wait for us subscribers to try it out 🏁🏁🏁
IM ON MY WIFES RUclips but growing up my grand farther use to take me to time trials and getting to see that black number 3 rolling around the track was just the best i grew up here in Wilkes and wish so much that we could someday have nascar back again this is nascar at its beat
Even though this is not real, the racing was entertaining to watch. SMI should bring this track back! The fans would love it
14:35
Great to see Chase Rice singing the national anthem holding a beverage can and wearing a Dale Earnhardt shirt who finished second in the final race at North Wilkesboro on September 29, 1996.
Nascar and Fox is dumb if they don't find a way to keep the invitational going in some capacity.
Having a legend or Iroc series in the off season would be amazing
Gordon, Dale Jr, Martin, Rusty Wallace, Dale Jarrett etc... In a iracing Moni off season championship would be badass
Man this would be so great if this kept going to see all the other regulars that didn’t have experience in Iracing before be more competitive.
Awesome racetrack.
Yes
Almost kinda like they should run this track in the irl season again 😶
This is how you "Do it for Dale" bigly
They would have to build grandstands all around this track if they were to reopen this track again because people would come to this track like they used to at Bristol.
I would love to see it.
Bring it back....
38:25
i love that Jeff keeps the gloves on. Next one of you needs to where the whole race suit.
I can't wait to Try good old Wilkesboro
Thank you oll 🙏 amen to that
The gap on the backstretch, safety walls, and that pit entrance will all need changed to bring it up to safety specs. racing this place is an 87 tbird will be great.
Those are going to be awesome when they come out. They've had the old Lotus F1 car for ages, we've been in need of a vintage stock car for a while. Hopefully they just stick them here until the season ends and a proper schedule can be built.
Coming back two years later to watch this after seeing Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain tangle for like the third time, it's funny to see Chastain wipe him out there at the end. LMAO
Awesome video liked 👍🏎🏆
Surprisingly entertaining.
Hey @Nascar, if you dont bring this track back, atleast try and have an iRacing off season series where we can still see some nascar action during the winter
I am becoming a big fan of Clint Bower, Always been routing for K Busch..Now when the real Nascar kicks off I will have 2 favorites. go 14 and 18 !
My Grandpa lived near the track. He passed away about the time Wilkesboro was lost. I hope Dale can bring it back.
I’d like to see the cup racers run the Daytona beach track on Iracing
It’s a shame it isn’t on the calendar, if you think it is possible to return, comment it, but I don’t see it happen sadly😢😢
It would be amazing, but it's sadly untenable. First you have to go kiss Bruton's ring and get him to sell it to you. Then you're going to overpay him by almost 200%. Then you have to raze every structure (including the stands) and rebuild everything to code as well as modern NASCAR standards. The facility would probably need/want lights to make it viable for other events (Richmond, Bristol, Darlington, Martinsville all have them now). Land is inadequate for parking and camping, so you would need to acquire thousands of more acres close to the track. You would need a billionaire who has it to burn and loves NASCAR enough to do it out of passion for the sport.
Well here we are in 2022, and the cup series will be here in 2023
Cheers! 🍻
Anyone able to find what wheel setup Clint and Jeff are using?
We need this race to happen irl wilkesboro needs that kinda traffic there again
race is life
The best races happened at this track. It truly was a shame that the owners took it away. Please bring it back. Oh and hey Larry Mac, I was there when Davey won in 1992 and got his autograph after the race when he stayed and signed his autograph until every person had left.
BRING IT BACK irl not just digitally
They have a lot of work to do to North Wilkesboro Speedway to bring it back if someone will invest in the track this track was done dirty
Could they program 1990s style Monte Carlos, Grand Prixs and Thunderbirds for this?
They weren't avaliable at that time.
got an ad before the last word of the national anthem
Hundred or so years from now when no one ever leaves thier houses anymore this will be racing just more futuristic lol
its like watching Nascar Thunder and heat
19:39 watch the 21 car in the right side of the screen
He just dissappear in 20:34 too
He just disappear LOL
It's an issue with the internet connectivity on the the driver's end. They mentioned it in the early stages of the race. It has happened in every single event.
@@AppalachianDroneFlights ya I know but its the funniest thing..
