That gold Miller High Life Allison/Trickle Buick is absolutely killer looking. I think the Stavola Bros team history should be more well known than it is. What do you think?
its a small group that control the whole industry and they suck. Look at what it is today. Well honestly i haven't watched after Dale Jarret retired . It sucks to watched it go from the glory days of Earnhardt, and Davy Allison , (they were my 2 drivers . ) to what it is today. I can't watch what's on today is soo stupid and obviously not racing anymore. More like PR events for large corporations. I grew up at Charlotte motor ,,,spent many days at the track. Now you couldn't give me tickets . If they brought the old cars back I may give it a chance but we all know that won't happen.
I think these videos are absolutely awesome. I love the "behind the scenes" or history stories.. I could watch hours and hours of old school Nascar history stories.. Keep up the awesome work. Been subscribed since you were sleeping in the Ecalade on RMRW but you've got my likes for sure
Also, I generally skip all YT ads but for you 2 I will watch ads during your videos mainly because I can tell yall are good people but Also because you deserve it..GodBless
Cool that the new owner was nice enough to allow this. He could have been a total tool and said no. He seems to have an appreciation for the piece of history that he owns.
Man, I was addicted to Winston Cup from 1989 to 1996. I have a room in my house full of souvenirs from that era. This is so cool that you are visiting these forgotten shops. And it's even cooler that the new owner here kept it mostly original. Keep making these videos, they are worth watching to some of us. I especially like the grills the man has.
Crazy is how many these still have lots stuff to tie it back.. yates old engine shop few years ago had old dynos still in them. Evernhams old cup engine shop is owned by arrington.. its like a time capsule from 2008.. still old dodge engines apart on carts
This is so cool. I am a huge Dick trickle fan, in fact I race street stock and hobby stock here in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa and I run the number 99, and have replicated both his “white Knight “ and “ purple night” cars that he ran in the ASA days. In fact one night a few years ago I was racing in fountain city Wisconsin and a fellow came up and said he really liked my paint scheme and said he worked on Dick’s cars in the 70’s and 80’s. After the races we had a few beers and he told a few stories from back in the day. Thanks for the video.
I worked at Stavola Bros. in '94. It was great to see Greg doing the tour, I can't think of anyone better. What a great walk down memory lane. Thank you guys!
Mitchell and Logan thanks again for letting me be a part of this awesome video. It brought back so many memories. It was almost hard to stay focused.😂. All the drivers we had there I became friends with. Keep up the great work guys. And your closing remarks were spot on!!
Hello Greg.. Good memories but yall didn't show my side of the facility.. I was there in 1996 after leaving A,G, Dillard Motorsports in Charlottesville,Va. the previous 2 seasons a d almost came back in 1998 with Ingle.. Very good tour
Great Video! I was friends with #8 Circuit City Hut Strickin car Transport driver Bart Creasman. I Havent spoke to him since 2004 he had some stories. We drank alot of beer in Daytona ! Dick Trickle was by far one of the coolist guys you could ever meet. I had a few beers with him too. LOL! Thanks so much bringing the history back to life. Keep the great videos coming!
This kinda took me back hearing about Dick Trickle cause when I was a small boy he was my favorite driver at Slinger , great times hanging out with my uncle Dave at the short track
The person he is referring to at 31:39 is Ed Brasefield I believe. My parents met and became friends with Ed when they were shopping for an RV in 1980. Ed was working part time at the RV dealer and was employed full time at Trap Rock Industries which Billy & Mickey Stavola owned in New Jersey. Through the friendship with Ed my father eventually became a "weekend warrior" in '84 & '85. He mainly brought the tires into the pits and ran and got the gas cans refueld between pit stops. In January of '86 or '87 he was offered an opportunity to drive one of the haulers since he drove a truck for a living. I was too young to remember why and my father has since passed away many years ago but he ended up not taking the job and came back home to Jersey after about a month. I always wonder what could have been if he stayed and took the job. I remember Bobby Hillin having dinner in our motorhome after a race in Dover in either '84 or '85.
These videos could literally be about anything and I’d watch it. It’s the passion for the subject matter that the people you have on and y’all have that I enjoy.
I enjoyed the Dick Trickle stories. In the early 90s we were camping in the infield at Pocono & after Saturday afternoon practice here comes Dick making his way from camper to camper. He sat down & had a beer with us & chatted a while & then went on his way. He was just one of us & gave us a lifelong memory.
I loved the part with the Dick Trickle memories. Watched him as a kid in Wisconsin before he went down south. Guys up here were way more than drivers, they had to build a lot of their own stuff, set it up, and win to pay bills. In his heyday he could race 5 nights a week and make more money than a cup driver. And the long winters left alot of time to build and learn everything about chassis setup and engines. He would even race snowmobiles too! A true legend.
My family was a hydroplane racing team and I got raised around Motors and aerodynamics. Our race shop was the same way, gets added onto so many time you get lost if you don't know. Miss those days alot, thanks you 2. Keep on keeping on
These Nascar history tour type videos ate becoming my favorite. I like all kinds of racing but this nadcar history stuff is way interesting man. Thanks for the content.
It was really nice that the owner let you go all over his shop. Not many would do that. I can just immagine how many old memories were there. A lot of great drivers drove for the Stavola Bros. Bobby Allison is quite the man. I hear that he's still doing well. Keep doing what you enjoy for as long as you can. Cheer up my friend, things have to get better.
Thanks for another excellent video of an important NASCAR historical era, Mitchell. Bobby Allison was one of my childhood HEROES growing up (I grew up in Miami FL, and saw him race quite a bit in the early days of his professional career down there in Hialeah) and seeing the shop where his ‘88 Daytona winning car was fabricated & prepared for that incredible victory was AWE INSPIRING! The late 80’s Buicks were always “the weird cousin that took a lot of time to love,” but once Allison won in that body style, he made your “Granddad’s Buick” COOL! Great video tours. Keep ‘em coming! And YES, I watch them from beginning to end…
Thank you to the owner. I never met him but am a cousin of Trickle's and was hoping there'd be a story about him. I love the racing history, you are doing an excellent job with these. Keep it up.
It just brings a smile to your face seeing someone remembering such cool experiences in life. such cool guys keep up the bad ass content. This is the reason that such cool history will not be forgotten.
Great to revisit these old shops. Glad you are documenting these before they get torn down or divided up and are no longer recognizable. Great work you two--keep up the good work!!!!
Seeing how happy Greg was is awesome. I got to meet him a few years back at a gas station. If I didn’t have to leave I’m pretty sure he woulda talked all day about racing
Trickle story for you. I was a crew member on a SLM that we ran weekly at Slinger. I got to know Trickle well back then. There was like 5 minutes left in qualifying for the Slinger Nationals, 1992 I think. Trickle wasn’t there yet. We see his hauler pull in, cover off the car and the car is running. Jim Boomsach was driving and Vic Getzloff in the passenger seat, the other guys in the sleeper, Trickle in the car and it’s running and revving. Jim parks the truck, they jump out and set the ramps and unstrap the car. Dick literally rolled the car off the hauler with 3 minutes to spare, hits the track and sets fast time!
Watching his face as the memories came back was great. He would say something as he remembered and then walk over and there's evidence of what he's saying. Freakin awesome.
You're doing a service to the Nascar world,preserving history,and educating people with every video...love the positivity,and the content...keep doing you man...you got the life...enjoy..
Love the history. I Like the Trickle content. He had the 8 car sideways through an entire turn on one of the big tracks during a cup race. People just don't do that. In the interview he said "I wasn't getting passed, and wasn't catching anyone so I tried to pick up the pace. "
Another great video, man it does matter I enjoy and look forward to each one I get lost in it and like you said you could see the gears turning in Greg's head man what great times. It wasn't all roses I don't mean that but man the feeling I get from this, wish I was there it's just awesome. Much love from Kentucky! Y'all be safe can't wait for more, thanks Mitchell and Logan I can't say enough about how great this is!!!!!!
Loved it Mitchell! Surprised there weren't commercials. His gears were turning and that's cool that you helped bring back part of his history as well. I need that smoker!
I love seeing videos like this, it's cool to see NASCAR and its building to when it peaked around 98-04. Getting to see the places that built champions and legends that will live on forever is super cool, history that would otherwise be forgotten. Keep doing what you're doing brother!
I loved to hear him reminiscing about Dick Trickle. I was fortunate to be around him and his team in the ASA and Artgo days when I was growing up. He was truly a legend and I miss him. As a suggestion, I would like to see a segment on Alan Kulwicki's first shop that he rented from Dennis Frings. Thank you for all of your videos!
Man I'm all for southern Racers and good old boy attitude, but you guys gotta admit we got some pretty hard-ass stubborn Racers that knew their s*** coming out of Wisconsin, the two mentioned in this video Dick Trickle who I remember racing local when I was a kid and Alan kulwicki. It would have been cool to see Allen's shop. Watching The Mark Martin video was great but it didn't show the brass tacks behind the scenes like this video here this is the best one you've done getting the walkthrough with one of the former employees that had Hands-On knowledge of everything that went on on that property. This episode here was more than me trying to catch a glimpse of a set of sexy legs by the way you're a lucky man LOL just saying, I couldn't wait to get a look around the next corner, that shop was phenomenal! good on you. thanks for the tour.
This is way to much to absorb watching one time I have to watch and hit pause and go back down memory lane and Watch the people you are talking to go back down memory lane.. My God!! Thank you.!! DAM AWESOME.!!
Took me a couple days to finally get this watched but well worth it. It was really cool to see him back there. Also thank you for putting the effort forth to cover this stuff, truely appreciated.
These videos absolutely matter. You guys are shining a light on the history, people, buildings that are just disappearing. Kudos for doing what you do!
Mickey and Billy were the best guys anyone could work for. I have been in those buildings many times and use to have all the keys to all those buildings and to all their shops in NJ. Did you know both Mickey and Billy were Ice Boat racers themselves.
"rotating circle of brainless entertainment"...I like that Lol so true. I'm so glad RUclips recommended your channel to me some time ago because your videos and trips back in time are internet gold. No other sport has the kinda history that NASCAR and stock car racing in general has..the stories out there are incredible and THANK YOU for taking the time to uncover it. I will watch as many ads as I have to for the pleasure of these videos..please DONT STOP any time soon. You guys and your channel freaking rock.
I love this type of video. I worked in racing my whole life Racing shock company NASCAR show cars. Old race shops are really cool when you have someone that worked there go thru it tell it like it was. Great video.
Thank you again!!! This is what I like to see history about nascar. I was born in 86 and saw nascar till 2000 so I don’t know anything about the pass and this helps alot wish I was born earlier to see this live
Mitchell...Logan...THANK you both, again for making my month. Please, please, keep taking us on these historical adventures, it literally gives me something to look forward to in a time that I don't have much to look forward to. You guys make me feel like a 43 year old 10 year old, as I've said before. No better feeling. Love you both. Thank you so much for what you're doing.
The history revisited videos are so neat because you forget a lot of things that went on or happened and it all comes back and more, the racing community is smaller than people think as there is so many people that know people at it all reconnects. Even when everybody is doing something different in racing it all connects as everybody follows in someway so you can hopefully put the puzzles together and get the stories out there and help put the history to the next generation.
53:20 I can't tell you how much I hear what you're saying here. The are so many things that I can't stand in today's society but we won't get into that here. I'll be 48 this year. 80's and 90's NASCAR was my era as a fan so everything you're doing is feeding my jones directly. I feel lucky that people like yourself are making connections and these videos 20-30 years after the fact. Thanks for going to the lengths that you do in making such great content. It's appreciated!
These old shops are so cool. Its so crazy to even think you could win the Daytona 500 hundred out of a place like this.The bad lighting and maze like small rooms not like todays corporate sponsored mega shops. Awesome series.
He was talking about dick trickle it's just sad that he could not take the pain of his granddaughter death it hurt him so bad he was at a store I went to all the time he said so many times he did not want to live with the pain anymore I remember he went up to the graveyard that day and ended his life what a sad day I still talk to his son Chad at least a few time a week
I was a huge NASCAR fan in my early teens through early 20s. That was the time period most of the legends you are doing historical dives into were at their prime. Utterly love seeing all the historical and behind the scenes stuff that went on in that era.
I was the electricians son Greg called out (Bob Quesenberry). I spent some time working there myself doing electrical. Raced a little with Greg at Concord too. Cool video.
I love your videos. I am from the UK but have been a huge NASCAR fan my whole life. My dad used to race TVR Tuscans here in the UK, which sound wise are about as close as you could come to a NASCAR, and videos like this remind me of the time we spent at the factory where the cars were worked on. It's bucket list for me to come over one day, catch a race live, and see as many of these places as possible.
Thanks Mitchell and Logan just what I need with a couple of beers on a Saturday evening,I’m addicted to all this history I could sit for hours listening to all these stories absolutely love it!!! Keep up the excellent work can’t wait for the next one!! Keeps that history alive let’s not forget it 🤘🏻🏴
The 80s and 90s were the best years for this sport to me. I haven't watched a race in years as it is just a showdow of what it use to be. Your channel is pure gold for bringing the glory days of racing back to my memory. Thank you for these videos. Love the goodwrench trailer im jealous but happy you have it
That was great! Stapleton , from Wisconsin,the Trickle stuff is awesome, I've met him several times at Slinger, Milwaukee, 9 years ago on the 16 the of may he took his life, people still can't get over it up here,I will be attending the Memorial in Rudolph Wi on May 22, thanks for the videos
Omg that tour was awesome, to have an original employee to help decipher the past with the shop put it to a new level. You have put out some great videos but the old shop videos are so amazing. I've been a NASCAR fan since the mid 80s, specifically Mark Martin. You are part of the solution and the documentation of the old shops needs to happen before there is no more evidence of the past. Thank you for what you do and can't wait for the next shop tour.
Started in 1955 going to races at Daytona Slept in a great aunts chest of drawers drawer....Family life began for me in Davidson county. went to HS in Trinity NC. Whole family were nascar fans...I reckon that's why I became a mechanic...raced dirt drag Harleys....worked on the Ray Price Harley Davidson team. RIP Ray.
I was a big Bobby Allison fan from when I was a kid in the 70s. I reallly enjoyed his career resurgence when he got with Stavola Bros in 1986. Great years. I also became a huge Davey Allison fan when he came on in 1987
Keep up the the adventure of Nascar history. I remember watching Nascar as a kid from the 70's and on up. Your videos will probably get saved for the Nascar Museum and played for decades. Fine work!
Thanks for these tours of NASCAR history. Even though I cannot get into that racing today, I really like seeing the history back when I first started watching NASCAR. You guys are lucky that you can support yourselves with this channel. I am still doing the day job and trying to get videos out.
There are two standout events with my father that will be with me forever. One was the first the first time he saw a B-17 fly in 34 years since his discharge from the Army Air Corp in 1945. The other was when we topped the hill to the spectator seating at Talladega, then became season ticket holders. I lost my dad in 2002.. Thank You for presenting a pathway to memories where details become lost over time and are remembered again shedding tears of joy.
I will forever watch these nascar history videos, alot of good stories have been told through all your videos so thank you for your time Mitchell and keep bringing us this content when you can
I was born in 82' and grew up around racing my whole life. In fact, I was 2 years old racing die cast cars around in the dirt at our local dirt track that doesn't exist anymore (Riverside Speedway in Travelers Rest, SC). Anyways, I remember these golden years of NASCAR and watching it every weekend with my Dad. I remember rushing home from church on Sunday's just so I could make it in time to watch the Daytona 500. I remember when Richard Petty wrecked at Daytona and seeing it on my little black and white TV that was probably only about 6" wide. All of your videos bring back memories of my childhood and definitely the good old days of racing. It even takes me back to my years of racing dirt in the late 90's to early 2000's. I always thought that my career would take me down the paths of NASCAR and racing, but life had other plans. Your videos help me to relive a lot of the times that I have forgotten. It's amazing to think that I grew up in the heartland of all of this stuff and I am still learning so much! Keep up the awesome work and keep the content coming!
Bless you and Logan for doing what you are doing. It is so refreshing to delve into these stories in depth again. Next month hopefully I'll enter my eighty first year on this wonderful place we all call home. For over seventy of those years I've been a racing fan from the mountains (Asheville) of North Carolina, originally. Banjo Matthews was my childhood hero and became the legend that he is as I cheered him on. I just finished the book "Awesome Bill From Dawsonville" and what a story. He too became my favorite driver, in that I too today live in Georgia. It is a wonderful book, all who have an interest, check it out in your local library. Take my word for it if you will, with the respect I already had for what that Elliott family did in order to race for our entertainment, the book gave me even a new found respect. Truly awesome. Keep up the great work team. Your content is soooooo refreshing. God Bless you both.
Oh my brain. BOOM! That was the best walk around, taking us all back in time like a ghost of the past was giving you a guided tour. Greg is the coolest guy and I respect him for his discretion in not bringing up the seedier details of the lifestyles back in the day. I would "LOVE!!!" to see you help contact as many of the old crew as are still alive to organize and have a reunion. It is getting to the time when many of them will start to pass and all their knowledge or cute stories will be gone forever. The new owner Joey is awesome to open up like that, so you could go through everything in the facility. I wonder what is left, if any in the other number 2 car's building. You and your wife, are rocking things and I can't wait to see more from your channel.
Continually impressed with your awesome documentation and exploration of these old places. This is history and it should be celebrated and treasured. I got goosebumps thinking about Bobby Allison’s Pocono car being up in the storage space. Sometimes I feel weird being so interested in nascar stories that happened before I was even born but I am glad to see there are people of my generation that still care about Nascar history. I love this stuff and am so thankful you do videos like this!! I would love to see the old DEI deer head shop explored someday. Bill and Elliott’s shop in Dawsonville and Junior Johnson’s old shop outside of Wilkesboro would also be cool to see.
Really Cool... your so lucky to go vist these shops...... because these shops are who made & are the Golden Age of NASCAR !!!!! These shops were real people who chased their Dream of RACING ! Hip hip hip HURRAY to you
The Stavola Brothers team was my favorite when I first started getting into NASCAR, one of my favorite memories was Bobby Hillin Jr in the Snickers Buick at the Pepsi 400 in 1990, he nearly won the race but spun on pit road from the lead. The team always seemed like they were just on the cusp of being a top tier team but just couldn't quite get there after Bobby Allison's crash.
Thanks for this tour video. I grew up going to, and still go to, my home track Wall Stadium here in New Jersey. The Stavola's were involved in racing here for as long as I can remember. When they decided to field a Winston Cup team, to us locals, that was the coolest thing ever. It was pretty big news around here at the time. It gave us a Jersey connection to a very southern sport. To see the shop where it all happened brought back that sense of local connection. To see how the operation grew addition by addition spoke to the history of the team. Thanks for that. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in future episodes. P. S. Tell Joey that we need some build plans for that smoker at the end there.
Well I have been watching your channel for a long time and been a nascar fan since I was like 8 or 9 years old now I am 42 and it's great to see what you put up and the history of what the old nascar drives went though when they were racing until now and all of the equipment that they used until now what has changed through the years. I would like to see more of the content like this and keep up the great work you are doing
Awesome video Mitchell I love that you and Logan are going back in time doing the old race shops that made the sport what it is today before it got so commercialized those guys built cars in two bay shops then added on and continued till another add on Greg was a wealth of knowledge and historian of that old shop. My first Daytona 500 Bobby 1st and Davey 2nd 1988 what a great memory. I became the biggest Davey Allison fan that day. Keep up the fantastic work love all your videos.
It's so much oral history that you are capturing that makes this important. The one off's like Morgan McClure in Abington, VA or Junior Johnson in Wilksboro NC that could be most interesting if any of it still exists.
When these guys are gone their memories and knowledge pass with them. Only way to keep it alive is to sit and listen. But life gets busy. I thank God for the folks immortalizing those convos on RUclips for us to absorb any time
The videos are great. It’s midnight and I’ve watched the whole video and will watch everyone. I grew up during the era of everything your showing. Todays racing will never compare to the past. Goodnight guys. 🇺🇸🏁
Awesome content. I absolutely love being able to get a tour of these old race shops but really liked having a tour guide that worked there. I think it was Awesome to have Greg talk about working there and his stories. Keep it up guys, you are doing a great job a of helping preserve the history of Nascar.
Another great video. Lots of artifacts from it's Nascar history and great stories. You are definately part of the solution. Good history and nicely filmed.
One of the things Greg mentioned really perked my ears about the body panels being sent from the manufacturer and the race teams would trim/massage the panels for the car. Answered a question I had about these cars I've always wondered about. I am a big fan of 80s Monte Carlo's and I knew therace teams used a ton of stock parts on the racers but always wondered about the roof, fenders and qtr panels. Just a great era in NASCAR.
Thanks for bringing this out for people to see. 10-15 year Nascar fan has no idea how teams operated back in the day. I visited this shop with my Raybestos rep friend when Jeff Burton drove and everyone at the shop was very friendly.
You're spot on about the mindless entertainment, I'm glad you're exploring history and all it's cool stories, well done to you and all the best as you keep bringing all this history back to life
That was awesome, Greg's a cool guy and it was great to see him reminisce about his time there. I always watch till the end and your mixture of building your cars and doing cool NASCAR stuff is why I'm here. The Escalade drew me into your channel way back when and my advice is just to keep filming whatever blows your boat.
I moved to Charlotte in 1990. I was an Indycar fan by birth(Indiana) but, became a NASCAR fan as well and watched it grow. I drove by that shop many times and it is awesome to see the many memories that you bring out in these videos. Greg and Joey were the perfect tour guides! The end of your video is Spot On. I've been Subscribed and I look forward to more Nostalgic, heartwarming, memory wakening videos. Thank you!
Being an Ole' Timer it is great to see these videos, I did not realize many of the (issues) things that were worked though. I enjoy seeing and hearing this history from the people that were there. (Behind the scenes people are the best.) I am very happy that the current owner opened his shop to allow you to do this remembrance video. You and Logan keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing what you all do next.
"Mitch and Logan: The Paul Harvey of NASCAR." Once they visit, you always know the rest of the story! Another classic video!! Have you considered posting the full visit video, then cutting it into smaller videos and posting those too (maybe in between shop visits?) I prefer the full videos myself, but just like Cup races, some folks have shorter attention spans. Thanks again!
Love this 80s and 90s nascar stuff !! Please keep these old shop tours and home town tours coming from this era. To bad old iron head isn’t around for one of these , it would be a 10wk mini series. Great job guys !!! One day there will be an up and comer content maker and he will be telling your story .
I could listen to these kinda stories all day, if only the buildings themselves could talk. Thanks for taking the time to hunt these places down and record the tales of those who were there in the middle of it all, it's greatly appreciated. I need that smoker from the bonus footage, that thing looks sick.
this is the kind of content i have been wanting to see, back in the late 80s and 90s i always wanted to see the race shops ... thank you for keeping the era of nascar that i loved alive!!! i cant wait to see what you have coming up ! thank you!!!
its cool to see how the shops still resonate in former employees minds you can see the looks on there face with memories being jogged from their past days working in the shops !!!
I always did love the Circuit City cars that Hut Stricklin would drive for the Stavolas. So cool to see this shop! Greg mentioned 2000........I know Bobby Hillin's Busch series team worked out of this shop too. Was Greg a part of it?
I worked for Circuit City early 90's to 2000. We always joked that Stricklin's car should have Circuit City on the under sided of it. Seeing it seemed to always be crashed.
That gold Miller High Life Allison/Trickle Buick is absolutely killer looking. I think the Stavola Bros team history should be more well known than it is. What do you think?
I agree! 💯
Yes that was glory days of nascar, lots of good memories came back watching this video. Thanks 4, sharing this.
its a small group that control the whole industry and they suck. Look at what it is today. Well honestly i haven't watched after Dale Jarret retired . It sucks to watched it go from the glory days of Earnhardt, and Davy Allison , (they were my 2 drivers . ) to what it is today.
I can't watch what's on today is soo stupid and obviously not racing anymore. More like PR events for large corporations. I grew up at Charlotte motor ,,,spent many days at the track. Now you couldn't give me tickets . If they brought the old cars back I may give it a chance but we all know that won't happen.
I think these videos are absolutely awesome. I love the "behind the scenes" or history stories.. I could watch hours and hours of old school Nascar history stories.. Keep up the awesome work. Been subscribed since you were sleeping in the Ecalade on RMRW but you've got my likes for sure
Also, I generally skip all YT ads but for you 2 I will watch ads during your videos mainly because I can tell yall are good people but Also because you deserve it..GodBless
Cool that the new owner was nice enough to allow this. He could have been a total tool and said no. He seems to have an appreciation for the piece of history that he owns.
He absolutely does. Joey is a cool dude
Exactly what I was going to comment. You can tell even though it’s his now, he has a lot of respect for what was there before him.
I think he's really interested the history as well
Man, I was addicted to Winston Cup from 1989 to 1996. I have a room in my house full of souvenirs from that era. This is so cool that you are visiting these forgotten shops. And it's even cooler that the new owner here kept it mostly original. Keep making these videos, they are worth watching to some of us. I especially like the grills the man has.
Dude the easter eggs you find are timeless!! Every old Cup series shop should be falling over themselves to have you visiting them.
One video at a time more doors are opened! Thanks man 💪🏻
@@Stapleton42 i bet sometimes you have to pinch yourself to ensure that this is real! I for sure look forward to the next installment.
Crazy is how many these still have lots stuff to tie it back.. yates old engine shop few years ago had old dynos still in them. Evernhams old cup engine shop is owned by arrington.. its like a time capsule from 2008.. still old dodge engines apart on carts
This is so cool. I am a huge Dick trickle fan, in fact I race street stock and hobby stock here in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa and I run the number 99, and have replicated both his “white Knight “ and “ purple night” cars that he ran in the ASA days. In fact one night a few years ago I was racing in fountain city Wisconsin and a fellow came up and said he really liked my paint scheme and said he worked on Dick’s cars in the 70’s and 80’s. After the races we had a few beers and he told a few stories from back in the day. Thanks for the video.
That’s awesome Greg!
I worked at Stavola Bros. in '94. It was great to see Greg doing the tour, I can't think of anyone better. What a great walk down memory lane. Thank you guys!
Mitchell and Logan thanks again for letting me be a part of this awesome video. It brought back so many memories. It was almost hard to stay focused.😂. All the drivers we had there I became friends with. Keep up the great work guys. And your closing remarks were spot on!!
Thank you Greg! We’re very grateful for the opportunity to do this 💪🏻
Hello Greg..
Good memories but yall didn't show my side of the facility.. I was there in 1996 after leaving A,G, Dillard Motorsports in Charlottesville,Va. the previous 2 seasons a d almost came back in 1998 with Ingle..
Very good tour

Stavola Brothers Racing Number 8 Buick From The 80s And Early 90s Awesome Race Shop ☺😎 Thanks For Uploading
The golden era
@@Stapleton42 I Like Buick Regal And Chevrolet Lumina From The Early 90s In My Opinion NASCAR History
I can't get enough of Dick Trickle stories. Hope you find some more.
The stories these race shops hold are amazing. Thanks as always Stapleton
Thanks for watching Jared 💪🏻
Great Video! I was friends with #8 Circuit City Hut Strickin car Transport driver Bart Creasman. I Havent spoke to him since 2004 he had some stories. We drank alot of beer in Daytona ! Dick Trickle was by far one of the coolist guys you could ever meet. I had a few beers with him too. LOL! Thanks so much bringing the history back to life. Keep the great videos coming!
This kinda took me back hearing about Dick Trickle cause when I was a small boy he was my favorite driver at Slinger , great times hanging out with my uncle Dave at the short track
Just scrolling through RUclips and seen the photo with Trickle in it and clicked and after the video I subscribed, great content man.
The person he is referring to at 31:39 is Ed Brasefield I believe. My parents met and became friends with Ed when they were shopping for an RV in 1980. Ed was working part time at the RV dealer and was employed full time at Trap Rock Industries which Billy & Mickey Stavola owned in New Jersey. Through the friendship with Ed my father eventually became a "weekend warrior" in '84 & '85. He mainly brought the tires into the pits and ran and got the gas cans refueld between pit stops. In January of '86 or '87 he was offered an opportunity to drive one of the haulers since he drove a truck for a living. I was too young to remember why and my father has since passed away many years ago but he ended up not taking the job and came back home to Jersey after about a month. I always wonder what could have been if he stayed and took the job. I remember Bobby Hillin having dinner in our motorhome after a race in Dover in either '84 or '85.
These videos could literally be about anything and I’d watch it. It’s the passion for the subject matter that the people you have on and y’all have that I enjoy.
Thanks Clay I’m glad you see that 💪🏻
Allison’s Miller High Life Car has always been one of the best looking NASCAR’s in my opinion.
That paint scheme just looks so crisp.
Agreed
You can tell as the video goes on the gears kept turning and more came back to him from back then. It’s so cool watching these videos.
I enjoyed the Dick Trickle stories. In the early 90s we were camping in the infield at Pocono & after Saturday afternoon practice here comes Dick making his way from camper to camper. He sat down & had a beer with us & chatted a while & then went on his way. He was just one of us & gave us a lifelong memory.
I loved the part with the Dick Trickle memories. Watched him as a kid in Wisconsin before he went down south. Guys up here were way more than drivers, they had to build a lot of their own stuff, set it up, and win to pay bills. In his heyday he could race 5 nights a week and make more money than a cup driver. And the long winters left alot of time to build and learn everything about chassis setup and engines. He would even race snowmobiles too! A true legend.
It was so cool to hear Greg talk about Dick Trickle. I was kid in the 70s and Trickle was racing supper stocks , his mustang was bad ass.
Dude this type of content is pure Nascar Gold.
Thanks Brian. We’re out to bring it all to light 💪🏻
My family was a hydroplane racing team and I got raised around Motors and aerodynamics. Our race shop was the same way, gets added onto so many time you get lost if you don't know. Miss those days alot, thanks you 2. Keep on keeping on
These Nascar history tour type videos ate becoming my favorite. I like all kinds of racing but this nadcar history stuff is way interesting man. Thanks for the content.
Thanks dude 💪🏻
And the boys that ran it had big ol' nads... sorry man, had to...
@@sykwookiee all good man. I laughed when i realized too.
It was really nice that the owner let you go all over his shop. Not many would do that. I can just immagine how many old memories were there. A lot of great drivers drove for the Stavola Bros. Bobby Allison is quite the man. I hear that he's still doing well.
Keep doing what you enjoy for as long as you can.
Cheer up my friend, things have to get better.
Thanks for another excellent video of an important NASCAR historical era, Mitchell. Bobby Allison was one of my childhood HEROES growing up (I grew up in Miami FL, and saw him race quite a bit in the early days of his professional career down there in Hialeah) and seeing the shop where his ‘88 Daytona winning car was fabricated & prepared for that incredible victory was AWE INSPIRING! The late 80’s Buicks were always “the weird cousin that took a lot of time to love,” but once Allison won in that body style, he made your “Granddad’s Buick” COOL!
Great video tours. Keep ‘em coming! And YES, I watch them from beginning to end…
Thats awesome man. I agree on the shovel nose Buick lol once you see Bobbys 88 car you think they're kinda cool lol
Thank you to the owner. I never met him but am a cousin of Trickle's and was hoping there'd be a story about him. I love the racing history, you are doing an excellent job with these. Keep it up.
It just brings a smile to your face seeing someone remembering such cool experiences in life. such cool guys keep up the bad ass content. This is the reason that such cool history will not be forgotten.
Thanks Joseph. It was a really good feeling to watch Greg light up when he remembered something
Great to revisit these old shops. Glad you are documenting these before they get torn down or divided up and are no longer recognizable. Great work you two--keep up the good work!!!!
Seeing how happy Greg was is awesome. I got to meet him a few years back at a gas station. If I didn’t have to leave I’m pretty sure he woulda talked all day about racing
Trickle story for you. I was a crew member on a SLM that we ran weekly at Slinger. I got to know Trickle well back then. There was like 5 minutes left in qualifying for the Slinger Nationals, 1992 I think. Trickle wasn’t there yet. We see his hauler pull in, cover off the car and the car is running. Jim Boomsach was driving and Vic Getzloff in the passenger seat, the other guys in the sleeper, Trickle in the car and it’s running and revving. Jim parks the truck, they jump out and set the ramps and unstrap the car. Dick literally rolled the car off the hauler with 3 minutes to spare, hits the track and sets fast time!
That’s awesome 😂
ITs important because, weather we like it or not. It is part of American history. Loved it.
Exactly man 💪🏻
It’s really awesome that you guys are honoring the guys that set the pace for the young guns today.
Watching his face as the memories came back was great. He would say something as he remembered and then walk over and there's evidence of what he's saying. Freakin awesome.
Spot on man
You're doing a service to the Nascar world,preserving history,and educating people with every video...love the positivity,and the content...keep doing you man...you got the life...enjoy..
Love the history. I Like the Trickle content. He had the 8 car sideways through an entire turn on one of the big tracks during a cup race. People just don't do that. In the interview he said "I wasn't getting passed, and wasn't catching anyone so I tried to pick up the pace. "
Another great video, man it does matter I enjoy and look forward to each one I get lost in it and like you said you could see the gears turning in Greg's head man what great times. It wasn't all roses I don't mean that but man the feeling I get from this, wish I was there it's just awesome. Much love from Kentucky! Y'all be safe can't wait for more, thanks Mitchell and Logan I can't say enough about how great this is!!!!!!
Loved it Mitchell! Surprised there weren't commercials. His gears were turning and that's cool that you helped bring back part of his history as well. I need that smoker!
Thanks man!
You guys keep up the great job. I was there when Bobby won that 500 was also there when Bobby and Davey ran 1st and 2nd at the 400 very cool times.
I love seeing videos like this, it's cool to see NASCAR and its building to when it peaked around 98-04. Getting to see the places that built champions and legends that will live on forever is super cool, history that would otherwise be forgotten. Keep doing what you're doing brother!
I loved to hear him reminiscing about Dick Trickle. I was fortunate to be around him and his team in the ASA and Artgo days when I was growing up. He was truly a legend and I miss him. As a suggestion, I would like to see a segment on Alan Kulwicki's first shop that he rented from Dennis Frings. Thank you for all of your videos!
Outstanding video. The stories of Trickle. I watch plenty of your other stuff, but going to these old race shops is great content.
Thanks Brad. We are glad you are into the same stuff we are!!
@@Stapleton42 for sure.
Man I'm all for southern Racers and good old boy attitude, but you guys gotta admit we got some pretty hard-ass stubborn Racers that knew their s*** coming out of Wisconsin, the two mentioned in this video Dick Trickle who I remember racing local when I was a kid and Alan kulwicki. It would have been cool to see Allen's shop. Watching The Mark Martin video was great but it didn't show the brass tacks behind the scenes like this video here this is the best one you've done getting the walkthrough with one of the former employees that had Hands-On knowledge of everything that went on on that property. This episode here was more than me trying to catch a glimpse of a set of sexy legs by the way you're a lucky man LOL just saying, I couldn't wait to get a look around the next corner, that shop was phenomenal! good on you. thanks for the tour.
Awesome video! Having Greg and the owner guiding the tour was great. Loved the Trickle stories! Keep up the good work!
This is way to much to absorb watching one time I have to watch and hit pause and go back down memory lane and Watch the people you are talking to go back down memory lane.. My God!! Thank you.!! DAM AWESOME.!!
Thanks Scott we appreciate you being here to absorb it all!
Took me a couple days to finally get this watched but well worth it. It was really cool to see him back there. Also thank you for putting the effort forth to cover this stuff, truely appreciated.
These videos absolutely matter. You guys are shining a light on the history, people, buildings that are just disappearing. Kudos for doing what you do!
Mickey and Billy were the best guys anyone could work for. I have been in those buildings many times and use to have all the keys to all those buildings and to all their shops in NJ. Did you know both Mickey and Billy were Ice Boat racers themselves.
That’s awesome lol. I did know they raced boats too
"rotating circle of brainless entertainment"...I like that Lol so true. I'm so glad RUclips recommended your channel to me some time ago because your videos and trips back in time are internet gold. No other sport has the kinda history that NASCAR and stock car racing in general has..the stories out there are incredible and THANK YOU for taking the time to uncover it. I will watch as many ads as I have to for the pleasure of these videos..please DONT STOP any time soon. You guys and your channel freaking rock.
Thanks dude 💪🏻
I love this type of video. I worked in racing my whole life Racing shock company NASCAR show cars. Old race shops are really cool when you have someone that worked there go thru it tell it like it was. Great video.
Thanks Dave!
Thank you again!!! This is what I like to see history about nascar. I was born in 86 and saw nascar till 2000 so I don’t know anything about the pass and this helps alot wish I was born earlier to see this live
Thank You Both for making these. This is the nascar I care about, the modern version doesn't like the old fans.
Mitchell...Logan...THANK you both, again for making my month. Please, please, keep taking us on these historical adventures, it literally gives me something to look forward to in a time that I don't have much to look forward to. You guys make me feel like a 43 year old 10 year old, as I've said before. No better feeling. Love you both. Thank you so much for what you're doing.
The history revisited videos are so neat because you forget a lot of things that went on or happened and it all comes back and more, the racing community is smaller than people think as there is so many people that know people at it all reconnects. Even when everybody is doing something different in racing it all connects as everybody follows in someway so you can hopefully put the puzzles together and get the stories out there and help put the history to the next generation.
53:20 I can't tell you how much I hear what you're saying here. The are so many things that I can't stand in today's society but we won't get into that here. I'll be 48 this year. 80's and 90's NASCAR was my era as a fan so everything you're doing is feeding my jones directly. I feel lucky that people like yourself are making connections and these videos 20-30 years after the fact. Thanks for going to the lengths that you do in making such great content. It's appreciated!
These old shops are so cool. Its so crazy to even think you could win the Daytona 500 hundred out of a place like this.The bad lighting and maze like small rooms not like todays corporate sponsored mega shops. Awesome series.
Thanks dude. Great point. It’s wild to think about
He was talking about dick trickle it's just sad that he could not take the pain of his granddaughter death it hurt him so bad he was at a store I went to all the time he said so many times he did not want to live with the pain anymore I remember he went up to the graveyard that day and ended his life what a sad day I still talk to his son Chad at least a few time a week
I was a huge NASCAR fan in my early teens through early 20s. That was the time period most of the legends you are doing historical dives into were at their prime. Utterly love seeing all the historical and behind the scenes stuff that went on in that era.
I was the electricians son Greg called out (Bob Quesenberry). I spent some time working there myself doing electrical. Raced a little with Greg at Concord too. Cool video.
That’s awesome 😂
I love your videos. I am from the UK but have been a huge NASCAR fan my whole life. My dad used to race TVR Tuscans here in the UK, which sound wise are about as close as you could come to a NASCAR, and videos like this remind me of the time we spent at the factory where the cars were worked on. It's bucket list for me to come over one day, catch a race live, and see as many of these places as possible.
I remember those cars from Gran Turismo ps2 game 😂
Thanks Mitchell and Logan just what I need with a couple of beers on a Saturday evening,I’m addicted to all this history I could sit for hours listening to all these stories absolutely love it!!! Keep up the excellent work can’t wait for the next one!! Keeps that history alive let’s not forget it 🤘🏻🏴
Thanks dude 💪🏻
The 80s and 90s were the best years for this sport to me. I haven't watched a race in years as it is just a showdow of what it use to be. Your channel is pure gold for bringing the glory days of racing back to my memory. Thank you for these videos. Love the goodwrench trailer im jealous but happy you have it
Thank you James!
That was great! Stapleton , from Wisconsin,the Trickle stuff is awesome, I've met him several times at Slinger, Milwaukee, 9 years ago on the 16 the of may he took his life, people still can't get over it up here,I will be attending the Memorial in Rudolph Wi on May 22, thanks for the videos
You’re welcome Robert. Glad to have you on the team
Absolutely LOVE seeing all of these old shops and seeing where the behind the scenes stuff!!
Omg that tour was awesome, to have an original employee to help decipher the past with the shop put it to a new level. You have put out some great videos but the old shop videos are so amazing. I've been a NASCAR fan since the mid 80s, specifically Mark Martin. You are part of the solution and the documentation of the old shops needs to happen before there is no more evidence of the past. Thank you for what you do and can't wait for the next shop tour.
Thanks Jamie that’s exactly what we are out to do 💪🏻 one spot at a time
This is the content RUclips needs. This stuff is always fascinating to me. Cool of the present owners to let you in to see it.
Started in 1955 going to races at Daytona Slept in a great aunts chest of drawers drawer....Family life began for me in Davidson county. went to HS in Trinity NC. Whole family were nascar fans...I reckon that's why I became a mechanic...raced dirt drag Harleys....worked on the Ray Price Harley Davidson team. RIP Ray.
I was a big Bobby Allison fan from when I was a kid in the 70s. I reallly enjoyed his career resurgence when he got with Stavola Bros in 1986. Great years. I also became a huge Davey Allison fan when he came on in 1987
Love that history about old race shops. Keep it up!! The more the better👍
Keep up the the adventure of Nascar history. I remember watching Nascar as a kid from the 70's and on up. Your videos will probably get saved for the Nascar Museum and played for decades. Fine work!
Thanks for these tours of NASCAR history. Even though I cannot get into that racing today, I really like seeing the history back when I first started watching NASCAR.
You guys are lucky that you can support yourselves with this channel. I am still doing the day job and trying to get videos out.
There are two standout events with my father that will be with me forever. One was the first the first time he saw a B-17 fly in 34 years since his discharge from the Army Air Corp in 1945. The other was when we topped the hill to the spectator seating at Talladega, then became season ticket holders. I lost my dad in 2002.. Thank You for presenting a pathway to memories where details become lost over time and are remembered again shedding tears of joy.
I will forever watch these nascar history videos, alot of good stories have been told through all your videos so thank you for your time Mitchell and keep bringing us this content when you can
I was born in 82' and grew up around racing my whole life. In fact, I was 2 years old racing die cast cars around in the dirt at our local dirt track that doesn't exist anymore (Riverside Speedway in Travelers Rest, SC). Anyways, I remember these golden years of NASCAR and watching it every weekend with my Dad. I remember rushing home from church on Sunday's just so I could make it in time to watch the Daytona 500. I remember when Richard Petty wrecked at Daytona and seeing it on my little black and white TV that was probably only about 6" wide. All of your videos bring back memories of my childhood and definitely the good old days of racing. It even takes me back to my years of racing dirt in the late 90's to early 2000's. I always thought that my career would take me down the paths of NASCAR and racing, but life had other plans. Your videos help me to relive a lot of the times that I have forgotten. It's amazing to think that I grew up in the heartland of all of this stuff and I am still learning so much! Keep up the awesome work and keep the content coming!
Thanks man we are glad you’re here
Bless you and Logan for doing what you are doing. It is so refreshing to delve into these stories in depth again. Next month hopefully I'll enter my eighty first year on this wonderful place we all call home. For over seventy of those years I've been a racing fan from the mountains (Asheville) of North Carolina, originally. Banjo Matthews was my childhood hero and became the legend that he is as I cheered him on. I just finished the book "Awesome Bill From Dawsonville" and what a story. He too became my favorite driver, in that I too today live in Georgia. It is a wonderful book, all who have an interest, check it out in your local library. Take my word for it if you will, with the respect I already had for what that Elliott family did in order to race for our entertainment, the book gave me even a new found respect. Truly awesome. Keep up the great work team. Your content is soooooo refreshing. God Bless you both.
Thanks man!!
Oh my brain. BOOM! That was the best walk around, taking us all back in time like a ghost of the past was giving you a guided tour. Greg is the coolest guy and I respect him for his discretion in not bringing up the seedier details of the lifestyles back in the day. I would "LOVE!!!" to see you help contact as many of the old crew as are still alive to organize and have a reunion. It is getting to the time when many of them will start to pass and all their knowledge or cute stories will be gone forever. The new owner Joey is awesome to open up like that, so you could go through everything in the facility. I wonder what is left, if any in the other number 2 car's building. You and your wife, are rocking things and I can't wait to see more from your channel.
Continually impressed with your awesome documentation and exploration of these old places. This is history and it should be celebrated and treasured. I got goosebumps thinking about Bobby Allison’s Pocono car being up in the storage space. Sometimes I feel weird being so interested in nascar stories that happened before I was even born but I am glad to see there are people of my generation that still care about Nascar history. I love this stuff and am so thankful you do videos like this!! I would love to see the old DEI deer head shop explored someday. Bill and Elliott’s shop in Dawsonville and Junior Johnson’s old shop outside of Wilkesboro would also be cool to see.
Really Cool... your so lucky to go vist these shops...... because these shops are who made & are the Golden Age of NASCAR !!!!!
These shops were real people who chased their Dream of RACING !
Hip hip hip HURRAY to you
The Stavola Brothers team was my favorite when I first started getting into NASCAR, one of my favorite memories was Bobby Hillin Jr in the Snickers Buick at the Pepsi 400 in 1990, he nearly won the race but spun on pit road from the lead. The team always seemed like they were just on the cusp of being a top tier team but just couldn't quite get there after Bobby Allison's crash.
Love theses old shop videos and the history . It’s awesome to be able to get an old employee and get their story . Keep them coming !!
Thanks for this tour video. I grew up going to, and still go to, my home track Wall Stadium here in New Jersey. The Stavola's were involved in racing here for as long as I can remember. When they decided to field a Winston Cup team, to us locals, that was the coolest thing ever. It was pretty big news around here at the time. It gave us a Jersey connection to a very southern sport. To see the shop where it all happened brought back that sense of local connection. To see how the operation grew addition by addition spoke to the history of the team. Thanks for that. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in future episodes.
P. S. Tell Joey that we need some build plans for that smoker at the end there.
That’s awesome. We want to build one too 😂
Well I have been watching your channel for a long time and been a nascar fan since I was like 8 or 9 years old now I am 42 and it's great to see what you put up and the history of what the old nascar drives went though when they were racing until now and all of the equipment that they used until now what has changed through the years. I would like to see more of the content like this and keep up the great work you are doing
Thanks Jaremie 💪🏻
Hopefully when I have some extra money would love to get a shirt or a hoodie from you guys
Awesome video Mitchell I love that you and Logan are going back in time doing the old race shops that made the sport what it is today before it got so commercialized those guys built cars in two bay shops then added on and continued till another add on Greg was a wealth of knowledge and historian of that old shop. My first Daytona 500 Bobby 1st and Davey 2nd 1988 what a great memory. I became the biggest Davey Allison fan that day. Keep up the fantastic work love all your videos.
Thanks Brian. Greg is definitely a cool dude we’re glad he came out for this!
Logan and Mitchell, thank you for the time and effort you have put into these stories FOR US, it's appreciated. Ardrossan, Alberta, Canada.
It's so much oral history that you are capturing that makes this important. The one off's like Morgan McClure in Abington, VA or Junior Johnson in Wilksboro NC that could be most interesting if any of it still exists.
Working on both of those! Stay tuned
Glad I'm not the only one to mention Morgan McClure, just had a thought about maybe visiting DWs shop he had with the 17 car?
When these guys are gone their memories and knowledge pass with them. Only way to keep it alive is to sit and listen. But life gets busy. I thank God for the folks immortalizing those convos on RUclips for us to absorb any time
The videos are great. It’s midnight and I’ve watched the whole video and will watch everyone. I grew up during the era of everything your showing. Todays racing will never compare to the past. Goodnight guys. 🇺🇸🏁
Awesome content. I absolutely love being able to get a tour of these old race shops but really liked having a tour guide that worked there. I think it was Awesome to have Greg talk about working there and his stories. Keep it up guys, you are doing a great job a of helping preserve the history of Nascar.
Another great video. Lots of artifacts from it's Nascar history and great stories. You are definately part of the solution. Good history and nicely filmed.
One of the things Greg mentioned really perked my ears about the body panels being sent from the manufacturer and the race teams would trim/massage the panels for the car. Answered a question I had about these cars I've always wondered about. I am a big fan of 80s Monte Carlo's and I knew therace teams used a ton of stock parts on the racers but always wondered about the roof, fenders and qtr panels. Just a great era in NASCAR.
If you look at pictures they used some stock bumpers and noses, too.
Thanks for bringing this out for people to see. 10-15 year Nascar fan has no idea how teams operated back in the day. I visited this shop with my Raybestos rep friend when Jeff Burton drove and everyone at the shop was very friendly.
You’re welcome man. That’s awesome
You're spot on about the mindless entertainment, I'm glad you're exploring history and all it's cool stories, well done to you and all the best as you keep bringing all this history back to life
Thanks daniel!!
@@Stapleton42 no sir, thank you 👍
That was awesome, Greg's a cool guy and it was great to see him reminisce about his time there. I always watch till the end and your mixture of building your cars and doing cool NASCAR stuff is why I'm here. The Escalade drew me into your channel way back when and my advice is just to keep filming whatever blows your boat.
Thanks man. If the passion is present there will be videos about it!
I moved to Charlotte in 1990. I was an Indycar fan by birth(Indiana) but, became a NASCAR fan as well and watched it grow. I drove by that shop many times and it is awesome to see the many memories that you bring out in these videos. Greg and Joey were the perfect tour guides!
The end of your video is Spot On. I've been Subscribed and I look forward to more Nostalgic, heartwarming, memory wakening videos. Thank you!
Being an Ole' Timer it is great to see these videos, I did not realize many of the (issues) things that were worked though. I enjoy seeing and hearing this history from the people that were there. (Behind the scenes people are the best.) I am very happy that the current owner opened his shop to allow you to do this remembrance video. You and Logan keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing what you all do next.
Thanks David. Absolutely true we’re super glad Joey is a cool dude!
Another great nascar history lesson! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
"Mitch and Logan: The Paul Harvey of NASCAR." Once they visit, you always know the rest of the story! Another classic video!!
Have you considered posting the full visit video, then cutting it into smaller videos and posting those too (maybe in between shop visits?) I prefer the full videos myself, but just like Cup races, some folks have shorter attention spans. Thanks again!
Love this 80s and 90s nascar stuff !! Please keep these old shop tours and home town tours coming from this era. To bad old iron head isn’t around for one of these , it would be a 10wk mini series. Great job guys !!! One day there will be an up and comer content maker and he will be telling your story .
Thank you Chris!
You guys are so awesome for doing these videos I also love older nascar stuff and I enjoy the hell out of you guys doing this!
I could listen to these kinda stories all day, if only the buildings themselves could talk. Thanks for taking the time to hunt these places down and record the tales of those who were there in the middle of it all, it's greatly appreciated. I need that smoker from the bonus footage, that thing looks sick.
this is the kind of content i have been wanting to see, back in the late 80s and 90s i always wanted to see the race shops ... thank you for keeping the era of nascar that i loved alive!!! i cant wait to see what you have coming up ! thank you!!!
Thanks Mike!!
back then all we had to see inside the shops was a show hosted by Ned Jarrett called inside Winston Cup racing remember that show?
@@coleboonecustoms i do remember , it was a good show...
That's crazy right there. Thanks so much for the old race shops videos. I love every minute of them. Thanks again
Love your videos keep them coming. Totally the era of nascar I remember and appreciate it!
Thanks Matthew!!
its cool to see how the shops still resonate in former employees minds you can see the looks on there face with memories being jogged from their past days working in the shops !!!
Its so fun to witness isn't it!
@@Stapleton42 100% True brother !!!
I always did love the Circuit City cars that Hut Stricklin would drive for the Stavolas. So cool to see this shop! Greg mentioned 2000........I know Bobby Hillin's Busch series team worked out of this shop too. Was Greg a part of it?
I don’t know actually
I worked for Circuit City early 90's to 2000. We always joked that Stricklin's car should have Circuit City on the under sided of it. Seeing it seemed to always be crashed.
