Oh HELL NO. The sound of a V8 engine at speed is one of the draws to stockcar racing. If NASCAR ever goes to electric motors, it will be the begining of the end for them. To sit and watch 43 cars silently going around a track where the only sound is the tires on the pavement ain't gonna fly with true NASCAR fans. I for one (former racer and long time NASCAR fan) will be doing something else come race day. And I'll bet I won't be alone. NASCAR started dying the day we lost DALE.
I doesn't make a whole lot of sense to keep the sport going. The original incarnation of gear heads milking all the power they could out of production gasoline engines is ancient history. The culture is gone.
@@thealgorithm2841 stockcar racing all started as a way of showing who had the fastest "whiskey car". The roots of NASCAR was about who had the fastest car. I understand the changes in cars and technology over the years, but to remove the core of the sport which is what you built around a V8 engine is sooner or later going to bite NASCAR right in the ass. If it goes green there most likely will be a whole different crowd in the stands. Also car owners.
@@gregorygolden1296 100% agreed. Can you imagine the Kentucky Derby of auto racing? Sipping mint juleps with the pinky out. The whole nine yards.
I race in the outlaw super late models and if they ever use electric motors I’m quitting on my momma. Electric cars have NO BUSINESS AT ALL in ANY race league
@@bellaxxi4116 FIA World Rallycross already switched unfortunately
Anyone who refers to a 426 Hemi as "compact" has never adjusted the valves on one in a B-body with power brakes.
Lies again? UFC SILAT UEFA SW
Great video….. but they didn’t call the hemi the “elephant” cause it was compact….. lol it was freaking huge!
The Hemi wasn't allowed in 65 because it was not available in production models. In 1966 it was. The Daytona and Super Bird were allowed in 71 but they were restricted to use a 305 cubic inch destroked 340. They actually performed really good on the shorter tracks and road courses were the handling was much better than big block cars. But the Charger and Road Runner body style also changed to some what match the Ford Torino. Some time in the mid 70s Nascar reduce the displacement limit from 429 to 400. Chrysler used the 383 enlarged to 400 cubic inches. No body gives two shits about electric race cars.
You clearly dont enjoy racing then, some of the new electric racecars are fckin incredible, the electric rally and baja cars are insanely fast. Sure the v8 sounds better but you cannot deny the speed these new cars can get to, i think its all good as long as we are racing, regardless of what powers it.
@@jeremysumpter8939 well I'm old school. I'd rather watch Richard Petty and David Pearson duke it out on the last lap of the Daytona 500 in cars that started out on a Detroit assembly line. I'd rather feel right to my core a nitro methane supercharged Hemi in a top fueler or between the frame rails of a pulling truck. Or watch the coal roll out of a 4250 John Deere built in the back corner of a farm shop with money left over after a good year get a full pull at the county.fair. All tuned by guys who can tell by the sound and the vibration wether the tune is right. If I wanted to watch electric cars I'd buy a slot track.
I had electric race cars when I was little, they were slot cars
@@Colt-tf6xf and now they make 800 volt 1500 hp 2000 ft lb torque awd race cars and one that makes its own downforce from the start going 0 to 60 in 1 second
After several years of futzing around with engine rules, NASCAR in 1975 decided on a 358 CID engine displacement, not 400 inches. This CID rule is still in effect today.
It’s was nice when manufacturers actually mattered in stock car racing.
They should have just made MOPAR pull a U haul to even things up.
Lol. The Ford 427 and 429 went 7-0 in seven seasons against the 426 from 1963 to 1969.
@@Wolfcamp555 Are you talking in Championship standings? Petty won in '64 and '67 for Plymouth, David Pearson in '66 with Dodge. While Joe Weatherly did drive a Mercury in '63, he also drove Pontiac, Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth that season (life of a fill in driver...lol). Also, as stated in another comment, the Hemi didn't run until '66, as Chrysler was using the 426 Wedge engines.
@@NewbombTurk. Ford won manufacturing championships in Nascar from 1963 to 1969 with the 427 and 429 against the hemi.
@@Wolfcamp555 Constructors means little when you throw 20 cars at the series each year. All it means is that Ford was willing to throw more cash in NASCARs direction. The proof is in the fact that there were years they didn't win the drivers champ.

Electric NASCAR? A 500 mile race would take 3 days with 8hr pit stops to recharge.
What's next Hells Angels riding electric Harleys?
Actually, Harley Davidson is embracing the electric mistake, At least that's what they have released on the net.
@@mikeupton5406 'The electric mistake' sums it all perfectly.
Well they would do it like of how formula E does it, they have multiple cars, get out and change to that other vehicle. Which means the whole pit lane has to change for that to happen.
They could put playing cards in the spokes of there electric Harleys " that would make ICE sound 🤣🤣
No one rides Harleys these days except pot-bellied geezers.
Harley would love it they could sell an electric motorcycle to someone under 55.
The 426 hemisphere is not a dohc motor it is a pushrod overhead valve engine
The fact that the Daytona was the first to run a 200 mph lap isn't what banned it
On top of that the Ford Torinos hit 200 a few times the year after the Daytona was banned.
The 426 Hemi was anything but compact.
It was very heavy
If they go electric I'll never watch another race.
Who wants to watch nascar with no noise from the cars? That’s gonna be awkward 😂
Drive what makes you happy man I got no gripe w/electric vehicles.. But I'm totally old school I guess there's just nothing like that sound..
NASCAR was my first love but I have totally moved over to Dirt these days. good ol' American made muscle duking it out until the beer flows!
The way God intended! That's _my_ Saturday night paradise . yea.
Nascar is perpetuating its own demise
lol. no it isn't. quit bitching.
NASCAR not requiring the manufactures to actually sell the cars they race is what killed NASCAR. Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday is what made NASCAR.
Hell no I don't agree! NASCAR will have a mass exodus of fans when they go "green"
Think that's what I was saying.
look at third world countries that have gone green......how they doing? in california the electric co pg&e bought all the solar companies and if you go solar they will only allow you to have 3% off your bill thats it. i see really expensive electricity in the future for everyone. i own a electric hybrid and you have to get a 220v charging station installed for about 2000. then when u plug it in every night its like starting your dryer and going to sleep and turning it off in the morning , 30 days of that and your power bill goes up 400. this is also the same company that shafted me with a 4000 dollar bill for my well thats only 3/4 horse pwr 220 v 3 phase electric motor. 4 gs to cook clean and have a drink . if your smart youll look at california see it for what it is and remember AIDS started here have a nice day.

Haven't watched nascar in ten years or more, been watching and going to NHRA events ever since
I feel the same way. I moved from Florida 15 years ago. I've even been to Daytona. Brainard MN is only a few hours away.
The information is all over the place in this video...talking about the ban of 65 only to jump to 69 Daytona....the Aero cars were only allowed to compete after 70 if they had a 305 cu engine or smaller...
If it is fake noise, no. At that point, just make it silent. Oh wait, half the fun IS the noise...
The noise isn’t fake. A lot of ppl don’t know this for some reason, but the new Charger Daytona uses an acoustic chamber in conjunction with an amplifier to amplify the noises the existing electric motor makes. It’s not just fake and composed or computer generated. It’s real
Bruh if your idea of having fun is making as much noise as possible then you need to find new hobbies
@@mrsoisauce9017 woohoo a straight piped vibrator 🤗
@@mrsoisauce9017 That's interesting and it's noise, but it doesn't feel the same as the sound of a V8...
@@jerbirchall8298 that is true. I do feel like Dodge’s solution is the next best thing we can get in the electric era tho, so I’ll take it, even if it isn’t as good as the sound of a V8 or V12 (I know America generally doesn’t make V12s, especially in NASCAR, but I’m a sucker for Italian and British cars, so I had to throw that one in there lol)
The reversed scooped on the front fenders are not for brake cooling. They are simply there to cover the clearance holes for the tires due to the down force applied by the nose.
Dodge was not actually committed to running a next gen. They toyed with it, but Stellantis president has been pretty vocal about not supporting motorsports on a large scale. Dodge went away on their own after 2012 because of their lack of support for race teams and the costs associated due to that.. so they had no teams go with them in 2013.. this pulling their support. Dodge has consistently chosen, on their own doing, to leave the sport multiple times. It is not just NASCAR. Dodge has had commitment issues across all the motorsports they have been involved in
I can’t stand Stellantis.
Ya the guy needs to be run down with one of those racecars he caused to fail. Cant continue ruining dodge if he's in a wheelchair or dead
you do not actually know what you are talking about here. they were never allowed to bore up a 383 to a 400. stock car as it was called back then systematically. issued ruling after ruling in 1969-1974 that ONLY effected Chrysler . first starting with banning hemi spherical heads, chrysler was the only company that had hemi heads, so chrysler started putting the 440 in the cars. Nascar banned engines over 430 CI. ford was a 429 chevy was a 427 so the only car company effected was Chrysler. Chrysler tried to use the 383 but found it was underpowered for its weight and started loosing. Chrysler started putting the 340 cars out there and found that the 340s weight difference and its MUCH higher rpm made the car competitive by having a higher top end and better handling in the turns but were not dominating. some where in here nascar rulled that only small block engines could be used, that had the ford 351 and the chevy 350 with a 4 inch bore (this is important here so pay attention) the Chrysler 340 had a 4.04 bore. Chrysler starts dominating again. Ford and chevy cry, nascar rules that no engines can have a bore larger then 4.00. This shuts out the 340 which while a smaller engine has a bigger bore size. chrysler tries to use the 360 which has a 4.00 bore but is a truck crank so its slow to rev but has a fairly high rev due to the rocker arm design being the same as the 340. the 360 is winning races but not as much as the 340 and nascar issues the ruling that no engine can be over 355 inches in size which once again targets the chrysler products directly with out effecting anyone else. chrysler protest. tries to put a 318 in the cars and run them but the 318 is just not capable of running with a 351 windsor or a check 350 in a car the size of a roadrunner> Chrysler announces that due to clear and present favoritism by Bill France they will be Leaving Nascar. AT NO TIME WAS THE 340 EVER REDUCED TO 305 INCHS. There was no point in doing that and the 318 being virtually identical to a 340 but having thinner walls and a thinner bore for less weight could be reduced to 305 if they wanted to do such a thing. Chrysler was run out of nascar by BILL FRANCE SR.
@@davidd.1319 Richard Brooks raced a Dodge Charger Daytona powered by a ~305 engine, based on the 340 engine.
@@davidd.1319 So in conclusion, NASCAR hated Chrysler from the start?
NASCAR peaked years ago. It’s possible it may disappear with electric motors being required and other racing venues will take its place at the top.
Is this the latest cleverly disguised robot voice? I can't imagine a human being just regurgitating the typos in the script like this. Bobbic Isaac?
The inference that Bobby Isaac topping 200 mph caused the ban on the hemi is garbage! Yes, at the time they may have had an advantage but that was because of the wing. Fast forward to the Bill Elliott era and you had many cars qualifying at well over 200 at the superspeedways and all was well until the bad wrecks started happening, necessitating restrictor plates.
From the 1964 Daytona race to the ban in the 70s, this was the engine to beat in NASCAR regardless of the 1969 and 1970 wing cars. NASCAR and NHRA went out of their way to make the ford and chevy crowd happy because their fan base is larger$$. Even today NHRA allow chevy and ford funny dragster racers to use Chrysler style Hemis but can't call them Hemis because it's trademarked. Its all politics and money
When I heard that, the rest of the video sort of lost all credibility with me
Bobby Isaac was the first person to beat 200 mph on a Nascar track. That is not up for dispute and it took the hemi to do it. The 440 with a wing was not hitting 200 more like high 180-low 190s
@@davidd.1319 Actually, champ, Buddy Baker, in a Dodge Daytona Charger, was the first.
@sludge8506 champ? You must have seen my fights? But ummm where did I say something about the first 200 mph driver?
Why show all those Fords while talking about the hemi?
NASCAR goes green. I will start watching drag racing not nascar
I mean. That's going to go electric as well
NHRA is trying to go green as well
This is what the whole world wants not me
@@johnrau2873 'The whole world' doesn't have the natural resources to populate every household with an electric vehicle, any more than they did when IC vehicles were first invented. The great frikkin big difference is, [with current technology] there's not enough natural resources OR enough manufacturing capabilities to put an electric in every driveway and even if there were, the cost in carbon emissions is light-years greater than everything that's been expended up to now, to build the current infrastructure.
Education is a terrible thing to waste.

There is going to come a time no more gas vehicles or the insurance and state inspection will get greedy and keeping your vehicles on the road will expensive
Or gas will not be made

Drag racing will go electric before stock cars or endurance racing.
I never understood how nascar went from making faster and faster cars to regulating and banning cars that are better
So, the banning started in the mid sixties, champ.
@@sludge8506 okay and?
Be nice if you knew what you were talking about ...426 hemi is anything but compact in size . The daytona was superceded by the superbird before 71. .they forced chrydler to run small block 305 ci and the were actually winning when they got crashed out of the race
In the 60s the hemi was nicknamed the "elephant motor'. it was not small.

can you english?
If racing goes full electric it won’t be as fun to watch
Can't tell one car from the other now in nascorp.. so the tv can just put in canned exhaust to please the dummy fans
or put cards in the 20" covered wagon wheel spokes to make a cool 'engine 'sound.
the 426 wasn't called the elephant because it was compact

There weren't ANY Stock Car Truck races back in the 1960s.
No way. Save the EV's for the golf course.
wait the DOHC hemi was made in 69-71ish and there were only 2. at least for what i have read anyway
The final nail in the nascar coffin
There is no such thing as a four door Charger. Yeah it's a nice looking car but they should have called it something else because a four door charger is like having a four door Mustang or Four door Camaro or Vette. My dad had a 69 Charger with a 383 mag and I owned a 71 charger and a 73 Charger. It's an insult to call a 4 door car a charger or even worse and electric one. This Green crap has gotten completely out of hand they are literally putting the cart before the house. It will be 20 to 30 years before they work out all the kinks in these electric cars. Biden shuts down 90% of the oil companies in the U.S.A. that had to abide by the most restrictive and clean ways of getting it and producing it to then buy it from other countries that don't have the same rules to follow about getting the oil as cleanly as possible as the U.S. did and begs them to ramp up production then they have to use super tankers that burn over 200 gallons of fuel an hour to even get it to the U.S.A. making even a bigger footprint than if we just continued to pump it cleanly. Plus, all the different minerals needed to make these new car batteries have to be STRIP MINED destroying huge sections of the earth. digging holes that in some cases are over a mile across so big you can see them from space and the land will never recover. Yet. the left thinks that's better than a oil pump in a grass field with cattle peacefully grazing around it. They are literally destroying many 3rd. world countries lands to dig out these minerals. Then once the batteries are dead they have to dig a hole and bury them because they are so dangerous and toxic for hundreds of years afterwards. Plus, these new electric car have been just catching fire in people's garages and burning their houses down. The same house that you can no longer heat because the power plants can't supply enough power to heat your home and charge your car. The don't charge in freezing weather either so you are without a car when the temps drop. Plus who wants to be riding around sitting on top of a bunch of batteries that sometimes just catch on fire for no reason. Ever see a cell phone battery blow up in someone pocket? Just think what a car sized battery will do. What about when it rains and the streets flood you can't just drive through the deep puddles like you can with your normal car you will fry it and probably yourself and family too. Plus, the Power plants that make the electricity run on coal or some other type of fossil fuel. The hole thing is a joke. We are now causing ten times the amount of carbon by not making it in the U.S.A. where we have to do it cleanly and buying it from a 3rd. world country than ship it here. Those ships can also make huge oil spills and destroy tons of marine and wildlife. Plus, all the American oil workers no longer have jobs to support their families but at least Russian citizens and many other countries citizens are working and can feed their families thanks to biden giving them our jobs. We used to be energy independent and wwe used to be a large energy exporter too now we are a joke to the rest of the world an biden has to beg OPEC to produce more oil. He also has been giving away and even sold 8 million barrels of our emergency oil reserve to CHINA. Oil that is set aside to fuel our military in the event America is ever attacked and to weaken our country even further biden is giving away billions of dollars worth our modern weapons and equipment First to our enemy the Taliban so they can have modern weapons to use against our troops and now to the Ukraine. He has given away so many of our tanks and other military vehicles that many of or troops no longer have enough tanks and stuff left to be deployed if we needed them,. That should scare the hell out of everybody. Giving our stuff away to the Taliban our enemy is literally TREASON . Plus, it wouldn't surprise me if Putin and the Ukraine are working together. The Ukraine builds many of Russia aircraft and naval ships. They could be getting all these countries to send all their modern military weapons and vehicles to the ukraine to replace all of their old outdated crap with our newest weapon systems. Then they will have all the new modern stuff they need while depleting all their enemies countries of their modern weapons. It's actually a brilliant idea. We have all seen how out of date all of Russia's weapons are. Plus, do you really think that the Ukraine would even give us a single dime if America was under attack or needed help? Not to mention the millions of dollars that Biden keep forking over to them and to Iran and many other countries that hate America. WHY?? What About the American TAXPAYERS when is biden going to help us? They are all criminals very very rich criminals that keep getting millions richer by the day as American citizens struggle to even put food on their table or fuel in their cars. Even if the jobs magically return now that we have millions on illegals waltzing across our border everyday where are they going to work? How are they going to find a home and feed their families? Crime is just going to keep skyrocketing just wait until they realize there aren't enough jobs and have to resort to stealing to feed themselves and their families and become desperate. The White House is now known as BOZOS BIG TOP AND FREAK SHOW to the rest of the world. But what did they expect when they installed Americas Biggest racist who once claimed blacks are an inferior race will fighting alongside his ex klan leader hero for Segregation in the 1970's. Back then we had Journalist on the nightly news who use to call him out for his disturbing remarks. Now they sweep them under the rug and hope people are to lazy to look up any of bidens old TV new footage. Now they protect POGO the democrat Clown N Chief. Only this POGO the clown likes little girls in the basement instead of young construction workers under his crawl space.
Bidens lumpy pants pissers are the worst morons on the planet 🙄.
Amen brother
HELL NO I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE ELECTRIFICATION OF RACE CARS. THE ROAR OF THE ENGINE IS WHAT MAKES THE RACE.
Engine sounds are so much better for racing than electric motors. You can hear and feel the speed and power! Similar thing with traditional multi-gear transmissions (Multiple forward gears). Shifting gears is just as big a part of the experience for me as the engine sound. Without the sound or gearshifts, driving just won't feel the same 😞

The words electric and horsepower go together as well as oil and water. I would have never thought that manufacturers would measure power by electricity. Sad day for real muscle cars, classic and modern. And I see nascar losing more fans than they already have by using electric and hybrid cars in the future.
Hybrids don't seem to be hurting WRC. NASCAR will probably go the hybrid route soon and no one will care because all they'll hear is the V8.
Hey just wanted to let you know I got a double ad at the beginning of the video and noticed that you only have 401 subscribers. I know that RUclips only lets you monetize your stuff if you’re above 1000 subs so if you don’t see a dime from this video they’re totally ripping you off. Just wanted to let you know because you deserve to make something off this video, especially if they’re gonna run ads off of it without your knowledge.
Dodge should use these facts as advertising
Nazzzzcar lol the way he says it cracks me up
Guess ford got tired of being last on race day 🤣🤣
Banned for being too fast? WTF? I thought the idea was to WIN races. You gotta be fast to win.
The EV was actually produced before the internal combustion engine! The reason the gas powered engine became industry standard and the EV just kinda fell to the wayside, was due completely to the fact that the EV wasn’t worth a fuck. Really it still isn’t. The manufacturing process is extremely toxic and the cars/trucks have no notable range or tow distance. And the tow bill is extremely high if you can find a towing company capable due to its excessive weight and potential fire risk once placed on the yard after the crash
I'm so ashamed of dodge giving up on fuel powered vehicles. Seems now Toyota are the new rebels
Politics is why toyota SEEMS to do well
You'll be able to buy the whole company in a few years with the change in your coin jar
@@GrayD1ce that would be cool
They all have to by 2035. All new vehicles have to be emissions free by then. Dodge has nothing to prove anymore. They have dominated every motorsport they competed in at one time or another and still own the premier top fuel NHRA classes. And are still...for now...king of the street muscle car wise. The Hemi engine is becoming outdated in its current form, plus a gas hog and emissions nightmare, and Dodge realizes it would be foolish to spend the money doing that now with such a short time left for ICEs. It's business common sense. So better buy that Challenger or Charger now.
@@bultacowally Toyota isn't going full electric. They are planning on furthering hybrid technology. I can't believe that Toyota is the rebel now.

'Woke' has become slang for 'stuff I don't like'. 😂
Although the wing cars did dominate in speed, they actually won few races. Out of fifty-four races in 1969 and forty-eight races in 1970, the 1969 Dodge Daytona won two races in 1969 and another four in 1970, for a total of six. Its successor, the 1970 Plymouth Superbird, won eight races - all in 1970.
They dominated on the superspeedways but were to big for shorter tracks and could not build enough speed for the wings to help...
Timothy Harrison, FALSE. Ford aero cars won more races than the MOPAR aero cars in NASCAR.
The car is worth more than a 110,000 dollars My friend Have a Plymouth Superbird And they estimated at half a million dollars Is four forty six back
2:12- 4 valve cylinder head shown while talking about the first Hemi.

Yikes.
NASCAR banned all aero cars after 1971 season, NOT just MOPAR.
And ALL the big blocks, too.
When electric cars enter the Nascar Tracks that will be the end of Nascar for me and many others and we will sing the song="The Day that Nascar Died"~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RIP
Nascar probably won’t miss the ancient armchair warriors that promise to never watch a race again.
That’s a fact, Jack.
How can you discuss NASCAR and Dodge/Plymouth using Number 43 and fail to mention Richard Petty?
Because just like the NHRA, they've always targeted MOPAR.
They do know that electrics are not the way forward
1964 stock car truck races? Last i heard the truck series started in the 1990's not the 1960's and no truck has ever run a hemi in Nascar. Dude, you can even wiki this and do better
Anyone else click on this hoping to get some actual 2024 news?
Wasn’t it bad enough that NASCAR killed off the old smaller race tracks to expand to areas that never had NASCAR racing?
Allowing GM to run the Monte Carlo and Pontiac with the aquarium rear window when you couldn’t purchase one as a street legal car. Ford with the Taurus and now a Nascar Mustang? There’s nothing stock about any of these cars.
NASCAR wants asses in the mega buck seats not the infield where the real fans gathered. The crappy TV contracts where half way through the season, if you didn’t have cable, you didn’t see race.
NASCAR is dying a slow self inflicted death.
For ‘86 and ‘87, GM did sell a limited number of Aerocoupes. That square-roofed G-body had the aero of a brick, and GM had to do something back in the day when homologation was still a thing - the Ford T-bird of the day was a slick little car …
“Chevrolet only made the Aerocoupe for the 1986 and 1987 model years, 200 were made for 86 - the exact number needed for homologation, and 6,052 were made in 1987 due to the rising popularity of the model. Over 574,000 examples of the Monte Carlo SS were made, so the Aerocoupe is a significant rarity in comparison.”
Stock car racing hasn't been about 'stock' cars since the mid-60s. They were silhouette cars all throughout NASCAR's glory days.
The ford usually out ran the mopars even with there nose cone and wing's. A look back at the record book show's that. Chrysler could not give those car's away when they came out. Most of them over heated due to the nose and every one thought they were ugly like most mopars of that era. Now people go crazy over them and other old chryslers because of the hemi. Ford had a aero torino on it's way also so nascar banned both not just the superbird. There were only 5 aero talladega Torino's made with Bud Moore having one but they were cancelled by nascar before they could hit the track. Nascar diden't want missles replacing cars so thats why they canceled the cars.
Gas is what charges them so we will technically use more gas let's go to all gas
Why not just go all the way and cut grooves in the tracks with copper on each side and turn it into a giant slot track! ARRRRGGHHH! That seems to be where it's headed anyway!
Someone send me an electric turbo...
😌 Please
It was the first real and first super car.
What?… the “brake cooling” ducts on the fenders were for aerodynamic purposes, it allowed air to escape from the wheel well of the car out the top and reduce lift at high speed, literally try to learn something before spreading false assumptions to others that won’t know any better.
426 compact size!?
Yeah you know that's why they called it the elephant due to it's small size. LOL
Compact if compared to a 3408 CAT diesel
GM seems to own nascar.
Talking about Buddy Baker and showing his Photo. But that's Fake Yarboroughs Car # 28
Also lol at the morons paying 100k for a 30 year old Mercedes chassis.
Electric car nascar lol I’m sure that’ll help them come back, at least we got old races here on RUclips
Did he just say 1964 NASCAR truck series? 2:44
Yes, he did.
Long story short The Daytona soared over 200 mph and was no longer allowed to compete in NASCAR event racing.
So did Bill Elliot's Ford Thunderbird almost 20 years later..
No, the wing was outlawed, and the hemi was disallowed, Dodge wasn’t
Your facts are wrong, champ.
No I think they are making a huge mistake. Batteries are for flashlights not cars
I bet you are an old man. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
That is so stupid that they did it for so fast isn’t that the entire point of races?? Like what
they couldn't dumb it down enough to compete with the other slower cars?
Political pressure to change the Nascar circuit in my opinion is going to end the sport.
I'm not sure nascar nexus is actually familiar with automotive history. You talk about the hemi while showing a galaxie and a gt40. Or talk about sports car racing while showing a dragstrip. There are many other odd things like this throughout this video. I'm not dogging on it, much. And I generally enjoyed it. But c'mon man.
No one should listen past the 426 being called compact.
If Nascar goes electric then it will be the end of Nascar
426 hemi compact size 😂😂😂
No, I want an old and original Chrysler automobile back and motor to 😢
NASCAR will have to ban all hybrid race cars as they will be too fast
0:31 so funny story my friend actually owns the real buddy baker car
Compact size….huh
If nascar goes electric its over for nascar
