Just remember when you're watching an Xfinity snoozefest race at Texas, Chicago, Vegas, Kentucky and the rest, tracks like Hickory used to host races |

Why would you even watch a Xfinity race? |

That was a good battle for the '88 Southern 500 between Bill and Rusty. Never knew Rusty was that close to winning at Darlington, a track he never did win at. |

Nice channel. One of those videos is the 1991 Winston Legends Race which I have always heard was quite something. |

Car & Track broadcast (SPEED re-air) of the 1974 NASCAR Modified race at the Daytona Road Course. Several big names in the field including Bobby Allison, Tiny Lund, Richie Evans, Maynard Troyer & Paul Newman. Footage of the 1967 USAC Stock Car race at the IRP road course (that pit road is insane  ) |

There's some more footage of the USAC stockers at IRP here, this time from 1965 (complete with Petty, Pearson, Isaac and Goldsmith, plus a glimpse of Dick Passwater  in a Studebaker). Interestingly, they're heading in the opposite direction to the 1967 footage:https://www.wpafilmlibrary.com/videos/139276 And some footage of from the stock car division at the Pikes Peak Hillclimb in 1966 (is that still a thing?) http://www.gettyimages.dk/detail/video/stock-car-racer-nick-sanborn-races-up-pikes-peak-in-a-news-footage/168948372 |

I meant the stock car division, not the event itself lol. I am aware that it still exists (and that it got paved over) |

Sometime during this decade. If I remember correctly, the Sierra Club sued, contending that runoff from vehicles was able to get into the water easier, or something to that effect. |

No designated class for stock cars currently. 2012 was the last year of the "Super Stock Car" class according to the PPIHC website. I would assume current & historic circle-track style cars would be legal for one of the various open classes still though. |

This is an interesting one, Richard Petty and Bobby Allison in Chevy late models in a Canadian series race at Mosport in 1974 (Benny Parsons took part later in the year as well): http://imagefactormedia.com/ontariooval/memory-lane-allison-vs-petty-at-mosport/ |
