This is a reupload of a video that was originally uploaded in 2020. However It got 4 separate copyright claims across a week in early December. Not knowing what was going on, and knowing that disputes rarely go the creator’s way, I decided to trim out those segments and take the video down. Then I received 4 more copyright claims across 3 other videos. Other NASCAR CZcamsrs had similar problems recently and they told me to just dispute the claims and they will all be dropped. Because of NASCAR Classics going live, the content ID bots are automatically claiming some footage. On twitter, reps from NASCAR Media group stated that they’re working to resolve the issues and it may take a while to release all the claims during the holidays, but have patience and just dispute any claims. But by the time I realized what was going on, this video had already had nearly 3 minutes claimed and had been irreversibly trimmed, so here’s the reupload.
tl;dr - It’s not NASCAR’s fault that a lot of stuff is getting claimed, it’s a combo of NASCAR Classics’ library and content ID bots trying to protect copyrights. They plan on releasing all claims asap, and any further claims will just be disputed and I should be fine.
NASCAR has raced at hundreds of tracks over the decades. Some where ultra-modern state of the art facilities and others where simple dirt tracks carved into the country side. But regardless of the money spent on these tracks, most did their duty and put on a great show without any major issues. However a few live on in infamy as snoozefests, dangerous venues, dumps, or in some cases all of the above. So let's find out which tracks are the absolute worst that have ever appeared on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule.

Goddammit, CZcams's copyright system to letting some (minus NASCAR) and even themselves got away...
Im going to replaying the video from start to finish as much as possible so it reaches more views and retention than the video YT took away....
Props to nascar coming out immediately and saying it was their fault
Not a surprise, youtube bots are even tagging quake 2 gameplay video soundtracks
W on NASCAR’s on immediately acknowledging this issue and working with content creators to fix this
Watching this in 2023, after North Wilkesboro took the All Star race away from Texas is a sort of carthisis I needed.
Texas was the more entertaining race though lmaoo
@@The_RC_Enthusiast not the point. It's more about the fact that North Wilkesboro rose from the grave and took a race away from Texas than the entertainment of the race itself. Obviously, I want the racing to be better, but being on the schedule is the first puzzle piece.
@@The_RC_EnthusiastBro what
No one is wanting to watch a shitshow for 3 hours honestly
@@Kmartisyoursaving it’s not even an entertaining chaotic shitshow, even with with the 670hp package they still do a boring choo choo the entire time
Lee Petty taking the red flag for himself is the most badass thing I’ve heard in a long time
And dangerous. I'm surprised he didn't get hit. But badass nonetheless.
Yes, though stupidly dangerous
Texas is also infamous for the cancellation of the first CART race because the G-forces the drivers were experiencing were causing them to nearly black out. The race was cancelled the morning that the race was scheduled, but CART had no choice in the matter other than to let the drivers go out and probably die.
Awful to hear that the original video ended up getting copyrighted. I hope you have a great Christmas Slap, you make some of the best NASCAR content
Texas World Speedway has mostly been flattened out and turned into a huge neighborhood. I think the only thing left is some of the hill that the grandstands sat on.
A few years before they closed, they'd open the gates every Friday evening and let people drag race down pit lane with whatever they wanted.
Talladega still remains my favourite and I love how you put it both here and on your greatest tracks list. This is a track that will forever be talked about and forever be a staple in NASCAR.
I'd argue that Daytona is more dangerous. Talladega has wider track than Daytona, and fewer fatalities.
But this is partly based on my experience with racing on the tracks in NASCAR games.
@@cancercentral9997
Well... the driver, who introduced me to oval racing, died in Vegas. In the worst motorsport crash I have seen. So... basically every track might become dangerous. Especially if you race for 5 million dollars.
Unbelievable to discover there was a track practically in my backyard in Islip! Getting to Maine would have been a breeze-no need to worry about traffic. With two ferries available, and even if you decided to cross the border into NYC, the bridges up north in my old neighborhood were rarely crowded. I vividly remember the view of the bridge from my grammar school; as a little kid, I felt like the only race fan in NYC. Imagine seeing a racing team cross that bridge back then-I would've exploded with excitement!
They also ran Cup races at the Bridgehampton road course
Thanks for another year of quality racing content man, your short track vids really got me back into the sport.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, see ya'll in 2024.
Even though this is a reupload, considering all the new tracks that have been added to the schedule, this needs a remake!
Merry Christmas, Slapshoes. Looking forward to more great content in 2024.
Slapshoes:uploads video from 2020
CZcams police: were gonna copyright this video and your gonna have to upload it again
I'm sorry that the Copyright karens are going after you. Either way, happy Early Merry Christmas S1apSh0es!
It wasnt on purpose, NASCAR is uploading alot of stuff and the CZcams bots went awol enforcing copyright before NASCAR could do anything.
@@Dominion69420Nascar can't do anything right
@@Dominion69420 Yes I second as NASCAR people were not an issue. Who was an issue was ether CZcams or NASCAR's Classics bots one of 2 was the issue or possibly both.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Fun fact about Laguna Seca, at the main entrance off Highway 68 when you first pull in you turn right to go to the racetrack, if you follow the path to the left it takes you to the Laguna Seca gun range.
USA USA USA
Merry Christmas S1ap, always good to rewatch a classic solid vid on your channel
This guy deserves his own Netflix show with how interesting his content is
More people use CZcams than Netflix though.
@@samuelgarrod8327he’d get paid more doing it for Netflix. He deserves it fr. Love all of his content
Damn, sorry about the copyright issues, Mr. S1ap
But I hope you have a great Christmas, you are my favorite NASCAR CZcamsr and I hope you can keep making these great videos in '24
As a rally fan, I respect and love the work you do. It's an "in" i wouldn't otherwise have. Also, Merry Christmas!
I was sure that I'd seen a video with this title already, but I clicked anyway because, hey, Slapshoes top ten video, let's do it! Having read your description, I'm very glad to see that NASCAR is working with you and the rest of the fanbase on this issue. I hope everything goes well!
Great voice, amazing story telling and A+ production. Came here and subbed because of the non-Nascar videos. You clearly have the research skills to branch out if you want to. But you made me, a French-Canadian, want to visit want to visit stock car tracks around US which is a feat in itself.
You mention Islip Speedway, it may have been extraordinarily small for American standards but here in the UK a fifth of a mile is the average length of our stock car tracks.
The youtube copyright involving Nascar has been awful recently damn
The worst part is that it's not even NASCAR's fault. NASCAR Classics uploads their entire race library (for free which is awesome) and the content ID bots swoop in and try to protect NASCAR's content, erroneously bopping dozens of creators in the crossfire.
@@S1apShoes They really need to fix the issues with those bots
so nice you gotta watch it twice
thanks nascar
Oh hey a re-upload!
Read the description to see why he did it
@@meithe1st I saw
Gotta get that Christmas money somehow
@@DirtTrackRacing410 W
man youtube copyright is a major L… glad nascar media is fixing it…
also will the original video be reuploaded if and when this all gets fixed?
No, I just needed to change some B-roll for a dozen seconds here and there. It's crazy how little the video has changed just to bypass the content ID bots.
We miss islip, but it is nice seeing riverhead repainted to match towards the end of the season for the annual Islip 300
I'm still saddened to see Kentucky Speedway not be on the schedule. I went to the 2015 and 2016 Cup Series races.
I have a feeling of Deja-vu 🤔
Merry Christmas S1ap. Glad to see this back. Excited to see what you have in store in 2024.
Merry Christmas Slap, thank you for what you do!
S1ap, I love the videos you do on NASCAR.
Would you ever do a video on the other NASCAR series internationally?
I've been thinking about covering all the other divisions in NASCAR history, including the international series.
@@S1apShoes
Thank you and Merry Christmas 🙏
@@S1apShoes i'd 100% watch that, I personally reckon it'd be super interesting to learn about the lower divisions/feeder series.
What we needed was a Texas world track with Texas motor speedway amenities
The guy who ran a Formula Vee team I drove for actually won an SCCA FV event at Texas World Speedway. Did it while 3rd gear was dead too! He just stuck it in 4th and put his head down, it was a pretty cool story.
I don't know anything about NASCAR and have never been interested in it, but you do these videos so well I really enjoy them anyway. I do have a question though. Where in Maine did NASCAR race? I knew they race in New Hampshire, but I didn't know they raced in Maine. I only know a few places where there are tracks here (from like 1990 to today) and they are all very small.
Oxford Speedway held a lot of races in NASCAR first 25 years and continues to be a stronghold for the modifieds today. I want to make my way up there one day.
@S1apShoes Holy cow. Wow that's freaking cool. Oxford Speedway is pretty far from where I live, so I've never actually been there. I did know they do a lot of other kinds of racing there, and a lot closer to where I live there is (was?) Speedway 95 and Unity Raceway. Unity ended up closed and is trying to come back from the dead right now. I think the track was placed at Unity but it was abandoned for like 15 years. I think they tore up the asphalt and it's a dirt track now. It's still really run down. I also know Wiscasset Raceway has a bunch of stuff going on there. I went to school with a kid whose family were heavily involved in racing at Wiscasset. It's pretty cool to hear that they raced at Oxford though.
Unity has come back as a dirt track
And Oxford is mostly a super late model track, the only modifiex race there is a Saturday mid card race the day before the famous Oxford 250
Glad to watch it again. Always the best content! Merry Christmas
I was wondering if Langhorne was going to make the list. Its a couple miles away from where I live. Great video! Merry Christmas and happy new year!
10:08 Eliphas' laughter from Dawn of War 2 is not what I expected today on one of your videos
I just watched the best tracks video this morning and wondered if you had ever made a worst tracks one because I couldn't find it, guess it's my lucky day. Shame this stuff with the ID bots even has to happen tho, hopefully it gets resolved.
I was excited you posted!
Then knowing why made me upset. I hope this gets fixed soon because amazing NASCAR content creators like you trying to grow the sport online are suffering for no reason
Happy to see the video reuploaded! Sucks that it got so many strikes.
Well I have an unfortunate name...
Honestly, a lot of the issues about Talladega can also be said about Daytona, especially since Daytona has a higher body count than Dega. I know the 1969 controversy of Dega is REALLY bad, but I feel the safety issues are a bit overblown and more of a cause of the time period than anything else (and once again ditto that for Daytona too).
Man, sitting here in the dark watching this, I wasn’t prepared for that Evil Bruton Smith moment
With the first upload of this video that had part of the Talladega section cut out I thought that was just a joke about how it goes over it’s tv runtime so often 😂😂😂
Bro thought it was a joke for 4 years
@@satolatifi24 yeah lol
My grandfather was badly burned at a champ car race at Langhorn in '65. It didn't take long for him to get back to winning in the Midgets, though!
Merry Christmas S1lapShoes! Have an aweome day tommorow and an fantastic New Year! See you in 2024 for more epic content!
Sad that you had to reupload this, it had about 1.7 million views
Finally, another reason to rewatch this video again
Merry Christmas S1ap🤘🏻
Slap yo self shoes! I grew up a bicycle ride north of Islip "Speedway". I'd watch the Nascar and Can-Am races on television and get to hear the roar of engines Friday thru Sunday.
My hobby was 1/32 scale slot car racing. I loved ice hockey, astronauts and their missions and motorsport.
I think these needs an update after 2024 since the major schedule changes between 2020-2024. Such as dirt, street courses, bull rings, and just new tracks in general.
despite it being a reupload, i feel like texas needs to be higher on the list, considering how they ruined the all star race a year or so after the original upload
I was at the 2011 Cup race at Kentucky, I remember being stuck in traffic so bad people were outside their cars conversing with one another and using the restroom in the woods. We didn’t get in until Lap 120 something of 267. I was 10 years old at the time and my mom had taken me for my birthday- good times
You gotta make a video about the copyright bullshit going on, i know other people have but you have a way bigger following than the people that ive seen talk about it
I mean the description makes it pretty clear what’s going on
I like the Dawn of War evil laughter by Bruton Smith at 10:50
I've watched different forms of racing for years if I moved somewhere with a race site right next door I would get a clause in for free race tickets for life and go and see racing I may have never seen before. Leverage it to my benefit so free tickets and probably pit passes for a closer look at the cars
that makes sense because before seeing the upload date all I could think is "yt buggin Ive both watched and liked this shit before" turns out they're only slightly less buggy than I thought right there, I mean they still take away likes Ive given to videos years ago anyways so it's not like I was out of nowhere to think that. youtube's too much nowadays
I’m so glad you put Talladega on the list. I know some fans enjoy the wrecks but they always make me uncomfortable, probably cause I’ve seen quite a few drivers in NASCAR, F1, and Indy car die most notably Dale Earnhardt Sr. So Talladega being always marketed for its big one wrecks really is disturbing to me.
The Chicago street course.
The Chicago street course.
The Chicago street course.
Oh yeah, the Chicago street course.
It does rather bite the big one.
Me and my dad went to that race in 2011 at Kentucky and we had a hotel less than an hour from the track and it took almost 5 hours to get there. got to see about half the race lol.
I went in 2016 and 2019, two of the best finishes in races those 2 years I went. The 2016 race was the infamous Brad K Carl Edwards fuel mileage win and 2019 was the Busch Brothers show:
Hope this catches fire 🔥 merry Christmas slap
Merry Christmas Eve SlAp
Even if this is a re-upload im still going to watch it, mainly because i never watched the original
I live in Raleigh and I had no idea we had a track lol
I was wondering if you were going to get to Langhorne. It made number one. Good list.
I knew Langhorne would be number 1 lol. As soon as I saw the title I was like... Langhorne.
Like... seriously.. a literal circle for a track?
Merry Christmas S1apSh0es.
4:17 hey I remember being stuck in jams like that every race Sunday in Rockingham growing up 😂 💀
Well DERN SORRY I missed it the first time. Still another GREAT Slap Vid 🏆🏆
It was only a Busch series track for few years but is there any way you could make mention of the Pikes Peak International Raceway (PPIR)
I would say the one thing that will keep TMS on the schedule for as long as possible is NASCAR will likely do everything they can to stay in a top 5 media market. Yes, they took California/Fontana off the schedule, but the fact that they ran a race at the LA Coliseum this year tells me they still want the LA market as well. See also how they took Chicagoland off only to add the Chicago street race and giving it the July 4 weekend date, taking that away from Daytona. It's similar to why people are telling me the NBA will not let the Dallas Mavericks leave town despite their new owners planning certain demands for a new building that I doubt the state will allow.
Hell let’s watch it again!
I go to school like a mile from Daytona international speedway, you can literally hear the cars from your house, it’s cool as long as you’re not trying to sleep 😂
Happy Holidays Everyone!
Re-upload? Guess I'll watch it for the 5th time:)
I just realized I work a mile from airbase speedway lol
Honestly surprised Texas isn’t higher. Indycar had issues with drivers passing out from G-Forces one year then had rain cause race to be split and have second half ran 2 months later. And then there’s the reconfiguration
When you say copyright claimed, are they blocking the video outright or just demonetising it?
The worst thing that EVER happened at Talledega was Davey Allison crashing his helicopter there. RIP #28FOREVER !
Man as a okie I wish we had a nascar track short track intermediate super speedway I wouldn’t care just pls come back to Oklahoma
Hey Slapshoes, I believe you got Tulsa Speedway and State Fair Speedway in Oklahoma City turned around. Tulsa Speedway shut down in 2005 and the State Fair Speedway shut down in 2009, with that being said i wish you would do a video about the State Fair Speedway
Merry Christmas, SlapShoes.
17:10
Is that what Dale's Amp Energy car was based on?
You should make a video about the goodyear 500
Merry Chrysler
S1ap is getting oppressed by CZcams #istandwithslap
Merry Christmas
14:27 Thank you, Ken Squier!
Still waiting on that Yellow Line Rule video, my god, I have never seen a rule so inconstantly enforced as that.
Rip, false alarm it was a reupload
5:15 RIP Bandimere Speedway, Colorado
Texas is so much better as an IndyCar track.
Though, the danger is imminent. And Kenny Brack might disagree, lol.
as soon as he got done with the intro i was like "taladaga is gonna be on this list
I grew up going to figure 8 races at Bithlo Speedway, just outside of Orlando, and I always just assumed that they originated in Florida (makes sense, right?).
Genuine question; As Langhorne Speedway is one continuous corner, what do you call the "turns"? Americans have a habit for calling 1 corner "turn 1 & turn 2" or "turn 3 & turn 4". Would this track just be "turn 1" would it be turn 1 to halfway and then turn 2 to the line? would it be 4 turns like everywhere else? 360 turns? As you don't seem to need a corner to start and end to give it a different name (or just number) I'm genuinely intrigued
Quite Unfortunate that your video was copyright claimed,
I’ve already watched the og version but I figured a rewatch was in order since CZcams screwed ya
merry chrysler s1ap
Merry Christmas guys
Darn copyright strikes
