    I was only able to attend one race,but what an exciting one it was! My good friend & I were big #21 Pearson fans. We drove from IN up to MI in '76,watched him dominate the race & win it! That Boss 429 had sound all of it's own! It was such a thrill to see him come down the front stretch & throw his hand up & wave at us,every few laps! A memory I'll treasure the rest of my life! RIP to one of the greatest stock car drivers of all time & now unfortunately RIP to 2 of the great car owners,The Wood Brothers!❤ I never got the chance to go to that great museum, but thanks to you I got to see some of it! Loved the #28 & #7,too! It's such a shame Alan didn't get to enjoy his championship longer than he did. Davey definitely would of been one,had he not been taken at such a young age! Until I watched that documentary about him,I never realized his vital organs prolonged the lives of those 4 people!❤

Got to drink with and tour Ron Hornidays house after he saw us kids next door having a good time he invited us over. Got to go inside the old DEI and sit in all of Jrs old cars that they have closed off to the public and even remember running into Dale Sr. when he was still around. Cool experiences and glad to see there's still people like you out there that respect the sport.

Jeff’s final win and Harvicks 500 car are must sees too for me. Also the Hendrick shop is only a couple miles from the hall of fame, there are more trophies there, New and old, as well as viewing areas for all the Hendrick paint schemes for the upcoming race. Plus that’s where Jr’s 500 car from 2014 is located, as well as other iconic Hendrick cars

We have the Anatomy of a Stock Car, and you can see how the car is built! And in the back of the Hall where that car was for Inspection is now a hands on touch screen tours of ALL THE TRACKS in the world!! Trust me....

    Thank you for this. Some comments:
    Wish you would have shown the Orange Coupe up close. Modifieds were NASCAR's first division in 1948. Many of it's top drivers became the first stars of Pure Stock late models in their 1949 innaugural season. Red Byron was first champion of both.
    The interior of Richard Petty's 1964 car is the way it was done then. Though they each year were evolving away from pure stock, the cars still had their "ties" to the production car world. That included things like roll up windows, ignition keys and gas caps.
    Most people don't know that Roger Penske as a driver won a NASCAR West race at Riverside. Their western division in those days ran the same rules, including engine size, of what was then called Grand National.
    And it does my heart good to see Lightning McQueen. I knew the late, celebrated automotive cartoonist Dave Deal who did the cars for Pixar. He would have been tickled to see that.
    Thanks again.

    I attended the induction ceremony in 2019 and went to the HOF the next day. I pretty much had the same reaction Eric did to seeing all of the cars in the Hall of Honor (especially Jeff's!). Going to the HOF is a must for all NASCAR fans and, while you're in Charlotte, make sure to hit up the race shops.

    So, Smirnoff Ice was the sponsor that was blurred out of NASCAR 2005. Been wondering. Thanks for showing that close up shot.

      Its a temporary one, they use that space as a revolving exhibit as well as a place for unveils. I saw Matts Tide car get unveiled there got his, Joe Gibbs, and Ricky Rudd's autograph.
