Critiquing Every NASCAR Cup Series Track - SECRETS of the BLACKTOP
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 02. 2019
- When you think of large American stadiums, you might visualize the big house, or the coliseum in LA.
But in Nascar, there are huge grandstands that dwarf many a football stadium in seating.
Granted, a motorsports track is much bigger than any playing surface for human only games, but on race day these huge stadia are filled with people who want to see fuel get burned, a close finish and some intense carnage on the blacktop.
And today we’re going to take a look at every one of these venues and let out some boogety boogety boogeties.
Critiquing Every NASCAR CUP Series track is coming up, right after this. Can we get 10000000 likes?

A fun fact about pocono is they have the worlds longest bathroom
They had troughs to piss in at Martinsville at the last race I attended. I think it was 2009 or something.
I’ve been in that Pocono Bathroom!
@@ath85 that has not changed
I’ve been in those bathrooms and they’re huge
ath85 troughs are everywhere. My state fair has troughs. It would be more unique if it didn’t have troughs
“Daytona has a full international airport right next to it, bet ya didn’t know that”
Me, an Embry-Riddle grad: don’t worry. The airport is well aware of where it is.
In ERAU now
Been following NASCAR since late 60s. Never even heard of Daytona until today
@@kdwaynec Do you mean the track or the airport? The track has the Daytona 500, the largest and most prestigious race. It is also the most viewed race. In 2005, over 19 million people watched the Daytona 500 on live tv. Many people who don’t watch Nascar know about Daytona. If you don’t even know what Daytona is, you’re not a Nascar fan.

You doing NASCAR vids now? Sweet!
You should get FivePoints to come on the podcast
Oh hi Darian
I LOVE your channel!
YEET
YOUR HERE TO!
This might be kind of “out there” but a video like this for PGA Tour courses would be cool since they’re all really different and unique!
Yeah not sure how many are “mapped” or if i can capture that essence. But that is a great idea
Would be amazing!
@@FivePointsVids please do
Worst part of NASCAR is waiting two hours to get out of the parking lot
What do mean the worst part, you get to tailgate.
Yeah went to the Coca cola 600 few years back, the hotel was 15 miles away took two hours to get there.
lmw 02 three and a half hours at Bristol 4 years ago . Race was a total sell out and Street NON-Outlaws was filming the next day at Thunder Valley . The entire grounds was a absolute mad house .
I rolled into Dover with a flat tire on my Taurus SHO once and rather than fret about it, I told my son, "Screw it, we'll have plenty of time to change it after the race!"
@lmw0253 for real
As a kid, in nascar video games I would turn off cautions and drive in the opposite direction trying to cause the biggest pile up possible😂. Good Times!
Saaaaame
Pretty sure everyone did that because why wouldn't you?
Oh yeah, we all did that
Me too
@@Flamingbro69 yep, did it too, if anyone played those games then, and didn't do that at some point, they are lying
Kauffman and Arrowhead are in MISSOURI.
I knew someone was gonna say it lmao
Nobody cares. That's why it happens. I mean, Missouri or Kansas? Who gives a shit?

You mean parking lots
ExtraChristo 78 indycar aswell would be nice
NASCAR tracks are larger than F1 ones in length, so there is no difference
ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY BABY GET READY FOR THE RACE THIS WEEKEND!!!
^ back when we had racing
@@Skeletor-hl9jd I miss those days
*insert big jimmy oof*
Holy shit a NASCAR video!!!
I will ignore the errors because you finally made a NASCAR video!!!
You the ream MVP
The only error was a making a NASCAR video.
Christopher Fair The only mistake is your opinion
Jeremy Hockert no, his opinion is a fact. He literally acted like Auto Club Speedway has barely any fans going even though the grandstands are not even close to being empty. BTW why did he even say that about Auto Club and not something else about the track. About every NASCAR track except Daytona are getting less fans because NASCAR is “dying”
Jonnymlndz23 I was talking about the dude who said he shouldn’t have made a nascar video
Love it! Have seen most of your others but I don't watch much other sports. Thank you for making this!

Carnation taking over the comment section over here huh?
@@jbaskinger41 looks like this is a NASCAR CZcams reunion. You never reacted to my roast btw
one of these for F1 circuits would be rad
As an F1 viewer hell yeah I agree
I mean yeah but like 2/3 of the Google Earth views will be flat
2005 USA Grand Prix
They tried to use Indy but the tires couldnt comprehend the banking causing a like 6 car race.
@@lilicewall4343 that was only one year and that was because Michelin produced a tyre not capable of handling the banks that year
Finally a NASCAR video!
Ik
Pretty good overview! Not to be a nitpick, but a few things I wanted to add;
Chicagoland is actually 90 minutes south of Chicago, and while it's post box is in Joliet, the track itself is in New Lenox, Illinois. It's the site of the infamous giant inflatable orange which creeped onto the track during Todd Szegedy's qualifying run in 2002, which I was there to see. That was really, really funny, because everyone there knew it was going to come onto the track at some point, it was just a matter of when!
ISM's road course was not used for NASCAR races, and joined the calendar in 1988. Banking was added to it a few years ago.
Michigan gets a lot of fans from Canada and has only one two-lane highway going into the place, which was annoying as hell to get in and out of (last time I was there was 1999). They got so many that, from what I understand, they used to play the Canadian national anthem during pre-race. Mad props for the Swervin' Irvan shoutout.
Las Vegas also has an airfield near it, or at least, it used to. Learned that from watching an old IRL race.
Indianapolis does lose money on the NASCAR race each year -- they make a lot from the Indy 500 though.
Wow awesome facts!!!
@@FivePointsVids also kentucky speedway was made in 2011
@@creeddaniel8959 Kentucky was made in 2001. It got its first cup race in 2011.
@@kbegay14 ok. Thanks
sonoma also only has 1 two lane highway in and out
I somehow got to this vid about ten minutes before it came out, checked the uploads on the channel and it wasn’t there. It was like I wasn’t supposed to see it.
Anyways, now that I can comment, good vid FPV.
Thank you so much for doing this. Glad to see bigger sports pages giving love to NASCAR, even if it’s just one video. I love it.
"Imagine racing at 110 degree heat." It's 130 inside the cockpit at every race
im sure that the fans dont enjoy the heat though
Do Indycar tracks please
If he did defunct IndyCar tracks as well, the video would be about 58 hours long :P
@@Cynon so would have to watch in two sittings
IndyCar is garbage
Bill Elliott 1987 Talladega @ 212 mph
Rusty Wallace tested a 2004 Cup car without a restrictor plate and made a lap speed of 216mph, with a top speed of 228mph on the straights.
YES!! IVE WAITED FOR THIS FOREVER. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Been a fan of your videos for a while, and an avid racing fan since birth. Love that you gave racing a shot and tbis did not disappoint.
Phoenix International Raceway has been an oval since it opened. It had a road course configuration until 2011, but the major circuits (NASCAR and Indycar) have never used it.
I was hoping someone would catch that.
Not only did Phoenix have a road course in the infield but in the 60s the road course, at times, could be extended through the roads around the parking lot.
IMSA ran on the road course, at least in 1993. The short course was created in 1991 after the big road course was closed
I thought i saw footage or early 90s IMSA running the big road course.
I recall Grand Am running the smaller infield road course in the 2000s.
@@The52car It's possible, my information could have been somewhat inaccurate. I was relying on the info from racingcircuits.info that says the new infield road course was run 1991-onwards. You could be right.
@@theflagstand no no, you were right... it was just the short course now that I went back and looked for it.

Finally a NASCAR video!!!!!
5:17 Kauffmann and Arrowhead stadiums are actually on the missouri side of Kansas City. Being a Missourian, I cant let Kansas take credit for them.
Double Spike Productions yeah bc we super bowl champs now
This might be the best thing to come from NASCAR, a 5-Points Vids piece of content!
“imagine racing in 110 degree heat” come to the indy 500 in may
Or Charlotte, also in May. Or Daytona in July.
Ism 120 degrees in July
Dank Funny *did we just call the Indy 500 the Brickyard 400*
Rosey Boi fixed it lol i was in a rush typing it
You must be mistaking the Indy 500 for the Brickyard 400 in August or possibly The Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway Labor Day weekend when the temps are 90 degrees with the heat index and the 100% humidity making it feel like 115, come on man! May in Indiana feels like late March or early April down south!
Darlington is also called “The Lady in Black” because cars hit the wall so much, it turns black.
Nice to see you to a nascar video. I also enjoy all the others, you explain things nicely with good comedy jabs in as well.
thanks austin
Listened to this vid on the way home from work. Still loving your stuff man! Neverforget your biggest fan! Merch?!
12:50
*West . . . TMS is WEST of Dallas... in Ft. Worth, which is a major city on its own.
Not really even in Fort Worth either LOL. And you have to drive north to get to it (damn near 2 hours at 5pm on a weekday).

Omg a Three Amigos reference!! I love it!! So El Japo, you have a plethora of piñatas 🤣🤣
yes i love that you do some nascar stuff!!!!!!!!!!
6:07 “aka a “Ralph Northam””
DAMMMMMMMNNNNN😂😂
That is worth a Dam Son!
You've done cars.
Now, it's time to do horses.
Largest horse racing tracks.
And then Greyhound tracks, maybe Jai Alai stadiums
Where Thoroughbreds like to horse around at race day and after the race.
@@FivePointsVids Famous swimming pools!
Fun fact about Bristol: when all of the cars are running at full speed around the track, it actually creates a vortex that extends up to the sky, creating it's own little environment and preventing rain during the race.
The miss information in your videos is absolutely outstanding!
duuuuuuude i know not one thing about racing but i LOVE ME SOME BUILDINGS
SAME HERE!!!!
Do a NASCAR mascot critique
Love it. Amazing video keep up the good work!
This was very interesting. Thank you!
I both live in Kentucky and have been to a race at that track.
They are both indeed boring.
Yeah I feel the same
I went to the 2016 race there, the truck that caught on fire in the parking lot made it less boring lol
One of my first races I ever attended was an IRL race at Kentucky in 2003. I miss IndyCar at Kentucky. Incredible racing.
These are all basically in the middle of nowhere
NASCAR tracks need a lot of space, so that's why most of them are out in the boonies.
...but some of the tracks are in large cities or suburbs, at least. Just way away from the center of town.
Something something NIMBYs
Noise
Jeriat Gillum yeah. The only reason Indy is “in” indianapolis is because it was originally built before the sprawl caught up to it
Phoenix raceway is pretty close to the city
Nice take on Kansas Speedway. I've been there a couple of times and it's really nice to ride along in a NASCAR and walk along the track itself. TV doesn't do the banking justice I tell ya. I'd probably say Bristol is more of a football stadium than Dover but both are pretty much enclosed circuits. Also, the international airport on Daytona's backstretch once was used in the 1980s when then US president Ronald Reagan came to watch a Richard Petty get his 200th and final win. There was video of Air Force One touching down as some of the race cars zipped along the backstretch. It looked amazing.
This video tickled my fancy FivePoints Vids. And Also Do A NASCAR Pant Job Critique.
I live 30 mins from Watkins Glen!
Do F1 tracks
Yes
I'm sorry but ISM has been an oval since it opened. It did have a road course configuration from 1964-1991 which was then shortened and later removed after the 2011 repave
Alright a nascar video awesome
Great video as always fam
I WANNA GO FAST!!!
Kansas City is an awesome track! There's a strip not too far away from the track that gives you an awe-worthy look at the seating and press box. Such a beautiful town, and you're god damned right the KC faithful know how to grow grass, grab ass, and grill BBQ.
Pocono actually had the longest front stretch in Motorsports. Also each of the 3 turns is a different radius and banked at a different angle. Turn 1 is a 675 foot radius with 14 degrees of bank, then the back straightaway is 3,055 feet long, then turn 2 is a 750 foot radius with a 8 degree bank, then the short straight is 1,780 feet long, then turn 3 is a 800 foot radius at a 6 degree bank and the front straight is 3,740 feet long. My favorite track aside from Daytona. It’s so unique and challenging as a race due to needing to have a clever set up to handle the different turns like that and also seeing the drivers get creative with racing lines and shifting techniques. Also I go every year. And this year, they’re hosting NASCAR’s first ever double header race. There’s gonna be a 130 lap race on Saturday June 27th, then a 140 lap race on Sunday. Both for the cup series. That’s wild. They’re doing that instead of the usually 2 separate races a year there spread out more
As a fan of your videos, pretty awesome to see a video on my favorite sport! Very nicely done!
How about you rank every nascar track from worst to best
what's next critiquing every olympic stadium😂😂
Thank u so much I love NASCAR!

As s NASCAR fan. Thank you for this video I love it!
A perfect video for those with a fetish for Ovals.
Hot damn a Nascar video!
ive went to superbike races (MotoAmerica) at Sonoma once, absolutely love the track from the Spa looking uphill turns at the start to the carousel
I love it. Would love to see Indycar, F1, WEC, and IMSA.
Can't wait for the critique of the new Road courses added to the Cup schedule (whether it be its own video or part of one critiquing Indycar or IMSA tracks)
Thx 4 mentioning Dan Wheldon in the Las Vegas segment. :( Still remember how it happened, as this was the final race of the 2011 season. May he rest easy eternally.
Betcha Dan's got a real fine race car in heaven where he'll burn rubber in the quarter mile and the straightaway.
Awesome. More racing vids would be cool
I liked your CFB videos so I know i’ll Like this
Nice video. You even posted it on the anniversary of the creation of NASCAR. Intentional or not. Keep up the good videos bro
Me as a huge NASCAR fan I didn’t expect this but YES
Great thing to end the day 👍
I go camping every year like 15 minutes from the Poconos one. I always see it when we drive by, it looks way bigger in person.
