  • Thanks

    Love listening to the old races. Do you have any of the cardinal or dogwood races from Martinsville in the mid to late 70’s?

  • Love these!

    Love hearing the old races don’t care for the modern ones but that’s ok. Great way to spend time working in the garage and listening to these. Would love to hear the 85 Talledega 500 when Bill came from two laps down to win.

  • 70’s

    Love these rebroadcasts. Would love to hear the 1971 Riverside 500 & 1972 400. My dad won these races, I was very young so don’t remember much about those races. Ray Elder shocked the NASCAR nation by winning the 500. I’ve heard even the broadcasters were surprised. Would love to hear it.
