ARCA's coming to Nashville Fairgrounds in 2009 - nice to see one of the touring series return to a great short track.

@BSNFabricating You're correct. Bodine won in July after Waltrip was declared winner in May; Bonnett was declared winner at first, but a scoring recheck gave Waltrip the win.

@briancalibergbmd LOL - Shirt track! That's actually appropriate seeing the guns Tim Richmond and some of these other drivers sported back then.

Back when NASCAR was for REAL!

great.. thank you.. thank you.. ect...

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing this. It is great to remember the days when the drivers hung out with their crews and were interested in what was being done to the car. It's also nice to see them not being bombarded with autograph seekers.

sorry...meant "short" track...not "shirt" track :)

This is awesome!! Thanks for posting. Great to see how they worked on the cars back then...almost like a local shirt track race..no fancy garages or haulers. Seeing the drivers hanging out in their street clothes. I started watching NASCAR around this time and have kept up with it ever since (geez I feel old) :) But it is way too "corporate" now...all anout the money now and not the racing. I miss the "old" days as shown here. Thanks again!! My fav driver for 25 years was Terry Labonte.

The last Cup race at the Fairgrounds was in July of '84 I believe...I think Geoff Bodine won that one but I'll have to check

Great stuff ! I especially like the shot of Earhardt walking behind Ricky Rudd and poking him in the back ! I wonder whose kid Earnhardt was talking with(the one with the stopwatch) ?
Was that Dale Earnhardt getting out of the back of that station wagon at 1:53

Yes it is. That's Ron Bouchard and a kid he stops to talk to.
