NASCAR: Bootlegging to Hero, The Early Years
Loading...
Uploaded by mh71921 on Jan 15, 2007
View a small glimpse of the early years in racing scene. Now known as National Association of Stock Car Automobile Racing, it was at first, a way of 'Earning a Living' running from the law in an effort to deliver "Bootleg" whiskey to those thirsty Souls that needed the Extra Boost that no "Store Bought" liquor could offer. Eventually evolving into the Most Loved Sport in America, and supported by more than 100 Million Fans, NASCAR is now and will always be the "Sport of the Common Man"! Audio from actual interviews from the Allison and Yarborough "Altercation", and the 'King', Richard Petty. Music by Kenny Loggins as he sings his Hit, from the movie 'Top Gun', "Highway to the Danger Zone"!

When racin' was racin'. Stock Cars MEANT stock cars until 1975. Then they still looked like CARS. When NASCAR was spelled PETTY!

Wow! Great video. My fiance's grandfather is the late Paul McDuffie, the crew chief for Fireball during the Southern 500 at 4:25 into the vid. Thank you for shedding a little more light on the darkside.
