Vintage NASCAR Museum?

Today’s NASCAR doesn’t seem to satisfy many of us old timers, and even has problems attracting younger enthusiasts. For whatever reason, the new NASCAR lacks the draw of the racing many of us grew up with. I am not sure if it is the new style of drivers or the new, generic race cars. If you long for the old school racing we loved so much, there may be some good news on the horizon.

Unfortunately, there is little hope for the racing we loved to return or even again see good ole boy moonshine drivers showing their stuff on the racetrack. If all goes well, we might soon see those old race cars we loved so much up close and personal.

Renowned photographer and good friend Al Rogers always brings us news and images of great old cars in the center fold of Old Cars Weekly magazine. Today, he sent information that everyone on this site should be excited about. David Pearson is undoubtedly one of our heroes. Heck, Richard Petty has even referred to David as the best driver he ever raced. Even after David stopped driving and winning Championships in NASCAR, he still fed his racing bug. The video below is not only a lesson on David Pearson, but also a hint of some great news of future excitement.

Thank you, Al, for sharing, and keep us informed on the future of this new attraction.

I grew up and lived in Iowa for a good portion of my life before moving to Southern California. After 20+ years we now live outside Nashville Tennessee. I have been into cars since I was old enough to remember. I don't have a brand loyalty although I do prefer American Muscle especially the 1969/1970 NASCAR Aero Cars. (Check out our other web site at www.TalladegaSpoilerRegistry.com site) As long as it has four wheels and an engine I get excited. Few men are lucky enough to be able to share their passion for cars with the woman they love. Fortunately, my wife, Katriana, is also a gear head and many of our activities revolve around the cars. We have a small collection that includes at least one car from each of the Big Three. It includes a Best of Show winner, a survivor, a driver with lots of patina and several others. Katrina prefers all original cars while I like to modify them so we have a few of each. When we aren't playing with cars we are out working with or showing our miniature donkeys.
