Cubans react to NASCAR - First Time - WHOAAA! 

WE ARE SO SHOCKED HOW MUCH FUN THIS WAS!!! We are NASCAR fans! Have you guys been to any races??? Also, whats the next American subculture?!

I have been a NASCAR fan since I was 20, I am now 51. Yoel and Mari are now hooked. It is one thing to see it on TV, but to experience it in person is another. I love Yoel's enthusiasm for this country, he has more love for this country than a lot of people who were born here. I guess it takes not having freedom, to realize what freedom actually means. As a veteran I appreciate your love for America and wish you all the best.

No matter what experiences Yoel and Mari have, his joy brings me to tears. Tears of gratitude for our freedom and opportunities. And I loved how he placed his right hand over his heart at the Star Spangled Banner. Mari is his biggest cheerleader. Woohoo!

No matter HOW MANY new experiences he gets to experience, Cuba is always there w/him and u can truly c how much he luvs his own country. It hurts him to know that Cuba cud have had all of these things to enjoy also. He is conflicted for sure and my heart aches for him Enjoy all ur FUTURE firsts. Be well Be happy 🐥🇨🇦🐥hugs everyone

You need to go to a NHRA National event! They are in Chandler,AZ and Las Vegas in the spring. Vegas in the spring is 4 cars at the same time. 10,000+ hp each!

It's so great you two are showing US how much we have to be thankful for and describing what it would be like if we lost it also. It is worth fighting for!

IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY FOR SOMEONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS. ALOT OF AMERICANS ARE TAKING OUR FREEDOMS ANS CAPITALISM FOR GRANTED. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS CUBA.

It's so nice to see his facial expressions of joy. I'm glad he is having the time of his life in the USA....God bless you both..

I came to watch you both to lift my spirits after a tough day. I wasn’t disappointed. ❤

I say this with respect and love. Watching Yoel experience these things warms my heart like when my son waiting for Christmas then opening the toy he wanted so much or taking him to Disneyworld for the first time. Seeing someone you care about experiencing joy and happiness is one of life's greatest rewards. Love seeing you two so happy. ❤

I went to a Nascar event, and it was the most American thing ever! Loved it. Glad to see you guys did too!

🙋‍♀️new subscriber here Hola, love this channel, reminds me of a whole new level of appreciation and humility for my country, God bless you both 🙏

New to your channel and I honestly get emotional watching Yoel's reaction to the world outside of Cuba. Your content explaining the contrast of both countries reflects how resilient Cuban people are. Continued success and enjoy your journey to discover the world as most of us know. Take care and God Bless!

I am so happy you got to experience this!! Very heartwarming to see you both there.

This really warms the heart. I’m so happy that Yoel can experience this and you two are making wonderful memories together. 🙏🏾💓🔥

Yoel’s reactions are so genuine. I ❤ you guys, you’re just amazing

I have been waiting for your video. Yoel is so excited and emotional. God Bless you folks. I never went to. NASCAR event. Thanks for sharing your experience. ❤️

I worked in NASCAR doing aerodynamics research and development. My father worked as a fabricator and tire carrier (one of the members of a pit crew) and my uncle was a successful driver in the late 60's, 70's, and early 80's. If you are ever visiting near Charlotte North Carolina, I would highly recommend calling one of the race teams to take a tour of their shop. The engineering that goes into these cars is truly incredible. I would recommend one of the larger teams such as Hendricks, RCR, or Penske since they tend to have tour guides and historical exhibits. There's a small town outside of Charlotte called Mooresville that is nicknamed "Race City USA" because it is home to so many NASCAR teams and drivers. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the race. Unfortunately it isn't as popular as it was when I was young, but it is still a huge part of who we are

Yoel and Mari really need to experience a NHRA Top Fuel event. The 10,000+ HP engine noise alone is well worth the cost of the tickets! It would be an experience like no other!

@Yoel and Mari *_Eres una inspiración amigo! ¡Sigue disfrutando de la vida y permite que otros de tu país vean que es posible alcanzar tus sueños! ¡Me alegro de haber encontrado tu canal!_*

I just love how you guys get these beautiful experiences ❤️

This just warms my heart. Thank you for showing and sharing all of things we American get to do and enjoy. Too back we take it for granted. Much blessings for the both of you. My grandfather from Cuba would of loved to see Nascar. (He was a mechanic in Cuba)

I've never been interested in NASCAR, but I absolutely LOVE how happy Yoel is!

First time I saw Joel drive! Made SO happy, I have tears in my eyes!!

A GREAT IDEA FOR A REACTION! If you can get to Las Vegas, there's a Nascar Speedway where Yoel can actually DRIVE A RACE CAR!!! If you time it correctly, you can also attend a Car Show as well! And if I haven't said it, WELCOME AND CONGRADULATIONS to our Newest Citizen, YOEL!

I am so happy that you got to experience this. Its makes me happy just watching you. Welcome to Nascar!

PLEASE DONT STOP MAKING THESE VIDEOS, I AM ADDICTED TO WATCHING THEM LOL. I LOVE THE EXPRESSION YOEL GIVES WHEN HE SEES NEW THINGS. HE IS SO HUMBLE. HE IS SO HONEST, AND SO FUNNY. I AM SO GLAD HE HAS COME TOAMERICA TO STAY. DO YOU PLAN ON TRYING TO GET MORE OF HIS FAMILY IN CUBA, TO COME LIVE IN AMERICA TO BE WITH YOU BOTH FOREVER? I HOPE YOU BOTH CAN GET ALL OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS TO COME TO AMERICAN AND BECOME CITIZENS, SO THEY CAN LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY, AND EXPERIENCE ALL THE GRAT THINGS THAT THE BOTH OF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED. COME TO TENNESEE AND SEE THE MOUNTAINS IN GATLINBURG AND PIGEON FORGE. KEEP MAKING THESE VIDEOS, WE LOVE THEM!! AND WE LOVE TYOU BOTH TOO !! JESUS LOVES YOU BOTH SO MUCH !!

I've been to a few NASCAR races when I was a kid. All Winston Cup races. Talladega in 95, 97, and 2000. 2000 was the best year when Dale Sr. won at the Winston 500. His last win before his death. I wasn't expecting him to win since I was rooting for Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, and Dale Jarrett. That was an unforgettable experience for me, my dad, and my two uncles. I also went to Bristol and Atlanta a couple of times. Bristol in 1996 and 1998. Atlanta in 2001 and 2003. ADDED: That was perfect about the beer y'all were drinking. The Xfinity series used to be called the Busch Series years ago. I still like to call them the Winston Cup and Busch Series. That's what I grew up with.

Yay, what a blast you both had. Back in the 1960s when in elementary school I had a cousin who took me to see a Michigan International Speedway 400 race. They had pit passes - which I highly recommend!!! I met drivers Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough there. It is soooooo fast and exciting. You brought back my fun memory of 60+ years ago. With 2 older brothers that really loved cars they helped me appreciate all kinds of cars and trucks over the years. I am very happy for you both.

I look forward to seeing your videos. Each and every one shows the gratitude that all Americans should feel.

I’m not gona lie … I shed some tears watching this cubano and his emotions and hearing his words about the wonderful things we have here in the US. Los hombres nunca deben llorar ….. but I can’t help it…..

You guys should look up the Bathurst 1000 in Australia!! Now that's a race!! Love love love your sheer joy Yoel, it's beautiful to see.

I love Yoel. He really puts things I take for granted into perspective. He has really made me think about the things I have and what other people don't. I go to work to earn money to purchase the things I want but there are people who can't even get the stuff they need to survive.

An NHRA drag race to see the Top Fuel cars would be something to see and hear and feel.

Watching him react to all these things we take for granted is eye opening Americans need to be more thankful for sure.

Yoel is so excited already at 3:20 & Mari comments "we haven't even gone in, yet". Lol. You two are so cute. You're both one up on me, though, because I've never been to a NASCAR race. Glad you had a great time.

the true origin of NASCAR would surprise you. if you like that, go to see drag racing too, also an interesting back story.

Come to Indy in May for 300,000 fans, tailgating, history, the pageantry, and a great race. Go to the museum, drive around the track, walk the in field. It's a blast!

Thank you for sharing both your experiences. Yoel seems like the guy that could easily be every guy's best friend.

I think this was one of my favorites. Maybe because I come from Florida. Nascar is life. Seeing how much it meant to Yoel really made me really happy. I love you both. 😘

Joel's sadness comes through even in his happiest moments. His people, especially his family are always evident in the sadness in his eyes. He loves America and the freedoms and opportunities that are here, Joel's,

Nascar races are amazing. The smell and thunder of the cars!

I'm 66 Yrs Old ,Been To Many Race Tracks ,Love Nascar ,And Other Car Events ,Glad To See You Had A Good Time

No matter what these guys always make my day. Such a joy to see their experiences. As always honey much love and respect from Texas. I swear watching you two are like watching my kids when they were little at Christmas ☺️☺️♥️♥️♥️

Its so great to see your exitement to experience the things that we take for granted. I personally have never been to a nascar race but have been to many car races and it is 100% good times.

I'm so very happy that Noel is enjoying America!!! Keep exploring, there's so much more. I'm happy that Noel is now an American citizen!!!!!

So glad you could both experience Nascar. There's nothing like it on earth!

Yoel and Mari try a NHRA drag racing event. Top fuel cars have to be heard and felt.

I love how Cubans keep so many of the cars from the forties & fifties in beautiful condition.

Oh hell ya! How fun! Love going to races! Yall look like you had so much fun!❤️❤️❤️

Love the energy...love Yoel's expressions!!!

I’m very happy to see you guys smiling PATRIA Y VIDA 🎉❤🇨🇺🇺🇸 keep up the good work Yoel 🙌

Next time go to Bristol, Tennessee! You see EVERYTHING! It’s like a race in a fishbowl. Bring ear protection though because it’s so loud. You see every move, every car on every lap. All the pits. All the action. It’s my favorite track!

It makes me very happy and proud as an American to see you both prospering and so happy to experience everything this great country has to offer. I had no idea Cuba also had a similar sport in its past, and I'm saddened of its demise along with many other things after Castro took power. It may interest you both to know that origins of NASCAR (stock car racing) were started due to "bootlegging" during Prohibition in the US. It's honestly a testament to this country that an activity that so may people love is the result of what started as a small group of people who knew Prohibition was Unconstitutional and literally fought and raced against it. The true history of how NASCAR got started is fascinating and I urge you both to research it on your own time. It's an example of small seections of the population taking action and doing what they can to fight against unjust government regulation. It's crazy to think that just over 100 years ago everyone and every fan at this race you attended would be considered law breakers and would have been sought by government officials. Our country isn't perfect by a long shot, but as crazy as it sounds..... NASCAR is an example of what happens when people as a collective stand up to the government and tell them, "enough." This isn't meant to be a political post, but so much of America's history can be told with stories like this. For example, the movie "Gangs of New York" talk about voter fraud and the Five Points Gang, the movie, "Untouchables" provides an overview of Al Capone, and I only mention that because he made much of his fortune capitalizing on alcohol distribution during prohibition...... so, he turned into the the same type of problem the government was attempting to solve. The point is.... I appreciate that you both are experiencing this all now and are reflecting on how great it is to be here in the US. We are still a nation growing and learning and you both are reminders we shouldn't take for granted that we as citizens influence our growth.

Yep Yoel is a car guy for sure💯...camping maybe not so much, but definitely a car guy lol. Awesome video guys, looked like a blast!

I could see you 2 in a Mach 10...oh yeah! ❤️‍🔥

I’ve been to that race, just so much fun. I love watching his reactions.

So glad y'all did that...Phoenix is one of my all time favourite tracks

I really like seeing our country through Yoel’s eyes

Thank you for sharing all your new experiences!

If the both of you have not been to a drag race. Go for it and give it a try. Since the two of you really enjoyed nascar I think the both of you would enjoy drag racing. Watching Yoel enjoy one of many Americas past times and seeing Mari happy also not only makes me happy but makes everybody who watches both of you happy makes all of us happy. Please keep up the great work that both of you are doing.

Thats how it is at everyNASCAR race weekend. Everyone is just having a good time. You also need to experience truck and cup series. That was the Xfinity series race you were at.

I’d love to host you both in Indianapolis, Indiana for the Indy 500 in May!! We also have very cool drag races too (NHRA) (super loud, you can feel it in your body, earplugs are very necessary). The same drag strip allows the public to race their cars on certain days. I have thoroughly enjoyed ALL of your videos. Very eye opening and I have felt an incredible range of emotions watching your story. I love how adventurous you both are!! Sending loads of love to you both!! 🏎❤🫶🤩

Love Yall's Reactions ! Love your show!

Cool, you look like you had tons of fun! ❤

enjoy every moment! love u guys

Thank you for taking me along! I had a good time.

I am sure that is definitely a culture shock. While I personally don't care for NASCAR and car racing, it is available for everyone that wants to see it.

This is the type of content i subscribed for. The genuine first time culture shock is what makes a video great. I feel like you can only be genuinely surprised by a grocery store so many times 😂

I really like the mix of true history into these flicks. If only your could reach those of ours that have no understanding of its possibilities

I'd kill to see Yoel's reaction to something new to you both. An NHL hockey game!!!

Amen...God bless. Thanks for your contagious smiles.

I could seriously binge watch you two and your wonderful adventures, like I do great shows on Netflix. You all are just so fun to watch and I love Yoel’s reactions and excitement at all his firsts he’s experiencing here in the US. Keep posting and keep bringing us along on your fun adventures! ❤️

Love your videos, always eye opening to see a small window into just how spoiled we are in this country. Thanks.

NASCAR es uno de los mas popular deportes en los EEUU! El soñido de los motores son tan brusco que te da chinitas en la piel!!! Que disfrutan!!!

Something you may not know about NASCAR fans: If they're telling the truth, a good many of them go to the track in hopes of drinking beer and seeing a crash, because a car crash at 200+ miles an hour is...impressive, to say the least. Now, you need to treat Yoel(and yourself) to a drag race, a demolition derby, and a MONSTER TRUCK rally!

It is fun to see how excited you are! I need to do this someday. Thanks for the inspiration!

📣 Here's comes Mari as usual with her non stop rambling. Bird beak please.

Should come to Indianapolis in may and watch our 500 mile IndyCar race. The crowd alone is a must see.

You guys restore my faith in this country, seeing y'all enjoy it so much makes me appreciate it so much more.

Y'all are always so amazing, showing regular Americans how much we take for granted!! Thank you both!!

The first and only Nascar race I ever saw was at PIR as well. Got to see Van Halen make quite a show too. I was on my way to see Dr. Denton who raced a Bocar at Bonneville and decided to stop in.

I've been to the Indy 500 and the Brickyard 400. You need to take the trip to the Grand Canyon!

The whole world is your country my man not only Cuba US opens the doors for you to the whole world . Bless you all

You'll only saw a 1 mile racetrack...if you ever get to talladega Alabama's superspeedway, it's gonna blow your mind!!! The track length is 2.66 miles around! Super enorme!!! Sitting in the grandstands you need binoculars to see turn 3. Nascar race cars going 200 mph for 500 miles around the track. And there's usually a big pile up wreck at 200 miles an hour.

Daytona Beach in Florida has the races in February. The Indianapolis 500 takes place in May in Indiana. These are the two more famous that I know of.

We've been to Charlotte motor speedway , Martinsville and Kentucky Speedway to watch NASCAR races

Yoel, your story made the local radio station today in Knoxville, TN!

Now that you guys have watched NASCAR once, this coming February is the Daytona 500, the first race of next season, and the biggest race of the year. You guys probably won't go, but you definitely need to watch it on TV! Also, they have more than one series, kind of like how Formula 1 also has Formula 2, Formula 3, and other lower divisions. You guys were at the Xfinity series race, which is basically NASCAR's version of Formula 2. In the series below Xfinity, they actually race pickup trucks instead of cars, and it's just as crazy and exciting to watch!

You should go to an NHRA drag racing series. Yoel would love seeing the older cars race too.

A American sport built by moonshiners!!! Love it!!

Siempre me encanta sus contenidos 🔥

You guys were in the perfect spot!!! Most of the real action happens, either coming into or leaving the turns.

We love having you guys out for a night of racing

Congratulations Yoel on your first American paycheck. I recognized your face on the Fox News website. Thanks for your channel, Yoel and Mari,, and the wonderful content!

I was smiling so wide while watching this! Thank you for sharing this experience with me!

I suspect that’s how my brother felt when he finally got to see NASCAR in person! It was his dream!!!

Wow looks like y'all had fun. And this is the first time we saw Yoel drive😆😆 God bless you both. Mari your editing skills just keep getting better and better, you can really tell the difference when you rewatch an old video. 👍👍♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸

Ok Yoel - I love that you're a car guy. Cars unite so many people and cultures. If you are ever in Northern CA, I have a Shelby gt350 that I would love to have you experience driving. You also have to attend one or more of the 3 F1 races we now have in the US.

You guys were actually at my home track in Avondale Arizona glad u guys had fun!
