Definitely had fun with my little bit of this video. Air Base Speedway is a total anomaly in NASCAR history and to think a piece of history that weird was just chilling in my neck of the woods is honestly mind-boggling. These old abandoned tracks are everywhere down south and its like finding relics from a by-gone age when you stumble across one. Fun stuff for sure.

Five Points and S1apShoes is something we didn't know we needed

Nice to see you included all kinds of NASCAR tracks. Surprised to see there are a lot of abandoned speedways in the Carolinas.

Ayyyyyy S1ap and FivePoints! Also here before Carnation

No love for the Walt Disney World Speedway, aka "The Mickyard"?

Ontario is now a minor league hockey arena. Home of the Kings AHL affiliate the Ontario Reign. The mall ia down the street.

Bring North Wilkesboro back. Like if you agree

Leaving North Wilkesboro was like the demolition of Hollywood Park in 2016.

12:03 is Micheal Waltrip’s nightmare

I remember them tearing down Riverside Speedway, it's now a crappy mall

Kinda surprised you didn't mention Riverside. That one is the most infamous of all.

We had a local track in Summerville, SC called Summerville Speedway. It opened in 1964, and closed in 2004. it is now a housing development. While never a major track a few major Nascar drivers like Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace, Davie Allison, Bobby Allison, and a few others were there in 1987, and drove a few of the locals cars.

"A meteor will probably hit before then" 2020: Write that down!

Nazareth speedway is a lost gem. It was literally in the backyard of the andretti's and was an amazing track to be at. As a nazareth native myself I feel it's a complete shame this track didn't strive. But you nailed, it's remote location and the fact most of the local population complained about noise and traffic on race weekend was it's down fall. If only nazareth township would given this track the love it deserved. Would have been nice to see Marco race here just like his father, uncle, and grandfather. Either way I've since snuck into the track and have several large Chucks of the racetrack and cherish the memories I've had here. P. S. If you or slap or any other racing RU-vidr wanna come to nazareth, PA and get on the track I know a few diehard andretti and nazareth speedway fans who would love to show you around the track and get footage of what it looks like today 👍.

Rockingham: Am I a joke to you

"It sits abandoned like Cleveland Browns fans' hopes and dreams" -FivePointsVids 2020

I love discovering new RU-vidrs...but even more than that I love when two RU-vidrs I follow discover each other.

Rockingham is such a sad story honestly I love that track such a Joy to race on in Nascar Video games espically in thunder 04 with the a low down force staggered spring setup add that with some low tire pressures and man you really do have some fun racing!

Two of my favorite youtubers and never thought they'd get together. So cool

Boogity, Boogity, Boogity!!!!! Let’s shut down these racetracks, boyz!!!!!!!!!

I’m happy that S1apSh0es is getting his just due ! One of my favorite youtubers

Soon to be added: Auto Club. Hopefully once they begin tearing down the outer parts of the track they erect a statue of Greg Moore off of where turn 2 use to be given that the hybrid of all 3 short tracks may be around long enough for there to be a generation of motorsport fans who have no idea who he was. Even though I doubt Indycar will race at Auto Club ever again since Indycar hasn't run on a half-mile track since 1959, they should still honor a really talented driver.

When I was living in Georgia I was in the local Mopar club. We were the ones that cleaned up Middle Georgia Raceway and had a Racers Reunion Show there. Here's the video of our club meet there and us driving on the track. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vcpSNTU77_g.html Those were good times. I miss them.

I love these stadium vids. Continue the fantastic work man. 🔥🔥🔥

My dad used to take me to the Wilkes Speedway. It's only about 20 minutes away from my house. People sneak in quite a bit and do some laps.

It still amazes me how Flemington Speedway hosted NASCAR races in the 90’s with the bizarre shape. It honestly would’ve made for some entertaining races at any level.

I grew up in Byron and the track used to be amazing. It was the “site” of the 1970 Atlanta International Pop Festvial which was Jemi Hendrix biggest comcert to date.

I’m from Spartanburg and I’ve actually watched a dirt track race at the Fairgrounds racetrack. The stands can probably hold less that 500 people. Honestly most the local high schools football teams have better capacity than the racetrack does. They use it a lot for local pro wrestling shows during the fair season but no one in their right mind would go to that racetrack nowadays anyways due to it being in one of the shadiest neighborhoods in all of Spartanburg. The story about Duke Power dumping trees there is also 100% true.

You missed one track guys...Riverside! That place had waaaayyyy too much history. Otherwise, credit to Five Points and S1ap Great vid guys!

Augusta International Speedway and Michigan International Speedway's road course section are two of the composite tracks that no longer exist. MIS exists, but the road course is unreachable and broken up into three parts (main oval, infield camping area, and SCCA track also used by Michigan State Police)

The best collaboration possible. Great video once again

Nazareth also sent grandstands to Darlington raceway that are located in turn 1.

Pyongyang needs a NASCAR track

Awesome to see you covering this. Even cooler to see Slapshoes getting more recognition. Love both of your guys’ stuff!

It took me a split second to realize the screen said "Chicago Motor Speedway" and not "Chicagoland Speedway" XP.

The 2 mile auto club speedway in Fontana is being turned into a 1/2 mile short track.

I wish NASCAR would get back to its roots and do some beach racing and dirt racing at some tracks. And stop pretending they use a ball.

You and S1apsh0es doing this collab is exactly the thing I needed to help salve what's otherwise been the most horrible day. Great video, dudes.

Great video. Over the past few months I've watch every SlapShoes video twice. Fantastic stuff

Love that your covering NASCAR & working with S1ap.

Still waiting for former NHL arenas.

Islip wasnt exactly quickly demolished, It didnt close until 1984, 13 years after the cup left town. It was turned into a cookie factory. There is an old story that a former racer ended up with the trucking contract to haul cookies out of the factory, and he made sure to lay on his horn every morning he was there at about 4:30AM to say hello to the neighbors that complained about the track.

Great video. Both you and S1apSh0es are two of the best historians when it comes to sports.

Miss 2 of my favorite tracks. The North Carolina Motor Speedway at Rockingham, and North Wilkesboro Speedway. Great racing, and even better was the hospitality of the folks who lived near those tracks. Made going to them part of the experience

Bro I didn’t know that there are so many abandoned tracks in North Carolina. Example North Wilkesboro I drive by there and all the time and Hillsboro I didn’t even know existed.

It is always cool to see your hometown in a video. Born and raised in Spartanburg, SC. Good job Fivepoints and Slap!

Never knew how much I needed this collab till now. ❤️❤️

Middle GA Raceway was actually closed because of new housing built near it. They complained about the noise and got it shut down. Interestingly enough, the trailer park that was right next to it never complained....

Love that your doing nascar vids!

Great video! Keep up the great work 😁

I loved this video! The more NASCAR tracks that close the better we all will be.

Nice! A collaboration with Slap! Im not even a fan of racing but hes good with the history of nascar. A lot of stuff i never wouldve known

The 2 Best NASCAR channels collab

You missed Riverside raceway in Riverside CA

Came here for S1ap, stayed for the great video!

11:27 Oh my God, there's a car sitting backwards in the middle of the track. 11:30 Nice.

When the funniest youtuber and the smartest collab

This was awesome, we'd definitely love to see more. Speedway Park in Jacksonville is one that was turned into an apartment complex sadly. That is where the first black driver, Wendell Scott, won.

I have been waiting on this collab, just gotta tree in on it

More motorsports content please! I've seen some F1 tweets from you lately, maybe some videos about F1 are in the works?

Why must you hurt me like this? *Cries manly tears of sadness*

Just an FYI, Portland International Raceway (pictured at the beginning) is still standing, formerly hosted Truck Series races, and has a regular Indy date now. Portland Speedway however was across the street and hosted Nascar Weekly series as well as the trucks and has been torn down and is now a warehouse.

The Nazareth track should become an Andretti Family museum and driving school / fan ride-along attraction. That way it’s not directly competing and the two facilities could complement each other. For example, maybe an Indy fan comes for the open wheel stuff and then sees nascar stuff and decides to go to the nearby race while in town.

Fun fact: Life is a highway, I want to ride it all night long

who else remembers texas world speedway from need for speed? 😢

I know this is a manscaped channel but I like the sports part at the end.

I knew this had to be a s1ap collab

Imagine being a big enough Karen to form an "Anti Noise Ordinance" lmfao

I went to the inaugural NASCAR race at Loudon, NH. I've been to a lot of short track, drag races, and demolition derbies and they don't hold a candle to a Cup race. The noise and the speed is incredible. I highly recommend attending at least one NASCAR race in your life. And get off your couch and support a local track. There's a lot of talent out there and some really good racing.

The Milwaukee mile is/was the oldest racetrack in the United States. Trucks, Bush and Indy raced there. Last in 09.

Are we going to get a detailed vid on the two newest NFL venues? Or one about the Kaepernick saga? Or the Dodgers evasive path to another World Series? Just some ideas. I just love this channel a lot!

I know Rockingham wasn't in here but man that track needs to come back

You should do a critique of F1 Tracks.

S1apshoes is goated

Ontario was pretty interesting, it always reminds me of the Sau Paulo track used in F1, which is also a road course shoehorned into a speedway. Although the current simplified layout isn't as challenging. Ontario also seemed to do a better job than Indy's road course.

Another cool tidbit about the Daytona Beach course, a restaurant called Racing's North Turn now sits on the site of the north turn.

I Remember Manassas Race Track. I Lived 15 Minutes Drive From There In Dale City. You Could Spend A Afternoon There Watching Monster Trucks. Motorcycle Stunts. Car Racing Expo. Eat Lunch For Less Than $ 20.00 . Per Person. Was A Nascar Track For Many Years Too. DW Mentioned It Once . Now A Condominium Complex. It Was On 234 West Of 95 In Manassas VA. I'm Glad I Got To Experience Some Great Times There.

went to my first race this past week at bristol and it was one of the best live events Ive been to!

Hope there is a Part 2, so you can mention tracks like Riverside, Rockingham, and Walt Disney World Speedway. Also, maybe mention a former nearby track that I live near that’s in Tampa, the Golden Gate Speedway, which hosted one NASCAR race back in 1963

Awesome video

Great video. Just missed one track, the iconic Riverside Raceway

I love the air base story so much. Such an interesting fate that track had

Cool Slapshoes is on this one! Talks about Air Base Speedway... Of course

You did my Idea. Thank you. P.S. I’m the dude that suggested it in the NBA Arena sad fate video. I changed my channel name.

The memorial at Augusta International Raceway is actually behind the library in Diamond Lakes Regional Park. The school is on the other side of the property where the drag strip, oval, and kart racing track was. And a good bit of the road course and drag strip still remains and can be accessed.

Something not talked about as much but should be: Lots of drag strips, many previously sanctioned by the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) are closing down. 2 in New Jersey closed recently or are closing soon (Raceway Park in Englishtown and Atco). Would love to see drag racing covered in the future.

Great video. I love the historical side of stuff. Trust me, if I had the money I’d buy north wilkesboro

Sanatoga Speedway in Pottstown, Pa. closed in the early 70s. Now a walking park with much of the track preserved. Pottstown Speedway. Opened in the late 1800s as a horse track. Later became site of very early automobile racing (being named the Pottstown Auto Park). Closed in the late 40s-very early 50s. In the 50s a highway was built right through turns 1 and 2, but the rest of the track was still recognizable into the early 70s, being used as a storage lot. Is now a Walmart and 2 car dealers. Part of the road around Walmart follows the old turns 3 and 4. The other side of the highway (former turns 1 and 2) is now a gas station and beer mart. The entrance to a small playground (where turn 4 once was) has a small sign commemorating the site. The playground is called Speedway Playground. Vargo Dragoway in Perkasie. Closed in the mid 70s. Now a private airstrip. A reunion is held every year at the still intact track. Is part of a working farm. Can also be visited in the fall for hay rides. Dorney Park speedway. Part of the larger Dorney Park and Whitewater Kingdom. The track closed in the 80s and more rides were put in its place. Quakertown Speedway. A short track in the shape of a paper clip that used the Quakertown Farmers Market back parking lot and was never permanent. Closed in the 70s. Front stretch is still a parking lot. Back stretch is now a small outdoor flea market.

I attended the last race at North Wilkes. Gordon won it. Grew up near there. Also worth noting that it was pretty much THE inspiration for the track in Cars 3.

Best channel ever you talked about my dad city

Walmart executives: y'all getting rid of your racetrack? Buyer: yup, want it? Sure!

I did see one truck race at Flemington along with some modifieds. Pretty neat track really disappointing that its gone. I still race it in NR2003 in both dirt and paved.

I've been on the beach they raced at in Port Orange (yes, Port Orange is where it's at, not Daytona) It was during february and man the tide scales back SO MUCH. Just 10 minutes north it doesnt scale back as much. And another thing; that sand is nearly as hard as concrete. You can't leave footprints on it basically. Was so weird but so cool

I live near Cleveland and I laughed so hard at that browns joke!😆

This was a great video, FPV. Unfortunately, Myrtle Beach Speedway is gonna have to be added to this list 😭

6:51 My town featured on a car!

This was awesome, riverside might be an honorable mention

I travel through Flemington from time to time and theres still an active shopping plaza just down the road called "Speedway Plaza" which obviously makes more sense when you know the context

Were going to miss all of this tracks
