NASCAR releases free 'NASCAR Classics' video archive

NASCAR has expanded its digital experience, releasing hundreds of races for free online with the “NASCAR Classics” website. Featuring a list of the Top 75 Greatest Races of all time, and hundreds of other events throughout the decades of stock car racing, fans will be able to find a little bit of everything here.

Have you ever wanted to take a look back and see Lee and Richard Petty duel it out together on the track? What about watching Dale Earnhardt during his time with Osterlund Racing?

No matter what era of NASCAR you grew up with or which is your favorite, you can now watch the best races in the history of the sport. The quality is better than what you will find on YouTube and is a treasure trove of forgotten media, drivers, and other memories.

An archive unlike any other.

This is NASCAR Classics.

Not only is this an amazing resource for race fans, this is a great historical archive. As a history major, I love seeing these races put into one place, for FREE, so that they can be used, watched, and reviewed for years to come.

You can go back and watch the Top 75 Greatest Races starting with Michigan in 1951. Of course, there are a TON of Daytona races as well as races from Darlington. Do you miss watching NASCAR at Rockingham? Well, they’ve got it.

Just about anything and everything you can think of NASCAR Classics has you covered.

NASCAR Classics gives fans a look into the past

More so than other sports, NASCAR is about history. While there are leagues that have been around for decades, they’ve had big events, but it isn’t like stock car racing. Perhaps you don’t even fully grasp the fandom of the sport until you attend a race in person.

For those that have stock car racing in their blood, NASCAR Classics is going to become invaluable. Over the years, Fox has aired throwback races online and done watch parties for these classic moments. However, this gives control to the people at home.

Now older fans of the sport don’t have to just talk about the good old days. They can SHOW us the good old days.

Of course, there are a lot more races from the modern era since TV broadcasts were made of them all and the footage is relatively new. However, those races in the 50s, 60s, and 70s are full of great action. Now, they are just waiting to be enjoyed by fans old and new. Check out NASCAR Classics and take it all in for yourself.
