It's stuff like this that makes me wish NASCAR had an official database of chassis' that can allow you to track a cars lineage. It just feels more special when you see a car with a legacy worth remembering.
NASCAR needs a thing like V8 supercars has. V8Sleuth has a database which carries data from every Australian touring car/V8 supercar dating back to the 80s
This is great! I'll get you some more info on some of the cars I'll be driving throughout the 2025 season for Wayne Peterson. Most of his cars are 20+ years old!
2:28 I got to see RK-175 at TMS December 2023. My dad and I were in Dallas for the Eagles/Cowboys game and went to the track just to see if the gift shop was open and to maybe snap some pictures outside. Amazingly, the folks there told us there were racing experience cars on track and since the gift shop opened right up to the grandstands, they let us walk out there and watch! It was actually my dad's first time at a NASCAR race track for any reason despite him being the one who introduced it to me
🎉UNDER THE SHEETMETAL IS BACK!! 🎉 One of the best series on YT! NASCAR HOF has some cars rotating thru would be interesting to see there historical events and History.
When I retired from the Navy, I bought 2 retired Chassis' RCR-157; 2006 Jeff Burton #31 from Michigan and HMS 234, Which started off as a #24 NetZero Chevrolet driven to Victory at Nashville 2002 by Jack Sprague(His first Busch Win) Jason Leffler, Derek Cope, Kenny Wallace are thought to have driven it once it left HMS. Wearing a 2006, Twisted Sister Body now. Love the OG NASCAR!
Heck yeah!!! Love your "Under The Sheet Metal" vids. It consistently baffles me that you don't have multiple hundreds of thousands of subscribers. You're easily one of the best racing channels on UA-cam.
I never knew that the Dale Jr car at Talladega International Motorsports Hall of Fame was the Pepsi 400 car. I got my picture made by that car in 2004 at DEI then again with my son in 2022.
Hey Mitchell, I just commented (2 days late…) that you’d love this video… I somehow KNEW you’d be here to watch it! Great job on the Kulwicki Museum video. I’m a huge follower…
These videos are very very neat. It’s probably a lot of work to find the history of some of these cars. I have never messed with race cars but airframes of small aircraft are somewhat similar.
There's a graveyard at Michigan behind the back stretch along the old exterior road course, perhaps I'll send pictures and chassis IDs the next time I'm out there
78 Rookie of the year, Ronnie Thomas found me a 1984 Levi Garrett SS Monte Carlo. Car was completely but had been sitting since 1985. The owner bought the car from Ron Benfield, painted it and made one race in 85 before parking it.
When I was a kid back in the 80's, our local Rick Hendrick Chevrolet dealership (I grew up in Charleston South Carolina), every now and then on the way back from a race, if a car had been wrecked over the weekend, they'd leave it at the dealership for fans to check out. Also, we had a Lincoln Mercury dealership as well that had some kind of alliance with Bud Moore Racing because they got a raced used Motorcraft T-Bird at the dealership that they would take prospective car buyers in around a small track they had in the back of the dealership. The Carolinas was an awesome place to grow up if you were a NASCAR fan...
Chassis 004 was honestly a badass ride. Would love to know what Chassis won the 2003 Aaron’s 499, and if that car was used for any of Speedweeks 2003 or any plate race in 2004.
I wish you would make a video of Alan's Kulwicki's Underbird. I know the car was purchased from Bodine in 94 or 95 and the guy that restored it made a website. He then sold it to Hooters Casino in Vegas where it was on display for many years. I saw the car in 2017 at the casino but it was in rough shape because the car was at the entrance not roped off with drunk gamblers leaning all over it. After the casino closed down a few years ago the car went missing. Some say its at the Nascar HOF but I don't think that the real Underbird Alan raced at Atlanta in 92
I've always thought that when you have a chassis that performs exceptionally, that is it wins & or consistently finishes among the top 5, that chassis once it's outdated for use should be retired and put in the team's showroom. I had no idea DEI used the same chassis to win all those races back then, but I am glad they retired the car & the motor & have them in locations where fans can see it. Remember when he was at Hendrick, Jr also had that chassis he nicknamed Amelia that ultimately ended up in Dirty Mo Acres all beat-up and rusted out, I always thought it was wrong of him to do that with that car after the success he had with it. Other cars that should have been retired if they weren't actually: the chassis Harry Gant won those 4 straight races with in 1991, Robert Yates Racing chassis 007, the RCR chassis Dale Earnhardt dominated plate racing with in 1990, Jeff Burton's Roush chassis that led every lap at Loudon back in 2000, Mark Martin's Busch Series Winn Dixie T-Bird, Martin Truex Jr's Chance 2 Motorsports Bass Pro Shops plate race chassis, Morgan McLure's 95 to 96 plate race chassis with the X pipe setup, Rusty Wallace's Midnight chassis, Jeff Gordon & Jimmie Johnson's plate race chassis from the mid to late 2000's, there's a lot more, I could go on for a while...
there’s an empty lot near me that i found by taking a wrong turn once (north carolina things) with a bunch of bk racing chassis, i think i’ll go over there at some point to see what they’re from!
More of a reason to Hate the Next-Gen!! There will be no more "Famous Chassis" Because Nascar Owns all the teams Next Gen Cars, Teams only build/Fab very few parts, Teams now buy there parts, Most Parts one time use for quality. (Even when purchased new parts may not pass Q/C and sold off to a lower funded team or shelved) Teams can only have 13 Engines per season each Ran twice and Nascar seals them before so they can be inspected (Ask Denny😂) at a later date or post race. After post race inspection the cars returns in 1,000 pieces loaded in boxes every nut and bolt!! DANG SHAME!!!
What race did you get the footage of the race car graveyard behind talladega? I see that the race is on NBC and was under a red flag at the time. I’d like to see the video of that

Yes!!
There is an informal database
@@mikeferguson898 where?
I noticed ultimate racing history doesn’t have anything on cup chassis’ after 2018.

Bro that is beyond amazing. Good luck and have a blast man we’ll be watching a rooting you on!
Check the chassis numbers, and do some research. Let us know what you find. You might even drive a past cup champion car.
YO ITS THE PIZZA MAN
YES THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS SERIES BACK!! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
DEI Chassis 004 played a big role in the Legandary career of Dale Jr I not surprised it's in a Museum.

ARCA Driver (Bryce Haugeberg) runs a Chip Ganassi car at Superspeedways. It's CGR-003 which got track time as a Casey Mears car.
I think someone runs Sterling Marlins car from the 2001 Daytona 500. CGR-005.
@austincooper4508 Yes that's Rette Jones Racing. The No.30 team. Muniz ran it during plates the past 2 seasons.
I love, love, love these "Under the Sheet Metal" episodes! Keep 'em coming!!
Thank you once again for putting the time and effort into another episode for this series!
3:31 apparently they may be restoring this chassis back to its 2002-2004 condition concern, it was one of the top chassis Bush drove with roush
That would be cool to see.

Also, it feels super cool to see Voti be in the credits for uploading races used in the video
Please, please keep doing these, Brock. These episodes are amazing.
I grew up watching these cars race ... This is by far my favorite series on UA-cam. Thank you!
Awesome Brock thanks for the mention man it's fun to help find chassis for this series.
Heck yeah!!! Love your "Under The Sheet Metal" vids.
It consistently baffles me that you don't have multiple hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
You're easily one of the best racing channels on UA-cam.

My uncle is in the intro red ganassi long sleeve working on the roll cage
As someone that works at various race tracks, i always love coming across the tracks grave yard
LOVE LOVE LOVE these videos! Keep 'em coming!
The cars have always been the real stars of the show for me. This is a great channel. Awesome job.
Had no idea that some of the chassis are used for many years. This is great stuff to see. Thank you for a great video.
The V8 Sleuth of NASCAR is back.
I love this series so much! The 2000 Martin schemes are some of my favorites
I love this series. Very fascinating to find out what happens to some of these historic and sometimes forgotten race cars
I absolutely love these stories. I find the chassis history unbelievable amazing.
these videos are my favorite to watch. if you ever need any good ideas for future ones let me know.
Hey Mitchell, I just commented (2 days late…) that you’d love this video…
I somehow KNEW you’d be here to watch it!
Great job on the Kulwicki Museum video. I’m a huge follower…
@@twoblacklabs904 thank you sir!
Babe, wake up ask her man posted a video about underneath the sheet metal and by the way, thank gosh I love this series
Nice video. Well done. I miss those cars.
Final my favorite series is back!

Name another chassis that has won that has had that many diecast made out of it 🤯
The voice from my childhood
LOVE THIS SERIES!
2:52 **the cozy coupe**

I watched roush chassis 175 in person 4 times 😂

That motor 11 is the same one that got scanned for iRacing for the new GEN four cars that are going to come out sometime next year

Every time I see a old race car sitting around I always wonder what's the story behind it.
Been a while since we had one of these...
so cool

Love to know how much that #8 car is worth
I had no idea that NASCAR chassis were just like monster truck chassis. The are scrapped or turned into something new.
We’re so back!
I dont know if true but i heard the jd mcduffie car he died in at watkins glen was an old rcr Earnhardt wrangler monte carlo
I’d give good money just for a body panel!!!! 💰💰💰💰💰

I have almost every original die cast Dale Sr car. Where can a guy find a place online to sell them fair?
Can you tell me who drove the mcleod #1 Ford fusion. I drove it in Charlotte back with Richard petty driving experience. thanks
What do you use to find chassis I want to find RCR 162 it's a show car now
Do one on the chassis of the 2000s and 2010
RHE chassis 1199734 any ideas?
Its awful to just take a car n chuck it in the woods to rot. The owners dont understand
@Stapleton42 … Hey Mitchell, you’re gonna love this video!
