I love how none of this would have been possible without the internet. It's pretty incredible that the online NASCAR UA-cam youth movement has become so big. As a teenager who stopped following NASCAR because no one had the same passion as I did, I am glad that I have found this growing little community on the internet which has lead me to start following NASCAR and auto racing in general again. Thank you Eric and thanks to all the other NASCAR content creators.
glad you all enjoyed what I was fortunate enough to grow up next too. it's the only track I've ever been too and really need to go to lol and yeah might as well sit in the car and wait that race traffic is serious
This NASCAR UA-cam community crossover is bigger than the Avengers Infinity War and Endgame! Awesome to have N2SC4R, BFM, Iceberg, Danny and the others with you together, Eric!
I’ve been watching him since 2012 nascar stop motion at Texas the old skits you used to do and every movie you have made I love u man and I hope u read this
"I've been to two races this year and Hamlin won both of them." I went to 8 races in my life before I saw someone other than Jimmie Johnson or Kyle Busch win.
Amazing video Eric. Thank you for the work. Yes like many people 2 years ago I wanted to understand Nascar (you have to consider I come from Estonia!) and happened to land on your channel. Now Nascar is my favourite motor sport and I never miss a video ! Keep on.
This was just as breath taking for me as it was for you, I didn't get to see you all during the meetup but I'm so glad I got to see you as you were going to the "tents across the street" that made my weekend, thanks for being my favorite content creator for about 7 years!
Looking at going to the Bristol race weekend this September, pretty sure this convinced me! Great footage looked like an awesome time. Been to Martinsville for many years. Can't recommend it enough!!
Matt D is actually how I met my wife. They have been friends for about 15 years and we were there for the race and waited on him to come out after the race. He said that damage from Newman made the car plow super tight and he thought he would have been able to hold off Hamlin if it wasn’t for that
Lots of fanfare outside those southern roots old tracks makes you feel at home . Newer tracks like Chicago , Kentucky seem to have half as much going on . Great job on the video !
Crazy finish. I wasn't at the race but even on TV it was full of emotions because I'm a Denny Hamlin fan so of course I wanted him to win, yet at the same time I so badly wanted DiBenedetto to win and make the chase. Most emotional I've ever been during/after a race. Also, part of me hated that Hamlin (who a lot of Nascar fans already dislike) had to be the one who played the bad guy. That he had to be the one to beat him instead of someone else. Because Hamlin did nothing wrong in winning the race, but I'm sure there was still a lot of people mad at him for it. Awesome video BTW
Was awesome meeting you dude! Im short but you made me feel like 3 feet tall haha. I really hope this wont be the last UA-cam meet up. Really happy for all your success. Like Jeff Gluck said at the Tweetup, NASCAR really needs to get behind you and embrace you. Keep up the great work man.
Back when I first started going to Talladega they had Free Sample tents where they were giving away packs of cigarettes (Winston and Camel) and also Skoal and Copenhagen. Of course you had to show your I.D. and fill out a survey. I was a just a few years too young but my Dad always racked up before he finally quit smoking. He walked away with a carton of Winstons one year for participating in a contest or something one year. Times are a little different now. lol
@@mass_hist3ria574 I make it out to 'dega at least once a year, along with Bristol's night race. For whatever reason, I've been to many more spring races at Talladega. We need to get Eric down there though. The new infield fan zone should be completed as well.
I really got into Nascar in 95. I grew up going to dirt tracks under the lights in the 70s and didnt think I would like asphalt until I happened to be going by Charlotte Motor speedway and the lights were on and I heard the cars out on the track. When I learned it was free to the public to watch practice I headed inside to check them out. Bill Elliot (or someone testing Bills car)was the first car out after I sat down. When he went by me on his second lap I was hooked. The live perspective is an experience unlike any other. The speed, the sounds, the smell of gas,exhaust, burnt rubber and barbcues.etc.Ive been to Charlotte, Bristol, North Wilkesboro and Rockingham. At that time (95 til the early 2000s) the crowds were massive. I remember being at the 600 in May of 99 and seen on a lighted billboard "Attendance 202,000"
I went to Bristol day race a couple years ago which got rain delayed and turned into a night race and it was probably the coolest track I've ever been to, not stop action and there is literally not a bad seat in the house. Someday I hope to return, I would also recommend ISM raceway too, also a great track and the new infield is pretty damn cool
Yes, it is Bristol, which is one track that a driver I used to work with, Wayne Brooks got a win in the only dirt track race involving Late Models and IMCA style Modified's. Which the mods were by invitation only, which made it even more special from my perspective.
Hot Passes are awesome. I was media at Sonoma and had a hot pass and it was my best NASCAR experience I had ever had. Hopefully you UA-camrs will come to do your meetup at Sonoma, so I can have a chance to meet you guys. Plus, Sonoma is an SMI track.
You know what would have been better, Eric? If Ed Soundhead could've been able to go. You guys would probably have gotten even more people show up at your tent if he was there. And he would've loved to see his boy Brad Keslowski observe the high line.
DUDE!! I saw that Ty Dillon crowd but didn't stick around because I'm not a Ty fan. I missed the meetup because I was at lunch. That sucks! I was hoping to see you while I was there and I was THAT close!
I have gone to the night race, in 94, and in pits. Brother worked with a team, and called me over for a summer to push a broom for said team. As a bday present, took me to race, and like I said, pits. Backstretch.
Nice video...WOW it was HOT that weekend. I highly recommend to any one that if your going to go to a NASCAR race go to Bristol. Keep your head on a swivel... is great advice if your down in the pits....it is tight and close to the track .... stuff happens quick. Planning on both races this year....I will keep an eye out for yuinz guys.....#IT"SBRISTOLBABY
Y'all gotta come up to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. You would see a bunch of fans. That track serves for all of New England and a lot of people from Canada drive there. You would find a whole lot of fans
Dang I was bummed I didn't get to run into you! It was my first Nascar race ever last weekend and have to say Bristol is such a great race! Also it's pretty crazy to notice yourself in the background in a UA-cam video.
When I was at the roval at intros tried shoot my hand because I had all 78 gear on And as he was walking by he smiled at me and shook my hand Good for you getting the opportunity to go to Bristol I want to go one day
You're still a few inches taller than me, but you were shorter than I expected. Lol As I said on Twitter, and on your other video, I'm glad I got to shake your hand. What I didn't say was you're the reason I got _back_ into NASCAR. I hope I'll get to go to the meet-up next year
I live 10 mins from BMS. Lived here in Bristol all of my life. I am 44. Ive been to almost Every Race since 1992. You really missed the best of Bristol back then. It was just freakin Awesome. Bruton Smith really screwed up Bristol. I still go about every year, but i dont get nearly as excited like i used too be. I ve been to Talladega twice. Dega is my kind of track and i hope i get to go back one day
2:25-2:43 Now I wish I were at the Bristol Night Race. At least I'll be at Richmond in about a month.; 4:47 Before the season, Eric. That Joe Gibbs look-alike, as well as the look-alikes of Jones, Ky. Busch, DiBenedetto, Hamlin, and Truex were here at Richmond in April; 8:14 Yes it is Turn 3; 8:53 The Cup drivers used to come in at Turn 3 during driver introductions.
I love how none of this would have been possible without the internet. It's pretty incredible that the online NASCAR UA-cam youth movement has become so big.

They miss few nascar youtubers
But was great to see those guys have fun
Hype bro outta nowhere agreed
It's true
Couldn’t agree with you more. Nobody around here has passion for NASCAR around here besides me. Great to get people back into it
Greatest Weekends Ever.
glad you all enjoyed what I was fortunate enough to grow up next too. it's the only track I've ever been too and really need to go to lol and yeah might as well sit in the car and wait that race traffic is serious

It was such a fun weekend!!!
DannyBTalks Dad
You guys should go to Darlington.
This NASCAR UA-cam community crossover is bigger than the Avengers Infinity War and Endgame!
Awesome to have N2SC4R, BFM, Iceberg, Danny and the others with you together, Eric!
not N2SC4R
"There's *my new friend* Corey LaJoie's.... 32 car."
Everyone is like half your height
Here comes a Giraffe.......
And a giraffe comes
I feel your pain Eric
How tall is he?
James Monroe Naaaah he looks way taller than that
I legit thought you were like 6,3 but you’re like 6,7 wish I could have met all these cool guys
Ep1kEvan HD dude legit so true
I’ve been watching him since 2012 nascar stop motion at Texas the old skits you used to do and every movie you have made I love u man and I hope u read this
6:15 mans is from the future
There's nothing quite like watching a NASCAR race live and in person. It is surreal every time
"I've been to two races this year and Hamlin won both of them."
I went to 8 races in my life before I saw someone other than Jimmie Johnson or Kyle Busch win.
Boy would it feel good to see both of them see victory lane once again after their droughts.
Is it Texas
6:15: man was ahead of our time
Hey Eric It was so fun meeting you!!!!!!! i wish i could meet you again........love your videos...keep u the great work
Amazing video Eric. Thank you for the work. Yes like many people 2 years ago I wanted to understand Nascar (you have to consider I come from Estonia!) and happened to land on your channel. Now Nascar is my favourite motor sport and I never miss a video ! Keep on.

dude i almost cry of emotion while watching this
great video, Greetings from Argentina.
I hope i can visit bristol on a race day someday
I was there too! Awesome track, can’t wait to go back there. Also was a pretty solid crowd.
Man I wish I got to see you and the other channels, it was my second time at Bristol and I’ll be going next year too
Looking at going to the Bristol race weekend this September, pretty sure this convinced me! Great footage looked like an awesome time. Been to Martinsville for many years. Can't recommend it enough!!
Went to all the tents you did it is so cool to see you do it
Matt D is actually how I met my wife. They have been friends for about 15 years and we were there for the race and waited on him to come out after the race. He said that damage from Newman made the car plow super tight and he thought he would have been able to hold off Hamlin if it wasn’t for that
This is really cool. It looks like you guys had an absolute blast!
Natalie looks so depressed in the background. 😂
Lots of fanfare outside those southern roots old tracks makes you feel at home . Newer tracks like Chicago , Kentucky seem to have half as much going on . Great job on the video !
I was right next to the stage and got a coke from surez
UA-camin he’s the man
Yeah he might not be the fastest but he's definitely one of the nicest
Sergio same with Matt D at some races
Sergio met him at a walmart and he seemed really nice
Crazy finish. I wasn't at the race but even on TV it was full of emotions because I'm a Denny Hamlin fan so of course I wanted him to win, yet at the same time I so badly wanted DiBenedetto to win and make the chase.

Super speedways like Daytona are awesome but I'd like to go to a small track like Bristol for the experience and being able too see more
Was awesome meeting you dude! Im short but you made me feel like 3 feet tall haha. I really hope this wont be the last UA-cam meet up. Really happy for all your success. Like Jeff Gluck said at the Tweetup, NASCAR really needs to get behind you and embrace you. Keep up the great work man.
Eric I saw you at the race my first time ever going to race track plus my brithday was that day
Eric, your the only reason why I love Nascar ever since 6 years ago
Looking at this you were actually pretty close to where I was sitting during the race!
My experience was awesome! I loved the Bristol night race. I went in 2018 I believe, Kurt Bush won
Looks so fun! Glad you had a good time!

I never knew how tall Eric Estepp was
1:22 you needed a 18 wheeler to get back home with all the souvenirs didnt you? After hearing his reaction you know he packed a lot of die casts.
Great video 👍 Love the energy, reminded me of when I went in 2008. Keep it up !
2:45 u can hear them in the background saying "vlog" like the birds from finding nemo💀💀
I just rewatched the race on tv. It doesn't compare to seeing it in person. Now we need to see you at Talladega!
I go to Talladega every year it my home track and it's nothing like on TV
@@mass_hist3ria574 I make it out to 'dega at least once a year, along with Bristol's night race. For whatever reason, I've been to many more spring races at Talladega. We need to get Eric down there though. The new infield fan zone should be completed as well.
O yeah the new infield will be awesome can't wait
I got some tickets to Richmond if you want to tag along!
Wow. Y'all in my hometown 😂
I haven't missed a race there,since August 07
I started collecting 1:64 bc of your channel
That was totally insane!!!! I loved it!!!!!!

The fact that the camera was like 3 feet higher than everyone was awesome Eric... total advantage
Lol. Your reaction walking in was the same as mine. Too much to take in all at once.
I went to Bristol day race a couple years ago which got rain delayed and turned into a night race and it was probably the coolest track I've ever been to, not stop action and there is literally not a bad seat in the house. Someday I hope to return, I would also recommend ISM raceway too, also a great track and the new infield is pretty damn cool
I got a picture with you at the meetup, then ended up behind you in line for the garage entrance, thanks for the picture!
Congratulations Denny
Awesome video Eric, I've been there five times. It's awesome!!
Awesome bro, thanks for sharing
When I get to Bristol its like I'm home. Welcome home Eric
This is one of the many things I love about nascar. It's all one big party!
7:56 walking in for the first time is the best
Great meeting you!!
That was a SUPER exciting episode, Eric. Thanks for all you do. By the way.....Natalie is CUTE!!!
I went to the night race in 2018, it’s such an amazing experience
I’ll be here next month. Looks awesome and the view of the banking is crazy
Yes, it is Bristol, which is one track that a driver I used to work with, Wayne Brooks got a win in the only dirt track race involving Late Models and IMCA style Modified's. Which the mods were by invitation only, which made it even more special from my perspective.
I think i was at this one, I remember D.H won it, had no clue Eric Esteep was at the same race i was.
That was a Awesome Video!!! Great Race & Great meet up!!! I wish I could have been there for it!!
I was there enjoying my first Bristol experience. I wish I would've known earlier I would've loved to meet you guys
Hell yeah! I gotta go now... thinking about making a couple tix a birthday gift for my Dad.
This was my 8 (consecutive) Bristol race and it was probably the best!
My home track is Dover. I live only 20 minutes away. But I would love to go to Bristol.
Coasters, Cars Etc. same with me. I live in Maryland. Live only 1 hour 10 minutes away
I bought the e.t. Kevin Harvick you showed in the beginning😂😂
The Bristol night race is now officially on my bucket list
Jesus Lombard is tiny! You'd expect him to be bigger in size by the rage 🤣🤣🤣
I think his brother is bigger
Hot Passes are awesome. I was media at Sonoma and had a hot pass and it was my best NASCAR experience I had ever had. Hopefully you UA-camrs will come to do your meetup at Sonoma, so I can have a chance to meet you guys. Plus, Sonoma is an SMI track.
Where and how can you get a hot pass?
I was media, so the raceway and NASCAR gave it to me.
You know what would have been better, Eric? If Ed Soundhead could've been able to go. You guys would probably have gotten even more people show up at your tent if he was there. And he would've loved to see his boy Brad Keslowski observe the high line.
DUDE!! I saw that Ty Dillon crowd but didn't stick around because I'm not a Ty fan. I missed the meetup because I was at lunch. That sucks! I was hoping to see you while I was there and I was THAT close!
Go to Watkins Glen! I go every year and it never disappoints.
I have gone to the night race, in 94, and in pits. Brother worked with a team, and called me over for a summer to push a broom for said team. As a bday present, took me to race, and like I said, pits. Backstretch.
I live in Tennessee so I go to Bristol a lot my first nascar race was at Bristol in 2015
Nice video...WOW it was HOT that weekend. I highly recommend to any one that if your going to go to a NASCAR race go to Bristol.

Awesome vlog.
Gosh, it’s crazy how much has changed since then
I was at Kentucky this year not that much to do but get to the haulers before the race
Bristol is on my bucket list
When I was at the roval at intros tried shoot my hand because I had all 78 gear on
And as he was walking by he smiled at me and shook my hand
Good for you getting the opportunity to go to Bristol
I want to go one day
This was a really cool look thanks for the video.
I wish I could have went to the race last weekend sad seeing the best place in the world with no fans.
You're still a few inches taller than me, but you were shorter than I expected. Lol
As I said on Twitter, and on your other video, I'm glad I got to shake your hand. What I didn't say was you're the reason I got _back_ into NASCAR. I hope I'll get to go to the meet-up next year

Hi Eric. I like to say that Bristol is a great track.
If you come to Daytona, I'm going to try to find you all
Going to a race early is really cool.
I was here the same time as you that’s crazy! It was my first time at Bristol as well! :)
At 2:44 it sounds like they're all yelling "Vlog!" over and over again in the background and it sounds like the sea gulls from Nemo yelling "Mine!"
i caught that as well😂
Great vlog awesome getting the inside perspective!
2:25-2:43 Now I wish I were at the Bristol Night Race. At least I'll be at Richmond in about a month.; 4:47 Before the season, Eric.

Eric is who got me into NASCAR with his Diecast
Happy you got to go. I wanna go someday too.
i have a few nascar hero cards that i got in atlanta a few years back when i went to the garage with my dad.
Will you guys do this next year? If so, then I am booking my tickets
This is cool on so many levels
Hey hey it gets wild in the Toyota/ earhart campground. Come throw some bags and drink some beers anytime!!!!
