Under The Sheet Metal | Sterling's Daytona Car, Benson's Truck in a Field

- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- People spend hours and days crafting race cars from the ground up. They are tools used to accomplish feats of bravery. What happens to those cars when they're no longer needed?
Sterling Marlin's 2002 Daytona 500 car went on to live a long life in ARCA; it might still be there. The first chassis built by Hendrick Motorsports started Bobby Gerhart's Daytona dominance. GoFas Racing uses cars that won races over a decade ago. And what about those abandoned cars at race tracks?
If you know of an old chassis we should feature, let us know in the comments section. Thanks for watching!

i need an entire channel talking about chassis lineages
Yes!!
Yeah, it's amazing how long their "careers" can really be. Passed around, and change body styles, even different manufacturers. Pretty interesting. I'd like a lot more technical stuff, period. I haven't watched a Nascar race in I don't even know how long. They've absolutely ruined the sport. I raced a dwarf when I was young, so it's in my blood and I absolutely love racing. But Nascar is just ridiculous. Maybe they've finally figured that out, and at least I can finally go to a race in Nashville again, err uh, close to Nashville... I wish I could've seen a cup race at the fairgrounds. That would've been something. And that's what Nascar needs to get back to. And maybe now, they'll finally finish the track here. Knew somebody that worked there and got a tour when they were still working on it, and still hoping to get a cup race. They had pads built for a 1/4 mile drag strip, which would've been the only one in the state other than Bristol, maybe one in Memphis or something, but still, have to drive for hours to get to one. A 5/8 mile asphalt I think, something like that, and like a 1/4 mile dirt track. It was gonna be something. But now, it's all grown up. Even all the RV parking that was like 1/4 down gravel seeded with grass so it wouldn't turn to mud in the rain. It was really gonna be a nice place. But I did get to ride in an old iroc car around it thanks to Marlboro. And went to a Indy race there, got tickets and pit passes from ABC building supply. Pretty nice place, I'm excited to see it finally maybe come to life as it was supposed to be. I don't know if it will. It'd be nice to have another asphalt short track and another dirt track close, and definitely to have a 1/4 mile drag strip. We've only got an 1/8 mile and it's on the other side of Nashville, pretty good drive to get to it.
After our Freak video last year, we wanted to do more vehicle histories like that. It just took us a while to get around to making a sequel. Hopefully we'll do this series regularly now.
I love this series. Awesome seeing cars from days long gone still racing.
Please please please do more. I love stories like this.
This stuff is awesome!
this is a fantastic series
Please do this is incredible
You should go ask Dale Jr. for a tour of his backyard, as every wrecked car he collects has a story.
Doesn't he have Juan's jet dryer car out there?
@Randy HUTCHINSON greetings fellow Urinating Tree fan
He's pretty private about it and doesn't like to talk about it publicly unless he has too. He's had people wonder onto the property. He has multiple houses for his family on the property and is protective of it. There's a guy who lives on the property who manages it for him and he's caught countless people snooping around. Jr's wife wasn't happy about it cause they have a family. From what I have heard he stopped adding cars to the yard cause every time he would get a car or somebody gave him one it would make the rounds of social media. So his wife pretty much put a stop to it.
@@raulgomez1623 yeah I mean who would like to have random internet nerds wandering around into your property? There are more cars out there that maybe have cool and more interesting stories and some of them are even still active, I want to know the history I.E the dumpster cars from MBM that Timmy Hill has drove to top 15 and 10 positions, the history of the current Suárez cars, what happened with the Edwards, Busch and Biffle cars from the 2004-2006 era, and other old cars that could've been the fate for the small teams. Heck, I betcha Bubba and the Jonesboi gonna be driving old Truex and Edwards cars from 2015-17 while Denny, Kyle and MTJ gonna have all the brand-new 2021 stuff 😝 also I know for sure MBM has a superspeedway Ford that Petty sold him, It was the Almirola win car.
@@JohnSmith-mk5jt Yes he does..........
For anyone who is also a V8 Supercars fan, they do this on their website every Saturday, it's called "Saturday Sluething" and some of those touring cars are quite old!
Great work. It's amazing how many times that Sabco 005 was raced. Cup teams nowadays could learn a thing or two
I am so glad you are telling the stories of these chassis numbers. So interesting and knowing where these cars are now is a bonus!
I had no clue that that 40 car that Sterling drove could still be racing
"STAY IN THE CAR STERLING!!!"
Thank you! Living in Europe I know allmost nothing about Nascar. But I realy like your channel.
I find it interesting that a chassis can take these immense forces and still last a decade.
Wow, I have a lot more respect for the body work and history of chassis’s that race in NASCAR now. This video was so cool, learned a lot, definitely should make a part 2!
I could imagine these videos are tricky to make but these are very interesting videos
Dude, your research is in a league all its own. I am in awe.
This is awesome! Also something we are likely to never see again since Gen 7 started. With NASCAR basically handing out the chassis to the teams, the days of team-built chassis being raced over and over before being sold and raced in lower tiers are over...thank you for keeping the history alive
I love this series!
A fun one to watch would be Joe Gibbs chassis 54. Raced by Tony Stewart as a Pontiac and Chevrolet, now I'm pretty sure that same car is in the M&M's store in Orlando
I'm a huge fan of this under the sheet metal series! Hopefully it will be around for awhile!!
I would like to see one on Charlie - Sterling's 1995-96 restrictor plate car that won 4 races. Kind of his Amelia in a sense
The 40 silver bullet Dodge is my favorite race car to this day.
It's a bad fast car and could've won a championship
I bet. Seeing that marlin killed earnhardt on purpous
@Rusty Shackleford Amen to that !!!! ... earnhardt was An A$$ ..
This reminds me of the days I tried to follow particular chassis for MB2 Motorsports (being a fan of their drivers), plus not too long ago, Jayski used to compile lists of different team chassis race-by-race from various sources.
There aren't many channels covering racing, especially NASCAR, that I enjoy; this one is by far the most educational and entertaining channel. I appreciate all of yalls efforts.
Friend of mine has a 2000-ish Monte Carlo bodied cup car with some Square-D decals inside, presumably once was a 55 for Andy Petree but I've never been able to find out any way to determine the lineage of the car. Possible it's the car that finished 2nd to Earnhardt's last win. Possible it was a Bobby Hamilton car.
Based on the decals on the outside it last ran as an ARCA car, unsponsored plain white with a lime green #94 on it. Whether or not it actually raced that way, who knows, but it wasn't hard to qualify for some ARCA events. There's a lot of filler under the paint, too.
I thought maybe it was a speedway car as the trunk is heavily braced but I'm no expert.
He also has a chassis that's supposed to be a former Petty car, but it's tinned up with a small driver compartment and has a coil front suspension with leafs in the back, which I think rules out it being anything Petty had unless it was a 1969 Torino. It does have blue paint in the spots hard to reach when it was repainted. Here the only way to ID it as a Petty car is to have Petty himself or one of his guys look at the car, which means a long haul from upstate NY.
But it's two more examples of what happens to these cars as they get old. Before my friend got the Monte Carlo I happened to see it for sale, in front of a house, on a little side road that now is a dead end (removed a railroad crossing), like any other old used car. There's not even a series up here that runs cars like that, most of the tracks here are dirt.
This has to be a series! Great work hope to see more of these
Wow! I knew every team used the same chassis for different places, but I never knew how far each one of them have came!
Never would have expected that 10 year old Roush car would be a current Go Fas car!
Thanks for showing respect and not showing the crash.
this is the best idea for a series, probably the best video I've seen in quite awhile. Every car has a story.
This is what I’d like to see more off. I find these machines more interesting then the people who drive them sometimes. You have to wonder what makes these cars special and what happens to them!! Good video
Please keep these coming!!!!! Fantastic work!
What a great video! PLEASE MAKE MORE LIKE THIS!
11:16 I WAS AT MID OHIO FOR 2 WEEKENDS IN SEPTEMBER AND NEVER SAW THAT
005 also raced in the 2004 Bud Shootout with Jamie McMurray driving, crashed out on the last lap
If I remember correctly the mystery car at Pocono is a Jeff Gordon car, or at least a #24 car that is painted like one of his. There is a UTV rental outfit next to the track that takes you on that trail that goes by there. There are a couple of other cars in there too.
The Poconos also have the highest concentration of bodies dumped by serial killers. Maybe you'll find some bodies in those trails too.
Wow I can’t believe *that* car is just in a field somewhere
Please do more of these! That was great!
The funny part is that last story isn't even the most memorable story related to a car body raced by Johnny Benson.
The body of the car Johnny drove at the Superspeedways in Cup in the early 2000's, Daytona specifically, while driving for Tyler Jet & MBV has an interesting fate. The car is most notable as the car Johnny nearly won the 2000 Daytona 500 with. 2 & 1/2 years later in the 2002 Pepsi 400, Michael Waltrip wrecks (& injures) Johnny & the car was declared unrepairable.
After that, Johnny kept the body of the car & he, & I'm *NOT* making this up, crushed up the car body & put it into a glass cube... which to the best of my knowledge he _still_ has in his car shop today.
Can confirm. I've seen it a few times.
I'm glad somebody brought up this car's story. T'was an interesting article to read.
He did a full video on that
This is so fascinating to me, do one for Rusty Wallace's Mad Max.
005's most recent confirmed race has now been the 2023 ARCA opener with Frankie Muniz and Rette Jones Racing. Muniz was one of the last people to talk to Dale before the beginning of the 01 Daytona 500.
Thank you for making videos on individual cars' histories!
This was a GREAT video and subject. I've talked about this very thing so many times. Love this channel.
But something have been getting to me watching these great episodes. The narrator has been stinging my memory. It just hit me. You sound like one of the segments narrator reporters from the old TNN Inside Winston Cup Racing back in the late 80s. It really works for this channel.
Thank you Brock. I just love seeing the history of a chassis. So many stories for each car to tell
Awesome story! TY! the good old days!
Great video! Great work!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏁🏁🏁🏁
At 0:45 that Spencer #23 is sittin im front of that old gas station right by North Wilkesboro Speedway fun fact
Please keep doing these videos. I loved this side of the story
I remember one of the ARCA guys I took pictures for early on showed me a photo of a car they'd used that was from Penske that had somehow been stuck up in a tree after it was "retired"(for reasons why, I don't know). I just remember seeing the car in the hauler at Salem and on track at Kentucky. A tree seems like an odd resting place for it.
It was a nice surprise this morning to see my photo (Harvick at RA) in this video! Thanks nascarman!
Saw 2 of my former coworkers from DEI in the Ganassi shop at the beginning of the video. Miss working with you guys every day.
Just found your channel. Great video... hope you do more like this!
I remember in the 60,70, and 80's so many famous cars got used up in the Busch series [now Xfinity] series and ARCA. What about the 69 Mercury that Waltrip started his first Cup race in that was bought from Holman-Moody. That car won the 67 Daytona 500 with Mario Andretti driving? Also, Kirk Shelmerdine ran quite a few Busch races in old Dale Sr. cars. Disposable History!
How incredibly interesting. From this video, I can see a whole new fan following on one particular chassis or make of chassis. This is the nuts and bolts stuff about NASCAR that I love to hear. Very nice video sir, keep this stuff coming!
For the love of God please do more of these.
This is my new favorite series!!!!!!!
Great work. I'm very glad you mentioned the contact beginning in Turn Three. I mistakenly said that Dale Earnhardt died in Turn Three, Car #3, running third. But Turn Three was only the beginning, and not the end.
I had planned to become an Elliott Sadler fan after Dale Jarrett retired. I was going to follow the M&M's car after the UPS driver retired.
My forum signature was, "Dale until M&M's." It didn't go over well with the overly-critical online racers at the time, because they thought I was referring to Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s death.
No disrespect was intended during that brief period of my life.
Your videos bring back the feelings from every era you display. Thank you.
We need more of these!
For some reason, I got goosebumps when we found out that 568 became the legendary FaceCar
Please do more like this. I loved this.
This was awesome. We need more of this
This is a great video. Love hearing these stories. Looking forward to this series!
One of the most interesting NASCAR videos I have watched. Thank you!
I would love to know where or what happened to truck T-214 from Turner Motorsports. The truck won the 2012 championship while accounting for multiple wins with James Buescher over 2012-2013. It was nicknamed “Honey badger” and had a great start to its history. I actually got to sit in that truck/help take the decals off it from the Texas race in preparation for Homestead. Great video! My dad has built many NASCAR vehicles throughout his career. Would love to know where some of the historic ones ended up.
Also, thank you!
Love, love, love this series keep it going please
You should hear the story on my GTO 🤣
I was actually looking into the life of chassis a few weeks ago, I'm surprised with how there's a strict cut off in information around 2012 about what chassis were used where. It's interesting stuff and I really wish it was published, it would be interesting to see where every chassis in the field has come from.
I didn't know how cars are use at nascar series, incredible.
Really enjoy this series! Something different from all the Nascar channels. Great voice too man.
This series is amazing! Keep them coming!
Loved this video, hope it becomes a series!
It’s so weird seeing so many ghost cars on the outside of some tracks and in jr’s graveyard, and also seeing some really old chassis that won a lot of races or prize money and now seeing them with shitmobiles.
WOW LOVE LOVE LOVE this video. Please do more well done!!
I know sterling’s old crew chief, he’s a pretty cool dude.
This is a great series.
Awesome video . I love stuff like this.
Pretty fascinating, cool history on this car
This is awesome content. Thank you.
Might be a tough topic/ video to do but what about a video on hidden crashed race cars u can see on google earth or something. That last little piece of the video was pretty interesting i didnt know the had cars like that laying around the tracks
When steel bodies were allowed in arca and phased out of cup, you could get a properly good piece of equipment for hardly nothing. One team showed up second time out, wrong brakes on a Newman Bristol car and got a top ten. The sister car was a Busch all star race car that was just let down by how much money they spent on a motor.
Sad that the 005 chassis has a sad story to it as not only it was apart of the 2002 500 controversy but it was also the car that turned and killed Earnhardt.
I was an avid fan of Sr But his fatal accident was his own fault. He threw a late block and got hooked, happens all the time. Breaks my heart that Sterling was always blamed for it.
@@SingerDinger What truly killed Earnhardt was overcorrecting the car to the right as he got loose off of Marlin's bumper. Had the car backed into the wall, it would have been a more survivable hit for Dale.
@@badbooking3221 no argument there, I’m not trying to be an ass or anything. Just a racing deal that will happen forever.
@@SingerDinger I think all of us wish Dale Sr. came back, and I didn't think you were trying to be an ass. What I do find ironic is Dale Sr., in jest, noted there should be an out of bounds line at Daytona/Talladega saying someone is gonna get killed for going below it. That one little defensive play did Earnhardt Sr. in.
The car did not kill Earnhardt it was a racing accident he had harder crashes than that one
Fascinating
Keepwm coming that was awesome!!!!
Great series 👏👏👏👏👏
I went to Michigan for the August 2012 race and we had to take a people mover from our parking spot outside turn 2 to our seats in the big grandstand in turn 3.
Just outside of turn two in a small wooden area there were a few old cars sitting there. Wish I had taken a picture since I don't remember any details about those cars now
i took a picture of exactly this in 2016, theyre tucked away in the woods in a valley near the river raisin and the former road course. heres an imgur link

I love that a Ford was sponsored by CorvetteParts
Fantastic idea of a series.
5:40 The 22 Dodge car is older than I thought, Penske used that numbering from 2010.
I like your videos nascarman ✌️
I love this series
I love these stories keep it up!
Enjoyed video thank you !
If you go behind MIS, there's quite a few total write-offs. I don't know why they're still there, but they look similar to this truck.
beauty is only chassis deep!
OoOOooOooh a new series!
Cool video. Hope to see more like it!
I Follow you on Twitter had no idea u had a UA-cam channel . Love the history thank you
I like it ..keep going
Wow I never knew they reused old race cars and put new bodies on them!!😮 thanks for this really cool video sad to see old race cars rot away to me every one is a part of racing history and should be taken care of except if the driver died in them then they should be destroyed!!
We’re going to have a terrific wreck!
I crewed for several teams that ran anywhere from old cup bodies on dirt tracks to complete chassis form the now ixfinity series, like an old Butch Lindley Ventura.
Great video!
I live about 15 minutes from the mid Ohio course. I might have to check that truck out.
I live about 20 minutes away. Been going for years, always have walked around the property and never saw that before. I think I know where it's at.
Edit: Yup I found it on google maps. It's by the "dirt track" just west of gate 1 (main entrance) and just south of the camp grounds.

@@TheFoyer13 I went and looked at it up close before. My buddy lives on Ross road so I stopped one night to check it out. If you turn onto Ross road from steam corners there’s the first entrance on the right for mid Ohio, right inside is a Quonset hut and it’s sitting right behind it.
I believe the infamous 1981 Dodge Miranda that Petty tested before Daytona was sold to Buddy Arrington which then was sold to an ARCA team which ended up as Brad Smiths first ARCA car in 1988. ARCA then ban the chassis since they were going to the tube frame truck arm cup chassis. The Dodge aged out.
When you find yourself rooting for a chassis....
