Sterling's Daytona Car Races in 2021 | Under the Sheet Metal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Between 2001 and 2005, Sterling Marlin was a constant threat to win at Daytona. Now in 2021, that same car he drove will race in ARCA. Now owned by Rette Jones Racing, Chip Ganassi Racing Chassis #005 is going into its 22nd season of racing long after its days of chasing Daytona 500s have ended. This video clears up the race history of 005 while also highlighting the difficulties researching old race cars.
Thanks to our friend @STEVE_KELLER on twitter who reached out to us with this current information.
Our last video featuring 005: • Under The Sheet Metal ...

Crazy how 20 years can make a car evolve from a 500 into an ARCA car
Yeah
And then there's Freak
I thought the gen 4 ARCA cars couldn't be used anymore but I guess there is a way to convert the chassis to the gen 6 artiecture.
@@acegarcia3719 they can still use the gen-4 cup chassis. They can even use the metal body instead of the new body. Haleigh Deegan ran one at the Daytona road course last season. She got 7th, I believe.
@@acegarcia3719 The 105 inch wheelbase chassis is banned.
....as of February 2021, where 21 year old driver driving a 21 year old car.
The coincidence is just real is it?
...and formerly sponsored by a beverage you have to be 21 to drink legally, on top of that
If they would put number 21 on the car, then we could have something special.
Its my sister driving the car this weekend 🤘
@@lokihowell7492 oh my, now that is a honour that will be remembered for ages. I hope your sister done well, who knows she may finally win with that special car
lol and brittney is a decent driver she could win
Honestly it’s fascinating seeing how these chassis and bodies can still be used all these years later
Well, the chassis is the same, but it has the polymer body.
Incredible that this famous car is still on track. Love this series
Seems like it might add a famous chapter with Frankie behind the wheel at Daytona
I find is so fascinating how these cars from years ago end up in different places. The fact they still exist is amazing
These “Under the Sheetmetal” videos are my absolute favorite videos on UA-cam.
Great series. I love stories like this, showing how NASCAR is just as generational as other sports.
Yes I love this series a lot also
That is amazing I'll be sure to keep my eyes on the #30 for the ARCA Race on Saturday.
Its my sister driving it!
@@lokihowell7492 your sister is Brittney Zamora?
This car is like Freak #2
The car that set off the crash that took Dale (not on purpose of course, if anything Dale cut him off) still and had been running this whole time. Never would have thought
I dont think its fair to say Dale "cut him off". Watching the clip of the accident, MANY factors took place. Wallace came in behind Dale, creating instability on both Sterling and Schrader's cars (side drafting). You could see Marlin get a bit loose when Wallace came up between he and Schrader. I think Earnhardt likely saw this and believed Wallace's car would create enough drag on both Marlin and Schrader to slow them down. And Earnhardt probably thought he had cleared Marlin low despite hearing "inside, inside" in his headset. Tragic day for sure. Im betting Richard Childress destroyed that car of Dale's.
@@NickB1121 From what I have read and heard, the car was stripped down and re-purposed. As far as the sheet metal he probably had it taken somewhere. Not sure if the 2001 Daytona chassis raced again. I know that the car Kevin Harvick raced at Atlanta and won with was the same car that Dale drove the previous year and that was restored into a black #3 at the musuem.
Looking back at some of these historic race cars and the changes they've been through over the years can be fascinating. I had no idea that some of them would still be around, in competition, and still be competitive after two decades. It makes me wonder about where other historic cars are and what they were through in the interim. One of my favorite stories is how the 1967 Ford Fairlane Mario Andretti won the 1967 Daytona 500 with became the 1972 Mercury Cyclone that Darrell Waltrip drove in his first Winston Cup race. Waltrip still owns the car and has had it restored to the condition it was in before that first race.
These are the stories us older nascar fans love. Thanks
NascarMan History has some of the best content on UA-cam. It is absolutely appreciated.
Fascinating stuff; good to know in today's throw away society that good old things can keep on going and going.
This is now Frankie Muniz ARCA car. Crazy world.
I just can’t get enough of these chassis history videos. Great great job Brock! Keep em coming
I hope you plan on making more of these videos
Oh yeah, more to come, got some research done and scripts written
And it’s gonna race again this year.
Its really is a strange twist of fate if Frankie Muniz is driving the car that was involved in Dale Sr's death when Frankie ended up being one of the last people to talk to Dale on that very day.
2:41 dale wasnt cleared that wasnt sterling fault
Frankie Muniz is racing this car in the 2023 Daytona ARCA race.
Imagine a car telling you some crazy stories of its past
Thank you for doing these videos. There is not a lot of people who really appreciate this , but I really do enjoy the hard work you are doing. Thanks again!
All the negative crap thats been on UA-cam lately, its great to watch a positive, happy story like this. Thanks Brock !!!
That was really interesting. I didn't know chassis lived on quite this long.
0:45 hey I recognize that Jimmy Spencer car, thats at a gas station near North Wilkesboro
I read an article claiming that around 2000 miles is about the max a cup team can get from a chassis before it becomes "out of spec". I get arca is a different beast and funds are limited. However if a chassis is literally bent and weakened by forces and loads it's placed under it doesn't seem it would survive the next 2 years, much less the next 2 decades.
Great video Sterling was my guy. Picked him in '94 after the first Daytona win
I absolutely love these videos! It's so cool to learn about the stories these cars have!
I love this series, but I never expected to see someone I know in it. Kinda cool to find out that Dom Van Wieringen drove 005.
i would love to hear more stories about old race cars and where they ended up its too bad its so difficult to find info on chassis
Great job! My favorite series on UA-cam. Keep digging this info up!
Hey, I worked for Dodge Motorsports at the time. That race was our coming out party in 2001 and Earnhardt had to go and spoil it.
We had the full accident report at work and it was the fault of the way Earnhardt had his seat belts hooked up.............he caused his own demise!
Wow that's interesting so you think dale lives if the belts hold up?
I absolutely loved Sterling Marlin. I still keep up with him, thanks for making the video!
I thought the name Terry Jones was familiar.
Grant Quinlan is my cousin. We’re the same age.
Essex County represent
Essex county represent!
Wow this is an exceptional story.
I love this series so much
That was a bad fast dodge
Very cool and interesting video. Thank you very much for this
GREAT series, really enjoy the chassis research/stories.
👍🏁👍🇺🇸
I thought there were limits on how old a chassis could be and still use it to race? That's crazy to see a 21-year-old car still out there. Makes me want to cheer even more for that team.
I wonder how many drivers have driven cars that are older than them
Great video! Thank you
I love how people say all chassis’s get worn out and no good anymore. These stories show that’s not true
Kinda like the old truck Freak. Was around for yrs and just wouldn't die but it was finally let out to pasture
same chassis is running the Arca race today. the story continues.
Cool, hope to see this race
Man that is one of the coolest things.
My buddy has the buddy Jim has the body from that 2002 race it was found up in Indian in a fenced off parking lot
I guess you could say its the morgan shepherd of chassis
I didn't realize they could use an old chassis with the composite bodies for ARCA - pretty cool.
Seeing what look like Gen 4 cars on present day Daytona International Speedway
I miss watching that Coors Light 40 The Silver Bullet.
It’s crazy it’s survived ARCA speedway racing!
I wonder about the 01' Ken Schrader car involved in Dale Sr.'s crash I wonder if it is still in use.
Highly unlikely but this series goes to show anything is possible
Great question they may have rebuilt it who knows
Article from 2002 says Marlin is racing 005 from the 2001 Daytona race
Probably.a new chassis built for April Talladrga and Sunmer Daytona '01. The video says the "01 Daytona 500 car was "destroyed"
nascarman history >>> youtube "influencers"
Inspections sheets have the chassis numbers on them.
Wow the car that sterling bumped earnhardt in is still around
I'd like to know how you're finding newpapers articles/interviews like that. That would of helped me tremendously on the project I completed last summer lol.
I think it mostly shows how the tech has stagnated so much that a 20 year old chassis is still competitive to this day.
I wish I still cared and NASCAR meant something to me. Sadly, NASCAR is dead to me, RIP.
I wish I had the thought to document the cars I got to touch as they fell down the ranks. I was literally within the bars of a pair of penske cars and got to fire up a petty car.
Honestly they just need to retire the car back to its 2001-2003 condotion , sure it may be controversial but it was one of the best super speedway chassis in the early 2000s and we must focus on the positives not the negative
CGR-005: the ageless wonder?
It's a ...SUPER FREAK! XD
@@badbooking3221 *Rick James plays in the distance*
Still a little confused how a late 90s-early 00s Gen-4 chassis can still be used with a Gen-6 era body and safety rules package, such as roof height
ARCA never adopted the NASCAR chassis specs because they wanted to keep costs down. The Ford is running in ARCA for 2021.......not NASCAR.
@@vietnamvet6726 Even though ARCA is now owned by NACAR?
@@joekaput747 Yes! Last I heard ARCA will update to "todays cars" when NASCAR goes to the Gen 7 cars in 2022 because there will be all these cars for sale.
@@vietnamvet6726 Ah, I see. So we're about to see the end of Gen-4 in its entirety, at least in the major NASCAR sanctioned series
ARCA and many other lower tier series use old cup cars and are usually a generation or 2 behind the cup cars due to cost. The lower the series, the older the generation. To the point I’ve seen late 80s cup cars in local dirt track racing.
I was born in October of 1999... I wonder if we share the same birthday
You had me at 2021..m1:22
That's funny because all the speed that's made for a "plate car" comes from how the body is hung...lol
Actual, chassis geometry that makes traction is what you want in a short track car.
Do you have a video on the Tabasco Fiasco? Its always talked about but the one video of it I've been able to find is lower quality.
What happened to Dale Sr's chassis and body from the 01' 500?
It was reported NASCAR had it destroyed afterwards but who knows.
RCR destroyed it after it was used in the investigation
It was probably for the best, don't keep bad memories lying around.
Car was buried in the woods on the rcr property
They buried it .. Dale Sr is buried on his property as well
This is one of the reasons I like NASCAR. You can't drive and win 21yo car in almost any other racing series
Cgr chassi 005 in 2001 #40
Cgr chassi 005 in 2021 #30
Coincidence I think NOT
CGR 005 The car that killed Dale Sr. :~(
Spoiler: car crashed 7 laps into the ARCA race and finished last.
OH, it’s THAT CAR...
Notification squad
Too bad it wasnt totaled up
Is that the chassis that he killed Dale with?
Well he's the one that caused the wreck that killed NASCAR which was Dale Earnhardt forever live number three so I would say Sterling is forever jinxed and that's what he gets for killing Dale Earnhardt rest in peace number 3
He didn’t kill Earnhardt. The official investigation cleared him and so did the Earnhardt family. It was just a racing incident. The biggest contributor to Earnhardt’s death was Earnhardt himself. Refusing to wear the HANS device (not mandatory but Earnhardt had a history of knock injuries that may have made him more susceptible to a Basilar skull fracture) and not having his seatbelts fully tightened. Many other drivers have been in similar crashes like Earnhardt’s and walked away and long before 2001. It was a freak accident under just the wrong circumstances that has been studied extensively in order to prevent it from happening again. Earnhardt’s death ended up saving hundreds of other drivers since.
What kill the best driver was when he decided to block instead of racing
@@ronmeredith8823 Jr and Mike was too far away he wasn't blocking at that point in fact he and marlin where side by side down the back stretch rusty coming up behind him with a run is what got him into marlin
Frankie muniz is racing it in 2023 daytona arca race ..#005 .rides again
@nascarmanHistory Yo! Frankie Muniz will be driving CGR #005 this year in the ARCA race at Daytona! I hope you see this, would love for you to interview him or at least be in the know!
This is one of my favorite series on all of youtube. Thanks for making it!
Anyone else feel old all of a sudden? LOL
