    Yes. Do More. I just found this channel. I love this sort of thing. My NASCAR chassis knowledge ends in around the early to mid-90s. I learned a bit about the more "modern" chassis, from this video.
    Very interesting.

    It was sad seeing that John Wes Townley truck sitting there rotting away. I liked those Zaxby's paint schemes. Such a shame that John went downhill and tried to kill his ex wife. I am glad he didn't succeed but I am sad he had to die in order for her to live. Thank you for showing this NASCAR chassis graveyard to us!

    I enjoyed this video very much. I have been hooked on NASCAR since I was in the military and stationed in Virginia in 1965. I was from the west coast and I had only watched midgets, sprinters and modifieds up until that time. Your history of behind the scenes of NASCAR is one of few channels like this. Keep up the good work! 😎 🏁

    Everytime I see those chassis all I see is dollars going out the door. It's amazing how much money they waste It's no wonder why so many guys fail to make it in racing.

      It's definitely not going to make it back to Bristol.

    Would have taken a few of those bumpers, they would loom cool if given a quick wash and could sell online for a pretty penny or look nice hung up

    That’d be cool to transform into a video game racing rig

    So what kind of pedal mount does the Roush chassis's use.

      They used several different styles throughout the years, depending on driver preference.
