God I remember me and my dad getting so excited to watch World of Outlaws on tv. Those were just simple memories you can never forget. Adding a few live races on tv a few times each year would re boost the sport again
Watch World of Outlaws Every Sat nite with my dad on Dirtvision these are the times I will look back on and miss.. Because every Sat nite it's the greatest show on dirt !
I'm from Bristol and was their with my legg broke the racetrack let me an the people I was with sit in a handicap section which were awesome seats wish they'd put it back to dirt again
I remember when my dad and I would get so excited when I was a kid whenever the outlaws came on tv. Especially if one of our local boys like Greg hodnett was there kicking ass. Man, times were so much simpler and the days were so much better.
Gerard LaValle ......the greatest sprint car race ever was jason johnson #41 win over donny schatz at the 2016 Knoxville Nationals. If you haven't seen the highlights of that one do yourself a favor and watch. It's got it all.
Sprints at Bristol! I totally remember this, so awesome. Faster than NASCAR, on dirt, sideways around every turn! What's not to like? So many legends in this field... Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell, Lasoski, Schatz, Saldana... Goes on and on. So cool. Sammy's the Man!
He is an absolute douchebag piece of shit prick. I watched him push a little kids face to get him away from him while he was trying to get an autograph from him. Wish that truck he hit way back would have ending his racing career right then and there. He is the old school version of Kyle bush basically. Fuck him
Slammin Sammy he is still doing it I remember watching him at west Capital in Sacramento California in the late 70s him and Kinser put on a show they still had super modifieds running there.been a fan ever since.
I'm ridiculously excited to see the NASCAR Cup Series run this in 2021! Hopefully they have WoO out there as well for one of the surrounding weekends while the track is all dirtied-up.
@@nickphilkill818 fuck yeah it is. I don’t know if the date is right for sure cause it’s changed a couple times. Really pumped but I’m a little disappointed they’re changing the banking to only 18 degrees. Won’t be as fast but it’ll be a lot better racing at least.
+thevmanvj Not that it matters, but Volusia is faster, and doesn't have nearly as much banking. Yeah, I know it seems crazy, but the record is there. It's a half mile with wide turns and the corners aren't as sharp, so they carry a lot of speed.
I remember watching World Of Outlaw highlights on Speed Channel when I was a kid, but I don't think I appreciated how fast they were going. These guys have balls of steel.
They were racing in packs faster than any stock car could set a qualifying lap record By quite a bit The worst thing about nascar is how it ruined other racing series just prior to ruining itself. I used to watch EVERYTHING, I lived in Charlotte during this time and I’d attend every race at every venue at CMS even ALMS on the road course and IRL before the bad accident that killed fans. NASCAR ruined tv deals, priced smaller teams out of existence and regulated the most boring racing imaginable. I miss racing but not enough to share my money or time with three team owners and a bunch of crybaby drivers.
Bristol is an awesome track to run , it's a fast 1/2 mile track . Hard into the corner and wheelie out down the straightaway. Brings damn good times running 360 and 410s
"If they touch wheels they will come down somewhere near Kingsport." Yes. A reason this race has not been run in a while. Though it would be a Blast to see some time time trials on this place.
I saw Steve Kinser on top of a trailer in the pits at Syracuse watching Sammy time trial, only thing he said before they announced the time was 'F*ck he never lifted.......
One of the best rivalries in sports. Early 80s with Steve, Sammy and Doug wolfgang... So many other great drivers too but those 3 dominated. Then Steve and Sammy kept it going another 10+years
The JEWS at the United Nations have banned many forms of racing. That and the Nazis in the US Government sent the good paying jobs to Communist China. Who can afford to own a Race car now..., in 2020.
I was at this race, slammin sammy put on a show. WoO showed nascrap how to keep control of their own house, and the king was movin hot. years later i bought sammys raced and dirty diecast to add to my collection
Agree. This time, leave the dirt down and see how many (Winston Cup and Busch series ALWAYS GONNA BE THOSE TO ME.) drivers can drive on the dirt. I didn't get to go watch the sprint cars there, but I went to the late model races. Both times. Had a two of the best times ever. That track was bad fast with the dirt.
Seth Hayman what??? this track was concrete in 2001 and all they did was covered it in dirt, it was a nascar before and after they had this event, by the way, i was there
Clearly the Seth dude is a moron or way to young to even know anything about this race. The main reason they won't ever do it again is because of the speeds they was turning back then compared to what they would turn now and it is to much of a hassle the amount of time and money it would take to fill with dirt and take the dirt back out won't be covered by pit passes general admission food/beverage sales and being televised. Simply put not enough money and way to dangerous. Even back then they wouldn't let people sit in the first 20 or so rows of seats Because they was worried about a car flipping through or over the fence because they was so fast.
I have the Dirt Late Model shirt and program. It wasnt the best race weekend really lot of rain. And terrible safety crew. They had a lot of problems getting cars off the walls. And the cars were all breaking right front spindles.
Gees TNN was the channel to watch when WOO was on... The issue in today's society is we have to many options of entertainment on television now. This with HDTV has caused every sports leagues crowds to diminish. NFL, NASCAR, NBA, College Sports, etc... The only one is PGA Tour last time i checked... HDTV, cost of attending games or races, etc will continue the decline.
At well over a half mile with very high banks, this is one f-a-s-t clay-surface race track. Lapping at 130 to 135? And hitting the odd corners at over 145? Probably.
Great Race. Why not just leave Bristol as dirt. Not like anyone is showing up for the Cup or Xfinity races with the concrete surface and all they do is complain about the configuration of the track not being the old Bristol. Switch it to dirt have the dirt late models, sprint cars and modifieds have a few races here each year, and NASCAR can achieve their goal of having a cup race on dirt.
I wish sprint cars would go main stream like nascar did. World of outlaws is so much better than nascar now, and doesnt have 4 hour races. This proves they could do the production end of it.
That rear view camera showing them drive through that roost dust really shows the speeds they're going as opposed to the camera that just shows them from the stands. The stand camera shows a better race angle but the speed angle is that rear view camera.
Had a friend who attended the first dirt race at Bristol and he told me that the first day they were sliding all over the place trying to get the cars set up right. The second day they figured it out and were flying around the track breaking lap records.
Really do need to bring this back if at all possible. Put it on FS1 or NBCSN. I heard maybe rumors of doing Martinsville? Don't know if there's any truth to that, but I'd love to see sprint cars back at Bristol. I get that it's a lot of work and the speeds are absolutely outrageous, but it's a great way get people into it.
God I remember me and my dad getting so excited to watch World of Outlaws on tv. Those were just simple memories you can never forget. Adding a few live races on tv a few times each year would re boost the sport again
The sport is doing great and mav tv has races all the time
Watch World of Outlaws Every Sat nite with my dad on Dirtvision
these are the times I will look back on and miss..
Because every Sat nite it's the greatest show on dirt !
I miss the TNN days. I always looked forward to World of Outlaws events on television, live.
I miss them and speed
rac
I miss the big races on tnn i wish they can come back on
I'm from Bristol and was their with my legg broke the racetrack let me an the people I was with sit in a handicap section which were awesome seats wish they'd put it back to dirt again

One of the best Sprint Car races ever.
How could ya tell? We missed 1/4th due to dust.
@@kenbowser5622 You must never been to dirt track when it's been really dry then lol

Nick Rescino beat these guys in a supermodified.
I'm ridiculously excited to see the NASCAR Cup Series run this in 2021!
Hopefully they have WoO out there as well for one of the surrounding weekends while the track is all dirtied-up.
April 22-24 WoO will be racing at Bristol.
@@huntergray8180 its gonna be lit
@@nickphilkill818 fuck yeah it is. I don’t know if the date is right for sure cause it’s changed a couple times. Really pumped but I’m a little disappointed they’re changing the banking to only 18 degrees. Won’t be as fast but it’ll be a lot better racing at least.
NOW THIS IS REAL RACING!!!!
Darrell Purnell
That was great to see that Race again, flying the Channel lock blue theam, and such a Great Battle. 🏁
World's quickest 1/2 mile.....
Covered with 14,000 cubic yards of clay....
What a show!
+thevmanvj Not that it matters, but Volusia is faster, and doesn't have nearly as much banking. Yeah, I know it seems crazy, but the record is there. It's a half mile with wide turns and the corners aren't as sharp, so they carry a lot of speed.
It's not really a half mile. Knoxville is bigger. Bristol is bigger.
Hell of an undertaking putting it down and taking it off.
Actually eldora is the fastest 1/2 mile... and definitely most impressive.. extremely high banked wide open on the fence
@@tuckdaman1185 Eldora is a small halfmile, knoxville is a big halfmile
Sprints on Bristol was awesome and I sure do miss seeing the "Jet" Jeff Shepard race!!
My step dad worked on his car and knew him personally that Knoxville wreck was scary as fuck
I remember watching World Of Outlaw highlights on Speed Channel when I was a kid, but I don't think I appreciated how fast they were going.
These guys have balls of steel.
How insanely awesome was that
Now that was some damn fine sprint car racing.
Dirt racing is back at Bristol next year! It's NASCAR Cup instead of World of Outlaws, but I sure hope this series comes back with NASCAR.
It’s real now my man!
The world outlaws are racing too at Bristol
They sure are! A whole 2 weeks of dirt at Bristol
@@rncboy2 yes it's going to be badass they should leave it dirt ,dirt track racing is the best 🤙🤙
nascrap on a dirt covered Bristol will be slow as shit. WoO will make them look bad.
8:11 interview of 2nd place was hilarious
I was at that race but this is the first time I've seen this video. Good times!
There was people there? It looked completely empty.
Damien Behnke i was about to say the same thing
Went to this with world of outlaws was great racing loved the track with dirt was in pits and meet drivers my dad took me the good old days
Wow, this happened just a few months before that fateful September morning.
Thanks for sharing.
My Dad took me to this race when i was 11, great memory glad i can see it this time
Loved TNN. If I remember correctly the WOO cars ran faster laps then the NASCAR's on asphalt did.
Yep, and NASCAR cried about it hurting their image, and since NASCAR ruled everything in 2001 it never happened again.
@@Hammer74 well the Bristol overall track record isn't held by any Nascar vehicle so reality is what it is whether they like it or not.
They were racing in packs faster than any stock car could set a qualifying lap record
By quite a bit
The worst thing about nascar is how it ruined other racing series just prior to ruining itself.
I used to watch EVERYTHING, I lived in Charlotte during this time and I’d attend every race at every venue at CMS even ALMS on the road course and IRL before the bad accident that killed fans.
NASCAR ruined tv deals, priced smaller teams out of existence and regulated the most boring racing imaginable.
I miss racing but not enough to share my money or time with three team owners and a bunch of crybaby drivers.
hill monica 410 sprint cars are 1425 weight and the top runners have upwards of 1000 horsepower.
Y’all can stop arguing now lol
That's Incredible. Bristol
Something like this needs to make a comeback. I’d love to go.
April 2021
Slammin Sammy. Those were the days. Can't believe that was twenty years ago
great memory watching at Bristol.............miss The Jet
Kenneth Mulligan what happened to jeff?
+ADAM62A he just raced his old 4J car at Lincoln Speedway in August so hes still around
Such an awesome track great racing
Bristol is an awesome track to run , it's a fast 1/2 mile track . Hard into the corner and wheelie out down the straightaway. Brings damn good times running 360 and 410s
The track record is 150+mph. Ya I'd say that's a fast 1/2 mile track
"If they touch wheels they will come down somewhere near Kingsport." Yes. A reason this race has not been run in a while. Though it would be a Blast to see some time time trials on this place.
They haven’t ran it because they turn faster laps than anything else that’s ever been on the track, bad publicity for NASCAR
@@dirtracer21d the super modifieds weren't far off from the sprint car speeds
Hello to all the Nascar fans who are having this recommended to them because of the recent cup schedule update!
Here I am thinking WTH, Dirt at bristol!? Nascar has lost their mind!
NASCAR sucks!!!!
Faster than nascars
What's hilarious is a street stock will go faster than a nascar there lol
@@ChickenNuggggy until Gen 7 comes out
Could you imagine the cleanup... All the seating is just covered.
Imagine removing all the dirt from the track
Mother Nature handles that. No worries.
Awesome racing, wish sprint cars still aired on tv :/
Good racing...jeff shepard is a great driver...ran a bunch of good cars....
I watched Jeff Sheppard race his first race on a go kart Hershey Stadium1982 Great Driver
jstrawser what happened to Jeff do you know?
Eli Gold wasn't bad in the booth. But for WoO coverage on TNN, I definitely preferred either Ralph Sheheen, or the late great Steve Evans.
I saw Steve Kinser on top of a trailer in the pits at Syracuse watching Sammy time trial, only thing he said before they announced the time was 'F*ck he never lifted.......
XD really?
One of the best rivalries in sports. Early 80s with Steve, Sammy and Doug wolfgang... So many other great drivers too but those 3 dominated. Then Steve and Sammy kept it going another 10+years
moody mile was a terrifying track too; takes stones to not lift there
I was there I was 9 years old and had a blast even though you couldn't see a thing on track through the dust
I miss these guys. I knew quite a few of them personally !
God I wish you guys would do this again.

Yeah and just better be glad because this track is making a comeback, you can hate a random motorsport and no once will care.
They need to bring the outlaws back to this track.
Agree. This time, leave the dirt down and see how many (Winston Cup and Busch series ALWAYS GONNA BE THOSE TO ME.) drivers can drive on the dirt.

@@cumminsrealpower680 outlaws back april 22-24. Nascar a month before also on dirt
That'll be something to see. But I'm hoping I can go watch it.
great memories
Thats gotta be alotta work covering the whole track in dirt. They hauled so much ass around that track!
Did they cover it?
Or was this during a "repaving"?
@@eddienewingham1123 They just covered the track. The repaving didn't happen until several years later.
please can we bring this race back
Oh my GOD YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What if we put something over the asphalt so it wouldn't get slick

TOPGUNCANADA00 I strongly agree with this.
I so want that to happpen
Brandon Gouge same with me
That’s some of the smartest shit I’ve read so far this year.
Exactly what i was thinking! Greatest type of racing in my opinion.
We are new here we are stopping on by to show some love to your channel
The only guy I know that has a chrome vise in the trailer!
I wish sprint cars would go main stream like nascar did. World of outlaws is so much better than nascar now, and doesnt have 4 hour races. This proves they could do the production end of it.

Pa posse ! 🏃 🚗 🏎
Returning April 2021!
i never caught many of these races i usually watched Nascar, but i never hated them it's actually very good racing.
I wish they would clay Wall Stadium in Belmar, NJ just once for a special event like Bristol did.
Water?
#makebristoledirtagain
Well they did
Top ten from WoO racing against top 10 from NASCAR cup on the dirt at Bristol. Wuddyuh think?
WoO no contest
I’d rather see this again than nascar on dirt.
John Powers less banking tho
Shit, son, this is how NASCAR got started.
Yeah but they suck these are purpose built machines meant to run on dirt.
I remember reading during time trials 180 mph down the straights was a common occurrence. No wonder they won't go back here.
Really do need to bring this back if at all possible. Put it on FS1 or NBCSN. I heard maybe rumors of doing Martinsville? Don't know if there's any truth to that, but I'd love to see sprint cars back at Bristol. I get that it's a lot of work and the speeds are absolutely outrageous, but it's a great way get people into it.
The woo sprints still have the track record at Bristol motor speedway
Shepherds lose was the greatest tragedy of 2001
This is like a sprint car superspeedway.
Eli Gold is amazing
I love to see the WOW, but I would have hated the job of getting that 100% American Red Clay off the track.
Definitely. That's why they shoulda left it dirt. Was awesome as a dirt track.
By a goodly distance lol. Good video though!!!!
5:00 is when he says goodly
Jeff and Sammy were in their own zip code
Nobody was going a touch swindell on this day
To quote Tod Howard : "It just works"
I've been reading the Outlaws wont go back there bc of the extreme speeds in the corners
lot more fun than NASCAR or indy cars
I didn’t know they had on-boards like in NASCAR back then🤔
Nascar? What Nascar?
Any idea how the sprint car lap times compare to the cup cars?
They ought to call this the great Tennessee Dust Bowl drought race.
On the edge.....
BRISTOL Baby
.
Holy crap they’re fast. What speeds are they getting to?
❤️❤️❤️
watching paint dry is more interesting than a sammy interview. omg
boy were they flying
How are the seats not packedddddd
These cars haven’t changed much in 20 years
Anyone know why they don’t do onboard cams anymore?
I miss Jeff Shepard in a car.
And his personality off the track! He gave classic post race interviews, and you gotta love the rivalry he had with Fred Rahmer.
What kinda speeds did they average here
Think in the range of fifteen second laps and then go up or down.
Who’s here after the announcement. Hopefully we will see World of Outlaws there
Cameron Saich we wont, too dangerous
slammn sammy nuf said kewl
