And here’s the cherry on top: NASCAR Classics isn’t static. It’s a living archive that’ll keep growing. Most Cup Series race broadcasts are already at your fingertips, but NASCAR isn’t hitting the brakes. They’re committed to adding recently concluded Cup Series races to the collection, ensuring that the roar of engines never fades away. JR Motorsports owner Dale Earnhardt Jr recently took to Twitter to show his enthusiasm about the project, and fans are delighted.
“Thank you Nascar and everyone who had a hand in making this happen. I’m sure it was no easy task…. and FREE?!? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼” Junior wrote on his Twitter as he shared the NASCAR announcement.
The comment section flooded with enthusiasm:
“The NASCAR Library has been working on this for 3 years now. Lots of hours put into it for my coworkers and myself. Reminds me of watching Back In the Day. 😊” one fan wrote.
Another chimed in, “Nascar has been doing so many Ws lately and I’m loving it.”
“Can’t get any better than that!” the third one stated.
One NASCAR enthusiast even wrote, “That’s why NASCAR is the best sport in America, NFL would never do this, NASCAR so Great as a Sports League!!!!”
“Hell yeah it’s freaking awesome man! I can’t wait to see if they have the ones from Ona Speedway here in WV.” a fan added.
Someone even cheered, “So bada**. I’ve watched a few already! I hope it stays online and remains free. This stuff is too good to bury behind locked doors or paywalls.”
“The quality is amazing! You can actually see the beer cans raining down on Jeff Gordon after he won the spring 2007 Talledega race.” said another.
A fan stated, “Oh my! This is incredible! Soooo freaking cool!!! It’s like an early Christmas present 🎁”
Another wrote, “Free racing from back in the day. I cannot wait to start watching!!!”
“This is amazing. Great gesture to old school fans and to grow the sport. Now we need the full schedule to be made available along with practice and qualifying! Seems a lot of key races missing in later 90s and 00s so far. Hope they are added soon.” added another fan.
