Did you watch Back in the Day with @dalejr . . In 2006, Dale. Jr helped create and produce a 60-minute show on Speed Channel that took a look at races from NASCAR’s golden era that initially aired on Car and Track, America’s first nationally syndicated auto racing and car television show. . . Back in the Day only lasted for one season and can be described as a mash between Pop-Up Video and Cheap Seats. Jr. hosted the show from his home and the North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame. I loved whenever they mentioned Coo Coo Marlin’s name because the sound of a Cuckoo clock would always chime. . . #iwtbnascar #nascar #nascarracing #nascarcupseries #daleearnhardtjr #jeffgordon #tonystewart #richardpetty #davidpearson #backintheday #dalejr #vintage #70s #vintagenascar #classicnascar #vintageracing #stockcarracing #motorsport #racing #racecar
