Merry Christmas everybody! Hope you've all enjoyed the flood of killer classics this holiday season. I gotta say, how friggin' cool is *this* one!? The IROC Series at Burke Lakefront Airport! It only happened twice (the other year was '84), and I have the 2nd and final race right here for us all to enjoy! Hell yeah!

That crash-filled intro is amazing. It's like having someone say how great I am with women while showing a reel of me getting rejected over and over.

It was really wide race track which made for some excellent passing zones when entering the corners. It was one if my favorites on the indy car circuit. But the greatest track of all time is in my home state of Wisconsin. ROAD AMERICA, nothing can compare.

This track should be added to ProjectCars2 imo

The good ol opening from the old days that was all crash highlights while talking about how great a driver is.

The stories Brundle must have, going up against Senna and Earnhardt.

when you think about hes been in races with just about everyone gotta be the only driver that was teammates with Stirling Moss, Mika Hakkinen. Michael Schumacher and Carlos Sainz! (snr)

Dale Sr had just won the Pepsi 400 down at Daytona earlier in he day prior to this race.

they had things called private jets back then too, ya know, and Daytona International Airport was built next to the track for that very reason in 1973, it also allows fans from all over the world to fly into the track and not have to walk far, there's a shuttle bus that takes fans from the terminal to the grandstands

it was nearly sundown on this day,,i was timeing and scoring all races that weekend. cheers from turin,italy

You are a legend of the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s.

Those dodges were sexy!

What a race by Brundle!!!

Great race! Missing a lot of those fellas competing in their respective fields.

The race had to be run at dusk because the Firecracker 400 had ran long because of that early race crash. The Cup guys were late flying back for the IROC race

Ahhh yes... the days when IROC was more balanced before adopting a "pro NASCAR" approach in terms of drivers and tracks.

I miss the IROC :(

Was such a good track. I wish they'd starting racing there again.

The King of IROC, back when he was an IROC rookie.

Probably the best iRoc road race.

Dale Earnhardt on a Temporary Road Course, not something you saw everyday.

Brundle, He would Join Murray Walker in the broadcast booth in 1997

IROC. Pure racing. Cars,tracks and drivers. Great for motor sport fans.

Sadly Prost and Senna never raced in IROC.

IROC preferd drivers from US based series, F1 wasn’t popular in the US anyway back in 1990

Emmo vs Little Al vs Dale at Burke Lakefront Airport. Fucking epic. This is peak IROC.

Earnhardt winning at daytona then flying to cleveland to go from last place to 5th. Then still had enough energy to troll al unser jr lol

This is so much fun to watch.

It's interesting in the intro how they're touting how good these drivers are yet they show each one of them crashing...

Starting Grid at 11:22

how we ever thought that the helmet style that dale wore was safe and would do its job is mind blowing

Brundle obviously his normal, cheeky self.

This is awesome. The road course guys had a chance to beat up on the nascar guys

Immediately after checkered flag i hustling out to install new high preforming rotors and pads on my silverado 2500hd so i can beat my record time to git to work 😊

I didn’t knew f1 star Martin Brundle raced IROC.

12:18 race start

why Martin Brundle pumps the brakes on straight line ?

This is racing

I tend to thrash a rental car too!

I see they’re running Dodge engines, but what Dodge engines were they using?

Dodge Daytona......Dodge had a "Daytona" hatchback that was essentially a re-engineered Mitsubishi in the 80s up to 1992 when the Viper essentially replaced it in 1994, the "charger" nameplate didn't come back to showrooms until 2005, however a CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) concept was introduced at the 1999 Detroit International Auto Show....ran on Natural Gas because in the 90's everyone was saying Natural Gas would eventually replace conventional liquid fuel as "the future" because this was the time when gas prices were going over $1.95 a gallon.

I’d love to go back to $1.95 gas... like right now would be great.

Love all these drivers but why did they show all of them crashing lol? I'd be pissed

Because such is a life of a racecar driver, there are the wins and the finishes and then there is the heartbreak and the crashes, that's racing. The made it to show that all these great men are human and in fact have as many incidents as they do triumphs.
