Never will forget Sterling in the 4 car at the 96 Pepsi 400 started front row and led a ton of laps till ignition failed. Got passed by the whole field Sterling thinking a blown engine till he switched to the backup ignition, engine fired and he flew back through the field to win the rain shortened race 🏆 🏁

You are hitting a gold mine here. This is the stuff nobody really covers, TV doesn't cover it, reporters and articles don't cover it, podcasts just scratch the surface talking with this prior generation, but you bring us there and really dig into it. The rear window trick for the windtunnel, you might hear about that, but that was really hush hush at the time. But never got to actually see it. Thanks for bringing this stuff from Nascars golden era. Once that generation is gone, the tricks and stories go with them.

Yep…just riding around one afternoon (High Point, NC, my hometown) I decided to swing by the shop where Terry Labonte was running the Sunoco 94 car. As I walked up, one of the guys invited me to “come on in”. A minute or two later, Terry came out from one of the shops and we spent the next 20 minutes or so just talking about racing and setups. At the time, I was the chassis specialist on a rookie Sportsman car at Bowman Gray. It was just one of many times in “the older days”, when you could show up at a garage and hang out with “the guys”. Oh, and yes… Larry McClure was one of the most personable guys you’ll ever meet.😊❤️

That car was dominant with the Lumina body and when they changed to the Monte Carlo. Had it not wrecked at Talladega, Ihe very well could've won more restrictor plate races.

Funny story. Just before the New Hampshire race in 1995, Sterlins show car came to our local Kodak store in Milford, CT. I was 7 years old and this thing was so loud I had my ears covered before he was in the car to start it. The guy looked at me, and said, you wanna help me back it out of the trailer. I said let’s go! He let me climb in the car and sit in between the roll bars of the passenger side, started it up and backed it out of the trailer. I’ll never forget that day!

Larry McLure is a legend. I was at that race, hell, I was at the clash and qualifying the week before. That sound was crazy compared to anything else. It was my 2nd Daytona, what a great time to go. $85 tickets, $200 for 3 nights hotel across from the track and people like Larry doing these little things to get a half mph or 2-4 hp more. I have pics of Dale Sr taking a pic with my friend at the trailers, without being swamped with people. Also with Mark Martin, Stirling, Rusty at the old Outback. What a great time. Literally 50 of us friends for 15 years straight, 500 and the Firecracker. I sponsored a small spot on Billy Standridge’s car a few years later and I remember the July race when he blew up on the first caution because they, unknowingly, had the engine set up to scavenge the oil out of the pan and it blew because he didn’t keep the rpm’s up enough. He said Cale Yarborough’s people didn’t tell him. Just like Stirlings car, they had things they had to do to run these cars. It’s not like today where they don’t even have to shift and aren’t allowed to touch anything.

They definitely still have to shift. Manual transmissions are still used in Nascar. You'd be hard pressed to find a professional race car driver who doesn't know how to use a manual. Now obviously Formula 1, Indycar and most GT race cars now use high-tec DCT with paddle shifters, but that's just common sense because they're shifting gears way more, so it's a faster and more efficient way to go through gears and you can keep both hands on the wheel.

Around 20 years ago, I bought just the X-pipe for a street car I owned, it made my car sound like a "Stock Car" at high RPM's, it was made by 'Dr. Gas'.

One of the first lessons I received while helping friends with their cars was, “if ya ain’t cheatin, ya ain’t eatin.” God, I love the sound of that car, gives me goosebumps. Saw Irvan win twice in a Morgan-McClure car at Talladega. Those, were some of the best years of racing in my opinion.

I remember this car and the sound. A good friend of mine that I raced SCCA Solo with moved to Utah and got hooked up with this guy who was literally a rocket scientist and had designed a new style H pipe. My buddy installed one on his Mustang and tried to talk me into one (but I was poor at the time and declined). I still have a couple Dr Gas windshield stickers floating around my garage somewhere. When the 4 car hit the track and everyone was wondering what the hell they had done to it, I smiled and explained what was going on to whoever I happened to be watching the race with. Great memories.

They were very underrated until the late 90s when it became more and more expensive and necessary to have a teammate. The late 90s until now pretty much killed the teams running only one car without the same budget as the bigger teams.

I've been a McClure racing fan for a long time they're like my hometown race team. I live a hour away Bristol is my favorite and hometown race track. I can remember Bristol before it became the coliseum it had concrete bleachers. I went to my first race there in 1976 with my pawpaw

This was a great video. I remember Sterling being so fast in this 4 car. So nice of Mr. McClure to take the time to talk too. I miss those days of NASCAR.

So cool seeing this. I built my 89 lx drag car in 98 with long tubes and dr gas xpipe setup. Car sounded amazing no other car had my sound back then. Haha

So glad for this video! I remember watching that car going around the track with my Dad that has passed away and vividly remember the sound of that #4. It sounded sweet.

Best sound ever in NASCAR.. Every now and then you can hear them in any series lower then cup. 3 or 4 years ago at Kansas, during the Xfinity race. The #39 of Sieg was running it. Stood out from all the rest, even during restarts. I miss the Craftman trucks running them all the time, with certain trucks. I remember Bob's Dodge ran them almost every race and ugh. Pure music

I pass by this shop occasionally and could see the 95 car and the early 2000s car from the road. I thought about getting some pictures and sending them to you. Glad you made it up to this neck of the woods. The Daytona winning Lumina was in the MM Chevrolet dealership here in town last time I was by there.

so amazing how much innovation these guys come up with. definitely miss the good old days of nascar better than whats going on now.

I was lucky and had an engine builder from this team as a teacher at NTI. He told us this story among many others. There was another member of this team at the school also.

I was at Talladega when he ran that car. I listened to him ask the shop to put two radio antennas on the car when they got back to the shop.

When they brought this car out I knew that the sound was the exhaust configuration, and even showed a couple of guys how it was because we ran the same basic system on our limited super modified, we used CSC over the top headers that were separate banks and put the merge collector and about 18 inches behind them connected the two exhaust pipes together with the same 4" diameter tubing the rest of the exhaust pipes were made from. People were going nuts trying to figure out what the secret was with even a few thinking we had a trick 180° flat crankshaft from Chevrolet racing and we tried to tell them they didn't exist, it was even said that the engine and it's components were super trick NASCAR stuff since the same person built our engine that had built engines for a several time championship Winston West team. It was sure a lot of fun using the team's motto of "if you don't hear a new rumour by 11:00 a.m. start a new one". We would then bet how long it would take to get back to us, and how many changes had been done to it.😏😎😇

We talked to the semi driver for quite a while and he was gracious enough to let us really stick our heads in the car and get a good look at everything.

Any truth to the idea that when Roush started running five cars, the 16 (Musgrave), 26 (Benson) and 97 (Little) were basically R&D cars for the 6 (Martin) and 99 (Burton), or did the performance gap have more to do with the multiple campuses Roush was operating out of at the time? Or maybe neither?

Those long tube equal length headers were another thing that helped with a little "edge". The long tubes would give a little more bottom and mid range torque from the engine, most don't think of needing bottom end or mid range torque in a restricter plate engine since they were running them flat out. But nobody was thinking about restarts and leaving the pits but a few feet gained from little boost in torque could be the difference between a win or not.

Remember that car and hearing it for the first time. It reminded me of pulling truck called the Country Pumpkin. Sounded a lot like it. It was more of a scream than a roar. That truck was absolutely ear-shattering.

Superspeedway cars are like huge science projects.

You have my vote for a follow up with Sterling starting the engine. Great content.

Mitchell & Logan, can’t wait to see more.

That would be awesome, love to hear this run!!!

Great video. I remember my Dad and Papaw talking about how weird the 4 car sounded during Speedweeks 1995.

Blast from the past! WOW. My FAV car. Used to do work involving Kodak back in the day. My FAV 90's car. Love the McClure family. R.I.P. Eric

Sterling was one my favorite drivers meet him Texas motor speedway took pictures with him got him to sign few things love to see him start the car 🏁🏁🏁

Man this is so cool this was my favourite era of nascar 1980’s til 2003 best cars ever as an Aussie this is this best channel ever.

This was awesome. I remember this car and the sound of it.

Mitchell thanks for preserving these stories because you can tell these men love to tell their stories to someone that is truly interested in what they have to say. Great content!!

You guys are awesome!!! And the video content, audio quality and editing are top notch. Keep up the great work. I always wanted to know why this car sounded so different? I was a only 16 in 1995 and watched the qualifying and race and remembered Ned Jarrett commenting on the unique sound during qualifying. So glad I found this channel

This is awesome and I'm really glad Sterling is onboard to get this thing screamin' again.

This video was priceless!!! Learned a lot about some of the crafty little tricks they used to make this team & their cars such a force to be reckoned with on the super speedways back then. Wow........thanks guys! And YES, it would be awesome to have Sterling fire this bad boy up for the first time in decades!!! Looking forward to the intake & heads video that helped Ernie win the '91 Daytona 500!!!
