NASCAR details extensive ‘Classics’ race video archive

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — “NASCAR Classics” has launched, offering more than 1,000 full race replays across eight decades, streaming anytime on NASCAR.com.

NASCAR Classics offers free, ad-free NASCAR Cup Series race replays, condensed broadcasts and recap packages.

Anchoring the archive are the “Top 75 Greatest Races.” The sanctioning body selected the races, unranked, showcasing “some of the most exciting on-track action, important milestones and enduring memories throughout NASCAR’s first 75 years.”

The archive goes back to the 1951 Motor City 250 in Michigan and Ross Chastain’s “Hail Melon” move at Martinsville in October of 2022.

NASCAR also has dedicated NASCAR Classics accounts on Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube. They hope to engage fans with a variety of throwback content on an ongoing basis.

“NASCAR Classics is a significant addition to our digital content offerings that for the first time ever gives fans around the world free, uninterrupted access to enjoy decades of past NASCAR Cup Series action whenever and wherever they’d like,” said Tim Clark, senior vice president and chief digital officer at NASCAR.

Visitors to NASCAR Classics can choose their own journey through history via navigation dropdowns that filter races by era and by track. They can also do a keyword search that lets them look for specific drivers and race names in addition to individual years and venues.

Once a video is selected, a custom timeline tool enables viewers to jump directly to key moments throughout the race.

NASCAR Classics includes most Cup Series race broadcasts available to date. NASCAR will continue to add recently run Cup Series races to the online archive within weeks of their conclusion.
