History of Dodges NASCAR Small Block Engines: Secrets Up Close With Danny Glad Stapleton42 2025-07-28 | How much does the Dodge R5P7 have in common with a Magnum 360? Lets find out! Dodge/Mopar has had several different small block engine platforms in NASCAR since the 1970s.

Inside Bobby Allisons 90s NASCAR Race Shop: Jimmy Fennig Revisits History Stapleton42 2025-06-09 | Bobby Allison Motorsports opened this race shop in 1990 with Jimmy Fennig as crew chief. Today we have both Jimmy and Jeffrey Fennig here to tell us what life was like back in the golden era!Use code STAPLETON to get 55% off your first month at Drift.co drft.info/4m05f14After Bobby Allison's career ending crash at Pocono in 1988, a group of family and investors came together to form Bobby Allison Motorsports with the number 12 Raybestos car in the Winston Cup Series. The team was mostly comprised of former Stavola Brothers Racing crew who worked on Bobby's car over there. Jimmy Fennig (who later became known for winning with Mark Martin and Kurt Busch at Roush) became crew chief of the team. Jimmy's brother Jeffrey Fennig left his job at Jerry Gunderman's ASA team in Milwaukee and came to work for the team as a fabricator. The team had drivers such as Hut Stricklin, Jimmy Spencer, Mike Alexander, and Derrike Cope before closing its doors in 1996 due to lack of sponsorship. Today the shop in Concord NC is occupied by Rev Racing, who races in the ARCA Menards and Craftsman Truck Series. It is located right behind the former Alan Kulwicki Racing building in the complex right behind Charlotte Motor Speedway.

What Exactly is a TransAm Race Car? Inside Pancho Weavers Basement Shop - Where Innovation is King Stapleton42 2025-02-21 | Going to therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. BetterHelp makestherapy simple, with 10% off your first month to help you get started:betterhelp.com/stapleton. (Sponsored by BetterHelp)Many people may think TransAm Racing is a series full of Pontiac Trans Am Firebirds, or just have no idea what it is in general. TransAm is America's oldest road racing series that, much like NASCAR, originated from lightly modified production vehicles. Where TransAm and NASCAR split in their philosophy is TransAm TA1 does NOT have a large rulebook, only basic requirements. The approach to the car construction, materials, engines, and driveline is wide open for ingenuity! There are no Spec Cars in TA1 and no two cars are alike unless they were built by the same shop. Pancho Weaver here has been fabricating race cars almost all his life, starting with Parnell Jones in high school for off road racing. He raced in the Mickey Thompson Stadium Series before moving into TransAm racing where he has been for over 30 years. Pancho also worked for Dale Earnhardt Inc spearheading the in house chassis fabrication program. You may remember the TA1 car in AJ Henriksen's shop from our previous video, that car was built right here by Pancho Weaver!Channel T-Shirts Hats and Decals! stapletonautoworks.comFollow me on Twitter!twitter.com/stapleton42_We are on Instagram too!Mitchell: @stapleton42_Logan: @Logann42_Our Favorite energy drinks and supplements! 1stphorm.com/stapleton42Become a Stapleton42 channel member to gain special perks.

Inside Alan Kulwickis Private Trophy Room & Museum in Greenfield Wisconsin Stapleton42 2024-12-14 | Kulwicki Park in Greenfield Wisconsin is home to the Brooks Pavilion, which houses the Alan Kulwicki Trophy room and many other artifacts from Alan's home and racing career! The Pavilion is NOT open to the public (only for rented events via the Lions Club) so today we show you what is inside with one of the founding members!After the Hooters plane crash on April 1, 1993 the efforts began moving to create a memorial to Alan in his hometown and build a place to keep all of his trophies and memorabilia since Alan does not have any living relatives. Bob Trinastic was part of the group who made that happen and also went to Alan's house to retrieve the artifacts donated by his father and heir Gerald Kulwicki. Bob shows us exclusive photos he took inside Alan's house that shows the exact condition of how the house was left after the plane crash. Alan had no trophy room or anything on display inside his home, it was all stuffed into a small room beside his garage with sheets over the trophies. Including his 1992 NASCAR Winston Cup Championship Trophy! Today they are on display and under proper care from the Greenfield Lions Club.

Surprising Mark Martin With Lost Trophy! Inside 1980s Wisconsin Race Shop Shared With Alan Kulwicki Stapleton42 2024-09-21 | Before Mark Martin made his rise to NASCAR he raced in the ASA series for Jerry Gunderman's All Star Racing team in Franklin Wisconsin. Originally founded in 1983 for Bobby Allison's part time ASA schedule with Jimmy and Jeffrey Fennig doing the cars, Alan Kulwicki ran some races for the team when Bobby wasn't racing. They went full time in 1985 with Mark in the Miller Brewing sponsored car. In 1985 Mark's team was on one side of the shop and Alan Kulwicki had the other. Only a thin wall separated the Martin/Fennig brothers team from Alan's independent operation and there was some competitive tension between the two future hall of fame racers. The current owner of the building, Rob Christiansen, saved a handful of busted up trophies from the dumpster when he bought the building from Jerry Gunderman many years ago. He saved them not knowing what they were... until today! One of them was won by Mark in 1985 and he only had one ASA trophy in his own collection survive over the years. We brought the pieces with us to IROC at Lime Rock to surprise Mark with the discovery! Huge thanks to Rob and his son's Milweb1 Vinyl Shop for allowing us to film and keeping those trophies safe for many years!Channel T-Shirts Hats and Decals! stapletonautoworks.comFollow me on Twitter!twitter.com/stapleton42_We are on Instagram too!Mitchell: @stapleton42_Logan: @Logann42_Our Favorite energy drinks and supplements! 1stphorm.com/stapleton42Become a Stapleton42 channel member to gain special perks.
