Tony Stewart Gets Eldora Speedway Dirt Racing Movie a $15.5M Netflix Deal The upcoming film is a full-fledged homage to the dirt racing enterprise that shaped a generation, not just a documentary. You’re about to witness the unadulterated essence of Eldora Speedway, legendary rivalries, and never-before-seen film.

One notable example from this weekend came from the 1995 NASCAR SuperTruck Series race at Martinsville Speedway with Geoff Bodine leading the race trying to fend off Mike Skinner.

 

Bodine struggled to get through lapped traffic and was held up pretty heavily by Ron Hornaday.

 

The delay caused Hornaday’s No. 16 NASCAR today announced the appointment of Steve Phelps as Commis allowed Skinner to catch up to Bodine where they both battled it out for the win before crashing together on NAS 148. Back then, Bodine pointed fingers at both Skinner and Hornaday, but today, the trio is able to laugh about the incident.

 

“When we were competitors we didn’t like each other because we had to compete. Now we’re in there having a great time telling stories and just having a good time taking pictures,” Bodine shared.

 

“So, what NASCAR’s doing with us older guys, these retired guys is great.”

 

This group is more than just connecting with former competitors and reminiscing about old times – it’s also a chance for these members to show their appreciation for one another.

 

“It’s super special. I mean, Amber’s group and the NASCAR folks doing this alumni deal is brilliant,” Mike Skinner said while talking to the media outside the NASCAR Alumni Network hospitality tent.

 

“A lot of times we want to come back to the race track—well, a lot of us still motorcoach. So we want to be able to get a motorhome spot. We want to come and shake hands and see people.

 

I mean, Richard Petty gave me my first job in NASCAR in 1983. I get to go see him, shake his hand, and, you know, hug his neck. You know, it’s really cool to see people.”

 

Darlington is the perfect place to gather these legends, for its history and celebration of said history on Throwback Weekend.

 

Part of that celebration also entails the throwback paint schemes that honor the drivers and their families.

 

One moment that stood out involved Todd Gilliland’s No. 34 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, which carried a Ray Fox-inspired throwback.

 

When one of Fox’s daughters saw the car reveal, she knew she had to be at the track – and the Alumni Network helped make that happen.
