one of my roommates doesn’t watch nascar with me but listens to the commentary whenever I have it on and he calls the labonte brothers “terry the body and bobby the body” bc according to him that’s what it sounds like the announcers are saying

The program cover for the final NASCAR Winston Cup race at Riverside International Raceway in 1988. The iconic road course in Riverside, California fell victim to a combination of encroaching residential developments, noise complaints, and rising property value. Following a season of racing on a truncated version of the track, Riverside would close for good in 1989.

A shopping mall was built on the former site of the track, opening in 1992 and still occupying the location today. The final track building was demolished in 2005 to make way for townhouses. Today, nothing remains of Riverside other than memorabilia and memories.

The cars of Terry Labonte (#11), Dave Marcis (#71), and Richard Petty (#43) feature on the cover. Labonte would finish runner-up to Rusty Wallace in the race, Petty would come home in 6th, and Marcis ended the day one lap down in 21st.

Went to an antique mall today.

Yes, I do think it is quite funny that every single thing here predates my own birth and yet it all still excites me.

While I was kind of hoping for a little more variety in what I would find (perhaps something that I would actually remember from my own childhood like classic Angry Birds or Cars stuff), 90’s/00’s NASCAR merchandise is super fucking awesome, super fucking plentiful in antique malls, and super fucking cheap, so I’m not going to complain.

I particularly like the Terry Labonte (#5 Kellogg’s car) battery pack-in thing. It just screams that it’s something that would have casually been at a store in that specific period in time, and maybe would have even been convenient for someone.

I’m reminded of the story in this S1apSh0es video (https://youtu.be/PVDoWEGA-VM) where he recounts asking his mom to pick up a specific thing of Spam so he could get the pack-in Lake Speed car as a kid in the 90’s.

Similarly, there were an absolute metric assload of #43 Petty cars being sold for extra cheap, and most of them seemed to be cereal box/snack pack-ins. We didn’t get any of those, though. Both of these (and the Tony Stewart one) are actually cars you would have bought on their own like the in-box Mark Martin one. One is Richard Petty and one is John Andretti. The only one I can firmly place a definitive manufacturer on is the Pop Secret Andretti car, it’s a Hot Wheel.

I feel the need to add that the only reason Bill Elliot Barbie was purchased was because my mom thought it was funny and interesting. I don’t mind owning it. She’s right. It is very funny and interesting.

If you too have an interest in stuff like this, I can only recommend you find an antique store somewhere; there’s going to be a lot of it and it’s all going to be a lot cheaper than if you got it on eBay or whatever. The small 1:64 cars were only, like, 1-5 dollars apiece, and the bigger Earnhardt and Gordon ones were both about 15. It feels almost unreal to me how reasonably priced everything was.

And if you aren’t interested in classic NASCAR, get into it. It’s cooler than it looks.
