What happens here

The host then introduces the owner of a blue #59 Sportsman series car, dressed in a racing suit. The owner explains his approach of buying and trading 'old ratty NASCARs' that are cheaper to acquire than to build. He bought this particular car from Pete Stoney, who raced it in the Sportsman series for several years, achieving top-five finishes. He shares that the car was parked for a long time before being acquired, and he noticed multiple layers of paint underneath the current blue, suggesting it was originally yellow.

Goal: Understand the process of acquiring and identifying the history of a Sportsman series race car.

shider yeah not really it's cool fire we're about the same size but I got my thumb so what's what's the deal with this car well um I've been buying trading and selling old ratty NASCARs just the cheapest sweaty junk that you can find just to make a dollar or maybe I'll fix it up and I figured out you can't really build them cheaper than you can buy them done so I flipped enough cars to be able to buy this and I bought this off Pete Pon Tiger Tom's son um that's his firstborn he had it the Sportsman series ran it probably four or 5 years uh he ran pretty good he called ified the top five s ran some top five finishes at Charlotte and uh when the series ended well Pete parked it he parked it at his dad shot for a while then it went to his house and was in his man cave and um I guess Pete's just ready to let it go and he put it up for sales price was a little high but we came together on a number that that worked and so here it is and you know it is what it is as far as Sportsmen there's no real history we kind of thought maybe
