What happens here

Walk through the Transporter Bay, where the team's race hauler is parked. Step inside the hauler to see its fully equipped interior, including a kitchenette, storage cabinets filled with food items (some very old), and spare parts. Notice the fire suits hanging inside. This area provides a rare look at the mobile command center that travels with the race team.

Goal: Understand the logistics and mobile setup of a NASCAR race team.

unmessed with it's like literally exactly how they left it everything is exactly how they left it yeah this is where we'll just look at this real quick this is where they have the hauler that's how it was but before we jump over there this is like the wash bay where they'd unload stuff bring the car in here and then pick it up clean it off before they started doing other stuff to it after a race all the floors raped they got drains there okay turn around i wish there was a way to zoom in i don't know if you can see it that is what these shirts that i'm wearing are modeled after they'll pick through uniforms in the early 90s you can find these at stabletonautoworks.com and these hats are out of stock right now but we're getting more so check that out shameless plug onward oh that's cool oh yeah you can see the tire within a tire on the uh that blown out one yeah i noticed that i think it's cool they still have the curtains in here so whenever they're pressure washing something it wouldn't make dust and blow stuff everywhere i think they use this hauler for other stuff for a little bit afterwards but once it was retired it was brought back here and put back the same way it was and stuck in in here this is actually where it would park and pull it right in here exactly where it is i think payday bar looked like that back then in the early 2000s because they probably used this hauler for a couple of years after after that happened but uh that's definitely not a thing anymore yeah i have never seen that this museum opened in 2003 i think so whatever's in here could be circa 2003 if it was added after the fact i didn't even block any of these i figured i didn't think that would actually open everything is perfectly labeled and then because i think everybody's toolbox has a whatever drawer but they actually put it on there whatever they have the original lounge part blocked for a good reason it's still nice up there that's pretty cool these trailers or something else there's a bunch of mirrors on the roof maybe you can't see that but i can tell
