Former Golden Era NASCAR Race Shop Time Capsule: INSIDE Tour From a Crew Member! (Stavola Brothers)

What happens here

The group moves outside to the front of the building, which was the original race shop of the Stavola Brothers. Greg Peterson details his first day of work in 1988, right after Bobby Allison won the Daytona 500, and explains his initial role as a parts runner. He points out where a secured gate used to be, fencing off the property, and highlights existing remnants of the old fence posts and paint markings on the ground. He also indicates the location of the former machine shop and the main entrance, contrasting it with the present-day setup.

Goal: Provide historical context for the building's exterior and early operations.
