Roush Racing's Former NASCAR Shop History Tour: Mark Martin & Jeff Burton's Glory Days Built Here!

What happens here

The host highlights the extensive effort involved in finding historical photos for the video. He shows a 'Popular Mechanics' magazine from March 2000, which contained a 'NASCAR Special Section + Bonus Poster' with photos of the #99 car. He explains that he found a grainy scan online and ended up buying the physical magazine on eBay just to obtain better quality images for a mere 12 seconds of B-roll footage. He even offers to sign and send the magazine to a viewer who orders merchandise from his shop, StapletonAutoWorks.com.

Goal: Illustrate the detailed research process for video content.

probably don't do a good enough job of explaining to you guys the lengths that I go to to find some of these pictures that you get to see in these videos for example those ones are the Jeff Burton car I found that there were some really grainy pictures and like a really crappy scan of this Popular Mechanics magazine of those pictures and it was from March 2000 so what I had to do I went on eBay and I found one of these and I bought it just to open it up find the page take pictures of the pictures to use them as b-roll for a grand total of maybe 12 seconds for your enjoyment I did enjoy flipping through these old magazines are pretty neat okay here it is it even comes with a big little poster that's it that's the page all these pictures were taken inside this shop in 1999 this area right here is underneath where the mezzanine is and you can see those stairs back there you go up there and there's just just like parts of stuff but this is all I mean this is probably back in the uh back building which you'll see later in the video if somebody wants this magazine if you order a hat or a shirt from Staples and autoworks.com and you send me an email with your order number the first person to do that we will sign this and put it in your package because I don't know what I'm gonna do with it now I can remember having my welder in here
