Julian Buesink Home Movies

I just came across a real find.

"allendale101" on Youtube has recently posted a pile of racing home movies from Julian Buesink's collection.

There is some really rare footage amongst it. Most impressively, there's footage of the inaugural Southern 500, and footage of MARC (now ARCA) from it's first two or three seasons, including footage from the second race in MARC history. What's better is that most of it is in color.

As a sidenote, the videos haven't appeared in "allendale101's" uploads, so you'll just have to find them by doing a search on Youtube.

Actually, I just had a look again, and there is actually footage of the first race in MARC history.

As far as I can tell, these are the clips available.

NASCAR
1950: Langhorne (April), Southern 500, Winchester
1951: Charlotte (April), Hillsboro (April), Martinsville, Canfield, Dayton, Grand Rapids, Langhorne, Thompson, Lakewood
1952: Canfield, Detroit, Southern 500, Dayton (September)
1953: Daytona (Grand National/Modified-Sportsman), Langhorne (June)
1955: Daytona (Grand National/Sportsman/Modified-Sportsman), Southern 500
1956: Daytona (Grand National/Convertible/Modified-Sportsman), Martinsville (May)
1957: Daytona (Grand National/Convertible/Modified-Sportsman), Southern 500
1958: Daytona (Grand National/Convertible/Modified-Sportsman)

MARC (now ARCA)
1953: Dayton (May), Canfield, Dayton (September)
1954: Dayton (April/June)
1955: Dayton (April/June/Sept), Columbus, Canfield
1956: Dayton

Last but not least, the 1953 Langhorne clip contains a brief shot of the long-searched NASCAR Volkswagen (at 1:34.) You can see it getting passed by a Jaguar.

Thank you so much for pointing out these films! These are absolute treasures.

If you do a search for "Julian Buesink" it brings them all up.

I found this one he had posted years ago that he couldn't identify. It's actually Spantanburg Fairgrounds around 1950! I can finally see the true colors of some classic cars of Cotton Owens, Buddy Shuman, Frank Mundy, Fireball Roberts, Buck Baker, etc.
