I Found a Hidden NASCAR Museum in a Man's Backyard

Hidden behind an ordinary backyard is one of the most fascinating private NASCAR collections I've ever seen. Lester Sexton isn't a museum curator—he's a contractor with a lifelong passion for preserving racing history. Over decades, he's collected race cars, NASCAR memorabilia, historic trophies, vintage signs, gas pumps, diecasts, and countless one-of-a-kind artifacts. But that's only part of the story. Lester has also recreated an entire 1940s town inside his building, complete with a barber shop, toy store, train station, blacksmith shop, general store and more—filled with authentic period pieces that make you feel like you've stepped back in time. Along the way you'll see: • Greg Biffle's championship truck • A rare Curtiss-Craft midget restoration • Hundreds of NASCAR trophies spanning the 1950s through today • Vintage race cars and hot rods • Incredible stories about Charlie Glotzbach, Frank Kimmel and Herman Goddard • One of the most unique collections you'll ever see. If you enjoy preserving racing history, forgotten stories and incredible collections, I'd appreciate you subscribing and sharing this video with another race fan.
