CHAMPION STUNT DRIVERS

Buckle up for a wild ride into the world of champion stunt drivers—the fearless showmen who thrilled crowds across America in the 1960s. From county fairs to dusty speedways, these daredevils turned small racetracks into theaters of fire, crashes, and precision driving.

Names like Joey Chitwood became legendary, as his stunt shows packed grandstands with families eager to watch cars leap ramps, drive on two wheels, and smash through walls of fire. Beyond the spectacle, these performances were a celebration of American car culture and the excitement of live entertainment before the digital age.

This vintage footage from the Vintage Film Library captures not just the stunts, but also the atmosphere—small-town racetracks, roaring engines, and audiences on the edge of their seats. A true piece of motorsport and Americana history.
