Car and Track was America's first nationally syndicated auto racing and car test television show. Produced by Car and Track Productions, it was hosted by Bud Lindemann, a famous race commentator of the time.

It is believed to have run from 1967 to 1975, with 80 or more episodes originally airing on CBS. In later years, the cable television station Speedvision (which in 2001 became the SPEED Channel), aired re-runs from approximately 1996 to 2002. In 2005, network executives revamped the old program, turning it into a primetime NASCAR history highlight show retitled Back in the Day, and hosted by NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. [1] It now had a modern, more mass appeal look, though only highlighting select NASCAR racing footage the show carried. The ending of the show does pay homage to the original ending, showing the original host Bud Lindemann's goodbye quote. The quotes varied among episodes but usually stated, "..and drive safely, won't you? All the pros do."

Aside from the show's large attention to NASCAR racing, it also included various other American racing. Including NHRA drag racing, USAC stock car and Champ Car racing (Champ Car at that time implied USAC) and Sprint car racing on paved and dirt ovals. Also featuring IHRA Funny Car and Top Fuel drag racing among others
