It's the sort of thing that was just kind of neat when it happened, but really slammed me as I drove up to the raceway once and realized I was on the very road (Route 11) that the moonshiners used to come tearing down.

its a small world John
a great piece of history here. I think you just gave NASCAR a bit of street cred that it had been previously lacking.
For me at least

Now it's all about auto makers and sponsors. In the beginning it was crazy guys who were sometimes just as happy to do demolition derby.

I just wonder if the Colonel was baked when he came up with the 13 herbs and spices recipe.

Thanks. I didn't do enough interviews. I was mostly an archive researcher and had a thing about intruding on people. I should have done more.

Like figs said, that really was a great story. I got a chuckle on how that played out and i could picture that old guy giving it to you in that old southern drawl with a hint of sarcasm. Drink one for me at Bristol.
