Middle Georgia RacewayMiddle Georgia Raceway, Macon, Ga.This half-mile paved oval welcomed the NASCAR big leagues nine times between 1966 and 1971, four of those races were run by Richard Petty, two by Bobby Allison and one each by David Pearson and Bobby Isaac all Cup champions.In 1968, government agents raided the racetrack as part of a major illegal liquor sting. A secret door located in the ticket booth led to a ladder, which descended 35 feet to another hidden entrance. That trap door led to a 150-foot tunnel, which ended at a cave beneath the track infield. Inside the cave was a gigantic moonshine still, which was promptly shut down and the track owner was sent to the slammer.The race, however, was run as planned and won by Pearson enroute to his second series title.theNow It is understood that a prominent group of old racers from an era gone by are in the process of giving the track a face lift and a new look on life. Rumor on pit road is there will be a function at the track this year. Now set down and let that soak in. Wonder who this group of old racers are!!!
