Dave, Don't know the USAC track but at the end with the GN cars my guess would be Hickory.

How 'bout that Dave! Chatham Mills ran along the railroad track thru Siler City and took up over half a block. Now days it is an empty lot. Level ground from the tracks to the back of the buildings on Main Street. Other than the pet food produced there it was known for the smell and the rats. Locals did not notice the odor, used to it I guess, but anyone from out of town would always comment on it. The folks that worked there said it smelled like money. I've heard many tales about the size of the rats that were found there. With that kind of food supply many of them grew bigger than a possum. Heard tales of rats as big as small dogs but never saw one myself. Always thought they were like fishing stories, they get bigger every time the story is told.
The House of Autry helped sponsor a late model driven by Stephen Grimes at Caraway about the time that video was made. He won track championships in mini stock and late model. Everyone calls him "Grimmie" because as a kid he helped his dad at his recapping business and would get that carbon black from head to toe.

Has anyone noticed that it is being said that this will be the first race on dirt for a NASCAR touring division since 1970. That would be a true statement if it were about the Grand National (Cup) division but the last race on dirt for a NASCAR touring division was in 1971, a Grand American race at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield. A race won by Buck Bakerthat had to bepostponed on the first attemptbecause of poor track conditions, too dusty to race on.
Race Sponsor Bails (or as they call it in Texas - the event naming partner)
Current NASCAR
Sponsor names should go on the race cars and team uniforms.
