Stumbled across this link today on Twitter of all places. On a segment titled The State of Things on WUNC public radio, h ost Frank Stasio talks with Brandie Fields, executive director of the Orange County Historical Museum; Gene Hobby, former NASCAR driver and president of the Historic Speedway Group; and Bill Crowther, a historic preservationist who manages the Occoneechee Speedway property.

I don't see a way to embed the almost 20-minute segment into a post here. So you'll have to jump to the web page to hear it. Enjoy.

So, Occaneechee Speedway will be restored? As in, trees will be cleared and racing will resume after 60 years?

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
