"Any Day is Good for Stock Car Racing"

My nephew used to own a truck team and also drove there. Denny Hamlin is a former champ. Hurts to see a place like that go under. It drew many of the same fans who used to attend the Wilson County Speedway dirt track.

"Any Day is Good for Stock Car Racing"

Those boys at Southern National made Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick at Darlington look like a couple of amateur hour contestants. In the 1994 Southern National video below, Scott Riggs (remember him) spins race leader Milton Cook, who is struck by another car at the start/finish line which erupts in flame. Cook continues around the track and hits the stopped car of Riggs from behind (first hit) and then backs into him, before the drivers exit and start fisticuffs... all the while the car is blazing away at the starting line. Riggs should have at least gotten 10 extra points for the Ray Hendrick lookalike paint scheme!
