What is the first Nascar race you attended

Stock Car Racing History

2010 Southern 500. Left after 282 laps. Now I'm going to the Nationwide races there because those Nascar races are too long.

Peace Haven Speedway Truly Is A Ghost...

Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks

There are reports of paranormal activity around the houses that are now on top of the track.

That report is that grass is actually having a hard time growing where the track one stood. Could this be the result of long-dead racers buzzing their cars on these hollowed grounds today?

No, I'm not kidding. Bobby said it himself on local race chat "But as perhaps a fitting epitaph, some neighbors in the cul-de-sac complain that grass struggles to grow where the coupes once roared."

So could the drivers of yesteryear be joking in the pits and racing on this long-gone 1/2 mile track right now as the families inside these homes sleep?

Might be.

Wow, I'm glad the old folks are hitting the track.

I know some guy at Rockfish who stopped racing at 93 and now he's 95.

'Murica, fellas.

I'm kinda mad that they don't have the Rebel 300 anymore. Let us fly the confed flag in peace.
