Better Reserve Your Labor Day Weekend Tables Now for 2015

Stock Car Racing History

Dave,
Was the Darlington: "Raceway Grill" used in the movie, "Thunder In Carolina"?

Darlington: Raceway Grill
If the walls of the Raceway Grill could talk, oh the racing stories they would tell. Located off turn two of the speedway, this may be the most historic restaurant on the tour. In the early years of the Southern 500, qualifying was held on Saturday and the race was held on Labor Day Monday; meaning Sunday was a day off at the track. Virtually every driver ate at the restaurant and at times the beer flowed a bit heavy and the party was on.

As far as the food goes, its good. The hamburger steak is what to order and with some gravy on top its very good. French fries or baked potatoes are both good sides for the hamburger steak.

And, dont be surprised if NASCAR President Mike Helton; NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee David Pearson, former Richard Childress Racing fuel man Chocolate Meyers or MRN Radios Barney Hall are sitting at the next table. They are all regulars on race weekend here.

Address: 1207 Harry Byrd Highway, Darlington, S.C. 28532

WOW!! Chase, That's news to me!! Are you saying History Channel's American Pickers has messed up as in "Big Time".

Hey History Channel's American Pickers:
Have you heard about Virginia Tech is given up and auction an Petty #43 Dodge racecar that driver Terry Labonte once drove.
Less engine and some other stuff?
Does this includes chassis and rollbars?
The car has no motor, transmission, radiator, drive shaft or fuel cell. The tires are old and cracked, able to hold air just long enough to be moved which, by the way, will be your responsibility if you buy it.

Virginia Tech is auctioning off NASCAR Dodge from Petty team

Randy Hallman | Richmond Times-Dispatch

Interested in owning a NASCAR race car? Virginia Tech is selling one or at least the shell of one at auction.

Its a Dodge campaigned on the NASCAR Cup circuit by Richard Pettys team several years ago. Bobby Labonte is one of the drivers who raced in this version of the No. 43.

The car was retired from competition after the 2007 season. It was donated to Tech in 2009 for research conducted by its mechanical engineering graduate students.

The yellow, blue and red racer has the insignia of Cheerios and other sponsors, and dozens of other decals.

But dont plan on making the field for the Richmond International Raceways Sept. 6 Federated Auto Parts 400.

The car has no motor, transmission, radiator, drive shaft or fuel cell. The tires are old and cracked, able to hold air just long enough to be moved which, by the way, will be your responsibility if you buy it.

Bidding commenced at $2,500 on July 25. As of noon Friday, the top bid was $8,600. Bidding is scheduled to close Thursday at 6 p.m. You can register to bid online at www.govdeals.com under the category Automobiles (Classic Custom).

Questions? Contact Ron Barrett at (540) 231-5660 or ronald@vt.edu.
