Mountain History
The history of the track is unique.
We feel honored to carry the torch in continuing
the racing history at the Mountain. The track
is over 40 years old and began as a clay oval
but some what larger. Although not banked as
high as Bristol, it was about the same length.
Many of the great names in stock car racing made
a stop at the mountain at one time or another.
The Allison's (Bobby and Donnie), Richard Petty,
David Pearson, The Bakers, Tim Lund, Darrell Waltrip
and Neil Bonnett raced here when the NASCAR circuit
was called Grand Nationals, now Nextel Cup. So,
if someone starts telling some story about Baker
sliding out the back door of an ambulance on a stretcher,
NASCAR's first African American driver Wendell Scott taking the motor
out of his hauler in the pits and putting it in his
racer for a fourth start, or the Allison family
landing their Cessna 310 on the strip on the hill
behind the grandstands, it's all true.
Now that we're caught up on our history
lesson, check out the future
plans we have in store to bring quality family
entertainment to the Mountain.
