    About this ebook

    With the sounds of engines roaring since 1949, Bowman Gray Stadium is NASCAR's oldest weekly race track. Named in honor of the former R.J. Reynolds CEO Bowman Gray, this quarter-mile track has been the host to many exciting racing moments. Bowman Gray Stadium showcases the rich history of many of the major racing dynasties, including members of the Petty, Earnhardt, and Allison families, and celebrates the races and traditions that have kept spectators and race fans coming week after week for over 50 years. Today, Bowman Gray Stadium's weekly racing tradition continues as part of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.
