NASCAR season start

The season has started with a return after many years to the Bowman Gray Stadium. One of the shortest tracks NASCAR has raced on.  Built around a football pitch the cars run close to the fans who for years have been hanging over the wall waving and flipping the bird to drivers as they go past. The stadium has been packed every Saturday night with racing all the years that nascar have been away. Now they return and bring with them some upgrades to the guard rails and fencing so Nascar can run. Seeing Shane Van gisbergen mixing it up with the long time stars of Nascar on this short track has been great. For a fan from Australia seeing some history of how Bowman Gray Stadium was built and the local support that it has had since then is very interesting. There’s a video on the Nascar site with the story of Nascar return to Bowman Gray. Well worth a watch for any Motorsport fan. Respect to all the locals that have made this place what it is and sharing your passion for Motorsport.
