How Moonshine Created NASCAR Part 2 - Sports Bizarre
Running illegal moonshine created great drivers and cars, and stock car racing started to gain some traction as a sport.
So much so that the community of Daytona Beach would host their first-ever stock car race. Soon a driver named Bill France would be organising regular races there.
It wouldn't be long though until Atlanta challenged Daytona as the centre of the stock car racing world, producing drivers, and bootleggers such as Lloyd “Lighting Seay and "Reckless Roy" Hall.
Titus has a live show in Melbourne on 21 June. You can get tickets here.
