NASCAR grabs all the headlines, but the real roots of stock car racing can be found at small dirt tracks like Wythe Raceway, where drivers spend more than they win to indulge a passion.
Thank you Virginia Living for expanding your coverage into SW Virginia and sharing the many wonderful stories there are to tell here. Freddie Brown is one of my relatives who once drove my cousin Peter and I to the West Virginia State Fair in a Pussom Belly Cattle Truck, back when he was driving a trucks. Happy to see you tell his story, he is a hard working man with a great race car track.

Wythe
I have been to Wythe Raceway several times over the past couple of years. I have loved every minute of it. There are few places that can give you as much fun on a saturday night.

A need for speed
Get out here to this outlaw redneck track "Franklin County Speedway" for some real action! NASCAR's Ward Burton's son will be racin' next Saturday night! There is bound to be some excitement, you won't be disappointed. Bring a chair.
Franklin County "The Moonshine Capital of the World" - they are filming "Wettest County in the World" about Franklin County VA which of course, will have a few high speed chases in it!
